The Mayor Ken Tomlin reported that the proposals would be studied by the Finance Com- mittee in the light of the town’s economy and ability to pay. Keep Unions Out Councillor Mrs. Southwell said that the unions should be kept out if possible and the way to do this was to volunteer suitable in- creases Which would keep the stafi happy. She thought the rec- ommendatious of the report would achieve this. Staff Association . The Mayor a'greed with the Reeve but said he thought Coun- cillor Broadhurst’s proposal in general a good one because it would assist committees to plan reasonably bv keepingr within the people's ability to pay. An increase in the salary of the Works Commissioner was also proposed. Ability To Pay? The Reeve suggested that for- mation of a stat? association could also assist in this direction. The Deputy-reeve pointed out that a grievance procedure already ex- ists and as a last resort staff council Reeve Haggart remarked that in forecasting budgets the de- nartments would have to be wea- ther prophets too because the weather could and does seriously affect the overall budget. 7 Markham Township He made his motion he said “because this would give us a Dicture of what we could expect in financial support of proposals.

THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1960 titled to appeal direct to VOLUME LXXXI, NUMBER 39 Reeve William Clark, who is also Warden of the County of York, therefore a member of the Planning Committee seeking a site for a county university said, “There have been a lot of sug- gestions as to where the univer- sity should go. It was reported. at County Council committee meet- ings that a survey should be made of the entire county, and that there must be no ‘competition’. York University officials were to have their choice and this is the result." However, the Deputy- reeve pointed out that $1 million would be ‘lost’ in assessment, and that heavy industrialism in that district was necessary to main- tain a good assessment-balance. Already “two or three nibbles” have been made for industrial and commercial land-development in this area. He predicted that the number of homes anticipated for Ward I warranted a University in that ward; but other members of coun- cil did not back up his proposal â€"- nor, apparently, did they share his enthusiasm. Councillor MacNeil then asked if any of the other council members had seen a write-up in a Toronto paper last week-end stating Dr. M. Ross, President of the York University, had said, ‘,‘Of all the offers received so far the former jail farm at Langstaff in Markham Township is the best.” The only drawback. Mr. MacNeil said is the cost of the land. “As far as I am concerned”, he remarked, I would be 100 per cent in favor of York University going into there. I think we should do everything in our power to help that.” without industry would make us top-heavy in that ward." Reeve Clark said three sites have been suggested by Markham council members and he instructed the clerk to fill out the required form, listing the necessary in- formation and forward it to the County Council. ‘A‘It‘s up to them Reeve W. J. Haggart assured members town council is making progress on plans for oi‘fstreet parking. He complimented the as- sociation on its activities and gave assurance of council co-oper- ation. to make their choice when the suggestion is made to them. Maybe the jail farm property is more valuable to us for industrial “York University has received 11 offers so far for pro- posed sites”, Councillor John MacNeil told Markham Town- ship after Clerk Harry Crisp had read a letter from the County of York requesting recommendations from all York municipalities to be filed on a prepared form “as soon as possible”, at Monday afternoon’s regular session of Mark- ham TownsAhip Council. All members were present. Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean said it would be a handicap to have such a large tax exemption there and Councillor Lawson Mumberson reiterated his state- ment. Panel discussion generally ag- reed Richmond Hill business peo- ple are giving splendid service to the community. Attractive fea- tures mentioned included attracâ€" tive business places, quality goods. reasonable prices pleas- ing service and the personal in- terest of proprietors and staff. Deputy-reeve Dean: “We have no industrial development in that area at the present time and to add more residential subdivisions Feature of the evening’s pro- gram was a panel discussion of thr topic “What do I expect from my suppliers?” Col.

