She will bring in a complete report on the situation at a future council meeting. At a recent meeting council passed a motion appoint- ing the Building Inspector as En- forcement Officer. Council gave tentative approval to a $150,000. debenture issue for an addition to MacKillop Public School. On motion of Reeve Haggart Council will present a resolution to the Mayors' & Reeve’s Assoc. asking that all municipal pur- chases be exempt from sales tax and custom duties. It was agreed to construct san- itary sewer and pavement on Newkirk Road as a Local Im- provement. “I hope the work will be done this year" said Reeve Haggart. Vaughan Council asked a joint meeting to consider the request of a local ambulance operator for municipal assistance. It was stat- ed that although legal advice was that it is not legal to subsidize such a, service council will meet with Vaughan to discuss the mat- ter. ' The Town Hall will be flood- lighted at a cost of $232.18. "I think it’s good advertising for Richmond Hill” said Councillor Broadhurst. On motion of Reeve Haggart Chairman of the Works Commit- tee it was decided to pave Cros- by Avenue. The provincial grant on this work will be $27,000. and the town’s share of $28,000. Will be paid from the Number 3 dc- count. Councillor Broadhurst op- posed the motion stating he didn’t. think the money should be taken from the No. 3 account. loEal Recreation Committee Councillor Bradstock, Parks Chairman. while expressing sup- port for the project suggested the plan for such a building should be part of a new Community Centre. He said the park area west of the arena suggested at a former meeting is the only play- ground arear in the centre part of town. ' Council passed a resolution ex- pressing disfavor with a “penny arcade" attraction at the Rich- mond Hill Fair. Reeve Haggart said there is a fine line of divis- ion between art and pornography. “How did you know about it?” asked Councillor Broadhurst. “I had a complaint from a parent,” said the Reeve. On motion of Councillor Mrs. Southweli approval in principle was voted by council with details of location left to negotiation between the Parks Committee and Curtain Club representatives. Reeve Haggart wanted the Po- lice Cruiser painted with the name “Richmond Hill Police Dept.” He said he felt strongly all police vehicles should be plainly'marked. It was said the Police Chief doesn’t share this view. “I think the Chief's recom- mendation should be accepted" said Councillor Whillans. On mo- tion of Councillor Broadhurst the matter was referred to Police Committee. 0n the matter of pay for cross- ing guards Deputy-reeve Tinker said he thought the Reeve didn’t understand the situation when it was previously discussed. “The adjustment in rate of pay was made so as to treat all the same" said Mr. Tinker. Councillor Broadhurst. pointed out that the Deputy-reeve should not be sing- led out for criticism as the change was made on the unani- mous recommendation of the Po- lice Committee and adopted _un- animously by council. Council gave unanimous appro- val~of an application of the R0- man Catholic Separate School Board that the town annex four acres from Vaughan Township for a school site. The proposed site is in the Griffin sub-division just North of MacKillop School. , On motion of Councillor Broad- hurst and Deputy-reeve Tinker the Bell Telephone Co. will be advised that in council’s opin- ion the proposed rates for Toâ€" ronto calling service are too high. The June session of York County Council opened Tuesday. Two minutes silence was observ- ed for the late Lea Glover. de- puty-reeve of North Gwillimbury. who recently lost his life in a tragic motor accident. Rev Jos. Dales introduced the new Deputy-reeve Frank Ken- nington. On 20th May the 11th and 5th Brownie Packs, joined together to hold a mother and daughter pot luck supper. Honoured guests were the Rev.

Councillor Bradstock pointed out that if council reserved the land for such use the owners could demand that the town make‘ immediate purchase. , Cotincillor Whillans admitted that while such development might be very desirable it wasn’t very practical at the present time. house A motion by Reeve Haggart was carried that a permit\be granted provided the proposed building conforms‘ with existing by laws. â€"Mayor Tomlin s‘uggested the applicants confer with the Plan- ning Board at the next meeting.
