Acres Drainage- CoundHor Broadhurst Advocates General Levy At the August 10 Municipal Bd. hearing in Richmond Hill, which resulted in board approval of the method proposed to pay for the projected drainage system 11 Beverley Acres (in the amount of $248,000), Councillor Tom Broad- hurst, one of the chief spokesmen for Beverley Acres residents, pre- sented a 10-point submission to the board through Mr. Donald Plaxton, legal representative for the Beverley Acres Ratepayers Association. The submission call- ed for a general levy against all taxpayers to pay for the project and an alternative should the general levy proposal be rejected. To keep the record straight, “The Liberal" publishes the subâ€" mission. The summary of the lengthy submission reads as follows: “In conclusion I ask the board to rule that the cost of the project be raised by general tax levy over the town at large because: (A) The work is not truly a local improvement but the rec- tification of an error for which council and therefore the whole town is responsible. (B) Because the alleged prece- dent said to have been set by council bears no particular re- lation to this set of conditions; (C) Because there is strong pre- sumptive evidence of a conspir- acy of silence on the part of council on matters significantly affecting the proposed method of payment; (D) Because all that a 50-50 method of payment has to recommend it is that it has me SOUND of fairness in a situation where nobody knows what to do, or finds politically unpalatable what natural justice indicates should be done. (Drainage area residents, besides paying their exclusive 50 per cent of the cost will also have to pay their share of the 50 per cent raised by gen- eral levy, so that 50-50 will be- come more like 70-30 against them); (E) Because having over- taxed the area atrociously for whole town, council has dissi- pated over the whole town, as- sets the justest and most natural use for which would have been payment for this drainage pro- ject; (F) Because having consis- tently applied the princtple of using subdividers donations for projects benefiting the whole town the same principle must be extended to paying for work for which the monies could other- wise be used; (G) Because the poor drainage conditions and re- peated adverse publicity concern- ing them over four years has al- ready cost the area residents more in reduced real estate val- uation than they should ever have been asked to pay at any time. Alternative If the board does not see fit to accept my argument completely, I ask alternately that; (A) The board direct that the $43,922.90 shown as remaining in No. 2 Ac- count be applied in relief of that part of the payment asseSSed against the drainage area; (B) That it direct that such sum as it sees fit and just be transferred from No. 3 Account to No. 2 Account in recognition of the fact that those contributing to No. 2 Account have provided exâ€" clusive municipal facilities which those contributing to No. 3 Ac- count enjoy but for which they have paid nothing and that such sum also be applied in relief of that part of the payment assessed against the drainage area and; (C) That it direct that any saving over the estimate be applied in relief of the sum assessed against the drainage area. It may be pointed out here that during the hearing it was revealed that of the $43.922.90 mentioned above as remaining in the No. 2 Account, that $22,000 has been earmarked for altera- tions to the Municipal Building and part of the remainder has been earmarked for projects in Beverley Acres. expenditures benefiting the _______.__ : Police Chief Robbins-4 Denies Dog Summons Were Sent In Error “There is absolutely no as- sumption on the part of the pol- ice that a person who paid a dog tax last year owns a dog this year." In these words, Police Chief R. P. Robbins voiced strong ex- ception to last week’s story in “The Liberal", which detailed “beefs' by citizens about dog taxes. Chief Robbins said that with the exception of two cases in which the police erred, and made corrections, no person this year received a summons unless he or she had an unregistered dog. Records show that last week there were 71 court convictions on charges of having failed to register dogs, and two charges were with drawn by the police de- partment. “Every one of these 71 persons who were convicted received plenty of grace before being summarised," Chief Rob- bins said. He stressed the fact that in all cases this year sum- monses are being served person- ally by his officers. "It simply is not true to say that people whose dog, registered last year but either killed, sold, lost or stray- ed since have been wrongfully summonsed this year." He reiter- ated that this year no one has received a summons unless he actually owned a dog and had failed to register by June 12, the deadline, at which time the first of about 400 owners began to be checked out by the police depart- ment. , The chief flatly denied that any- one this year had been hauled into court even though his dog had been killed months before. “The citizen who made this com- plaint to ‘The Liberal' had his years mixed up," the chief said. “Such cases may have occurred in the past but it certainly has not this year.” He said the suggestion that the police do more telephone work relative to finding out whether or not a person kept a dog might sound fine in theory. He said, “The person who made that suggestion is invited to spend a shift with my staff, and he’ll discover that none of the police officers have more time than is needed to attend to normal duties.” The personal check-out method, he said, rep- resented more conscientious ser- vice to the taxpayers than simple telephoning would. The chief admitted that no doubt many more persons will appear in court this year than those who already have paid their $10.00 and costs fines. “But the fault rests with the individual," he said. “We’ve extended every courtesy to them and have been lenient in the extreme." He said that when he reads a story such as appeared about his department last week he just ‘didn’t feel too good} From May, 1959 to May 1960, in Richmond Hill approximated 400 dogs were impounded by the enforement officer, and about 50 per cent of this number was de- stroyed.

