Councillor Joseph Paterson commented that the job facing our Works and Roads Committee is a heavy one. Read Conditions This Spring May Present Problem At Monday night's Richmond Hill council meeting Mayor Ken W. Tomlin warned that we may expect very serious road condi- tions this spring and he urged citizens to bear in mind the un- controllable hazards and use the highways with care and caution. The heavy winter snowfall has meant a severe load on munic- ipal snow and road-clearing bud- gets throughout the district. The spring thaw which should be coming any time now also has serious threats in possible flood- ing and road break-ups. Town and Township authorities are making plans to cope with what may be the worst spring break-up in many years. Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night approved a report of the Parks Committee presented by Chairman Councillor W. J. Bradstock providing for provision of playing areas and development and improvement of parkettes. Bad Break-up Anticipated Chairman of the Richmond Hill Works Committee has had a busy winter fighting snow and ice. Im- pending floods present additional problems and there are prospects of road hazards in the spring breakâ€"up. The Barks Committee met re- cently with the Public School Board and arranged that the Town be given the use of all school grounds except between the hours of 8 am. and 6 pm. on school days. The grounds will be used for public playgrounds and plans are under way for equipment and supervision. Any grading or equipment installation will be subject to school board approval. Program Fer in Ruchman The report recommended that all parkettes and recreational areas be graded and sodded this year and with the co-operation of the Recreation Committee a start made on providing playground equipment. Some tree planting was also recommended and en- dorsed. Park Improvemfi tive site. He stated he was unable to give particulars at the moment but thought by week end he could Extensive improvements are planned for the arena and the Committee will meet soon with the Agricultural Society to go over planned alterations and ex- tensions. New Development Council approved an agreement with George Chassie for the de- velopment of a 12 home sub- division north of Rumble Avenue. The agreement provides the sub- divider will construct roads and services and pay the municipality $6.30 per lot. School Site Council may buy new land for a site for the School for Retarded Children. Last year council donat~ ed a site. located in the green belt on the north side of Centre Street East and owned by the town. Mr. Deacon and Mr. Stewâ€" art representing the Retarded Children's Association attended council meeting Monday to ar- range for acquiring a deed to .he property so construction can start as soon as possible. A Mr. Deacon stated that the As- sociation hoped soon to have $45.- 000.00 of its 560.000.00 objective. He stated the site on Centre St. East was completely acceptable to the Association. Councillor Bradstock said there were objections to using the green belt as a school site and said he had in mind an alterna- Councillor Haggart suggested DEPUTY-REEVE TINKER the erection of signs warning of road conditions. Councillor Paterson, “If we get a sudden thaw we will be in deep trouble if our ditches are not kept open.” hDeputy-reeve Tinker â€" "We are busy now with de-icing oper- ations.” The many miles of new road- way added has placed additional burdens on the roads department but works commissioner Whalen and members of council made it clear Monday night that every effort is beingimade to prepare for the expected floods and bro- ken roads. Mayor Tomlin emphasized that the broken roads which appear to 'be inevitable this spring are be- yond the control of council and‘ will be the natural result of an unusual season. He said council and officials will do all possible Deputyâ€"reeve Tinker, Roads Committee chairman. outlined plans and activities of his depart- ment. “Let nobody get the idea we have been sitting down doing nothing.” he said. He said the town has purchased a new steam- er for opening ditches, and addi- tional equipment has been rented and has been in use or will be standing by for emergency use. Standby fee of $8.00 per day will l . paid on a steamer which when in operation costs $9.00 per hour‘ to remedy conditions as quickly as possible but he hoped citizens would be understanding and co- operative. “Because the speed limit is 30 miles an hour doesn’t mean we should drive that fast under all conditions." he said. Councillor R. P. Ross said tests made had shown frost in roads to a depth of four feet. _ Maydr Tomlin said that even new pavements are breaking up this year. Councillor Bradstock said con- ditions emphasized the need for a well improved 'east-west road through Richmond Hill. Prospects are that the coming spring will be a difficult and trying one for the works depart- ment. . Councillor Paterson said he had many compliments for the roads department for‘ their efficient handling of the snow and ice con- ha. 9 full information ditions Vthis winter‘ In answer to Reeve Perkins he said the site he had in mind would have to be purchased by the town. “We already own the Centre Street site," said Reeve Perkins. ‘ Councillor Haggart â€"â€" “We would have to know the cost of the new proposed site.” Councillor Bradstock said the lot he had in mind was 100 by 350 ft. and he would get the details this week and meet with the school