Reeve Clark; “It's a different case. The yard proposed is just an untidy mess; something we wouldn‘t want." Councillor Watson said Dr. Brown's clinic would be well ta- ken care of and would not pres- ent the same problem a lum- bel yard would. CouncillJr MacNeil: “We have not apprrved the first applica- tion â€" tut even if we do this doesn’t mean we can't turn down this second one." Coundllor Watson: “We are not apyroving change of zoning for the first application, but the second application would change agricultural zoning to commercial." ' A request for a letter of tol- erance to build a veterinary hos- pital and clinic in an agricultural zone (Lot 20, the 3rd Concession Markham Township) met with mixed feelings when it came be- fore council on Monday. The reeve thought it would depend on the size of the animals being doctored, if there were to be horses and cattle a stable would be required and the land in question is apparently less than the required 100 feet from the Don Mills Road _for building. Whm the next item on the ag- enaa vas presented, a request for re-zoxing by Varamae Construc- tion â€" who asked that the Of- ficial Plan be amended at 16th Avexue and the C.N.R. tracks (nov Agricultural), to allow him to lave a lumber business In that are â€"â€" this request, which had alnady been refused by the lening Board, was turned down fhtly by council â€"â€" causing De- ptty-reeve Dean to remark, “Here we are, Mr. Reeve. We are enforcing the bylaw with this nan and breaking it for some- one else.” Deputy-reeve Dean questioned the ‘stretcbing of the bylaw interpretation' saying, “In my opinion, these bylaws should be engorcedug‘r done away with." Councllbr Watson suggested 18 months be given to Dr. Brown in a lette’: of tolerance, after the deputy-rave had moved that a letter of tolerance for one year be glvm, but asked that the letter be held up until the clerk had discussed it with Township Sollcltcr J. D. Lucas. Th: Deputy-reeve moved that the zoning bylaw be enforced. Twp. Can't Agree On Zoning Bylaws Where does the tax dollar go in Richmond Hill? Reeve James Haggart gave a break- down last Thursday evening when he addressed a group of South Taylor Mills Drive citizens at the Beverley Acres Public School Audi- torium. He said: “63 per cent of the taxes gathered are paid to the three local school boards; $116,000.00 is paid to the County of York and tlon Authority; 25 per cent $9,000.00 to the Conserva- is left for other town uses." And. said Reeve Haggart: “Ninety three per [cent of our itaxes come through N.H.A." '.In support of his motion Reeve Haggart said he was concerned with the bickering and antics of present Com- missioners which he referred to as the T '1‘ C zoo. xichmond Hill Town Coun- cil Monday night authorized tire solicitor to take the ne- cessary steps to present a private bill to the Ontario Legislature to confirm the municipality’s agreement with thevTTC for bus service on Yonge Street. .At the previous meeting Reeve W.

VERN HOOLEY, Prop. Richmond Hill Police said that no charges were laid against the driver of the car, Richard Hoidge of 334- Sugar Maple Lane, Rich- mond Hill. Chief of Police R. P. Robbins said: “Parents can't be too patient and persistent in teaching their children to exer- cise every precaution when near a busy street. I know it isn't al- ways easy because a little child hasn’t reached the point where it can analyze the consequences of a hasty act like adults. But there's no royal road to making a little child safety cOnscious.

Most of the expenditure is connected with planned pro~ jects, such as .the grading and filling and gravelling of Carrville Road and the paving of Kirk Drive, the installing of culverts and pipelines. But the road bud- get for Carrville Road, which was set at $26,330 earlier this year, will attain almost double that fig- ure. $51,006, when paving is com- pleted, necessitating very careful Héh'derson Elgin 10th .

Vaughan Township Council was not unpleasantly surprised at its Monday meeting to discover that it had the authority to decide traffic policy for certain roads, and promptly made use of this authority. Henceforth the maxi- mum weight of vehicles on Carr- ville Road West, Crestwood Road and Elgin Mills West will be 5,000 pounds, save and except where home deliveries are being made. Richmond Hill housewives (and husbands too) have the opportun- ity of learning more about the finer points and economics of cooking at the free IGA Fun Fair Cooking School being held in the Lions Community Hall, Centre Street. This decision resulted from a letter from the Department of Highways which said the depart- ment was rejecting Crestwood Road (on the west side of Yonge east of Bathurst) as a Class ‘B’ highway because it has recently been paved. The department said, however, that the' township had the authority to term it restricted as it is a residential road and Final classes are being con- ducted by Fun Fair’s Jane Mr. And Mrs. Are InVited Attend Cooking School Province Says Vaughan Can Decide Traffic Policy Of Certain Roads set its own vehicle weight policy Thornhill Paving handling of funds and no extra road expenditures elsewhere in the township for the balance of the year -â€" unless such work is already included in the budget.

Clerk-treasurer Jim McDonald reported that as of August 81, 1960, the toWnship had spent $240,000.00 on roads and that the Department of Highways was prepared to pay 80 per cent of its 50% share in the form of an interim subsidy. to ease the loan- responsibility of the Township.

Commenting on road work being undertaken on the 10th conces- sion. Councillor Watson asked if they were spending more money there than they would get back from theHydro. Mr. Crisp said the Hydro have arranged to cover their share of the cost, The clerk also'lnformed council that many fences and hydro and telephone poles were found to be on the road line “some as much as five feet", and that they all had to be moved at a 50-50 cost to the township and the owners. Caught Driving Receives 15 Days Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean said: “The 10th should be taken over by the county and they should continue Highway No. 47 right down 'to Highway No. 401 to relieve traffic through Stouff- ville and Ringwood. this would relieve many bottlenecks." He suggested it should be taken ov- er by the county now, "before it gets built up more on the 10th.” Following is the report on road expenditures. The $6,419 balance shown will be absorbed by an approximate expenditure of $8,000 on Dudley and Elgin Streets before the end of the year. 83,781 51,006 -24,676 7,442 8,151 1,681 7,576 3,183 742 43,383 14,239 -3,886 -4,493 6,419 3,834 Stanvern Developments Limit- ed re-submitted a plan for a sub- division considered by the board last May and June.
