In each case, ap- plause for the contestants for reeve, deputy-reeve, council and Vaughan Township School Board members was uni- formly hearty. The meeting was unanimously considered one of intelligence, sincerity, good humOur and feminine charms. Council contestants were all agreed that future township action required energetic leadership, carefully regulated industrial and residential expansion and a “hold the tax level" policy. School board aspirants suggested con- tinuity in administration and an improvement in education- al scope and facilities in line with considered practicability. Water with.

Candidates For Council 8: School Board “Meei Your Candidates" One iatepayer wanted an op- inion expressed relative to the proposed $5,000.000 C.N.R. mar- shalling yard. What would happen when the yard would be operat- ing upward of a hundred trains a day? How would this huge in- dustry affect assessment, What a- bout protection for the property holders in the adjacent area, Mr. Bill Anstey, running for reeve against Albert Rutherford and Vic Ryder, and Bruce Ralph, pointed out that the new offic- ial plan and zoning bylaw would protect rateable property. They said the area must be jealously guarded, that a freezing bylaw prevents speculation so far as the township is concerned and as far as the township could go 1e- gally. There would be no loss in assessment anywhere in that area but. as a matter of fact, assess- ment benefits: The ward system interested several citizens. This was sup- posed to have been studied two years ago. What had happend? Anstey said that the matter had undergone considerable study by council in the past year, that it would have been impractical to act on the system at the time, but that it must be dealt with. “It hasn’t been shelved,” he said. “Council is anxious to have all areas equitably represented through the governing body.”_ Anstey said that the township would be proud of the marshal- ling yard. “It will be the most modern on the continent, elec- tronically controlled, cleanly op- erated and will not interfere with Maple or Concord, thanks to changes effected through nego- tiations by council.” Wards Mr. Ryder added: "Further representation was to have been made by the reeve and the town- ship clerk but has not been forth- coming." He Went on: “The way things are going now, it appears that the lack of a ward system wlll not prevent the front end of the the township from being well represented through council. The front end probably will control the back end." One ratepayer asked: "A question of the tail wagglng the dog,” Laughter greeted this query. Mr. Rutherford said, in his opinion the ward system was ne- cessary and desirable. Ronald Fenn, deputy-reeve aspirant said the ward system protected the voters by providing more equal representation on council and school board. School Board A mother of five wanted to know why the school board did not provide transportation for kindergarteners. Herb Constable, present chairman of the area board. said: “No board will un- dertake to transport little child- ren. It's a standard policy. Get- ting a child to kindergarten and home again is the responsibility of the parents." The woman com- plained that this responsibility meant an extra $30.00 or $40.00 a year out of purse and question- ed the need for kindergartens at all. George Chandler, running for the school board, said studies had conclusively shown that kin- dergarten was a beneficial intro- ducion to a school career. The mother of five shook her head. "Guess I'm prejudiced," she said. "I have gifted children." Some- one said: “You‘re fortunate." which brought more laughter from the audience. Another wo- man wanted to know Why the board did not arrange transpor- tation for high school children whereupon Mrs. Mona Robertson vice~chairman of the present board said: “We are a public school board and have nothing to do with secondary schools." ‘Murder John Ignatius Cyril O‘Remy, father of Cyril J.

