Cundy owner of the Richmond 'Hill Ambul- ance Service appeared before Markham Township Council Monday to ascertain if Mark- ham would be willing to share in a joint subsidy in order to keep the service op- crating. Earlier Mr. Cundy informed Richmond Hill Council that he would be un- able to carry on after July 15th. Town council asked Mr. Cundy‘for a proposal for a subsidized service for presen- tation to Markham, Vaughan and Richmond Hill. Mr. 'Cu-ndy estimated it would cost $2,400.00 annually to operate a subsidized ser- vice. Approximately one eighth of his calls come from Markham‘ Township. Mark- ham's annual share would be $300.00,- Councillor L. Mumberson thought““ council sshould - give the matter serious con- sideration. He felt a munici- I pality the size of Markham should have an ambulance service available for emer- gencies. Duputy-reeve W. Dean wondered if the people in the south-west corner of the township didn’t rely more on the Willowdale ambulance than they did on Richmond Hill. . Council will discuss the matter with the newly organ- ized joint committee for Markham, Vaughan and Richâ€" mond Hill, before making a decision on the request. Discuss Water Bailey Scho’ol Maple Public School Trustees will meet with a committee of Vaughan Township Council (Councillors Bruce Ralph and E. W. Anstey‘t this week to discuss water service for the George Bailey School.

Sr. Schools Composite schools versus grades 6, 7 and 8 only senior schools occupied some of last Thursday evening’s discus- smn at the Richmond Hill Public School Board’s regular bi-monthly meeting. Chairman L. D. Clement. who has served on the board’s planning committee for some years, said, “The town has grown so much in the western part since we last considered senior schools that we need a new set of fig- ures.” He pointed out the Crosby school on the eastern s1de of town had been planned with the probability of makâ€" ‘ ‘ ll€\\' ing it a senior school someday in mind. It has four largeâ€"sized class- rooms that could be converted into science, art, home economics and shop classrooms. It is also in a central location with elementary schools on either end, Beverley Acres and Walter Scott Schools. Trustee Cecil Williams pointed out some Toronto schools were “composite”, that is two different programs are offered under one roof. Trustee H. Sanderson commenâ€" ted that some of the local schools already have the 6, 7, 8 grades in one location in their schools for a more specialized program. Chairman Clement believed it would take. “sometime to have the staff to run senior schools. The teachers need special tech-I uiques, skills, and imagination for senior schools.” He felt the senior grades were now “dead grades" without the curriculum that could be added with a senior school program. Trustee Mrs. V Sully <aid if the board decided lo haie senior schools, she would like to see the ' inspcclor for the puhllcl schools asked to prepare his rec- ommendations by a set dale. Chairman Clement pointed out a new school had to be built at Pleasantville. Mrs. Sully said while she be- llieved a better program was pos- sible when all the children in a certain area were put together in one school, she felt a composite school should be considered at the Pleasantville site. Take what you've got now and do what you- can with it." added Mrs. Sully. ' Develop Rest of Land Chairman Clement and Trus- lee Mrs. Southwell both comment- ed that a composite school might be best at this time at Pleasant- ville. Trustee J. Rabinowltch had previously said from the stand- point of planning. "Until ihe rest of the land is developed. we can‘t have a senior school." in this part of town. [i was estimated 215 children on the west side would be in grades 6, '7 and 8 this com- ing fall. In all this would be only eight classrooms and all the pub- lic schools are larger than this. Building Com. Recommendations The board agreed on l‘ruslee‘ Sanderson's recommendation to have Mr. L. H. Sims servioe the typewriters in the whools quarâ€"i terly at a cost of 810.86 tor eachl typewriter per year. Two power scrubber umchines at a cost 01' $250.75 each will be purchased, cost of them was inâ€" at a cost of $28.00 each. 0n a1 9 query from Trustee Mrs. Sully as to whether prices had been in- vestigated before recommenda- tion of these racks, Mr. Sander- son said the matter had been in- vestigated and these were in his opinion the best buy and didn’t require the upkeep wooden racks would. The board agreed to pur- chase them. DepuIyâ€"reeie Victor Ryder presided over a short 5%sion of Vaughan Township Council Mon- day evening in the absence of Reeve John Perry. The council meeting was preceded by Court of Revi<lon and Planning Board martin-6.x {\lr. NerIee‘s plans for road. 1.400 through a small subdivision in the Pine Grove area were re-ap- proved on motion of Councillors E. W. Anstey and Bruce Ralph. Originally the approved plans showed an unpaved road, this year's specifications call for pav- ed roads in new subdivisions. Due to a misfortune. Mr. hlc-Afee was unable to proceed with his apâ€" proved plans last year. so coun- cil re-approved them so he can fulfill them this year. C.N.R.

