Did you hear about the girl who turned down her fiance's proposal of marriage in February saying that he would have to save a thousand dollars first? Coming from Northern Ireland to Canada in 1927, James Ham- ilton entered the service )f the Oritarlo Department of Health in the beginning of 1928. and was a member of the staff at the On- No? Well . . .. Easter came along and she was strolling down the avenue with him arm in arm in the Easter Parade. He had on his freshly cleaned suit and coat (from Barth's of course) and she was dressed in all her finery. The sun was shining and the tempera- ture was very balmy indeed. saved?” she asked when he re- peated his February proposal. “About $35.00," he replied. "Well," she said at last with a sigh, “I guess that's near enough." "Official retirement" from an active life of 32 years of contin- uous service with the Provincial Government, Friday. April lst, 1960 really marked the beginning of a “second new life" for Mr. James Hamilton, resident of Richmond Hill for more than 30 years. Yes indeed. "Jim" has already made his second start with work in hand -â€" starting right'in on various projects, and it is his intention of building a new home this coming year for airs.

You see he had his Spring outfit cleaned well in ad- vance before the usual Easter rush at our plant and then took his time picking out some tasteful accessories for it. Smart boy!

School Levy (Continued from page 1) for a storm sewer had been re- ceived from residents on Lynett Crescent. There would be addi- tional costs if curbs and road widening was desired. The Works Commissioner said that other municipalities had faced similar problems. Much of the trouble arose from the fact the town had mushroomed so fast. He admitted there was an acute situation so far as Bever- ley Acres was concerned. But these were growing pains. Works Chief Explains Councillor Whillans called upon the Works Commissioner to explain how the situation was going to be corrected Mr. Whalen then produced a large map and laying it out on the table in the Council Chamber where the meeting was being held, explained where the storm sewers would be located and demonstrated the total area which would be drained. He said the work would first be concen- trated on providing the storm sewers, this would be followed later by construction of curbs and road widening to bring the roads up to first class standards. He said the open ditches on Crosby avenue would disappear. Danger To Children A delegation from Kart Track & Sales Company led by a Mr. Kaminski sought permission to establish a junior race track for children with small cars capable of speeds up to 30 m.p.h. Loca- tion proposed was a site front- Langstaff area totalling ten acres. Council told the delegation this was a matter which should properly be presented to the Planning Board before it was brought to council.

