Richmond Hill’s annual municipal nomination meet- ing will be held this year on Monday, N0vember 24th, and voting will take place on Saturday, December 6th. Council members Monday night gave unanimous support to a motion setting the dates presented by Councillor James Haggart. Councillor Haggart in support of his motion cited the large vote polled in the. liquor referendum held on a Sat- urday and contended that a Saturday voting day was more convenient for ratepayers and would avoid the undesirable line-ups and closing hour rush of previous years. COuncillor Tinker seconded’the Haggart resolution and all members were In hearty agreement. -Mayor Tomlin said he agreed the longer the period between nomination day and voting was \cry desirable. "It gives the rate- payers ample opportunity to get to know the candidates,” he said, “and it enables the candidate to get better acquainted with the people." The Mayor said that when more than 60 per cent of the voters turned out on 3 Sat- urday for the liquor vote, com- pared with a little better than 4') per cent for the last municip- al election. he thought it was a gaud idea to try Saturday voting. “We might as well get b91121 on a Saturday as any othcr day," was the jocular observation of J‘Iepuly-reeve ‘Plaxton. “That's a despondent viewpoint," said Councillor Tinker. I‘ark Land Council policy has been to reâ€" qi‘ire dedication to the municip- ality of five per cent of new sub- divisions for public purposes. Monday night they adopted a sug- gestion from the Planning Board that in small sub-divisions if the 5 per cent works out to less than $150.00 per lot that the $150.00 be charged as a minimum.

Angle appeared before council with a request that the 165 feet frontage on the south side of Bedford Park Ave., im- mediately east of the recently opened fruit market. be re-zoned as a residential area. At present it. is zoned as commercial and the ’le‘ning Board recently ruled against his request. Mr. Angle said the Bedford Park Floral Co.. owners of the land wanted to keep faith with the people who have already built nice homes in the area and had no idea that this small sect- ion would be zoned as commer~ cial. It was said the lanning Board view was that t is land will be required for off-Yonge Street commercial and ofiice buildings. Mr. Angle said his Company was quite happy to forego any additional price the land might command as com- mercial property. Mr. William Charles and Mr. Wilson Beres- ford residents of the area con- curred in Mr. Angle‘s request ing might be possible i.‘ a petition is presented indicating clearly that this is the wish of the people in the district. Mr. Angle said he woull be happy to sponsor iishment and gave with L‘cuncxllor James Hazgu‘ he had a very pleasant and sat isfactory interview with T.T.C Chairman Alan Lamport. Shown above is the model of the proposed new Anglican Church of St. Gabriel, to be located at the corner of Bayview and Crosby Avenues, Rich- .\ letter from the '1 :ssed approval of t nst h ant of'the local bus service, we permission for its oper- on Yonge Street although proves ‘l‘om i011 {C mated that r Lw gaérie/ Jug/[can CZurc/t tation Ratcliff’s Ltd, wrote council stating that considerable expan- sion of operation is planned for 1959 and enquiring about water supply. The letter stated that new equipment to be installed would increase the company's water requirements from about 100,000 gallons weekly to about 400,000 gallons. The letter asked if this additional supply would Plan Expznsion be available “without restrictâ€" ions." Mayor Tomlin and mem- bers of cams: raj‘csd t‘lat very definite assurance could 1): given that the rcquired water supply will available. Mayor Tomlin reported that test drilling for additional water supply is still being carried on. and operations are now located in Vaughan Township. Increase Grant Council welcomed a communi- cation from the Ontario Highways Department advising of an in- crease from 50 to 75 per cent of the cost of building and main- taining provincial highway con~ necting links. Yonge Street through Richmond Hill is such a connecting link and is covered by a connecting link agreement between the province and the municipality. Nursing Home A letter from the County of York advised it would share in the cost of Nursing Home pat- ients only when the homes hax‘le been inspected and meet the re- quirements of the Health Unit and the Fire Chief. A special council committee will investigate the best means of licencing all Nursing Homes. It was suggested licences might be required for day schools and nursery and