The salary of Reeve John Perry has been raised from $3,000. to $4,000.00 per year. The pay of the deputy-reeve and three councillors has been increas- ed from $16.00 a meeting to $30.00 a meeting.

The assistants en- gaged are mostly high school stu- dents from 15 toJ “years ohag .. An effort will be made tu" reéru t Reeve F. R Perkins, presiding at council meeting in the absence of Mayor Tomlin, and all mem- bers present agreed with the Rec- reation Committee members that the playground program must not be allowed to fail, and unanimous. 1y voted an additional $2000. to the committee. When the 1959 tax rate has struck Town Coun- cil pared the Recreation Commit- tee budget. The additional $2,000 will en- able the Committee to pay addi- tional supervisors and purchase more equipment. The original plan called for a two hour period morning and afternoon. The large registration necessitated a change in plans and now the younger children will be taken in the mor- ning and the older ones in the afternoon. 3 New Service Stations Approved 'ln Vaughan Councillor Bruce Ralph, secon- ded by Councillor Jesse Bryson moved that the freezing by-law in the vicinity of Highway 400. north of Steeles be amended for the operation of a golf driving range, requested by a Mr. Walker through his solicitor Mr. Hastings. Mr. Walker told council he wan- ted to lease the land for five years â€"- or until it was needed for in- dustrial purposes â€" and that he would erect only temporary build- ings in the meantime. The land is presently a used car lot opero ated by Hillcrest Motors. New Service Stations Mrs. Malcolm Thomson and Mr. William Ruttl-e appeared be- fore mwn council Monday night asking help and additional finan- ces. “Were here to ask advice and assistance," said Mrs. Thom- son, “we're so overwhelmed. The response has been over-power- ing.” V More than 1500 children be- t een the ages of five and ten have registered for Richmond Hill's first supervised playground program planned for the period July 6th to August 7th. This is one thousand more than antici- pated when the Recreation Com- mittee, Sponsors of the program, adopted their budget.

Photo Survey Clerk J. McDonald informed council that approval had been received from Toronto Township regarding the township school area plan. Council agreed to the mapping of‘the zone near the planned C.N.R. marshalling yard, now frozen by a by-law for industrial purposes. The. mapping will be done through a photographic sur- vey. Cost will be between $800 and $4,000. depending on the area covered. Approve School Area William Ball, aged 17 of Hunt Moore.

Mrs. Thomson suggested the need for some civic committee to lirect the program and there were suggestions ofi the need for a paid recreation (lit-hater. The salary for such an official was mention- ed as $6,000 a year. There was a suggestion a mem» bership fee of $1.00 might be charged. but this did not meet with the support of the Recreat~ Ion Committee. The possibility that school washrooms and storage space might not be available brought strong criticism from Councillor Paterson. “Sixty per cent of our taxes go for education, yet we can’t use the schools for any- thing,” 'said Councilldr Paterson. “I'd like to know why not?” Committee members assured council the local school board had been very eta-operative. and it was hoped when the situation is ex- plained the school facilities may be availabfl. ‘ Council unanimously voted the additional $2000 to take care of the playground program and the committee with council members will meet in the Municipal Build- ing Thursday night to discuss fur- ther plans. The urgent need is for supervisory help. Anyone willing to ssist is invited to get in touch with the supervisor in the playgrounds in the different areas. Only two submissions for a ten- der to purchase and to provide sand for township purposes were received for the sand pit at the dump. Carter Construction of Leaside agreed to keep duplicate bills of sale to be shown to the township on demand; to deposit $1,000 with the township before beginning operations; to supply the township with 20,000 tons of sand per year and to pay the township fifteen cents on every ton removed from the pit. Deputy- reeve Vic Ryder, who chaired the meeting in the absence of the reeve, said. “This pit is now a going concern, instead of losing money.” Formerly sand was re- n Ved without any payment to the township. It was poinbed out that the sum- mer program is not in' any sense a day camp nor a baby sitting ser- vice but is a real effort to pro- vide something to do {91- children o.‘ the commdnity under proper supervision.

The pool requires between 35 to 40 gallons of water a minute. Councillor Ralph told council. A meeting is planned with township engineer Keith Hopper. before finalizing plans. On Sunday last, 30,000 people visited the pool, 5.000 were turned away. . A request by the owners of the 400 Drive-in Theatre to erect a temporary building for a Jewish suxqmer school, was shelved for the present at least, by council.

Parking Council will ask for a valuaâ€" tion of a strip of land needed to complete lane on “est side of Yonge St. The owner is asking $3,000. School Addition Council referred to the solici- tor a proposed lease of a looâ€"foot lot at the rear of a service sta- tion at Richmond and Yonge Sts. for off-street parking. The pro- posed -rental is $75. monthly for ten years. Reeve Perkins, Parking Committee chairman stated it‘ is planned to install meters with two hour parking. It will provide room for 50 cars. The reeve reported progress on plans fora rear lane to serve‘bus- iness places on the east and west sides of Yonge Street. A building is planned for the lot on Lorne Avenue at the rear of the Bank of Nova Sootia. Council will re- quest land for widening Lorne Ave., and a right-ofâ€"way for a rear lane. Richmond Hill Public School Board was granted permission for the new addition to the McCon- aglxy school on Yonge Street. The new structure will be within 19 feet of the lot line, while regula- tions require a 25 foot clearance. Building inspector J. Hollowell stated the new addition will be within 14 feet of the Cenotaph.

