Former Reeve W. J. Taylor has been prominently men- tioned as a possible candidate for several offices but he has not yet definitely decl-ared\his in- tentions. Council candidates de- finitely in the field are Council- lor W. J. Bradstock. Tom Broad- Richmond Hill’s annual nomination meeting will be held at the High School auditorium Monday, No’vember 23rd, and every citizen is welcome to attend. Nominations are received from 7.30 to 8.30 pm. after which a public meeting will be held and all candidates given an opportun- ity of addressing the electors. It is expected Mayor Kenneth W. Tomlin completing his second term as Mayor will be accorded an acclamation. An election is as- sured for the Reeveship with Councillor James Haggart con- testing the office now held by Reeve F. R. Perkins. ‘ Nomination AMonduy At the coming municipal elections in Richmond Hill, electors will vote for municipal council members, school truste'es, and on the proposed two year term, but there will be no vote this year on the local bus Question. Acclamation For Mayor K. Tomlin Appears Likely No Vote On Bus Line This Year Council 'Decdes It was agreed at Town Council meeting Monday night that owing to lack of time to prepare the necessary bylaw and prepare all facts for presentation to the people any vote on the question be postponed until some time early next year. “The question can be submitted to the people . . l . In a referendum at a tlme when there are no other Issues,” said the Mayor. The local transportation system has been operated by Newmarket Coach Lines under the agreement with the town which provides that any deficit is paid by the municipality. The Mayor said the subsidy which at the inception of the service was as high as $600 a month has gradually de- creased as bus patronage in- creased. It is averaging now about $300. permonth. Council received a petition signed by 42 ratepayers asking that the bus service on the west side of town be restored. Mayor Tomlin said that as all the rate- payers contributed to the pay- ment of the deficit it was only reasonable all parts of the town should receive service. Deputy-reeve Tinker said the service was curtailed to reduce the deficit. and if resumed the deficit likely would increase. Mayor Tomlin pointed out that the resumption of the service to the west part of town might mean an increase in fares. When the service did extend west of Yonge St. the number of passengers in that area was small. Councillor Paterson contended that however few as long as they helped pay the subsidy they were entitled to the service. On motion of Reeve Perkins and Councillor Paterson the peti- tion for extended service was reâ€" ferred to the Transportation Com- mittee with the understanding that the service will be extended to serve all parts of town until a referendum can be held. Final Meeting This was the final meeting of town council before the nomina- tion meeting which will be held next Monday night. Councillor Ross is retiring but it is expected all other members will be seek- ing re-election for some office. Council passed the bylaw an- nexing from Vaughan township the site for the new Pleasantville public school. T. H. Buckland wrote council pointing out the need for a side- walk on Bayview from Crosby to the shopping centre but protest- ing any suggestion the cost should be borne by property owners fron- ting on the street. He said Bay- view is one of the busiest streets and cost of the sidewalk should be borne by the whole town. He complained of being assessed for the Beverley Acres drainage proj- ect. If the trouble is due to faulty engineering the matter is the re- sponsibility of council not the people who happen to live in the area and have no drainage prob- lem he said. Deputy-reeve Tinkay said he i“ @flgs * mmm burst” Harold Mills, Ken G. Smith, Trustee Mrs. Margaret Southwell and Howard Whillans. Councillor Joseph Paterson has not definitely declared his inten- tions. W. S. Cook, Hydro commission Chairman is standing for re-elâ€" ection and for public school board Trustees Lewis D. Clement and Harold D. Sanderson will stand for re-election. Former Trustee Mrs. Southwell is contesting a council seat and so far the only new candidates for school board are Ray Lewin, of 305 McConvey Dr. and Mrs. Irene Worrell, 206 Bayview Ave. didn’t like to hear charges of in- competent engineering bandied about in an off-hand manner. Councillor Haggart â€"â€" The in- vestigating committee reported an error in judgment with respect ‘to the engineering. Mr. Haggart pointed out that the sidewalk proposed for Mark- ham Road will be paid from the general levy as it is a much used thoroughfare. He thought the same treatment should be ac- corded to Bayview. He moved that the letter be referred to the Works Committee for considera- tion. Works Chairman S. F. Tinker said a: report is now being pre- pared on two kinds of walks for Bayview. The upkeep' of the road is a charge on the whole‘town. Petition A petition was received asking a sidewalk as a local improvement on the west side of Hall Street between Benson and Mill. If the petition is signed by the required number of property owners coun- cil will proceed with the work. Smoke Bylaw It was reported council is pro- ceeding with plans for a smoke control bylaw. A letter from Paul Angle of Bedford Park Floral Co. assured council of co-operation in an effort to eliminate the smoke nuisance in the area of their plant. New equipment to be purchased should reduce the nuisance to a minimum he said and his firm will “Co~operate with or without a bylaw." Mr. Angle said the record proved that the flower growing industries always had co-operated for the good of the municipality. A motion by Councillor Brad- stock and Reeve Perkins thanked Mr. Angle for his co-operation. Widen Crosby Council accepted a recommen- dation of the Planning Board that Crosby east of the CNR be wid- ened to a width of 86 ft. Deputy- reeve Tinker opposed the resolu- tion. He said the rail crossing would have a width of only 66 ft. Planning Budget Council rejected a plea of the Planning Board for an increase in the 1959 budget of $7500 to take care of the cost of an aerial photographic survey and extra expense for the services of a planning consultant. “We must stay within our bud- get" said Mayor Tomlin who sug- gested that Planning Boatd's re- quest be considered when the 1960 budget is adopted. Council members agreed and on motion of Councillor Haggart and Dep- uty-reeve Tinker the Planning (Continued On Page 21) “In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity.‘ VRICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY; NOVEMBER 19, 1959 Completing his second term as a member of Richmond Hill Town council who has announced that he is standing for re-el- ection.