kindergaten classes when operated by individuals or private organizations. It was agreed they should meet all safe- ty requirements. New Light Councillor Tinker drew atten- tion to the need for an additional street light at Mill and Bridge- port. The mayor agreed to bring the request to the attention of the Hydro Commission . Councillor Tinker, Roads Chair- man. suggested provision be made in future sub-division plan- ning for a flare in road widths on crescents and streets where there are circles and turns. The tendency is for traffic to take wide on the turns with result~ ant damage to the shoulders. “I drive these streets quite a bit. and at 20 miles an hour I have experienced no difficulty in making the turns," said the May- or. Someone suggested council had to provide for the bad as well as the good drivers. C N Express mond Hill. It is nowjimited to a specific area. Council concurrpd and the request will be made to mond Hill. In the recent campaign for funds, $56,000 was raised in pledges. The Rector is the Reverend J. W. New- ton-Smith. Architects are Noble and Douglas, of Toronto. 'n of Rich- imited to a asked that 'the Express Company. Some time ago a similar request was turned down. “I don‘t know with what reason," commented council- lor Haggart. County Planning Boad Mayor Tomlin, Deputy-reeve Plaxtcn and Councillor Haggart all spoke favourably of a County suggestion for a County Planning Board. “I would like to see such a Board replace the present Metro Board," said Councillor Haggart. “I spoke strongly in favour of such a Board at County Council," said Deputy-i‘eevc‘Plaxton. Mayoi Tomlin thought a County Boarc' could plan better for fringe and neighbouring municipalities than the Metro Board. He felt it undemocratic that the present Metro Board should be planning for municipalities without any direct representation from the municipalities concerned. Paving Started Councillor Bradstock who at the last meeting was sharply crit- ical of the nelay in road work and paving operations in Bever- ley Acres expressed gratification that the work is now well under way. Crosby ,Ditch Deput‘y-reeve Plaxton reported complaints of contamination and odours from the Crosby ditch. It was stated the trouble is that paint cans, debris of all kinds and even garbage is clogging the dit- ch. Works Supt. Bovaird said he thought the trouble soon would be rectified. “Most of the trouble fumes from builders,’ he said. SzTety Measures Measures for safety recom- mended by Fire Chief Alfred Song for the Richmond Hill arena will be implemented at once. On motion of Deputy-reeve Plaxton and councillor Bradstock local contractors will be contacted on prices for work to be (lone. Recommended were exit doors on the cast. north and west sides of the arena, and new fire proof construction for the boiler room. It was suggested too that the crawl space under the seats b2 cleanch immediater of refuse which is a considerable fire haz- ard. Appointment On motion of Deputy-ream Plaxton, Gordon Lemon, Lucas Strett was named as a wan representative on the Metro Cbn- servatiou Authority. Deputvâ€"reeve Plaxton has served as the sole town appointee on the Bard but now the municipality is entitled to two representatives. Table Letter After two divisions council fail- ed to agree to either suggestions by Planning Board for the sub- dividing of a 151 foot lot on Arnold Crescent. It was agreed to table the letter for consider- ation at: the next meeting. The lot has ample frontage for two lots but the location of the house presents a difficulty in sub-divid- ing. Planning Board Chairman Norman Todd who was present suggested council action showed lack of confidence in the Plan- ning Board. “No such thing,” said Mayor Tomlin. ruling the inâ€" terjection out of order. Ask Park Notice was‘ given that :1 del- egation of Allancourt Ratepayers Assoc. will at the next meeting of council present a petition signed by some 175 ratepayers asking for a park in that district. AGINCOURT : Mr. J. J. Hender- son, Scarboro Public School In- spector. addressing 21 graduating students at North Agincourt Pub. lic School told them they had "one foot on the ladder of suc- cess but the rung was only for shifting the weight so the next step could be taken upward." SHARON : A policeman’s lot is not always a happy one. East Gwillimbui‘y Police Chief agrees and is quitting police work at the age of 62 after 27 years ser- vice. He said he is tired of lis- tening to everybody's troubles. exit doors west sides fire proof The half yea‘rly report pres- ented to council by Richmond Hill Police Chief R. P.