Ottawa Civic Hospital from 1952 until 1957 when he was appointed to his present position. Reeve James Haggart told the council Monday he and other council members had so enjoyed a recent tour of the town's new water treatment plant, that it had been decided to invite the pub- lic and the press to make a sim- ilar tour. Press and public will be received at the plant from 10 to 12 noon Saturday. March 26, and April 2. The public is cordial- ly invited. Vaughan Votes To Stay Dry As Licence Advocates Fail To Gain Needed 60 Per Cent The store will move into larger quarters in the Allen- court Plaza and to mark the occasion is planning a big three day event. Watch next week's issue for full particul- ars of how you can get a diamond ring free. Near 50% Turn Out Proctor‘s Diamonds open- ed a branch in Allencourt Shopping Plaza in January and patronage has been :0 gratifying, larger quarters are needed already. Proctor’s, a name known and respected in the jewel- lery business in Toronto for the past sixty years has pro- ven 'a popular addition to Richmond Hill’s growing commercial section. Proctor’s Moving To Larger Store Inspect Water Treatment Plant “In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 SINGLE COPY 10c Councillor Anstey, who at an earlier council meeting, had said he would like to see the bottles brought up from under the tables, stated he was glad the people of the township had had an oppor- tunity ‘to vote on the question. Councillor Jesse Bryson appar- ently standing alone on the side of the drys, said, “The result of the liquor vote should not be looked upon as a victory for the dry campaign but it does indiâ€" cate to me that the majority of people in the township have shown a sense of responsibility insofar as the control of liquor is concerned, which to me is very gratifying. In other words, the people of the township had the courage to keep out a real tiger. True liberty is not to do what we like as selfish individuals, but the liberty for the good of all men.” Mr. Brian Bailey Chairman of the Vote Yes Com- mittee, Brian Bailey of Richvale, told “The Liberal" that "We hoped We might win and probably would have done so had there been anything like a 100 per cent D01]. But we hardly expected much more of a result than the one obtained. The Deputy-reeve Vic Ryder said that the result of the vote justified council’s acion in per- mitting the vote. The balance in favour and against was approxi- mately equal, and now at least everybody knew what the situa- tion really was. After 54 years it had been proper to provide an opportunity to the people to de- cide an issue of this nature. Councillors Differ He had not expected a different result. The Yes side hardly ever won the first time in rural areas such as this township. Councillor Ralph merely stated. “‘Well the big job is behind us now”. The clerk said it would take another week to wind things up. The clerk also stated that in the newer sec- tions of the township the percent- age vote attained the 60 per cent requirement and favoured estab- lishment of retail stores. It was of course swallowed if! overall township vote. L011er Sypporter of Drys We don’t properly _understand why there should be this clause in the law demanding a 60 per cent majority. After all we had a majority on two of the three questions asked. We would be content with those two. A lot of people on our side are mad about that 60 per cent qualification. However, while we are naturally disappointed, we feel that the result of the vote and the fact we had majority in two out of three proposals jus- tifies our request for the vote.” Mr. Bailey said that it would be at least three years before any atempt would be made to obtain another vote on the issue. He felt that people needed more ed- ucation on the pros and cons of an issue of this kind. He believ- ed too few of them realized that when liquor is made illegal then the temptatidn is much stronger. Agvthing which is forbidden be- comes more desirable. That seems to be human nature. If all the People knew all that goes on, particularly among the teenagers. in regard to illegal drinking, then they would vote overwhelmingly in favour of a controlled liquor set-up. As soon as liquor is made legal. for many the desirability disappears, he said. Assessment Lost To have liquor outlets in the township would reduce, not in- crease crime, and the need for POIiCe Drotection. He stated that 1any independent impartial peop- le including those in public of- fice and police chiefs would sup- port this view. Mr. Bailey conclu- ded that unfortunately for the tmmship. considerable assess- ment would be lost because new enterprises in touirst industry would not come in and those al-l a] police officers. He said that it would be easier and cheaper to keep a township clean under a controlled liquor law, than it can possibly be with liquor con- tinuing illegal with all the temp- tations and problems such a sit- uation incurs. Deputy-reeve’s Comments He said that the township has voted to stay dry, and if this pol- icy was carried to its logical con- clusion. he should clean up the township. But to do so would re- quire the services of 30 addition- Reeve John Perry stated on Monday that in his view it would have been better for the town- ship to have gone wet. The vote was as follows: Retail brewery and liquor stores: Yes, 2,255, No, 1,997; dining lounges: Yes; 2.144, No’. 2,113; cocktail lounges: Yes, 2018, No, 2,223. Reeve's Views Vaughan Township residents rejected an attempt to reverse a 54-year.old dry local option victory. Out of 8,554 eligible voters, 49 per cent went to the polls last Saturday. The wets lost on all three propositions when they failed to obtain the required 60 per cent of the vote, although they did in fact achieve a. majority on two of the propositions. Reeve James Haggart informed council Monday the Crown had confirmed that the town could make use of land adjacent to the new Post Office. for use as a parking lot. The following notice ap- pears over the Reeve’s chair in the Vaughan Municipal Office at Maple: “When I'm right â€" no one Remembers. When I’m Wrong â€" No One Forgets.” Finally, Mr. Warren Bailie paid a nice compliment to Mr. Brian Bailey and his Vote Yes Committee. He said the Vote Yes Committee had conducted a good clean campaign on a high level. He and others on the Vote No side had no complaints. “In this sort of campaign,” said Mr. Bailie, “this is not always so.” He added that “It is nice to be able to say this of our opponents in Vaughan Township." , Entrance and exits would be provided. Rental would be meron nominal at one dollar a year. The town will be responsible for the maintenance. Agreement for its use will be on a year to year basis. Mr. Bailie said it inspired him and many of his co-workers to work much harder. It had the ef4 fect of refreshing them at just the right moment. He said re- sults showed the township could have been saved the expense be- cause total wet vote was less than the percentage required for any body of citizens to force council to hold a referendum. However, he was glad people had had the issue put squarely before them. His side plan to maintain a semi- permanent organization 0 com- bat future efiorts to t m the township wet. Off Street Parking Plan Near polling day he was get- ting weary and discouraged when a 16-year-old boy came along and donated $50 of his own savings. The boy’s own father said later he was glad his son had reached this decision on his own. Although the lad's contribution was the lar- gest single donation, it went be- yond the money. Inspiration of Boy’s Gift Chairman of the Vote No Com- mittee, Mr. Warren Bailie, told “The Liberal” he was so happy with the result he hardly knew what to say. The major issue had been as to whether the township should be turned into a play- ground for tourists. The results showed that women had turned out in numbers to vote. In critical areas the women had eflectively turned the scales. ready here would probably now move out. He added that he will certainly support any future cam- paign to change the by-law.