The joint committee was set up on recommendation of Richmond Hill to coâ€"op- crate on matters common to the three municipalities. 11 is hoped this committee will prove at least a partial an- swer to threats by Metro Chairman Fred Gardiner to annex the fringe municipal- ities. Markham has named Reeve W. L. Clark and Coun- cillor 3. MacNeil as its two representatives on the com- mittee. In moving Mr_ Mac- Nell's appointment CounciL lor L. Mumberson felt “as water will be one of the main issues”, the chairman of the water committee would be an ideal appointment. Mr. Mumberson also sugâ€" gested as a means of effect- ing greater coâ€"operation am- ong the‘three municipalities that they consider exchangâ€" ing minutes of their meetings with each other.

Morrow said, “If a youngster has failed twice in grade 9, I don’t think it’s going to do him a bit of good to repeat a third time. Perhaps he should be attending a different type of school, such as a ‘ technical schoo ." Mr. Axelson said he thought it was ridiculous for a student to clutter up the classroom for a third year to which Trustee L. Wainwright replied. “I think we all agree to that but what about the taxpayers?" Mr. Axelson “I think they V‘ would have to realize as taxpayers it's costing more to run our our sophooln because of repeat- ers‘.’ . Trustee John Hull“l)r.i'g2i‘ smd “We are not running baby-sitting classes for students" Board Chairman Harry Sayers Reporting for the Planning Committee, of which he is chair- man, Stewart Rumble asked that the board approve the purchase of the proposed Bay/viewsite for a new high school. The purchase to be made by October 1, 1959. Trustee Endean asked if the Town of Richmond Hill had made arrangement regarding water. and sewage services to which Mr. Rumble replied "Yes'. Mr. Rum- ble then said, “We have approa- ched all councils (Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan Town- ships) regarding this site and We have received official approval of the site “from all the townships including Vaughan." He then read a letter received recently by the board signed by Assistant Clerk Ted Jackman‘of Vaughan Township asking that, "the board review the site again". Trustee Rumble said the com- mittee has reviewed the site again and it feels that this is thh belt offer they can hope to receive and that "we still think this is the best site for any high school in this district.” A new high school will he need- ed by the Fall of 1980. Busineli Administrator .1. D. Ashworth said, “We’ve almost got to have the school open by 'September 1960. He also predicted Thornhill High School would require as addition by 1961, Woodbridge by 1962 and, “it would almost seem as if we have to have a new high school or an addition every year to cope with the number of stud- said he thought the principal oerâ€",ents." tainly has the right to suspend; the student if he is not working. “The idea is to back the princi- pal up and give the parents the opportunity to appeal to the board if they so wish. This motion if passed would give the parents the right to appeal to the board.” , Trustee Wesley Middleton‘s re- ‘mark, “I guess things have chan- ged since I was a boy." relieved the atmosphere, and Trustee John Howes said, “In supporting the fact that we spend many~ nights racking our brains how we will house students â€" should we not help the situation by eliminaling those who are undesirable?" Trustee John Wilson: “The par- ents have the right to appeal and certainly some arrangement can be made.” Trustee Mg. Kinuec. “l vouch -like to see the motion x'ollmn'ed up.” ' Al the present time the law says, “if the principal is, satisfied the student is qualified he may go on to a higher grade.’ But as Mr. Morrow pointed out. 7he student is already in the grade â€" from which he has failed to pass â€" and what can be done with him. other than pass a res- olution that he be struck oil the rolls. ’ The board will seek guidance from the Department o1 Educa- tion on it's motion which carried ,v.itl1 the exception of a negaliic lvote from Trustee Bob Endean. lGi The board was unanimous in voting that the Planning Commit- . tee proceed to purchase the Bay- view site by October 1, 1959. Un- animous approval was then giv- en to Mr. Rumble’s request far the committee to have permission to recommend an architect. Finance Report ,The Richmond Hill and Thom- hill High School cafeterias are showing a slight profit so far this year. Woodbridge has a deficit but the board felt that was un- derstandable because it is a new set-up and it will balance itself evéntuaily. Asked by a board member how township payments are coming along, Mrs. J. McAlister, secret- ary of the board said. “Richmond Hill and Markham have paid ovâ€" er .3“th to us, but we haven’t re- ceived Vaughan‘s allotment. It would cut down our borrowing if we did. but I believe Vaughan is waiting for its tax returns be- fore sending us our allotment." Coal Tenders As recommended by the prop- erty committee. the tender sub- mitted by the Wm. McGlll Coal Co. to supply coal for the Rich- mond Hill High School at $13.75 per: tonhas been accepted, Chair- man of the-committee, Mr. John Hone: said the contract included the phrase “subject to satisfac- lory supply."
