There are reasons for that.

As I said before. why do we have to take the blame? We could tell you right now what is best for the township.” Calls of “What, What.” were then heard and the reeve continued. “Do you know how limited our pow- er is?” Mrs. J. R. Hubbard. who lives in the southern section of the township, rose to say, “I am not sure our ratepayers (Markham- Vaughan United Ratepayers) would condone this northern route, I ask for Council to de- fer action until Mr. Elvidge and I take a report back to our rate- payers' group.” Mr. Svenningson then asked if Council would speak to the ques- tim ‘tonight,’ or failing that if they would set a date “when we might have your decision.” Cries of “We want some action," came from the ratepayers and Mr. Svenningson continued, “It is something that should not hold fire â€" it should be answered im- mediately and then we would know the declsion of our elected representatives." The reeve then asked for fur- ther opinions from the floor, and a ratepayer asked, “Are you going to stand behind our chairman?” Henry Nordin of the Concord Ratepayers who was present said. “We are affected by the original line â€" and we are even more strongly opposed to the second line. We are supporting your stand here tonight." serious mistake to permit the railway to change their plans and to let that many trains a .day run over level crossings." A ratepayer in the back of the hall asked, “How many trains would be using the line a day?” At Councillor Anstey’s reply of “50,” gasps were heard all over the hall. Mr. Svenningson spoke out, "All crossings on the original plan go over or under Yonge Street." Oppose Northern Route (Continued from page 1) PHIL. EARTH ‘MIHEIEIWâ€"mfilll TUrnor 4-44] I The motion was proposed by Building Committee members, Trustee Harold Sanderson and Trustee Cecil Williams following a discussion of the sketch plans for the addition presented by Mr. B. Douglas during Thursday’s regular biâ€"monthly meeting of the board. Richmond Hill Public School Board Thursday evening approv- ed signing a contract for the three classroom addition at Me- Conaghy Public School with the architectural firm, Noble and Douglas. According to the sketch plans, three 24’x31’6" classrooms will be added at the front of the present structure. The new construction will only come up to the windows of the present first storey and so will not interfere with the light- ing of the older part. There won’t be a front entrance, but two side entrances. The existing hot water system was said to be adequate to look after this addition. There will be double glazing of the windows to keep down traffic noises but some‘ members of the board objected to any plan to permanently seal the wind0w§. Mr. Svenningson then thank d council “on behalf of the rate- payers.” saying, “I think Council has treated us very fairly tonight and we will go home feeling much better." Reeve Ferry to Clerk‘James McDonald, “The ratepayers' groups in the southern part of Vaughan Township, and Mark- ham Township Council should be advised by letter of Vaughan’s resolution." Ed Plans Addition To McConaghy School Mr. Svenningson then asked Councillor Anstey to propose a motion to council re. accepting the southern route, but before this action was taken Councillor Bruce Ralph said, “Speaking strictly from the township aspect â€" as far as Vaughan is concern- ed â€" there would be a greater number of homes affected in the northern route, than the south." Councillor JeSSe Bryson was invited by the reeve to make an official statement and Mr. Bryson rel lied. “First of all I am surprised to know the C.N.R. is surveying in that area (north). The southern route looks the most sensible if it is to go into Vaughan Township." Reeve Perry then called for a vote on the Deputy-reeve’s mo- tion which was carried unaniâ€" mously by all council members, after which the reeve declared, “We will go on record in writing to this effect." Reeve Perry then asked Dep- uty-reeve Vic Ryder to speak to the question and Mr. Ryder said to the delegates, “I will propose the motion as put forward by your Chairman.” below the surface. (2) Plans have already been made at Loblaw’s (Finch Ave.) to have a parking lot built over the underpass (3) A proposed subdivision 2.000 feet north of where the route is to be incut has already been proposed by a subdivider." “I think this Council should go on record as to being opposed to the northern route.” Councillor Ralph declared. Councillor Anstey then declar- ed, “I am quite ready to support the motion â€"â€" that if the railway has to come into Vaughan Town- ship â€" I personally feel the most logical route is the one proposed by the C.N.R."

He wanted to purchase 10 feet from the school property as he has only four feet between his house and the site. Trustee Williams believed the “plans are very good" and advo- cated “going ahead with them and let-ting the inspector check them.” Chairman L. D. Clement re- c a l l e d' “Vaughan Township (where the land in question is lo- cated) stipulated this property would be used only for school property.” A After a brief discussion Trus-.I tee Mrs. Virginia Sully moved' the secretary write Vaughan Township asking if the school board could sell 10 feet if it so decided, and added the query on Trustee Sanderson’s suggestion, if the board would have to pay the subdividing fees.

He told us then of the charm- ing old-days: the sleighing par- ties â€"â€" when he waited at the school for “his children" to come in with sparking eyes and windâ€" nipped rosy cheeks for hot coffee and “eats”: he reminisced about the stage plays they put on, “The Bishop's Candlesticks", “Quality Street" and “Twelfth Night” in those nostalgic days. “There was no stage, such as we have today,” Harry said. “I built the stage with my two hands. with lots of willing helpers among the stu- dents.” As we sat in the quiet garden, with its well-kept flower beds, its clipped and trimmed box hedges and evergreens, we were pleased to hear Mr. and Mrs. Stanford tell of the trip they plan to make this summer to England. and to hear Harry Stanford say. of his retirement, “I’m quitting while I'm still ahead. I feel that it's time to take things easier. It's been a wonderful life, and I've enjoyed it, for l have always been with the young people and they have kept me young.
