Council decided to take no action on the request. It was stated the Highways Dept. does not look favorably on the proposal. Debentures Council authorized Graham & Co. town fiscal agents to sell $200,000. debentures to cover sewer installations. The price hoped to be realized is $98 for 20 year debentures bearing inter- est at 6 and three quarters per cent. This is somewhat better than the 7 per cent charged by OMIC, the provincial financing agency. Recreation Dir. The personnel committee was authorized to interview three ap- plicants for the position of part time recreational director. Adjust Charges Based on a report of the Works Commissioner it was decided on motion of Deputy-reeve S. F. Tinker. Works Committee ‘Chair- man to revise schedule'of charges for water and sewer installations. Deputyâ€"reeve Tinker reported that it will cost $6000 to elimin- ate the open ditch at the Rich- mond Heights Shopping centre.

It was said it is hoped the contribution may be $5000. “And we don’t want it in green stamps," said deputy-reeve Tinker. Mr. Tinker also reported plans are being prepared along with estimates for requested sidewalk construction on Bayvlew Avenue. No Green Stamps The point was made again that there is still room for member- ship expansio‘n and anyone up to the age of forty will be welcomed to any meeting for enquiry or trial without obligation.

A glimpse into the past and a young man's first‘ impressions of Canada and the area surrounding Richmond Hill came to life re~ cently when a philatelist in the states purchased a “Patterson. C. W." stamp for his collection. The stamp was on an envelope and in- side the envelope was a letter â€" a boy’s letter to his mother. fiamp News of the find was made known to Mr. and Mrs. Redel- meier, of Don Head Farms, through Mrs. Constance E. Cook of Ithaca. New York. whose hus- band bought the stamp. Mrs. Cook’s husband Alfred is the ne- phew of Mr. John D. Patterson â€" one of the three sons of the or- iginal owner of Patterson Village, now Don Head Farms, two miles west of Richmond Hill. The Red- elmeiers purchased Don Head farm from Mr. Patterson's estate. As a boy Alfred Cook used to visit and stay with his uncle at Patterson â€" and the summer house behind the main residence was built for him and his brother. Reeve W. L. Clark informed Markham Township council mem- bers on Tuesday evening that he and Solicitor Lucas had met that afternoon with the reeves and solicitors of Richmond Hill and Vaughan, and T.T.C. officials and their solicitors. in a preliminary meeting regarding a new agree- ment for bus service. “All parties concerned agreed to a similar contract much as we had had before, without going in- to details. We left the solicitors to work out the details â€" when they are ready we will have a general meeting and disclose the new agreement.” Mr. Clark said. Utility Standards In writing to the Redelmeiers Mrs. Cook says, “We found a Pat- Regular Meeting Markham Council Council is to study a plan re- garding utility location standards following receipt of a standard location layout. said to be similar to Metro’s. It is not expected the Hydro and Bell Telephone utility layouts will be influenced for some time in Markham Township, but council will take a long look into the future before comment- ing on the plan. Strike Uncollected Taxes What happens when a business goes into bankruptcy, a business man moves away from the area, leaving an unpaid business tax, or a mistake is made in the as- sessment roll? Council passes a by-law and strikes these dangling sums from the roll, after they have been carried for some years without any action. On Tuesday night, By-iaw 1787 was passed by council, thereby striking ofi amounts ranging from '74 cents to $234.45, a total amount of approximately $500. in real property tax including principal and interest â€"- and approximately $450. In unpaid business taxes. Some of the money could still be recovered, as in the case of ser- vice stations which change hands so often, Harry Crisp told coun- cil. Council ruled that only one north and south road was nec- essary through Holy Cross Cem- etery, Langstaff, and cancelled a plan proposed by the cemetery board for an east-west road through the area. Councillor Mumberson said, “I question the need of a road between the rail- way track and Yonge Street. They only need one road, the one they have now.” One error in the tax rolls has been carried for several years. Somewhere along the line the township assessors assessed a piece of property and have been billing for it unsuccessfully. Mr. Crisp said he checked on it and found it was included in the pro- perty next door - and should nev~ er have been charged. This tax bill was the largest nortlon of the amount struck off the rolls this week.

We were particu- larly amused because the young writer came from a town only a few miles north of our home. We know the "country back from the lake" quite well. The letter of 1867 reads as fol- lows and between its lines we de- tect the boy's love for his mother in detailing his new life in Can- ada â€" his mention of visiting the Episcopal Church (St. Mary’s An- glican Church) sending her re- assurance across the miles that her son is remembering "the pre- cepts of his youth." To: Mrs. Isaac Raymond Poplar Ridge. Cay. Co. N. York Patterson. April let, 1867 Mother how are you this morn- ing? I suppose you are wondering how I get along in Canada, well I arrived here Tuesday night six o'clock all safe and sound. and went to work next morning. There is about sixty men employed in the whole shop. The boss seems to be a very nice man and the boys are the jolliest set I ever came across. There is one regular boarding house where the most of the unmarried men stop. there is between twenty and thirty in all, it is a first rate place. they cook tip top and have everything nice, for three dollars per week they have had roast beef for din- ner ever since I have been here and it is the best I ever ate, also bread and pudding can't be beat, the folks are the best natured and most obliging that I ever met. The country right here looks pretâ€" ty new for the shop was built right in the woods. There is no one lives here but those who work in the shop. There is 25 houses I should think in the Patch “as they call it here” and they are all own- ed by Mr. Patterson who _owns the shop. There is one farm house just across the road, it is two miles to the nearest village. It is called Richmond Hill, I think I shall go up this afternoon to Episcopal Church and to see the place I don't see but what things are about as forward here as in Cayuga County, back from the lake, there is quite a good lot of pine mixed in about here. I came across the suspension bridge as the boats have not commenoed running across the lake yet. I tell you it is a pokerish looking place, but the cars run across very slow.
