(Continued from page 1) said it was his view the by-law should be amended to conform with North York. “We are comâ€" peting with North York," he said, “so we should keep in line with them". Tom Gillings, Chief Build- ing Inspector to the township, said he had checked with Metro Toronto and they averaged a lot three times the size of the build- ing. Councillor Jesse Brvson said he favoured smaller lots but wondered about sewage and drainage. Would there not be dif- ficulties with lots of the small size proposed - by Councillor Ralph. If there were no such dif- ficulties then he would go along with Mr. Ralph's reasoning and proposal? He asked how the rulâ€"' ing for 4.500 square feet had ever been made. Mr. Gilllngs re- plied that it was the work of the planner at the time the by-law was passed. Councillor Ralph said that the questions relating to drainage, etc.. could still be taken into consideration when in- WORLD WIDE TRAVEL SERVICE Three Day Advance Pollâ€" JAMAICA $316.00 afl-expense hofiday ME. 5 - 566] Includes domestic air fare Ind tourist flight to Jamaica by Jet-prop Viscounts.

SNOWSUITS AND COATS '/2 Price Female Help Wanted Councillors Ralph’s second brief had contained a list of in- dustries of a small type which had been established within the past year, and others proposed for 1960. Their combined prob- able value amounted to $605,000 and employed 175 persons. This was an indication of what en- couragement of small industries could mean to the township he suggested. This meant better busi- ness all round too as was dem- onstrated by the fact Moore’s Res- taurant have doubled their busi- ness and gasoline stations have increased galonage and repairs 100 per cent in the last two months. Another restaurant has been proposed and a chocolate factory for the corner of Credit- stone Road and No. 7 Highway. Good Deal of Merit On conclusion of Councillor "North York does not demand five per cent contribution of lands as in residential develop- ments, but does reserve the right to demand land for township ser- vices. such as truck-yards, ser- vice outiets and for drainage pur- poses’”. “In fully serviced areas they will contribute to services up to the sum of $3,000 per acre,” he said, adding that “In partial services. they will contribute to $2,200 per acre”. As a result of their contribution, they demand from the subdivider that he agree to one of two methods of devel- oping the lands. These are, (1) In order to get financing, the township demands a ceiling price for a period of three years and if the area is large they sug- gest staging of the development; or in the alternative (2 A guar- antee from the- subdivn’ieil that so many feet of assessment would be added per year to the assess- ment rolls in lieu therco‘. a con- tract to pay in cash for the as- sessment, the total cost nr' the de- benture being levied against the lands in the subdivision. Norh York said they had found this policy to be most successful in making the subdividnrs highly competitive in a very competi- tive market. Existing Small Industries Councillor Ralph said he would like to see something done to aid the subdividers._He proposed that money could be loaned on the se- curity of land. The township would be repaid by increased in- dustrial assessment. Comparing the situation in Vaughan Town- ship with the situation 'md policy of other townships he quoted North York. Going on to his second subject. Councillor Ralph said the council should have a firm policy on how to deal with subdivisions. He sugo gested that no firm policy to en- courage development had' been mapped out although the town- ship gave every encouragement. “This is not enough,” he added. “If we don‘t go out and sell it. we won’t achieve all the develop- ment that is possible". Proposed Secured Loans Councillor Anstey said he ag- reed. The proposal was agreed and carried with appropriate in- structions being given to the clerk, for the amendment of the by-law. Finn Policy Demand dividual applications were made to council. By-Law Amendment Agreed PArkview 7-4261 A letter from Maple Ratepayers stating the improvement made in local roads made it a pleasure to drive on them, brought from Reeve Perry the quip, “See that this is framed now”. Reeve’s Summing Up Concluding the council meet- ing Reeve Perry said that in ac- cordance with his new policy, the special meeting of the roads com- mittee would be held Wednesday at 1 pm. He called on all citi- zens to make an effort to attend the public meeting which is be- ing held at McConaghy School, Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, at 8 pm. tonight which will con- sider the hospital project. He said this was of “great import- ance” to the area. A total of 23 members of the public were present in the public gallery at the commencement of the meet- ing. Ten remained till the ad- journment. At one stage some- one started to use a hammer elsewhere in the building, hesi- tated, then stopped. It was not heard again. ~ Smiles & Nudges There were smiles and nudges among the public witn glances in the direction of the press which Indicates that these reports in “The Liberal" are being well read in the township. We record- ed a complaint because of ham- mering in the building last week. which increased difficulty in heat- ing council members. The reeve agreed to take up with the Planning Board a re- quest by a Mr. Halliday for perâ€" mission to erect some temporary display building on Steeles Ave. West near Yonge Street. They are the Colonial Home type of building. Councillor Anstey said this would be against the by-laws but suggested permission be granted on a yearly term contract basis to ensure their removal when required by the township. Ratepayers Letter Council considered agreements for the purchase of land for the widening of the Kerr Bridge and approved purchase of two lots at $382 and $300 respectively. Other negotiations were proceeding. Building Own Home Application by a resident for permission to complete a house he is building himself on Rooseâ€" velt Drive received approval. Councillor Anstey said he had taken a long time with it so far and suggested he be given an- other four months, which pro- voked the reeve to remark, “He is not in a hurry is he?" Temporary Display iBuildings Mr. John L. Brown was the guest speaker at the regular meet- ing of therniversity Women’s Club of York County held Mon- day evening, January 25. in King- craft House, King City. Mr. Brown. who is Director of War- rendale, a private treatment cenâ€" tre in Newmarket for emotionally disturbed girls, was introduced to his audience by Mrs. William Outerbridge of Aurora. Secret- ary of the Club. Mrs. W. R. Kinnear of Aurora thanked Mr. Brown for his fine address and presented him with a small token of the club’s appre- ciation. The meeting then adâ€" journed for coffee and a social half hour. Earlier, Council had considered tenders received for the supply of a truck and a grader. There were eight tenders which were read out clearly and distinctly by the deputy-clerk, Fred Jackman. Prices of the tenders varied be- ween $28,688 entered by Carruth- ers Brothers (the highest) and 22.- 150 entered by Dominion Loan Machinery (the lowest). These prices varied if a trade-in was made. The equipment and prices were so varied that the rceve sug- gested they should be referred to the Road Committee for con- sideration. He added that Council would buy nothing without first seeing the product. The deputy- reeve who was chairman of the roads committee was unable to be present with council he added and he should be consulted. Highest tender for a truck was entered by White Motors of Woodbridge at $8464. Lowest was that of R. D. Little 8: Sons Ltd. of Richmond Hill at $5877. Again because of the varied nature of the trucks offered and the absence of the deputy-reeve, these ten- ders were referred to the roads committee.

