TOMLIN Mayor “COIN OPERATED | LAUNDRY gglALLENCOURT CENTRE Markham & Bayview Commissioner Roy Kennedy. of the Ontario Municipal Board, last Friday morning heard an appli- cation by the township for auth- ority to dispense with .a vote of the electors with respect to the paving jobs. The hearing took place at the Vaughan Municipal Building and there were no ob- jectors present. Appearing for Vaughan were the Engine-er. Keith Hopper and Solicitor Tom Fraser. The township spokesmen said that the two travel lanes are sub- ject to heavy traffic daily which constantly disturbs the gravel, making normal maintenance a heavy expense as well as a steady nuisance. It is proposed to widen the roads to provide a proper base for paving as soon as ground and weather conditions will permit next year. and to un- dertake needed drainage and re- grading work in the road areas. COIN OPERATED 7 Cost' of this project was not provided for in the current finan- cial estimates and normally would A major item of business fac- ing the new Vaughan Township Council next year will be the proposed $149,000.00 paving proj- ect in Thornhill. This project is designed to better the thorough- fares between Langstai’f Sideroad and Maple Sideroad between Concessions 1 and 2 and from No. 7 Highway to Hayhoe Ave. be- tween Concessions 6 and 7. The first will cost $103,000.00 and the second $46,000.00. ment of Music indicated its sur- prise that the Richmond Hill board objected to six pupils, who have graduated into high school. coming back to continue their classes under the Bureau, whose music classes are conducted in some of the local public schools. The Bureau said it never en- countered such objections \be- fore from any school board. Sick-Leave Trustee Mrs. Irene Worrell of the Personnel Commitee reported The 1board decided on motion of Trustee Virginia Sully, se- conded by Trustee Harold Sand- erson, to put up signs prohibiting unsupervised playing on the tar- mac at Crosby Acres School. This was due to the damage done by 'boys with hockey sticks and pucks. Damage was also caused at Beverley Acres School where glass in the gym was broken. Trustee Sanderson feared it was coming to the place where school property would have to be put under responsible supervision by the town recreation committee. or the playgrounds locked up. Can.

Two cases of compassionate leave for teachers were consid- ered. In one case leave was grant- ed for five days with pay; for additional time the cost of the supply teacher will be deducted from the teacher’s salary. Trustee Sanderson and Mrs. Worrell than made an amend- Inent that the personnel commit= tee prepare I sick leave plan and bring it back to the board. This carried. Trustee Sanderson asked “What about the carry forward on sick leave?” “The teachers have up to 200 days,” said Trustee Mrs. Worrell. Trustees Mrs. Worrell and Mrs. Sully made the motion that the board allow two days per working month sick leave for the perma- nent staff. that as far north as Richmond Hill it was the policy that all the non-teaching staff be permitted two days off per month as com- passionate leave. (24 days per year.) “That's a big sick leave." com- mented Chairman L. D. Clement. “Ilf you made it twenty days, that would be the same as teachers. This is very generous compared to people in other jobs." (w 0 Your Gas company does not employ door to door salesmen nor telephone canvassen.
