Vaughan Township Council re- ceived a several month awaited water report from well expert Jack Kirk, of International Water Supply Ltd., at Monday morning’s meeting. Mr. Kirk’s verdict was to the effect Carrville well had a capacity of a million gallons per day with an enlarged pump- ing system but .the Uplands well presented more of a problem as there were chlorides present in the water source and without fur- ther testing it couldn‘t be known whether the water would be suit- The motion accepted unanim- usly was proposed by Trustee J. abinowitcli and copies of it ill be sent to Ontario Premier .eslie Frost, the officials of the iquor Control Board of.0ntario the local member of the Legislat- expected to be paid for from the supplementary assessment.

The council will also be asked to support the school board resolution. The resolution followed the reading of a petition from 46 ratepayers whose dfliildren at- tend McConaghy Public School. They specifically deplored any consideration being given a liquor or beer outlet on the cor- ner of Arnold and Yonge Streets. Mrs. Connie Mathews and Mrs. A.

Rose called the induction period, “a success and the teachers will be all set for a good start in September.” Re-evaiuation of Insurance on Schools The board discussed at some length it! insurance coverage on the public school buildings and contents on Thursday night. It was finally decided to have the Herrington Insurance Agency draw up a subscription one-policy plan for which premiums will fall due over a 3 year period with 1,53 of the payment each year. On McConaghy School the insurance will be on an 80% depreciation co-insurance basis, on the' other schools it will be 80% co-insurance on a replace- ment value basis. Next meeting of the board will be July 10th . I County Won't Sponsor ' Pension Former Chief York County Council has re- fused to share in a pension for Chief Siiadwick, former head of the county police force. A recom- mendation from the 12 area muni‘ cipalities formerly within the county was presented at the June session calling for a pension of $2.000. Warden Fred Armstrong and County Commissioners W. L. Clark and R. Pollock in their rc- port to council recommended Chief Shudwick be paid $50 per month until his 70th birthday in 1901. The payments to bc retro- active to Sept. 1. 1955, when the county police force was disban- dcd. It was explained that Chief Shadwick had joined the force in 1932 and that since it had been. disbanded, had received approxi- mately 330 a month in pension payments. _ A resolution was presented by Reeve C. Davis of Aurora which called for the provision of an additional $50 a month until Chief Shadwick would qualify for the Old Age pension in 1961. Reeve Vi. Sellers of Sutton reminded council that the former chief had been given the opportunity to bring his retirement pension up to standard when the pension plan was introduced. He argued that it was not the county‘s re- sponsibility to grant him extra money now. The resolution was defeated. able at its full capacity. Mr. Kirk expressed the opinion the two wells operating at their optimum capacity, would only fulfill the needs of the present water area in a few years and any large development, such as the proâ€" posedSpring Valley Subdivision, would be well advised to seek a new source of supply on their own property. Carrville Water Excellent Mr. Kirk stated the .water at Carrville well was better than ever and the iron content so low an iron content remover would not be necessary on another pump. He warned against over- pumping any well and stated a new well should be located rather than attempting to increase the Carrville flow beyond a million gallons. He recalled that the Carrville pump is a twoâ€"stage affair and the second stage could be added during a 14 to 16 be .r shut down at a cost of approximately$300.00. He advised the council not to undertake such a shut down dur- ing the summer months. When asked if there was any danger of another community tapping the source of a presently used water supply, such as at Carrville, Mr. Kirk said the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission is drawing up a prior rights water act and when the bill is passed no one can inter- fere with a source of supply. Uplands Well In regard to the Uplands well Mr. Kirk said a pumping test showed a capacity of 700,000 gal- lons but stated the water was not as good as at Carrville due to salt water in the shale bed of the water source. While this salt is not discernible by tasting the chlorides it produces contaminate the water. Mr. Kirk advocated three months of continuous pumping with an electric pump to ascertain whether or not a heavy flow would dilute or in- crease the chloride content. "It could be continuous pumping would clear up the water but we won't know until it's tried.“ said Mr. Kirk. It was estimated. if the water proved suitable that with a pump of Sufficient cap- acity. 800.000 gallon. per day could be got from Uplands. The other township well is at Crestwood. Installed in 1955 and flowing through a A:- inch pipe it was believed its maximum cap- acity would remain at 55.000 gal- A l RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO. THURSDAY. JULY 3. 1958 jam 506! 51'.