committee. Mayor Tomlin’ paid sincere tri- bute to the public service rend- ered by the late A. R. Michell and expressed regret on his sudden passing. Mr. Deacon added his tribute and stated that the Assocâ€" iation for Retarded Children owed a great deal to Mr. Michell’s leadership. Debentures On motion of Councillors Hag- gart and Paterson council accept- ed the recommendation of town fiscal agents J. L. Graham & Co. and will sell $165.000 debentures. The price realized is the same as last fall. the 20-year debentures bear interest at five and three- quarters per cent and the selling price was $99.39. Council memâ€" bers expressed satisfaction with the price realized. Attend Convention , Council authorized expenses up to $250. for Building Inspector J. Hollowell to attend a Building Inspector's convention Vancouv- er. Markham Road Councillor Haggart complaining of the ‘condition of Markham Road called it a “glorified wreck- ing yard.” Reeve Perkins said County Roa‘ls Commission are grading the road this week and some sand and gravel had been placed on the Worst spots. , J run.-- -__ .._- Councillor PéféfsoAn expressed concern that the County plans for improvement ql‘ the yoaclgqvalved sumed by ‘the County. I don't think it was understood Richmond Hill was going to have to pay any such amount.” he said. Councilâ€" lor Paterson suggested that in any pl .ns for the future thought be given for the need of sidewalks. Mayor Tomlin stated that coun- cil likely would have to seriously consider demands for rezoning of sections of Markham Road as a large expenditure by Richmond Hill. He mentioned a figure of $150000. “When Reeve Taylor worked hard to have this road as- sumed by ‘the County, I don‘t tilinl: it was understood Richmond Hill was going to have to pay any sections 9f Mar cc mmerclal areas GOLDEN LION NUMBERS $60 A Wedding trip to Florida fol- lowed the marriage of Margaret Isabel Beatty, daughter of Mrs. and the late George Beatty. of Richmond Hill, to Ross Albert White, son of Mr. and Mrs. George White.

The quarry will have two ce- ment block buildings and will cover 10 acres of land. Permit For A Dump . 11,. 13 :unu Av: .- -___., Mr. Henderson and Mr. B. Scharf of the Norlock Develop- ment sought permission to oper- ate the dump formerly owned by a Mr. Topper, which has been used by Woodbridge for some years.

Thomas White attended his brother as groomsman. and the ushers were George Beatty and Ted White. Reeve Perry said he was on Woodbridge council when the same dump was a problem. Coun- cillor Anstey said, “I certainly think that an agreement at this time would help in cleaning up the situation." Mr. Henderson agreed that they would meet council's requirements. Over one hundred guests at- tended the reception held in the Christian Education Centre. fol- lowin‘g the service. The happy couple are now residing in Rich‘ mond Hill after a lovely trip to Florida. “Might I ask you this, are you willing to put up $1.000?” When Mr. Henderson agreed, the reeve said he would review the agree- ment and the clerk would advise Norlock‘s of council‘s decision. High School Site Trustee Stewart Rumble, chair- man of the building committee for York Central District High School Board, accompanied by business administrator J. Ash; worth had a most amiable inter- view with council and received the go-ahead on the Bayview and Markham site for which the board has a one-year option. Mr". Rumble told council the three present high schools would reach their capacity by the end of 1960 and that by the fall term of 1961 the new high school should be built and ready to take the child~ ren in that section of the high school district. Mr. Rumble then advised coun‘ cil that owing to a $30000 short- age incurred when debentures were sold for the Woodbridge school and the addition to Rich- mond Hill High School the board was asking for $80,000 to cover the $50000 for the school site and to finish up Woodbridge School. Reeve Perry said. “Carry on, we'll pay Vaughan’s share of the bills for schools." Mr. Ashworth told the council members. "This is unique. to hear council say you are 100 per cent behind a board to pay the bills." Field Day Account Council approved a grant of $50.00 to the School Athletic Commission for the annual field day held in Maple each summer. Numbering System Reeve Perry said. “If Stewart Rumble is looking after this prop- erty I think we’ll get a good deal. This council approves of this pur- chase.” On a request of Clerk J. Mc- Donald‘s that Langstaff residents be queried regarding the new numbering system, Reeve Perry said emphatically. “I Am not going to play around with the numbering system. We put on a numbering system for the lst concession of Vaughan and that‘s going to be it. Whether they like it or not. In my inaugural speech I made the promise this would be done and .people have to abide by it." When the reeve said. “no street is to be immune,” Council- lor Ralph said, “I go along with that." and Councillor Anstey said he didn't think one street should be different from another. Thornhill Water Reporting on the ratepayers' meeting held in Thornhill last week. Councillor Anstey said 200 people attended and certainly in- dicated they wanted the water put into that area as soon as it could be done. “I feel we should gc on with the construction by- law and record that it has been approved." Councillor Ralph made a motion to this effect which was seconded by Councillor Anstey and passed by council.
