In reply to a question from the Reeve, Clerk Jim McDonald told ebuncil unemployment in the township during March this year was worse than during the same month last year. Councillor Anstey suggested to Vaughan Township Council Monâ€" day that he thought many of the fatal accidents at rail crossings :could be avoided by the installa- tion of STOP signs cacn side of the crossings. It was a simple sol- ution and he was surprised it had not been done. The Reeve agreed that it would be a cheaper form than the usual crossing signals. posit Council suggested the clerk investigate possibility of making it possible for taxpayers to pay taxes on a monthly basis. Coun- cillor Ralph said such a scheme had proven successful at Long Branch. The Reeve and Deputy- reeve said it would‘ reduce need for heavy loans by Council. The Clerk said he thought the sug- gestion worth investigation. Council agreed at its meeting Monday to continue its subsidy for feeding pheasants. To main- tain this form of wildlife. the De- partment of Lands and Forests lupplied chicks to council which were then boarded out, the town- ship providing feed and making a small payment for care. When fully grown the pheasants are released. Councillor Bryson said he could support this aspect of it but was opposed to providing pheasants for hunting purposes. Council was advised on Mon- day the township would be res- ponsible for 614% of cost of in- stallation of crossings at Steeles Avenue and for 25% of operat- ing costs thereafter. Vaughan Council was inform- ed Monday that its budget for road construction and main'en- ance for 1960 hadrbeen approved. .Total cost would be $165,000. Of this amount $30,000 was allo- cated for construction and $135.- 000 for maintenance. crossing."

Requests Consideration Reeve John Perry asked for the letter from Richmond Hill ;0 he conSidered again this week and requested Council to deemc whal action should be taken. Councillor “Not. Interested" Councillor Anstey immediately stated he was not interested in attending any meetings of the Committee. 'He would attend meetings on a Council level and where only elected Council mem- bers were represented. He criti~ cised the press for reporting his statements opposing the commit- tee claiming that the press had failed to state that Vaughan Council had always indicated it was willing to co-operate with other councils at council level. (This is an unjustified critimsm because at least so far as this newspaper is concerned, we have carefuly and laboriously reported fully and impartially all discus- sions and statements. When re- porting remarks made on the subject by members of Richmond Hill Council, it was pointed out that Vaughan Council had indi~ cated it would always be willing to discuss and to co-operate at Council level any matters of mu- tual interest.