E Vaughan Council THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, August 18, 1960 Province To Review Subsidy Policy By nd Of The Month Vaughan Township Council, at its regular Monday meeting, dealt with 1960 r oad paving, Thornhill street paving and a future road paving program in that order. A letter from the Department of Highways said that it would review its subsidy policy by the end of the month which means that council will hold in abeyance its proposed roads program for some weeks to come. Although a short- age of provincial government roads money exists, council is hopeful that its supplementary bylaw, covering $330,000 and passed early in July, will The regional district en receive favorable study. gineer’s office of the Depart- ment of Highways informed council it was in agreement with the necessity for a pav ing program in Thornhill but that the matter would now go to the chief municipal en- gineer’s office. Vaughan would like to undertake a surface treatment project in Thornhill in the amount of approxi- mater $43,000. Road Paving Relative to the future road paving program, Dcpuiy-reeve Vic Ryder said that the Depart- ment of Highways apparently would not commit itself to a year to year subsidy covering an ex- haustive survey but would agree to subsidy in terms of what it could afford from time to time. The survey would cost in the neighbourhood of $10,000, of which $5,000 would be forthcom- ing from the highways depart- ment. All council members were in favour of entering into talks with the department about the matter. Mr. Ryder pointed out that the present policy of stop- gap roads spending was imprac- tical and expensive. Councillor Bruce Ralph termed the study ‘essential’ while Councillor Jesse Bryson felt the study could be cheap in the long run. While originally the proposal was for a thorough survey of the north-south arteries, it is felt that the highways department would undertake a survey of the east- wcst roads as well. thus cleaning up the entire matter at once. Council wondered whether such a survey might commit possible new councils to a stated policy arising out of firm findings, but Councillor Ralph was of the op- inion that future councils would not be expected to carry out a policy which, in the light of charliging needs could be imprac- tica . It was agreed that the survey had been allowed to lag too long. Councillor Bryson said that the survey would constitute a blue- print for future governing bod- ies. “It would be a badly needed guide,” he said. Mr. Ryder added “The survey will also have the efiect of advising us as to stop- gap measures and in this respect alone it should mean a saving of the taxpayers’ money.” Deputy- reeve Ryder, seconded by Coun- cillor Ralph, moved that action be taken. Works Chairman Haggartâ€" Expect Beverley. Acres Drainage Scheme To Be Completed By December The Beverley Acres drainage project, to cost $248,000. should be completed by approximately the first of Decem- ber, according to Richmond Hill Works Commission Chair- man Reeve James Haggart. He told “The Liberal” that so far as construction is concerned, tenders were called on Tuesday (August 16) and will close at 5 p.m. August 29. “It is a condition of the tender that work is to proceed immediately,” he said. Under normal circumstances, there- fore, the job should be finished in three months. ’ Mr. Haggart also said: “Council is presently making inquiries whether some of this work will qualify under the winter works program for a 75 per cent subsidy on labour costs.” The storm sewer itself is be- ing built of sufficient size and placed deep enough so that at some future date, providing peti- tions are received from the resi- dents, the entire deferred-benefit area may be storm sewered. “This phase of the work, in my opinion, justifies the deferred- benefit area charge," Mr. Hag- gart said. He himself is in the deferred-benefit area. Mr. Haggart clarified his rea- sons why he considers the charge- method fair. He pointed out that the same basis of