Many Rumors Warden Doesn't The Sug The story in the metropolitan press last week about a proposed 2.000 acre marshalling yard for the CNR to be located in Vaughâ€" an or Markham townships south of Richmond Hill has inspired many rumors concerning future development in this district. “The Liberal" has endeavoured to se- cure authentic information. but at press time no definite statement is available from any of the auth- orities. It would appear that the pro- posal for a large railway yard in this area is very much in the planning stage as far as the rail- way, municipal or planning offic- ials are concerned. One rumor generally leads to others, and one Of the latest is that Metro Toronto will annex Richmond Hill within a year. There is no foundation whatso- ever for such a rumor. As Metro Chairman Fred Gardiner is re- ported to have said, “why should Metro want Richmond Hill‘.’ There is nothing there for us. If there was some serious industrial assessment .we might then be in- terested." York County Warden Fred Armstrong doesn’t think much of the idea of a railway yard in the south end of the County. “Mayor Phillips objects to To- ronto being called Hogtown. I say it is one big family of hogs. When Bill 80 became law in 1953, Metropolitan Toronto stole all industrial assessment in North York. It will be making a dumping ground of York County if the CNR marshaling yards are brought up here fromr the lake front." said Warden Amstrong. who is Reeve of Wood- bridge. at York County Council after reading that CNR‘s propos- ed marshalling yards, on 2,000 acres in York County. may be built between Yonge and Kecle streets, south of Richmond Hill. “This is merely a thought. It has not been brought before Met- ro Planning Board yet," said Dep- uty-reeve ,Robert Kirk of Vaughan, who represents York Of York Favour gestion the industrial assessment of Richâ€" mond Hill may increase steadily and give the community a balanc- ed assessment which in the end could mean a loweringof taxes. Extension of Metro‘s authority to control industrial and residen- tial development in neighbouring municipalities was called for this week by Fred Gardiner, Metro chairman. For the present, he stated. Met- ro is more concerned with its own development problems than extending services beyond its borders. But Metro is already concerned about package sewage plants in Vaughan and Markham townships which, if overloaded, could pollute the Don water shed right down to Toronto bay. Impact on the surrounding areas of developments made nec- essary by Metro's growth. such as the discussed establishment Of a CNR freight centre and provinâ€" cial bypass highway north of the municipality. has been under study by Metro planners for some time. I The two northern townships in particular. as they fall geographi- cally within the Metro watershed, must turn to Metro for aid in providing municipal services made necessary by large-scale land development. If they would agree to severe restrictions on residential devel- opment, said Mr. Gardiner. Metro could consider providing perman- ent facilities for services in the nortl ern townships to tie in with its water and sewage system. F. L. Lowrie. 13.0.

"The County should have a united say before this plan goes through Metro." he agreed. To Warden Armstrong, a mar- shalling yard in the south sec- tion Of York Countv would be “no beauty spot." The farmers would move out. Land now worth $3000 an acre would be worthy : if this takes appoint only $500 place. “Council should during a debate on the advisabil- ity of appointing a Planning Board for York County. I "The Liberal" learns that plans for the railway yards have been under discussion for some time. Even yet they have not been dis- closed officially. During primary planning. there was even the sug- gestion that a new Union Sta- tion for Toronto be incorporated. This was dropped because the railroad are not permitted to have a grade of more than 1 per cent. and greater angles would have been encountered under the prop- l osition. . i " Some preparatory work has al- ready been accomplished. A drill- ing rig was set up near the CNR line just east of Yonge Street at No. 7 highway. This was done to Secure soil samples ready for com. struction of the new overpass to‘ of be built there. An aerial photo-j _ graphic survey of the area was made by helicopter last week to aid in planning. And though no official would consent to be quotâ€"3 ed “The Liberal“ learned some-V 2, thing of the plans for highway development in the area. A new super-highway will rung north and south between the 4th " and 5th concessions of Markham township. a twin of. and parallel to No. 400. The present No. 7 highway \vill' . be improved to become a twin to the present NO. 401 highway. it new overpass will be built over ‘ of Yonge, I, Street; and a new type of traffic ‘ the CNR line east interchange will be constructed at the present intersection of No. 7 and \‘Onge Street. Another new highway may be’ .- the = present No. 7 and it will be No. 7‘ '5 constructed just north of when it is completed. Construction work on the mar- shalling yard will not be started for two years yet. but it is evident that residential and commercial interests are getting started now. The new shopping centre just south Of Richmond Hill will be ' started almost immediately. Upon completion. homes and apart lments will be built near it“ It only follows that such things ' as churches. schools and municip- al services will then be installed. The 43 acre tract of land on No. 7 highway west of Pinecrest Speedway which has been purchâ€" ascd by Star Transfer to use as a central shipping depot {or lumber in the Metro area may be conspic- uously close to the new twin railâ€" road lines passing by from the niurshalling yards to Port Credit.

Thursday, November 27, 1958â€" 7: Vaughan TWp. Is Sold For $30,000 There was a large crowd at the George Donneral Estate auction sale last Wednesday afternoon. The ninety acre farm on Conces- sion 7 at Purpleville was sold to Frank Robson of Maple for $30.- 000. There are about 75 acres workable and there is an attrac- tive stream on the property. Cows averaged $250.. lambs brought $22.00. a horse sold for 580.. old cutters $10. each, oats $40.50 per ton. and wheat $1.20 per bushel. A. S. Farmer. auction- eer, conducted the successful sale. Useful Insect Subject Very Interesting Talk The Richmond Hill Naturalists' group. at their regular monthly meeting on Friday, November 215t, heard a talk by Dr. F. P. Ide. Dept. of Zoology. University of Toronto. Dr. ldc. who is a well- known entomologist. gave an ilâ€" lustrated lecture on certain in- sects which have had a benefic' ial and powerful influence on human and world commercial af- fairs. The speaker pointed out that, contrary to the unthinking opinion of a great many people. insects are far from being all “culprits”. By way of example. the silk- worm was singled out as a spec- ics which has probably had a greater influence than any other. The silkworm, originally a native of China. now only exists in its domesticated form. Silkworm cul- ture and the production of silk material seems to have been prac- ticed as long ago as the fifth cen- tury. BC. Its techniques were kept a close secret. It was for- bidden to take worms out of the country. Nevertheless the know- ledge and materials slowly leaked out and spread to Japan. Korea. India and Persia and eventually into Greece and Europe. The commerce in silk had a tremen- dous influence on the enlarging and development of trade routes throughout Asia and Europe. Another useful insect which has made its mark on trade, in more recent years, is the coch- ineal or mealy bug of Mexico. The cochineal lives on the cactus and Spain made several attempts to introduce the cactus to their country but eventually were more successful in getting the plant to grow in the Canary Islands and Algiers. These insects were once cultured on a large scale for the production of carmine dyes and their variants. The dye is produc- ed by grinding up the female of the species just prior to the egg- laying stage. Aniline dyes have now largely superseded cochineal dyes. - Dr. lde. mentioned briefly the Lac beetle (Tacharius Iactal of India which was formerly used extensively and even yet is used for the manufacture of shell-lac and varnish. The honey bee which produces such a large quantity of commercial honey and maggots which are used in many medi- cines. seamessengers'e'era’erere'ersa:registers'a’ezs’aaeceeeiememimxmxun gr ii ‘34 . . . a g Upon presentation of this ad 5 with the purchase Of any skirt g b” r i- g; from $7.90 to $19.90 a 24’ ii at . . . a t You Will receive your chOIce of a g P.” . . matching or contrasting belt free . . .. g u 3 Se?
