School Board To Favor Local Bids â€"‘ Ladies Object Prominent on Thursday night's agenda at the Richmond Hill Pubâ€" lic School Board meeting was the decision regarding the policy of the board in awarding tenders. Building Committee chairman, Trustee Harold Sanderson, sec- onded by the other member of the committee, Trustee Cecil Williams. moved that the board give additional consideration to local merchants in tenders if their price doesn't exceed by five per cent the other low tenders. In opening the discussion of the motion, Trustee Joseph Rab- inowitch "said, “Everything else being equal, we should favor loc- al merchants if their tender does not exceed other bids by 5 per cent." Chairman L. D. Clement inter- preted the motion to mean, “all things being equal the lowest bid would get the business. If local services are worth more. then we give the local merchant special consideration. Trustee Mrs. Margaret South- well argued, “We should consid- er all the taxpayers and not mere- ly one local merchant." Trustee Rabinowitch believed special consideration should be given to local merchants as resi- dents of Richmond Hill. “If you deal with local mer- chants you should get better ser- vice,” rejoined Chairman Cle- ment. “Not because they are taxpay- ers then?” questioned Trustee Rabinowitch. The motion was then put to a vote. Trustees Sanderson, Will- iams, and Rabinowitch voted in favor, Trustee Mrs. Southwell and Trustee Mrs. Virginia Sully voted against. Mrs. Southwell requested the dissent be recorded. Insurance Split It was learned the following insurance agents pay a local bus- iness tax: J. Herrington, P. Sav- age, H. Butt, N. Glass, J. Grain- ger, and L. F. Job. As the Her- rington agency has the insurance coverage for the board. it takes the first 10 per cent of the agents’ commission. the 90 per cent is shared by all the agents, includ- ing Mr. Herrington. 'Trustee MrsfSouthwell moved that the Herrington Insurance Agency be authorized to split the 22 Highland Park Blvd., Phone AVenue 5-2795 The recent polio drive through the Highland Park area took in $269, which is $40 up on last year's givings.

Safety Contest / The contest must be completed by the end of this month and will be judged the first week in March. The essay of 150 words or less is to be comn-osed during the school session. With the approval of the board, local principals are plan- ning to have their students parti- cip‘ate. Planning Committee Reports _ Richmond Hill and Vaughan Police Associations are sponsor- ing an essay contest on Safety for grades four to eight in schools in their communities. Trustee Rabinowitch, head of the Planning Committee gave a report which he stated was prin- cipally for budget purposes, an attempt to estimate the expected increased enrollment for the com- ing year. It emphasized the growth west of the C‘.N.R. tracks, which is liable to necessitate the building of another school in the not too distant future. The schools concerned with anticipated over- crowding are McConaghy and MacKillop. It was suggested a survey would be required to ascertain the age distribution of children west of the tracks. Supervising Principal 1). Rose estimated 20 new teach- ers should be hired and felt two more portables should be budget- ted for this year. Supervising Principal Rose was given permission to spend up to $50.00 to purchase a banner ad- vertising Education Week, to be displayed across Yonge Street, and Trustee Mrs. Sully asked that an invitation be sent each mem- ber of council to visit the school during Education Week. During his report. Mr. Rose also asked the building commit- tee to consider meeting with the principals of each school at dif- ferent times to discuss what re- pairs, etc., they required. Personnel Committee Objects Trustees Mrs. Southwell and Mrs. Sully voiced their objections to the building committee (Trus- tees Sanderson and Williams) touring a school to pinpoint need- ed alterations and repairs with- out asking the principal of the school to accompany them. Both felt it would make for better re- lations between board and staff to do this. Hire Crapenter Following a recommendation from the building committee, Trustee Williams moved a full- time carpenter be hired with con- sideration being given to the present stafl’. With Trustee Mrs. Sully seconding the motion, it was agreed upon. Trustee Williams reported it would cost approximately $2,500. per room to renovate the six old- er classrooms in McConaghy School. Trustee Williams also pointed out the Department of Highways states a school can't be built clos- er than 150 feet to the highway and three more rooms couldn‘t be added to McConaghy without the Department's permissioh. Chairman Clement felt, "We had better find out what they are going to do in the south-east cor- ner (Markham) before we will know what to do here at Me- Conaghy School." Trustee Rgbinowitch advised contacting Markham Township to find out if it is contemplating al- lowing residences south of Har- ding Ave. A portion of Markham township residences in this area are in Richmond Hill Union School Section. Trustee Mrs. Southwell advo- cated going to town council also to find out what plans they had for this section. Trustee Sanderson agreed the task of the school board would be lessened If the local Planning Committee would reveal to the board plans for the area west of the C.N.R. tracks. q: nmmunummumuuunmn““munlmmmuummxm11Inumummlmnuummmummmmmmu E-\mmu\munuumnmmunnummuuum1n\\\l\1\\\\mmnmmmuuu1mmmuuumuumm\mmulunmummm“uuuumuummmmw' lOOK “w ,__7, mummmmunmmm“mumtmunummmm1l\lunuuuu\1l1\\\\ulmummmmuunuuuuuuunlnmunmm\\m\u\m\\u\mmn\mmm Now is the time... o to have your fruit trees pruned - to have dead and Dutch Elm diseased elm trees removed All types of tree work - Custom chain sawing Free estimates mnmmmmmmmuu " TO ORDER ONE DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME, OR FOR FULL INFORMATION OR WRITE c & J DISTRIBUTORS, 8 ADRIAN AVE, TORONTO 9, ONT.