WHAN Patrick William Salm n of Nor- maple Subdivision. a ne comer to Canada seven years ago, said that as a public school board member he would be guided by the know- ledge that the school chidren re- presented the future. “and in their future lies our future and that of all Canada. Ross Jolllffe, a sales manager and former army major said his concern would be the steady im- provement of educational stan- dards and facilities. Mrs. Doro- thy Robertson of Pine Grove who has a grown family and is ac- tive in Home and School work but has no school board exper- ience said she wanted to trans- late her interest in community life and motherhood into consci- entious school board activity. She promised the greatest value for the school tax dollar. and ended with: “I’d like very much to serve you for the next two years." when he said he had been asked by his son to come and sollclt votes on his behalf. O'Reilly jun- lor was unable to be present be- cause of other commlttments. Senior said that his son prefer- red the name John. “Cyril is al- right for an adult," he said, “but it’s murder for a school boy. And I couldn’t very well give him my second name, Ignatius. for the smame reason, so we settled for John and the wife worked in Cy- ril and Neil.” Vice-chairman Mona Robertson said she had attended some 60 meetings on behalf of the board during 1960 and was in a good position to appreciate the progress it had made and, “I would like to see the marvellous setup broadened and strength- ened in the next two years.” Thanking the taxpayers for their wonderful co-operation she pled- ged to work for continued econ- omy and harmony and to we ‘0 it every person and issue was treated fairly and squarely. Council Candidates Mr. Albert Rutherford, oppos- ing Anstey and Ryder, reiterated the need for more consideration for the taxpayer, greater co-oper- ation between council and the various municipal departments and the school board, and well planned township development. Developers must be made to foot a bigger share of subdivision ex- penses. “Between two and three thousand lots have been tenta- tively earmarked for residential development and this must be balanced by industrial develop- ment,” he reminded the audience, ending with the slogan: “Fairness and equality for all." George Keffer, founder of the Maple Cattle Breeder's Associa- tion, now- retired, said he had time and the urge to get back into harness and promised to busy himself continually and conscien- tious, if elected councillor. Mrs. Ruth McConkey of Maple promised that as a councillor she would keep the men counncillors on their toes called for proper, solid industries and said: "My Citizens’ Commltcee, designed to attract more industry, .can be yogi: committe." John Neufeld of Maple called for controlled subdivision devel- opment and promised to be a full- time councillor. one who would not be swayed by personal preju- dice or gain. “A strong, vital council is needed in the years ahead,” he claimed. Maurice Windatt, farm-born and a banker for 33 years, said that as councillor he would make certain the township did ndt become the victim of new de- velopments. He called for a closer scrutiny of subdivision agree- ments and expressed dissatisfac- tion with one such agreement he had studied. “I still can’t see where, in that agreement, suf- ficient money was earmarked tor school needs," he said, “but I also feel these things will be corrected. We must always be on guard against speculators.” Ronald Fenn, running against Jesse Bryson for the deputy- reeveship, promised to protect taxpayers against negative en- croachment and said every de- veloper should be charged with making a subdivision self-suffic- ient. “There should be no loose ends left to haunt incumbent or iutulfe councils," he said. - - v...

A member of the audence said: “Boy, he's worked like a horse on the school boardand certainly deserves sup- port m his race for a seat on council." Jesse Bryson, seeking the depummeveship, said he believ- ed that his practical knowledge as a farmer would stand him in good stead as deputy-reeve. be- cause council was above all a practical body needing a_down-to- earth outlook. Since 1949. he said. the township staff had gone up from eight to 50 persons. as- sessment from $10 to $23 mil- lions. fire protection outlay from $2,700 to $26,000. School taxes from $74,000 to $416,000. “The debnture picture is up from $63,000 to some three and a quarter millions." he said, “and it will take hard headed manage- experience and training on council dating back to 1948 should prove helpful in the bustling year of 1961. A resident of Richmond Hill since 1926 Mr. Taylor was successfully elected councillor. deputy-reeve and reeve. In 1957 he received the high honour of being elected Warden of the County of York. He believes the 1961 administra- tion will need hard headed reality and strong leadership if it's going to deal successfully with the many problems facing the mu- nicipality and remain financially solvent. Opposes Appointed Bodies Councillor Tom Broadhurst who is seeking a second term came out strongly against the creation of any further non-council comâ€" mit‘tees, and appointed bodies such as boards and commissions.