Bradstock Standing For Re-election Vaughan Electors To Vote Monday Elect New Township School Board On Tuesday, at about 8.30 in the evening, reports were receiv- ed by the Richmond Hill Hydro that one of their poles was on fire on Newkirk Drive. Investigation revealed that the fire was caused by the failure of the cables feeding the new Town Station, which has been in ser- vice less than a year. It was ne- cessary to remove this hazard from the lines and in order to do so the Town Station on New- kirk Drive had to be isolated. Interruption Power Service The customers fed from this station were transferred to the one on Centre St. at Sneddon Road. A short interruption for all customers in, the district was ne- cessary to remove the Station from service, and then the cusâ€" tomers in Beverley Acres were without power until they could be picked up on the Sneddon Station. A cable crew from On- tario Hydro was called in to ef- fect the repairs to the cable which will involve a two day job.

Lots of Work - Bryson Mr. Jesse Bryson, Vaughan Township Councillor, was elected chairman following the closing of the nominations. Before calling on the nominees for brief spee- ches, Councillor Bryson said he was glad to see so much interest in the new school area. He said he was, “Hoping and praying for a good board. It will take a great deal of time; there will have to be lots of work and effort on the part of each member elected to this board." Candidates Speak Speaking first was Mr. Savage. a farmer. He stated he had been on the school board at Patterson for fourteen years, 'serving as secretary-treasurer during this time. “And I‘ve never missed a school board meeting in that time," said Mr. Savage, “Patter- son has been run economically; our mill rate last year was 8.5 mills, but we expect the rate to go up with the new set-up," added Mr. Savage. I’ll have one eye on education and one eye on the taxpayer’s pocket-book,” he con- cluded.

Mr. George Snider, farmer, of Edgeley School Board and Mr. Earl Boekner of Maple School Board. Born and educated in Vaughan Township and now a secondary school teacher at Wes- ton Collegiate, Mr. Constable has been connected with Maple School Board since 1955. Last year he was elected chairman. This fall he has served as secre- tary of the provisional Co-ordin- ating Committee for the new area. Mr. Constable cited his exper- ience as a factor in asking for support. He stated, “I am wil- ling to devote sufficient time to this work in order that policy can be studied fully." He advocated maintaining high standards of education in the township, and the election of experienced trus- tees. Mrs. Hogg, a housewife, prom- ised to “devote necessary time to the very large task ahead, for on this board depends the edu- cation of our own children. Any- time you would like to talk over anything please feel free to call on me." Mrs. Hogg was nomin- ated by Mr. Pierre Berton, well known columnist, and Mr. M. Savage. Mrs. Robertson opened her re- marks by mentioning a meeting at Vellore in 1953 in which a plan for a Vaughan School area was proposed by two members of the Township Council then in of- fice. “However,” said Mrs. Rob- ertson, “The present bylaw No. 2296 passed June 8th of this year seemed to be passed in a moment. Ratepayers were bewildered and wondered what would happen.” Mr? Robertson compared the new set-up to a foundling who would only discover who its parents will bc this January.
