The findings of the committee after long months of study and consideration include four conclusions and ten recommendations, many of them dealing with future poli- cy regarding subdivisions. Several of the recommendations already have been adopted. One recommendation is that council not engage the engineering firm of Proctor & Red- fern for any future work in Richmond Hill.
