Haggart in the chair reviewed the history of the Beverley drainage project. He said council considers it a most urgent problem but still is wait- ing Municipal Board approval to proceed with, the work. He pointed out that last year council established the policy of paying for storm drainage on a local improvement basis. In ar- eas directly benefiting there is a levy of $5. per foot frontage. and ‘in areas indirectly benefitâ€" ing a levy of $2.00 per foot frontage. The balance is paid by a general levy over the whole town. This works out at near a fifty-fifty split between the area and the general town levy. The Reeve said in this respect Bev- erley Acres area would be treat- ed exactly the same as other parts of the town. Wherever storm Sewers are installed in the town this 1! the method of pay- ment. Crosby Heights Ratepayers Protest In answer to a question, the Reeve said the quarter million dollar Beverley Acres drainage scheme would include most of Beverley Acres, all of Crosby and about one-third of Richmond Acres. Deputy-reeve Tinker said as far as most members of the pres- ent council are concerned, “we inherited this problem". He pointed out that there were no strings attached to early pay- ments by the subdivider of $500 per lot; Councillor Broadhurst contend- ed the people of Beverley Acres were short-changed when land set aside {or parks was given or sold for school sites. Councillor Broadhurst asked when the special committee ap- pointed by council to investigate the Beverley Acres drainage problem will present its report. Councillor Howard Whillans, the committee chairman, said he hoped it would be by midsummer. Reeve Haggart asked the dele- gation spokesman to present his brief in writing so it can be con- sidered in detail by council mem- bers and he gave assurance it would be on the agenda for con- sideration at an early meeting of council. . Referring to the Special coun- cil committee investigating the Beverley Acres drainage. Mr. Smith said he thought it was un- fair of council to “pass the buck" and make Councillor Whillans, a new member. chairman of the committee. Mr. Smith said Mayor Tomlin was a member of council when the subdivision agreement was signed. “That’s Why I wish he were here tonight”. Councillor Broadhurst said he asked in February for an ac- counting of the No. 2 and No. 3 account. “When will it be ready?" he asked. He was told it would be ready in about a week. The number 2 and number 3 accounts are special accounts for the $500. per lot assessment paid by sub- dividers. Councillor Mrs. Southwell said older residents of Richmond Hill are now paying enormous taxes due to the new subdivision de- velepmenAtrs. N. L. Brown and Mr. Hender- son appeared for the Sheppard & Gill Lumber Co., asking per- mksion to build a new sales room and office on property re- cently purchased next to the ex- isting lumber yard on Centre St. East. On motion of Councillor Broadhurst and Councillor Whil- lans the request was referred to the Planning Board. Roy McBrien who is seeking a $100. monthly subsidy for an am- bulance service stated Vaughan is willing to co-operate and pay an equal subsidy. Reeve Haggart said council has already expressed a willingness to 'llscuss the mat- ter but is awaiting word from Vaughan. The Reeve said the soil- citor's advice was that the town could not legally subsidize an ambulance service. However, it could be .done by the County Health Unit and Richmond Hill could bear the cost. Counci‘ members seemed willing to pa) the $100. per month subsidy pro- vided in legal method could be found. There was mention of the possibility of Markham Twp. co- operating. of the new High School. Coun- cil decision was deferred until a later date. The site considered for the new church contains two acres and the purchase price was mentioned as in the neighbour- hood ot 521.000. _ N. A. Todd and Rev. Mr. Tub- by appeared on behalf of the Lutheran congregation request for water and Sewer service to a new church on a site on the eastrslde of Bayvlew just north Stephen Appleby, representing the Curtain Club thanked all members of council and especial- ly Councillors J. W. Bradstock and Mrs. Southwell for co-opera- tion in the matter of securing a site for the proposed new build- ing. It was agreed the site will be on the recently acquired park land on Crosby Avenue. A by-iaw was passed amending the ofiicial plan to designate the north-east corner of Newkirk Dr. and South Taylor Mills as com- mercial so the land may be sold for a service station and the pro- ceeds used to purchase park sites. Another amendment designated the rear of the service station on Harding Avenue as residential rather than commercial as re- quested recently by home