AT ELGIN MILLS ROAD About fifty ratepayers attended the meeting in Crosby school. Mr. John Triance acted as chairman and alloted each candidate four minutes with. one minute for questions from the audience. 'It was an orderly meeting and each candi- date received an attentive hear~ ing. Questions ranged all the way from the Drainage Probe Commit- tees report to whether or not children should be made to run around school in their stocking feet. ‘ _. ‘ I any». Councillor Haggart. a candidate for Reeve, launched the drainage problem as the most contentious subject of the evening by extend- ing a welcome “to the shores of the CrOSby ditch.” He declared that the prime issue of the cam- paign is engineering, and he made a vigorous demand for an answer as to when the Probe Committee will give the second part of its report. Reeve Perkins ignored the re- marks of the previous speaker as he followed Mr. Haggart and making the same speech as nom- ination night appealed to all the citizens to work together to make Richmond Hill a good place in which to live. However as soon as the meeting was thrown open for questions the Reeve was asked why the second half of the Probe Committee report had not been presented to council. Mr. Perkins s;id the delay was due to con- cern for the tax dollar, and that he had been requested not .0 further complicate negotiations with J. A. Bailey by bringing down the report. The special Probe Committee headed by Reeve Perkins and in- cluding as members Councillor Bradstock and Councillor Pater- son was appointed early in April. Town Council took this action after receiving a letter from Tom Broadhurst (now a candidate for council) asking for a full scale Explaining the delay, Reeve Perkins said Works Commission- er Whalen asked that ‘the report be delayed until he completed ne- gotiations with J. A. Bailey, sub- divider, concerning certain drain- age and road problems in the area. Mr. Perkins read corres- pondence in which the Works Commissioner intimated that the publication of the second half of the probe report might compli- cate matters and that he didn’t wish any conflicting ‘issues until his dealings with Mr. Bailey are finalized. In his communication it was stated that Mr. Bailey had flatly refused to do the work requestedim ‘ U 7' J This was the answer given by Reeve F. R. Perkins, Probe Com- mittee Chairman, at a ratepayers meeting at Crosby School last Thusday evening in answer to a question from t_he al_1d_ience._ The special Probe Committee investigating the engineering on Beverley Acres sub-division has not made a report because the Town Works Commissione: has requested it be delayed. robe Committee Report Has een DelaYed At Request Of he Commissioner OtWorks aggart Charges Ian Is To Get Rid Of Him First , Street. provide serviced indus- trial land and enforce the zon- ing by-law. Tom Bi‘oadhurst quoted his ntâ€" tendance record at 1959 council meetings to prove he was a ser- ious candidate. He was critical of the “un-natural harmony" so noticeable in the past year and promised to stir things up. John McDiarmid was critical of the plan for Beverlej Acres drainage project. He said it is foolish to spend a quarter mil- lion dollars trying to run water , Ls" vw, s_| A: Reeve Perkins Says 2 lbs. Per Customer The second half of the probe report has not yet been presented _to council. A decision' has been made by Council that when the Beverley Acres Drain Project es- timated to cost $248,000. is pro- ceeded with it will be paid part- ly by direct levy on the area concerned and the remainder by the town as a whole. Previously there had been suggestions the whole cost should be borne by the ratepayers in the area served. Council established a policy of assessing half of the cost of the Markham Road storm sewer to the area served and at that time made it 'clear the same policy would apply to Beverley Acres. Criticizing council action when the first half of the probe report was presented Councillor Haggart said “the engineers having been found guilty of an error in judge- ment, council refused to ‘pass sentence.” ‘ A Deploring the delay in present- ing the probe report dealing with Beverley Acres Councillor Hag- gart said “what is the plan? Could the plan be to get rid of me, and then present the report in an atmosphere of peace, quiet and comfort?” Replying to Mr. Haggart, Reeve Perkins said he had been request- ed by the Works Commissioner to delay the report. Against 2_ Year Term -. 1, g_ In August Reeve Perkins, Probe Committee Chairman pres- ented a report dealing only with the recurring breaks in the Cros- by sewer which cost something over $50,000. The report found that “someone was guilty of an error in judgement,” and after reference to T0wn solicitor coun- cil received the advice there was nothing in the report on which to base legal action to recover any part of the $50,000. spent. There was a council division on the adoption of the report. Councillor Haggart wanted an amendment adding that “the en- gineering firm of Proctor & Red- fern be not engaged for any fu- ture work.” His amendment was supported by Deputy-reeve Tin- ker and Councillor Paterson but failed to carry. Voting against the amendment were Reeve Per- kins, and Councillors Bradstock and Ross. Councillor John Brads-took in outlining his policies promised to Vote against the two year term proposal, to continue to work for park improvement, remove parked vehicles from Yonge In his letter Mr. Broadhurst suggested council consider legal action if it should be found the engineering was at fault. Council decided to appoint a three man committee to thorough- ly investigate the two projects in an effort to fix responsibility for conditions. ' probe to fix responsibility for the quarter million dollar drainage problem in Beverley Acres and the recurring expensive breaks in the Crosby sewer, which cost more than $50.000. There were several questions directed to the candidates, one most often asked concerned the rule that required children to go about school in stocking feet. Trustee explained this wasn’t ne- cessary if children had any kind of running shoes or slippers. It was stated that heavy rubber boots were damaging to school floors. 7 V L Sa-m Cook, re-elected as Hydro Commissioner and Deputy-reeve Stanley F. Tinker re-elected by acclamation thanked the rate- payers for their support. School Board Chairman L. D. Clement, and Trustee Harold D. Sanderson discussed school prob- lems, and new candidates for the Board, Raymond Lewin‘, Mrs. Irene Worrell. and Basil Pappas gave their ideas on the local educational scene and asked for support. ‘ Another questioner advocated admission of specially equipped students to, kindergarten at the age of three. Trustee Sanderson was applauded when he said he didn’t believe in paying teachers to be baby-sitters. Mrs. Margaret Southwell, a candidate for council after six years as a school trustee appeal- ed for support. Harold J. Mills ’the other candidate for council was unable to be present. Ken Smith stressed the need and importance of industrial de- velopment. He was critical of, council action in selling land giv- en to the town for park purposes. Howard Whillans outlined his platform calling for proper sup- ervlsion of the zoning bylaw, need for industrial development and a‘commuter train service. ' Bruce Murray corrected 3 nom- ination nigh-t statement that $3000. was spent to investigate the Crosby sewer. He found the cost to be $330.98. He said a bus service should not be subsidized without authorization by a vote of the people. Answering a ques- tion he said he had attended four council meetings this year, and was quite satisfied with a one year term.[ ' Tom Broadhurst quoted his at- tendance record at 1959 council meetings to prove he was a ser- ious candidate. He was critical of the “un-natural harmony” so noticeable in the past year and promised to stir things uy. John McDiamid was critical of the plan for Beverley Acres drainage project. He said it is foolish to spend a quarter mil- lion dollars trying to run water up-hill. He was critical of coun- cil salaries, two years ago they were $8. per meeting and now raised to $16.