Council told the delegation this was a matter which should properly be presented to the Planning Board before it was brought to council. The board would have to consider the ap- plication and forward it to coun- cil with recommendations. Council agreed to an applica- tion for the microfilming of Mun- icipal records. Next Monday the planning board will meet in the council chambers at 7.30 p.m. and will be followed at approximately 8.30 pm. by the regular council meeting. The planning board meeting is open to the public and all members of council have indicated they are delighted to see members of the public in at. tendance to watch proceedings of either the planning board or The subject of the proposedof council. Mrs. Fraser then remarked that these ditches explained her own attendance. She thought they were dangerous to the child- ren going to and from Crosby Public School and she asked if a guard could be provided to watch the children. Mr. Whalen said on- ly that day he had stopped to pull a child out of the ditch and that his department could provide a guard. Reeve Haggaret suggest- ed this should be done and that one of the men working in the area could be detailed for this duty. The Works Commissioner agreed. Keep Children Off Road Clerk Jim MacDonald inform- ed council that the high school district levy for 1960 would be $287,000 up on last year’s $205,- 000. School population has in- creased and is one of main causes of the increase. The levy represents a rate of three mills. March Relief Costs The Deputy Clerk, Ted Jac_k- man told council that relief to families in the township during March had amounted to $2353.20. Children’s Race Track . Council is improving on its timing and the meeting com- menced promptly at 8 pm. as scheduled, and adjourned forty- five minutes later having dealt with the nine items on the short- est agenda of the year to date. High School Levy Up Reeve Haggart added that the real answer was for parents of pre-teen children to keep their children off the road as much as possible since the danger exist- ed at all times not just when children were going to and from school. Deputâ€"reeve Tinker added that the ditches which remained after the corrective work was completed would run to the nearest catch basins. Lack Of Public Interest Mr. Harris complained at the apparent lack of public interest -â€"pointing out that the attend- ance at this meeting was dis- mally small. He said that it made him sick when he thought of the parade of people knocking at his door at midnight seeking loan of a pump when flood con- ditions prevailed. Deputy Reeve Complains (by Paul Delmer) Members of Vaughan Township Council exchanged bouquets with members of the public at Monday’s Counc1l meeting. Said Reeve John Perry, “It’s a good turn-out to- night”. He was referring to the public gallery. Eighteen people were seated in the gallery to watch the night’s pro- ceedings. “It’s more than voted in the last election,” added the reeve humorously. Ratepayers from the Normaple Road area told council they appreciated what was being done to relieve the distress they had suffered as a result of snow and flood. They hoped they would be able to get through to their homes by car within a week. The reeve replied that the residents of the area had shown a great deal of tolerance. He told them that some of them were luckier than one member of council, Councillor Jesse Bry- son who has to leave his car in King Township and proceed to his home from there by tractor. Good humour reigned throughout the meeting with council and public on the best of terms. Deputy-reeve Tinker com- mented that “this is too often the case with all public meetings and with the meetings of council. We have a council chamber with accommodation for 50 people to watch proceedings but there is seldom more than one or two people in the public gallery. People should know they are free to attend all council meet- ings. He said that many weeks Only Six People Councillor Ralph was also re- quested to provide a report in the matter of water supplies to Pine Bury Co-operative, for con- sideration at the next meeting. Next Meeting Other points which came out at the meeting came from the Works Commissioner who told those present that every effort had been made and was continu- ing to obtain some relief in the cost of the work. Approaches had been made to the Highways Department. The department would not, however, finance storm sewers. Efforts to obtain Council passed a motion made by Deputy-Reeve Vic Ryder, sec- onded by Councillor Bryson au- thorizing discussions with the Department of Highways to suggest access roads onto High- way 400 from King Townline at the 5th or 6th concessions, and provision for a half clover leaf on the Sherwood Side Road. there are no people In attend- ance. Last week was a record with four attending. He sug- gested to those present that they should pass on to other people the fact everyone was welcome to attend and that more people should do so and see where their money was going. Council have to appropriate a sizable amount this year and people should turn out to learn how and why this is done. an award under the drainageraici had been made and every other conceivable avenue had been ex- plored. Sidewalks Hayhoe Well was again discussed. Reeve Perry asked Councillor Bruce Ralph to bring a progress report before Council at its next meeting. He raised a laugh in the chamber when he remarked. to Councillor Ralph who is chair- man of the Water Committee. “If you want your name on a well this year, you must get on with it. It's an election year you know.” Highway 400 Access Reeve Haggart said installa- tion of sidewalks might be in- cluded in subdivision plans in the future. He advised property purchasers hire a lawyer before taking over and have realtors put all statements they make about future developments and improvements, etc.. in writing in the agreement. A lawyer would look after their interests . Too often people view a model home where there is no ditch outside and then pick out their lot from a map of the subdivision without actually seeing the land selected. The Works Commissioner told the meeting there were 38 miles of road in the Richmond Hill area with 72 miles of ditches. Report Will Inform Reeve Haggart said the Budget Report of the Works Department would provide inter- ested people with most of the information they might want to know regarding this whole prob- lem. He suggested the report when available would answer most questions. “Right__WheI-e We Started” Winding up the meeting. Councillor Whillans remarked that the committee had learned nothing to assist it but those who had attended now knew more about the problems involved. Reeve Haggart added, “We're looking for help. but we have heard nothing to help us.” Coun- cillor Whillans concluded, “Yes. we end right where we started.” D’Alton McLaughlin F.T.C.M. L. Mus. W.U.