owners in the area. Both amendments now must be approved by the On- tario Municipal Board. Council passed a byâ€"law ex- propflating 4.7 acres on Crosby Avenue for use as park land. The purchase will be no added but- mun. CLASSIFIEDS PHONE TU. 4-1105 den to the taxpayer as the funds necessary will come 1mm the special funds provided for this purpose by subdividers' agree- ments. Councillor Howard Whillans pointed out that members of the Richmond Hill Planning Board are paid at the rate of $12 per meeting and not $16 per meeting as reported in iapt‘week's issue. Deputy-reeve Tinker introduc- ed the question of refuse collec- tion. The Works Dept. in the past has collected refuse put out by householders which could not be taken in the regular garbage col- lection. The demand for the ser- vice grew and grew until it be- came an expensive item in the works budget. Now council is trying to devise a method of cur- tailing the service to keep ex- penditure within reasonable bounds. Mr. Tinker thought householders should cooperate 8: try to get rid of much of the stuff by other channels. Council- lor Bradstock said there should be a limit on what is put out. He said he saw a chesterfleld, two chairs and a bunch of boxes in front of one house. A staggered system of collection may be de- vised. On motion of Councillors Mrs. Lett did not propound any platitudes. nor tell us the reason for her longevity â€"- but she exud- ed such a simple dignity and grace within. that the serenity of her life shone forth from her smiling blue eyes and was appar- ent in the beauty of her smile. And when we asked to hear her formula for a long and happy life she said, “There was nothing unusual, the only unusual part is that I’m still here, while my friends have gone on ahead." "The Liberal" joins her family and friends in saying, "Hapr Birthday" to Mrs. Lett - but more than this, we would like to add a special thank-you to this gentle lady, whom we visited re- cently, for during our interview we discovered we were in return receiving a blessing, such as our forebears must have received from th_e patriarch: of old._ Born in Tosorontia, Ontario, in 1859. Cecila Sophia Fisher, she lived there with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, until the age of ten years, “then we mov- ed to Alliston and I attended school there, later attending Whitby Ladies’ College." After graduation Celia Fisher married Frederick Lett, the aon of a C01- lingwood clergyman and they moved to Barrie where she spent the biggest part of her life. Mr. Lett was an insurance broker in Barrie until his death.

It was stated that he had resigned without stating any reason. Reeve W. J. Haggai-t gave no- tice of motion that at the next meeting he will move the adop- tion of a rule of procedure which will provide council members may speak only once on a motion. He said this is the accepted pro~ cedure at County Council and that it works well. Is there any time limit? asked Mrs. Southwell. Councillor Broadhurst said he intends to bring in a motion to lay down a set of regulations for administration and procedure. Co'uncilior Broadhurst asked what progress is being made in getting action on the Beverley Acres drain project. “We heard menacing sounds of what we were going to do when we went to the Premier to get action. Have we seen the Premier?" he asked. Following our visit, Miss L. G. Mackie, superintendent of the has ital took us on a tour of he Villa and we chatted with most of the iourtyJour patients and met some of the staff of for- ty, who live and work in the lovely former old mansion. which was converted into a private hos~ pital (our years ago through the agency of Miss Mackle and Mr. D.

Councillor Mrs. Southwell's re- port a! the Personnel Committee recommended no change in as- sessor Cable's salary. Mr. Cable appeared at the last meeting re- questing an increase. Miss Mackie explained that 42 youngsters from the Bloor View Hospital, Torontmwere expected soon for their annual picnic. Then she explained that many of the patients we had met that day came to live at the Villa as soon as they turned 16 years, and could no longer be accommodated in childen’s hospitals for the in- curable. And we were glad to know that these young teenagers -- and the older patients too -- who have suffered much and been more or less cut off from the outside world â€" chiefly because they were at some time victims in motor car accidents and are now crippled in body but healed in mind an soul - will live out their lives in such pleasant surround- ings, since everything possible to make their afflictions less of a burden, is being done for them at The Villa by a cheerful, compe- tent and understanding group. which is the staff.
