Haggart Bids By proposed new bus agreement The present bus service Wants Private Line Operators “It is extremely important that we have an adequate transportation service on Yonge Street,” said Richmond czws Hill’s Mayor Ken W. Tomlin during a discussion of the with the T.T.C., at Richmond Hill Town Council meeting Monday night. The mayor ex- pressed the firm policy that any such service should have a fares structure which would make it self-supporting. on Yonge Street from Rich- mond Hill to the subway terminal in North Toronto is operated by the T.T.C. under an agreement with the Town of Richmond Hill and the Townships of Markham and Vaughan. The agreement expires December 31st of this year. Mayor Tomlin reported to council Monday night on a recent meeting with heads of neighbor- ing municipalities and the T.T.C. He reported the T.T.C. is willing to enter into an agreement for a continued bus service, at cost, and would submit a fares structure which the official thought should make the service self-supporting. Under the existing agreement the operation has been very pro- fitable for municipalities. In 1958 Richmond Hill. Markham and Vaughan shared some $50,000 in profits. The T. T. C. claim, and have figures to prove this surplus re- sulted from ‘business south of Steelels Avenue. .Officials claim the operation north of Steele’s la, and always has been a losing pro- position. The T. T. C. has made it clear that in any new agree- ment profit or deficit sharing will be based on the operation north of Steele's. According to the T.T.C. this would mean that unâ€" less there is an upward revision of fares there would be a substan- tial deficit. Council agreed unanimously to refer the matter to the recently organized Inter-Municipal Com- mittee representative of the three The committee I will hold its next regular meeting Wednesday September 9th. Richmond Hill’s representatives on the committee are Reeve F. R. Perkins and Councillor W. J. Haggart. Reeve Perkins expressed gener- al satisfaction with the T. T. C. operation of the bus line.” in the main I think they are giving us a pretty good service" said the Reeve. Councillor Haggart favored calâ€" ling for tenders for operation of a bus service. He pointed out that Richmond Hill next year will lose the $25,000. profit from. the line and in addition may face payment of a deficit “It’s my feelings we should call for tenders" said Courjllor Haggart, “it night he that we can get a better deal from someone else." He stressed that he felt strongly council should exhaust every avenue in an en- deavour to secure the best poss- ible service at the lowest possible cost. Town Solicitor J. D. Lucas who attended the meeting with T.T.C. officials reviewed the history of transportation on Yonge Street since the days of the old Metrop- olitan Electric Railway. When the old Metropolitan ceased operaâ€" tions assets were purchased by the municipalities who entered in- .. ALMA...“ Richmond Hill V.O.N. Drive For Funds Starts Sept. 15th Everyone Welcome '5 Nurse VISItor Many local Homes by Mona Robertson This year the ANNUAL CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS FOR THE RICHMOND HILL BRANCH of the VICTOR- IAN ORDER OF NURSES will be from SEPTEMBER 15 to 30. Richmond Hill is asked to give $6,000.00, all of which is used for the local V. O.N. Branch. During those two short weeks there will be an all-out blitz. with women canvassers making door-to-door calls and men volunteers canvassing stores and business and professional firms throughout the town. ' During the past two yea cifNurses first established h rs. since the Victorian Order cadquarters for nursing ser- .vice in Richmond Hill. the V.O.N. has really become rec- Ognized as “Everyone's Nurse ”, and charming Miss Eileen Woodbyrne and her two partâ€"time assistants, Mrs. F. Vi illock and Mrs. Dorothy Francis have become an integral part of the community life of this town. But the HON. is more than mining the true worth of the V. just a visrting nurse: she is an ON. â€"â€" but when one hears how angel of mercy, a confident and a friend. Like a doctor or priest her conversations with her patâ€" ,ients are confidential, and as many families have found to their mental satisfaction and hap~ piness. the V.O.N. spreads the ‘iight of her learning in their - homes -â€" putting not only the pa- tient but the anxious family at ease in the face of illness. The importance of the VON's work is not to be measured in statistics only â€"~ though they too . play an important part in deter- rhe disabled: the convalescent, or the new mother is benefized and assisted by the Victorian Order Nurse, one realizes to the full she is Everyone's Nurse. Recently a call came from an unidentified young mother_ who needed assistance with a sick and restless infant. The mother need- ed assistance in administering medicine to the child three times a day â€" the \’.O.