Anstey, whether the township could afford to rely on wells indefinitely, Mr. Kirk said he didn’t intend going out of the well business. He said there were tremendous quantities of water untapped in the muni- cipality and said the trick was. to find out where they were. Most of the water comes seeping down through the ridge of sandhills to the north. The water supply how- ever depends on normal rainfall. It is estimated for one inch of rainfall there will be 360,000 gal- lons per day per square mile of recoverable water. Maple Subdivision Council refused to consider a request by the developer of the proposed Grant Subdivision at Maple that the township advance money for financing the water supply for the subdivision which will also serve the village. “We originally agreed to con- sider the subdivision in view of the fact they would provide a source of water for the whole village,” said Deputyâ€"reeve R. Kirk. “We are not financing sub- divisions. I don't like people try- ing to change the set policy of the township," emphasized Reeve J. Perry. “All subdivisions have to pay $300.00 per lot for water whether they build the systems or turn the money over to us to do it." commented Councillor Anstey. Dog Pound In Operation The township dog pound with a full time dog catcher is now in operation. Kennels are located on the township property at Vel- lore. . Dogs caught running at large on public roads will be taken and held for 72 hours. If the dog is not claimed during this time he will be killed in a humane man- ner. To reclaim a dog $5.00 must be paid and a dog tag produced or secured ..‘or the current year. If the dog caught has a tag the owner is to be notified. The pound will be open to the public from 4 to 6 _ .m. on Tues- day and Thursday. from 4 to 5 pm. on Monday. Wednesday, and Friday, and until noon on Satur- days.

Markham Prepares Licensing By-Laws In a further move to license certain types of business endeav- our throughout the township, Markham Township Council has instructed Solicitor J.‘D. Lucas to prepare licensing by-laws cov- ering the sale of used building materials, scrap, used cars and the renting of public halls. The maximum license fee in each in- stance cannot exceed $20.00. Deputy-reeve W. Dean who moved the licensing scrap and used car dealers suggested they be restricted to certain areas. Mr. Dean felt such establishments can “create an eyesore". Councillor L. Mumberson moved that all places of enter- tainment and public halls also be licensed. Commend Director Third - Musical Festival Pleases Audience Of 450 There is really no music on earth so light, spontaneous and free as that of a singing child â€" and when you hear 125 youngsters singing in unison, with perfect diction that enables one to appreciate every word and note of their blithe song â€"- it does something good for you. Last Wednesday night 450 people turned up at the Richmond Hill Arena-for the 3rd annual Spring Musical Festival under the musical direction of Herman Fowler, assisted by teachers of the The Newmarket Stephens, were guest artists a colourful contrast to the evening of song with their fine selection of band music. Following the singing of “O Canada”, the large chorus of senior boys and girls from the four public schools, combined with the band in singing, “We come to greet you" - by Lord Against a background of multi- coloured streamers, with baskets and tall standards containing pink and white peonies and Iris in varicus shades decorating the “stage” area. The white blouses and colourful skirts worn by the girls made a very pretty picture. The band’s first solo, “Colonel Bogey on Parade” was described by Mr. Fowler as a sparkling re- view of famous British marches composed by Kenneth Alford. Throughout the musical parade could be heard the ever popular tune “Colonel Bogey", the won- derful “everlasting” march of World War I. “In the award win- ning movie, ‘The Bridge on the River Kwai‘. the music of Colonel Bogey was presented and has not only received further popularity but has also established itself as one of the undying tunes of all time." Mr. Fowler told the audi- ence. The Beverley Acres School choir, conducted by Mr. G. Wood then sang in sprightly rythm the “Mexican Clap-Hands Song” - by Swift. Two groups ongrade 4 young- sters then marched out from each end of the area to form two circles on the floor of the large building, in front of the band and chorus. To the playing of Miss E. Radford at the piano, these dainty and sedate little dancers, who had been directed in the art of Eng- ish folk dancing by Misses S. Bowles and M. Lautamus, per- formed the “Sellinger‘s Round", to the delight of their proud par- ents and their admiring audience. Mr. Fowler then conducted the chorus through a “poor man‘s garden", and .the band selection “In tune with today" followed. “In keeping with television and stage four well-known musical numbers arc here grouped toâ€" gether," Mi‘. Fowler said. “First the mood is bright for the fight night and the band opens with the Gillette March, ‘To Look Sharp‘. For our second item we hear the cymbal announcing Al- fred Hitchcock and his eerie but somehow amusing theme: then Around the world in 80 days. fol- lowed by the current Broadway hit. 76 Trombones. from the Music Man," Mrs R, Hayes then conducted the )lac-Killop Memorial School choir through the rollicking sea clianty. “Away for Rio”. after which the chorus joined in singâ€" in:Y “Goin‘ Fisiiin'". This selection coniured up most enticing Concert Band, conducted by W. Ray various town public schools. for the occasion and provided thoughts for all the youngâ€"and olderâ€"fishermen present, but it was not to be confused with the real thing. It was a dream, com- plete with instructions on “how” to fishâ€"but like so many real fishing trips, here too the fish got away. The band once again accomâ€" panied the chorus, as the boys and girls sang, “Elizabeth of Eng- land". We felt this very beautiful song by Wood may rightly have needed a stronger accompaniment than the piano alone, but for the sake of the noble effort the child- ren put into it the band seemed a little too full of instrumental tone. The Grade 4 boys and girls per- formed their second dance, “The Merry, Merry Milk Maids", pre- vious to the McConaghy School choir singing “Little David, play or your harp", conducted by Mr. G. Shantz. Sung unaccompanied, this favorite among the spirituals was pleasantly noticeable for the \ ay the choir dealt with the part- singing it requires. While the chorus sang. “Sol- dier, soldier won't you marry me," two junior boys and girls enacted the song in pantomime. Directed by Misses D. Barber and S. Muir- head. the children brought much laughter to their audience, especâ€" ially the little girls who gave a miniature example of, “What a woman will do to get her man". Mr. l-Iarry Benson's choir from Walter Scott School sang. “Now the day is over" with beautiful tone, each word and note flowing smoothly and clearly through the large ball. which -urprisingly enough has excellent acoustics for such an event. Just before the evening closed. Chairman R. P. Ross of the Rich- mond Hill Public School Board thanked the parents and friends for coming and made special mention of Herman -‘owler's wonâ€" derful work in promoting music among the school children of the town. Other members of the school board present were Trus- tees Margaret Southwell and Harold Sanderson. Trustee Sanâ€" derson acted as ticket-seller for the occasion. The chorus.