charge, a 50- 50 Split between Beverley Acres and all rateable taxpayers in “The Hill", was applied to the Markham Road sewers. In that instance, the charge of $5.00 per foot frontage was levied against ratepayers whose properties abut Markham Road while those whose properties drain to Markham Road will pay $2.00 per foot. The same method was applied in the installation of the storm sew- er on Crosby Avenue from the railway track west to Yonge St. In this case there was no deferr- ed-benefit area so everyone con- cerned paid $5 per foot frontage. Mr. Haggart continued: “It is a policy of council that the de- ferredâ€"benefit area residents in Beverley Acres will never have to pay more than $5.00 per foot frontage whenever storm sewers are installed. At such time. an added $3 per foot charge only will be made." How do the frontage charges work out in actual practice mon- eyâ€"wise? Mr. Haggart gave sev- eral examples. “In the immediate- benefit area a lot with 50 feet of frontage will mean a cost to the property owner of $21.80 per year" he explained. To arrive at this figure you multiply the frontage (50 feet) by $5.00, add the interest charges which work out to approximately 75 per cent of the footage charge and divide the result by 20, the number of years the debentures issue will run. In other words, 50 by $5 gives you $250; add interest char- ges of $186 for a total of $436 and divide this by 20 for the net an- nual charge of $21.80. Interest here is computed at 61/4 per cent. On the some basis which gives us $21.80, the property owner in the immediate-benefit area with only 37 feet of frontage will pay annually $11.60. In the deferred-benefit area, a 50-foot frontage lot will cost $8.75 per year and a 37-foot frontage lot $4.65. It seems to be the view of most people that these charges con- stitute a worthwhile investment and will be more than balanced by the increase in real estate val- ue resulting from the drainage scheme. It is further pointed out that the corrected flooding condi- tions will obviate many a head- ache for those who now, each year, battle flooded basements and soggy grounds. ‘dee ” at “Bee Day” -- invasion by an- other army of. bees â€" was staged on Saturday the 13th. This time the swarm invaded Richmond Hill’s “Main Street" with the buzzing hordes visible just a few feet from the side windows of “The Liberal". The bees were apparently attracted by the pos- sibility of safe, warm winter quarters in what was the old 1150 years) historic “Dominion House", now the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Neal and fam- ily. located over their Dodge- DeS'oto showrooms on Yonge St. Once the scouting party of bees had located a crack in the outer wall over an upper window. the Qusen Bee was safely escorted in, through the crack into the space between the partitions and joists. then the main army poured in. in a seemingly unending stream. Lacking means of a detailed count, the swarm was estimated at about "enough to fill three bushel baskets". Trying to take a shortcut, some of the buzzing visitors poured through a win- dow into Jim Neal's bedroom, ’Wz/fl-am Vim/i causing him to vacate the room for 24 hours. Consultation with a local beeâ€" keeper revealed that the swarm would eventually perish from starvation, as they had left their migration too late, only two weeks remaining for the bees to gather in their supply of food for the winter season. As an alter- nate solution, this writer sugges- ted to his wife that the swarm be given refuge at their home and provided with honey, etc., until next season â€" which sug- gestion was promptly (and de- cidedly) answered with “If your bees come IN â€" then I go OUTI" Meanwhile, the bee colony in the Neal's home is travelling in and out, industriously working, racing against time. apparently but futilcly endeavouring to col- lect and build up a food supply, Bee experts have not suggested any practical way to their hosts. the Neals. to entice the bees out. malathion or chlordane through the entrance. i 1 .