Favours Home Owner One candidate Deputy-reeve S. F. Tinker made the home owner a major plank in his platform. Mr. Tinker is seeking the office of reeve in the coming year. “There is no more important individual in the community than the man who is raising his family and buying his own home. I believe we should make the home own- er the No. 1 priority in 1961." stated Mr. Tinker. Mr. Tinker has served for nine years in the public life of Richmond Hill. Prior to his election to council he served as chairman of the town public school board for a number of years. Conference on Debt Councillor Mrs. Margaret Southwell, the only woman mem- ber of council reviewed the work of the parks committee. As a mother she advocated the exten~ sion of arparks program. She felt adequate parks and planning were a real need in a growing com- In an atmosphere of chattering teeth and stamping feet candidates for the 1961 Richmond Hill Town Council spoke at an open air election rally held Thursday evening of last week at the Richmond Heights Centre. The meeting which was held under the sponsorship of the local Jaycees saw only a few .brave souls v‘enture forth in the cold December air to hear the various speeches. With only one exception all the candidates were present. Reeve W. J. Haggart who is candidate for the office of chief magistrate suggested the 1961 council should call a conference in the early part of the new year, “of council, school boards and all public bodies charged with the responsibility of spending public funds to determine the priorities and discuss possible methods of economizing.” Mr. Haggart hoped every one attending such a meet- ing would fully appreciate “the financial problems that will beset us if we‘re not careful.” All fu- ture debenture issues should .be pegged at the present ratio to assessment. During the present year the town retired $130,000.00 in debenture debt. Caution Keynote Town Council Candidates Mr. Norman Todd, local solici- tor and former chairman of the town planning board stated the municipality is facing an uncer- tain future due to a steadily mounting tax rate. Mr. Todd is candidate for mayor. He prom- ised, if elected, to carefully study any future requests for capital expenditures in light of the towns ability to pay. "Caution" should be the keynote in the '1961 ad- ministration. He also advocated industrial development of a posi- tive and productive nature, in- stead of just excuses. Such ex- penditures as the renovations to the town hall should be handled by public tender. One Step Forward and Two Backwards Mr. George Hill, a Yonge Street merchant and a mayoralty can- didate, stated that although his business has expanded over the years so has the tax rate. “I often wonder if during the period we haven't taken one step forward and two backward.” He felt the lack of a systematic policy for the development of industry has created a real hardship on the individual property owner. It's council’s job to formulate policy and an efficient. energetic statf should be available to carry out its policy decisions. He felt the people are not going to go on year after year just accepting a five to seven mill rise in taxes. Full Time Service “Former Reeve Floyd Perkins who is a candidate for the 1961 reeveship reviewed the active part in town affairs he has play- ed over a long period of time. He has been actively associated with the agricultural and horti- cultural societies. recreation com- mittee and library in addition to his many years on council. Mr. Perkins stressed the need for a full time reeve, and stated if elected he is prepared to devote the necessary time to the job. Favours Parks Board Councillor John Bradstock Who is seeking to move up from counâ€" cillor to deputy-reeve reviewed his work on the parks committee. He stroneg favoured the estab- lishment of a separate parks board at an annual cost of one mill. He carried out an energetic parks program during the past summer. The senior member in point of service of the present councillors he is a resident of Beverley Acres and an engineer by profession. Former Reeve W. J. "Tom" Taylor who is also a candidate for the 1961 deputy-reeveship felt his past experience and training on council dating back Experience and Training Councillor Tom Broadhurst who is seeking a second term came out strongly against the creation of any further non-council com- mittees, and appointed bodies such as boards and commissions. Cold Weather Keeps Election Crowd Down oil and demand money. Mr. Broad- hurst felt the addition of an extra mill here and there can only re- sult in a soaring tax rate and a whittling away of the authority of the people’s elected represen- tauves. Parks and Planning ayoralty can- although his ded over the rate. “I often he period we step forward munlty. This year only half a mill went to parks. Under the authority of a parks board onfi mill could be levied for sue purposes. Mrs. Southwell said she was opposed to any move to commercialize Sunday. She has seven years of public service serving successfully on the town public school board and council. Experienced Planning Councillor Howard Whillans who is also seeking a second‘ term on council told of his work‘ as council representative on plan-‘ ning board. Experienced planning can result in long i term benefits for the whole commun- ity. He favours appointed bodies and cited the recently organized industrial commission. He felt council needed the assistance of more experts and specialists. Mr. Whillans went on record as fav- ouring the calling of public ten- ders for such council projects as renovating the town hall. Associ- ated with the investment business he felt his training in this field would prove helpful in the town's financial dealings. Sound Administration Mr. A1 White, sports store pro- prietor and life long resident said he would make no grand promises that couldn't be kept. This elecâ€" tion marks Mr. White’s first bid for a council seat. If elected he said he would stand for sound, economical and practical admin- istration based on the people’s ability to pay. The year 1961 will present many different and varied problems to be solved by council and he suggested the electorate consider carefully the many issues that will be facing the new council. Policy oi'_ Economy Council candidate John Mac- Diarmid said there is only one major issue in this election and that is taxes. The 1961 council must learn to say no, and only approve needed essentials. In an era of soaring taxes he believed the home owner can't afi'ord any- more luxuries. “Council can't just go on imposing a five to seven mill increase year after year. Some consideration must be given A; u, WILLOWDALE â€" A survey of recreational facilities in York County is being undertaken joint- ly by the North York Al'pa Coun- cil of the Social Planning Council of Metropolitan Toronto and the North York Parks and Recrea- tion Department. oume consmeration must be given to the people’s ability to pay."