Following a lengthy discussion on a report from the planning committee Trustee L. D. Clement and J. Rabinowitch, andlfrom the supervising principal Dnard Rose he board gave unanimous approv- alto the motion of Trustee itabin- owitch, seconded by Trustee H. Sanderson. that arose from the fact new permanent construction would be necessary by next spring in view of rising public school enrollment brought about by houses already constructed as well as those slated for comp- letion during the summer‘and fall. 4 More Rooms Needed This Fall Supervising principal, Mr‘. Rose emphasized that in addition to temporary classroom space being used until Crosby Ave., Public School is completed, four other rooms are needed for September to provide accommodation for children in the eastern part of town. In presenting the planning committee report Trustee Clem- ent stated, “growth in our town has been faster than anticipated The expansion of the mortgage market in the later part of the year led to building of new homes at a rate which if continued would mean virtual completion of residential construction in our town by, say, 1959; whereas, in the report previously submitted it had been supposed that this would extend into 1960.” Mr. Clement went on to say, “It should be recognized that in the area west of the C.N.R., our facilities continue to be operated at capacity, li.e. 34.8 pupils per classroom at MacKillop Memor- ial Public School), and any fur- ther increase either by annex- ation or new residential land, or from increasing enrolment from existing homes, will probably call for new school construction. The planning committee recom- mended town council and plan- ning board be advised of this latâ€" ter condition. East of the C.N.R., when school begins in September, the twelve classrooms which will lat- ter move into Crosby Ave., Pub- lic School when completed, are to be situated as follows: in four portables, in the hall, and in the teacher's room at Beverley Acres School; in two rooms at the Orange Home: in a basement room at McConaghy School; in the Sunday School room of St. l l The Beverley Acres School can expand to 14 classrooms on the present heating and room at Scott School with no new influx. Two more units are deem- ed a necessity at Scott for fall use. The average per classroom in the other eastern schools will be 35 pupils. Supervising prin- cipal Rose called it, “Unrealistic to start off a school year with 35 pupils per classroom." Seek Aproval Now Charman Robert Ross and Trustee Margaret Southwell were of the opinion since four more classrooms were needed for Sept- ember, in addition to the temp- orary accommodation for Crosby School, it was time to start seek- ing the approval necessary for the anticipated building prog- ram. As the new developments are to take place in the Elgin Mills area (244 homes), and in the A1- lencourt Area (54 homes), and with the approval for the instal- lation of sewers in the East Elm- wood area it was decided addit- ions to Beverley Acres School of four rooms and Scott School of six rooms would be more pract- ical than a new 12 room unit at Scott alone. ‘The Ten Commandments’ Held for Extended, Run Cecil B.
