For Markham Township the vision contained over 3,000 cle- mentary school children housed- in two hundred classrooms (one hundred and fifty more than to- day) at an investment by tax- payers of two million dollars. For Markham Village and the] southwest corner subdivisions of the township even more inten- sive school building was forcast. “Budget Night in 1980 will be different from 1960,” predicted Dr. Ridge as he looked out over the several hundred men and women at present guiding the ed- ucation of 4,761 children in one hundred and fifty five classrooms in York 3 district.

Richmond 'Hill, Woodbridge, and Vaughan township were present with their inspector, Mr. F. J. Hodge. Mr. Hallman acted as Master of Ceremonies for the Occasion which began with a turkey oin- ner served by the Womens’ In- :stitute at Buttonville and which was providedthrough the gener- osity of Markham Township l Council. In attendance from the Council were Reeve W. L. Clark. Deputy- reeve W. Dean, Councillor Law- son Mumberson. and Councillor S. Watson. Mr. Jones was introduced by Township Clerk, Mr. H. Crisp who called Mr. Jones, “The best in his field.” Mr. Hodge introduc- ed Dr. Ridge. In his short talk Mr. said, “The general school popula- tion will increase at a greater rate than the nopulation growth " He predicted that a larger numâ€" ber will attend high school in the next twenty years. According to Mr. Jones figures the public school population is expected to increase 73%, the separate school population 96%. and the high school population 156% in the area covered by his planning report, especially in the fringe area of Etobicoke, Scarborough, and NOrth York. Mr. Jones believes each local municipality can get its own pic- Jones thought of as long term budget- ting. He forcast intensive develop- ment in the south west corner of the township which is now a- greed to by the Metropolitan Planning Board and anticipated industrial and residential devel- opment on the Langstaff Jail Farm property. Mr. Jones told the gathering the province had turned down the suggestion the property be purchased for use as a park.\West and east side subdivisions are planned for Markham Village also. Planning ahead, Mr. Jones claimed, will settle a pattern of urbanization, .nd the method it is to be serviced. This will act as a stabilizer for growth in this practical suggestions for school planning. Dr. Ridge was of the opinion children in elementary grades shouldn’t‘have to walk over a mile to school, or walk across a major concession road. In North York a concession block, approx- imately 100 acres. is taken as a planning unit. The speaker suggested that the subdivisions planned for the southwest corner of Markham township could be taken as such there. and that 18%, or 3.600. of these would be elementary school I children. Six schools should be planned with sites purchased in advance. he believed. These sites should the at central locations, three on the west side and three on the east. The schools should be 16 rooms, expandable to 18 rooms. In the center of some of the blocks would be a 15 acre site for a secondary school for 1,000 pup- ils. The figure for approximate .St30lldal‘y school population is ‘800 pupils. This would mean ser- vice could be provided beyond a concession block for secondary pupils. When a board later finds there is to be industrial development where a school site has been purchased (as at the southeast corner of Leslie. Finch, Warden and Sheppard) the budget will not suffer as the land probably has risen in value and could be liquidated. In such an instance Dr. Ridge remarked it would be necessary to construct the other schools of eighteen rooms. ‘ He conceded it would it be impossible to purchase all the necessary sites at one time but that such purchases could be budgetted for over a period of, ‘time. _ As an example of the thriftiâ€"‘ ness of buying school sites before i prices go up. Dr. Ridge said land I at Steeles Ave. which was $5,000 an (acre in 1955 was selling to» day at $8,000 an acre. New Flying School A At locust Hill The last opportunity for over~ 33-year-olds to start government subsidized private flying trainâ€" ing, comes before the end of this ‘. month. Any person who registers for a private pilot’s training course be- fore March 31 will receive $100 from the government to offset his personal costs â€" if he completes his training within a year. After March 31, only persons 33 and under will be eligible for the $100 grant, This is the re- sult.of-a new government policy adopted this year. One of York County’s neWest and best equipped clubs at Mark: ' ham-Toronto Airport, Locust Hill. is encouraging over-33â€"year-old flying enthusiasts to register be- fore the end of the month. The airport, financed by a group of York County business- men and women, has just opened with a charter license for the whole of North America, a flying school license and two hard run- ways. one 3,000 feet in length. the other a half mile. l 1 bove are seen iwho retired recently after resrdents for 34 year‘. In,1925, when the Espey’s‘ op- ened the‘post office in their store on the south-west corner of the Elgin sideroad they served a total of - twelve families. In 1959 they sorted mail for over 200 families in the district. ~ In 1925 the Espeys ran a groc- ery store (now known as Ellis’) and the postal work was just a side line. They served in this dual capacity until 1939 when they rented out the grocery store to Joe Weber and his wife, built on the post office to the south of the store and continued to live in the house at the rear. Born in a log cabin on the second concession of Vaughan. 70 years ago, Mr. Espey is a well- known figure. not only in this community, but also in the Schomberg area, where he was employed by the Schomberg railway during the years 1914-21 as motorman and conductor over 14 miles of track. Alice Espey. his wife, was born in a log cabin just west of Chip St.. Elgin Mills. The Espeys have six chil- dren. Three daughters and one son were born in Schomberg and Toronto and two sons were born at Elgin Mills. In 1922 Air. Espey left the Schomberg railway to own and operate the first bus service that ran on Yonge St, from Elgin Mills to Toronto. The family moved to Markham in 1923. Mr. Espey starting a bus service there, but gave it up when they Mr. and Mrs. William “Bill” Espey, Retire After 34 YearsI s'ol‘flng mail for Elgin Mills bought their present home on January 1, 1925. Yonge St. was a cobblestone road in 1925 and the Toronto and York radial ran past the post office doors, to Lake Simcoe from Toronto. Situated on the Espey's house has a history of its own for it is 130 years old and was at one time the first tannery in this part of Ontario. It is the one building of its ‘time‘ that remains in that vicmity. “Thirty years ago on the north- west eorner of the Elgin used to be Sam Cliff's Blacksmith shop. where 90 horses could be seen each morning, standing around waiting to be shod," Mr. Espey said. as he reminisced about the past. "and on the northâ€"east cor- l i; . south-west ' corner ot the Elgin sideroad. the‘ her of the Elgin was an hotel owned by Reddy Joyce.“ For their first thirty years ii; the post Office the Espeys nev- er took more than a day or two at a time away from their posta. job. They kept the door oper. for mail from 8 am. until 6 pin. i six days a neck. But then I: be-l came statuatory law that all po> offices remain closed on Christ» mas and Next Year's Day and in 1956 for the first time they en~ joyed a QUIEL family Christmas with no interruptions. Originally a carpenter by trade. Mr. Espey plans :0 carry on with this work -- just to keep .husy.