‘.\'. stepped into the breach. the mother relaxed and the child became well. For those of us who have the l full use of our hands and arms. we can never begin to imagine the frustration another unidentiâ€" fied patient had endured â€" be- fore the V.O.N. called to give her assistance in her daily bath. The patient, we learned, was so crip‘ pled with arthritis she could not wring out her face cloth, let al- one wash herself or comb her own hair. Finally she made contact with the VON. who called at her home and with the gentle help and capable hands of the V.O.N. she now looks forward to the “re- freshing” visits of “Everyone's Nurse. From January to June of this year the Richmond Hill V.O.N. made 846 visits. an increase of 164 visits over the same period for 1958. There were 510 visits made to adult patients, 276 of these being senior citizens of Richmond Hill. A breakdown of the figures shows the V.O.N. made the following visits: Prenatal - expectant mothers 49 Postnatal -â€" mothers home From hospital with new baby 78 Newborn 92 Infants. I month to 1 year 36 Preschool children 31 School children l2 Adults 510 Visits made to doctors and agencies regarding patients’ welfare 33 As the figures reveal. the old- er citizens are the ones partici« paring most fully in the V'.O.N. services. Because there is a rec- ognized need for part~timc nurs- ing for our adult citizens, particâ€" ularly our elder and venerated residents. it is most important the good work of the V.O.N. is financially secure and its contin- uance is assured. The V'.O..\’. is at the heck and call of all who need her â€"â€" it is now up to YOU to answer the call of y:ur local canvasser and give generously to the annual campaign for funds for the V'.O.N. Unity: in Non-Essentials ilew Agreement Yonge Bus Line Will Be Discussed By Inter-Municipal Committee to an agreement for the operation of the service by the T. T. C. The electric line was later reâ€" placed by busses at which time the province in return for getting the needed width for road wid- ening gave the municipalities ex- emption from the bus seat tax. This exemption still continues and the T. T. C. expressed the opinion it might be further re- newed. Answering a question by Depu- tyâ€"reeve Tinker the solicitor said there is no such thing as a frau- chise existing now. Anyone carry- ing passengers on Yonge Street must secure the necessary licence from the Department of Trans- port. Councillor Haggart said there is an operator serving Richmond Hill now who has such a licence. Newmarket Coach Lines operates a bus service via Bayview Avenue. Councillor Haggart said he thou- ght Mr. Needler operator of the line should be given an opportun- ity of submitting a proposal. It was pointed out that while the T. T. C. has expressed a will- ingness to enter into an agree- ment to operate the service there was doubt if they would submit a tender. Under provincial legis- lation the T. T. C.. is compelled to operate at cost. In addition to ‘all operating expenses there is a charge' of seven per cent for general overhead expense. 1 Mayor Tomlin said one sugges- tion he made to the T. T. C. was that the bus service in Richmond Hill might be extended to serve beyond Yonge Street. T. T. C. iofficials said they would consider the suggestion. The whole matter of transpor- tation on Yonge Street will be discussed by the Inter-Municipal Committee at its meeting next Wednesday and its proposal will be referred to the individual municipal councils." The inter- municipai committee has no au- thority to commit any of the member municipalities. Solicitor J. D. Lucas pointed out to the meeting that municipal council is not compelled to pro- vide a transportation system. If council chose to get out of the transportation business the field would be open for private opera- tors to seek a licence from the Department of Transport. He said it was likely applications by private operators competing with the T.T.C. would be opposed by Metropolitan Toronto.