Reeve Haggart said he did not appear in support of the petition. He had accompanied Mr. Saddler on some calls because he was re~ quested to do so and he thought he might be helpful in explain- ing any details in plans for road improvement.

V Onmfionidiéy. the doors of the newly completed Clarke-Elgin opened to the pupils for the first time. Councillor Whillans was sharp- ly critical of Reeve Haggart who accompanied Mr. Saddler when he called on some ratepayers. “I don't think the Reeve used good judgement in appearing in sup- port of this petition.” said Coun- cillor Whillans, “his presence might indicate at least some tacit approval of council”. The school is situated between Clark and Elgin at the extreme north west end of Henderson Avenue. The principal is Mr. Gordon Learn. The school has 7 classrooms and 1 kindergarten room and there are approximate- ly 260 students. ' During the discussion Mayor Tomlin revealed that a court ac- tion against the municipality has already been started by Mr. Sad- dler of the Emerald Isle Com- pany. Mr. Saddler is asking a writ to compel the Building In- spector to issue a building per- mit. A previous petition had ex- pressed opposition to the propos- al. A petition read Monday night with twelve signatures expressed no opposition. Councillor Whillans suggested the second petition should be con- sidered invalid because a diag- ram on the back was not on all petitions presented to ratepayers. Miss L. D.

Reeve Haggart pointed out the report contained hund- reds of pages, scores of maps and charts, weighed seven pounds and would take a lot of study.

An amend- ment by Councillors Broadhurst and Mrs. Southwell was that per- mission for the permit be grant- ed. Mrs. Southwell was critical of past councils for allowing devel- opment without proper planning on Wood Lane. The Mayor said the original Wood Lane was 12 feet in width, and that the area like Topsy “just grew up’”. To the suggestion the people be again consulted Councillor Broadhurst commented, “they must be getting tired of express- ing opinions”. Councillor Whillans after the Mayor’s announcement that legal action was started said he would welcome a legal decision. “I think the town is in a very strong legal position,” he said.