Three tenders were re- ceived from local dealers and ranged from $4100. to $4200. Reeve Perkins said the tenders were so close the business shoqu be divided. “They are all taxpay' ers." he said. A motion by Councillor J. W. Bradstock that one truck be pur- chased from each of the two low- est bidders failed to carry. "This Town. Council Meeting Mr. Clark stated the plan- ning board had told her she could either sell one small parcel (125 feet by 146 feet) or a large L shaped parcel. She decided to sell the small parcel. The individual pur~ chasing the lot had built a house on one side of the lot. but had not as reported sold the remaining part of the lot. Once a roadlis built through her L shaped parcel another four lots will be opened up for development, concluded the reeve. “No Markham by-law has been contravened." conclud- ed Mr. Clark. At Mondays meeting of Markham Township Council Reeve W. L. Clark denied earlier charges by Mr. Cecil Russell. Doncaster, that plan- ning board had treated a Doncaster widow unfairly in the division of her land. Mr. Russell had contended the planning board refused the widow permission to divide her property in the way she wished, while granting a neighbour a similar request. Richmond Hill Town Coun- cil Monday night unanimous~ 1y adopted a motion by Coun- cillor J. W. Bradstock and Mr. MacLax-en gave freely of his time and effort in giv- ing leadership to the move- ment to provide adequate library accommodation in the community and council mem- bers thought his outstand- ing service should be recog- nized. ‘It will be a tribute to 'all‘who have served on our Library Board," said Coun- cillor Haggard.

Perkins, chairman of the special committee investiâ€" gating the engineering on Cros- by Avenue and Beverley Acres may not report for another two or three weeks. At Monday night’s town coun- cil meeting ‘it was intimated the delay in the probe report is hold- ing up needed town projects. In some undertakings, preliminary plans need an engineer and coun- cilr is reluctant to make the ap- pointments under present condi- tions. .On motion of Deputy-reeves Tinker and Councillor Ross, _coun- cil appointed Proctor & Redfern to do necessary engineering work for the development of the new town well. Councillor Haggart opposed the motion. Following complaints from Mr. H. Kennedy about unauthorized dumping in the property they rent from Mr. Kennedy, Mark- ham Township Council Monday instructed its Plumbing and Sani- tation Committee ’(Cllairman Councillor J. MacNeil) to make further efforts to meet Mr. Ken- nedy. In his letter to council Mr. Kennedy said he will close the dump on June 30th if council has no plan to stop unauthorized dumping on the Weekends. Durâ€" ing the busy weekends people are t'inoring the young attendant and dumping refuse not covered in the agreement. Favorlng the appointment of Proctor 8a Redfe'm' for at least some of these projects, Reeve Perkins said, “we can't change horses in mid-stream". Councillor Haggart said that “mid-stream or anywhere else. it doesn‘t make sense to appoint engineers who are now under in~ vestigation". - - Reeve Perkins presided at the meeting in the absence of Mayor Tomlim who is on holidays, and all the other members were in attendance. Cou ncil May Supervise Dump Councillor MacNeil reported his committee has made repeated ef- forts to arrange a meeting with Mr. Kennedy since the first of the year. The present agreement between Mr.- Kennedy and the township expired last December 3151:. “Unauthorized dumping is his problem not ours," contended Councillor L. Mumberson. As a compromise Reeve W. L. Clark suggested council might “I can see no reason why Metro should stall us any longer onvthe matter of sew- age," remarked Reeve Clark. The reeve said if Metro isn't prepared to allow Markham to connect into its trunk sew« ers. then they will have to seek provincial approval to bulk! their own sewage dis- posal plant. Mr. Clark said such plants are quite ade- quate if they are taken care of properly, and not over- loaded. He referred to the recent opening by the Water Resources Commission of one such plant at Streetsvllle. “Metro assured us -three years ago their trunks would have sufficient capacity to handle both ours and Vaughan’s sewage, now they say they’re not sure of the capacity," emphasized Reeve Clark. "What they really mean I: they don’t want any development.” remarked Mr. Clark. Reeve W. L. Clark suggest- ed to Markham Township Council Monday they may have to appeal to‘ the Munic- ipal Board and the Ontario Water Resources Commission in order to finally secure ap- proval for any future (level. opment in the township. Reeve Clark was referring to last week‘s third consecutive refusal by Metro Planning Board to permit development of four residential subdivis- ions in the south-west corner of the township.

Metro Using Communist Tactics-Reeve Armstrong Reeve Fred Armstrong of Woodbridge, and former Warden of York County, lashed out at a' rumoured move by Metropolitan Toronto “to annex fringe municipalities including Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan Tow-n- ailing,” whien York ounty Council held its final meeting of the June Session la Thursday night. “I feel that we here in the County of York and in all the communities surrounding Metro, are quite capable of running our own affairs". Reeve Armstrong said when:- ently. “They are telling the people â€" where they can go to live â€" they have said Woodbridge should only expand to a certain size. Right there you have Communist tactics,” the reeve declared. “for in Russia the people are told what; they can go to live.” ’ A unanimous standing vote was recorded following the motion of Reeve Clarence Davis of Aurora, seconded by Deputy- reeve Floyd Perkins of Richmond Hill that “no part of the County of York be annexed by Metropolitan Toronto.” pla Woodbridge’s proposal 1b an- nex 4,000 acres near Metronolitan Toronto's borders is being fought on three sides by Metro. Pine Grove and Vaughan Township. Metro chairman Fred Gardiner said, “This is only one example of the many rumblings we are hearing around our borders that We must watch very closely." stated Mr. Gardiner. Metro and Woodbridge are ar- guing the annexation before the Ontario Municipal Board. as we go to press. And Pine Grove is being represented at the Munici- pal 'hearings by Mr. David Lewis. the V Reevé Armstrong then asked the Province to amend Bill 80 and stated “they (Metro) should be. put into moth balls". ! . - A copy of the resolution is to be sent to Metro; A.