Most high school students we have talked with have been look- ing forward to the fall term for some weeks - which shows a nice, healthy attitude to the fraternity of learning and elementary sch- ooling. But probably the one with the widest grin and the happiest exâ€" pression next Tuesday morning will be “Mother” - as she checks on ‘back of the ears’ ‘clean teeth and nails,’ before tucking a clean hanky into juniors faded denims or gabardines and sending him off ,with slicked-down hair to school E again Richmond Hill's new School In- spector Gordon McIntyre, who commenced his duties a few weeks ago, reports that there is an estimated increase of 350 pu- pils over the June closing for the Fall term, with approximately ?,000 pupils expected to enroll in town public schools Tuesday. including principals and teachers there will be 97 members ‘011 staff.’ an increase of 1-1 over that of last year.

The Beverley Acres drainage project estimated to cost over a quarter of a million dollars will be paid on a. fiftyâ€"fifty basis, half by direct levy on the area directly concerned and half by,the taxpayers of the whole town. This unanimous decision by Richmond Hill Town Council brings finality to an issue which has been a contentious one for several years since the project was first discussed. The box drain project is plan- ned to eliminate flooding condi- tions in the Crosby and Beverley Acres areas and is estimated to cost a quarter of a million dol- lars. The project is still waiting approval by the Ontario Munici- pal Board which has the respon- sibility of determining the am- ount of damages if any to proper- ty owners in Markham Township. Through the years there have been suggestions that the cost of this drainage project should have been paid for by the subdivider. When it wasn't paid for by the subdivider there were suggestions the whole cost should be borne by the area directly concerned and then there were those who contended the entire cost should be spread over the general tax rate of the municipality. Whatever differences of opin- ion on the issue may exist among theme appeared among members of town council. Council passed a by-law fixing the rates for the drainage area to be served by the Markham road storm sewer, which is roughly on a fifty-fifty basis, half of the cost borne by the area and half by'the town as a whole. In answer to a question by De- puty-reeve S. F. Tinker, the May- or stated. “we intend that this will be the pattern for all similar works everywhere in Richmond Hill”. The Beverley Acres project was mentioned as among the “similar works" and the motion setting the rates carried unani- mously. The engineering of the Bever- ley Acres subdivision is still the subject of investigation by 'the special Probe Committee which recently reported on the Crosby sewer breaks. When the special committee was appointed there was a question raised as to the STOL’FFVILLE â€" Council mem- _bers deferred their decision on 1 whether or not to back the fringe municipalities in their fight to have equal representation on the Metro Planning Board.

There was no mention at Monday's meeting concerning the activities of the committee or when a report may be made to council. The total cost of the Markham Road storm sewer is $218,000.00 and the bylaw passed by council provides that $104,700.00 will be paid by a direct levy on the area served and the balance on the whole town. The rate over a period of 30 years for properties fronting directly on the sewer will be $5.00 per foot, and for properties indir- ectly benefiting $2.00 per foot frontage. The storm sewer extends on Markham Road from Yonge St. to Bay‘view and up Bayview a dis- tance of 350 feet. General Business Reeve Perkins moved the ac- ceptance of the tender of Porter Construction Co. for paving the parking lot at Yonge and Rich- mond Streets.

Councillor Haggart expressed pleasure that the Metro District Conservation Authority will meet for the first time in Richmond Hill next Wednesday. The meeting will be in the Public Library and will receive a special welcome from the Mayor. The Women’s Institute will serve refreshments. No discrimination Mayor Tomlin said that while he was sure council had no in- tention or wish to practice disâ€" criminaton there had been com- plaints that notices re zoning reg- ulations concerning basement dwellings had been posted in only one subdivision. Five signs were erected in the new Elgin Mills Park development at a cost of $165.00. On motion of Councillor Hag- gart the signs will be posted in all new subdivisions.

He said County authorities would prefer a cross walk to either the existing stop Sign or lights. Councillor James Haggart, Po- lice Committee chairman said lcouncil hadtdecidcd to establish two cross walks on Yonge Street but there had been no decision lrcgarding Markham Road. “I'm I x i I inclined to agree with the sug- gestion," said Councillor Hag- , ACCIDENTS _ INJURIES l, 92 11 art. “but there will have to be a _â€"â€"_â€"â€"-â€"â€" 1 study of traffic conditions".