Budget Total cost of the police for 1960 was estimated at $90,038.50 a 45 per_cent increase on 1959. ‘ The budget was referred to the Finance Committee. Following brief discussion the Deputy Reeve’s motion seconded by Councillor Broadhurst was carried unanimously. Deputy Reeve Stanley Tinker making his second appearance in a wheel chair since his recovery from surgery recently, told Rich- mond Hill Town Council Monday he did not think a charge should be made for the use of public property for recreation purposes. The Deputy Reeve was referring to the Recreation Committee’s proposal to charge fifty cents for each child enrolled under the Playground Recreation scheme. Last year no charge was made. The Deputy Reeve suggested this system should be continued. At a meeting of representatives of the 13 fringe mun- icipalities of Metro Planning area held in Richmond Hill municipal chambers Tuesday evening. presided over by Mayor Wm. Parrish of Ajax, it was resolved that a brief should be prepared outlining reasons for a resolution pass- ed at an earlier meeting on.February 23rd, and to submit the brief to the civic chiefs of the 13 municipalities for consideration, before forwarding it to Premier Frost. The original resolution read, “That the municipalities here as- sembled disagree with the fact that the 13 fringe municipalities are subject to the planning con- trol of the Metro Toronto Plan- ning Board and further that these 13 fringe municipalities be with- drawn from the Metro Toronto Planning Area and the planning of these fringe municipalities should be done by these munici- palities under the supervision and control of a Provincial Plan- ning Board set up by the Ontario Government.” Vaughan Township; Coun- cillor Mrs. Marg Southwell. and Councillors Tom Broadhurst and John Bradstock, Richmond Hill; Mayor William A. Parish, Ajax. Brief Committee The meeting went on to appoint a committee to prepare the brief. Mayor K. W. Tomlin of Richmond Hill agreed to draft the brief and to have it ready by April 4th. Reeve Perry of Vaughan and Reeve Armstrong of Woodbridge with Mayor Parish of Ajax would act as critics to consider and ap. nrnvo this hula!

The Mayor added. “We should then be happy to discuss planning with Metro or anyone else". He added. “But we don’t want dicta- tion from Metro.

We want to retain our independence’f. Mr. Black said that it was known the Premier was not en- tirely happy with the set-up which gave Metro this control. it was wrong and bad logic for one municipality. whatever its size. to have planning control ov- er its neighbours. They suggested planning is the responsibility of the Government and that this res- ponsibility is being abdicated by the government when it permits its planning powers to be assum- ed by Metro Toronto. Production of the plan had brought matters to a head but they wanted to be cbnstructive. Mr. Jenkins said his township would want to sit down with Metro to discuss the plan to see if it was sufficiently flexible to permit them to come to terms wlh it. Mayors Tomlin and Parish said the plan was not being prejudged a: they had no quarrel with planning as such. Their quarrel was a matter of principle â€" that Mr. Jenkins suggested that Metro Plan should not be pre- judged. Motives behind the plan should be discovered. If it was forseen that all the municipalities would form part of one large Metropolitan City 20 years hence. then the plan might be the best thing for the people if not for the local government. The meeting went on to appoint a committee to prepare the brief. Mayor K. W. Tomlin of Richmond Hill agreed to draft the brief and to have it ready by April 4th. Reeve Perry of Vaughan and Reeve Armstrong of Woodbridge with Mayor Parish of Ajax would act as critics to consider and ap- prove the brief. It was agreed that the brief on being returned by civic chiefs should be distributed to every member of all fringe municipal councils and to their planning boards for comment and sugges- tions. All of this is to be carried out by the end of April and the final brief submitted to Premier Frost early in May. Those present at Tuesday's meeting including Mayors Par- ish and Tomlin. Reeves Arm- strong and Fry, with Councillor Jenkins of Toronto Township and Mr. Black of Toronto Gore also agreed to meet with any of the civic leaders of the other muni- cipalities among the 13 to ex- plain the actions in full detail.
