I HAGGART, W. 26 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, December 8, 1960 FOR MAYOR. VOTE: Jim Haggart’s election as Mayor will mean that he will be automatically 3 member of the Hos- pital Board. His knowledge of the problems of this community will be an invaluable asset to the association. ‘ In addition to the cost of completing the neces- sary sewage works the town will be required to contribute or provide for ,other essential services. As soon as we, as taxpayers, are prepared to as- sume the burden of paying for the required serâ€" vices and land the hospital can be built. Mr. Hag- gart feels that we are not yet ready to assume this additional burden. The 1960 Works Committee, under the chairman- ship of Jim Haggart, after a comprehensive study, informed the Hospital Committee that it would be some considerable time before a start could be made on a new hospital. The Works Com- mittee advised that they have been informed by Hisey & Barrington, engineers, commissioned for the study, that the proposed 200-bed hospital will require necessary services to handle up to 1,000 gallons of sewage per minute. Our present sewage plant could not possibly handle the additional load. Our engineering consultants further advis- ed the Committee that the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission would never approve a sep- tic tank of the‘mag'nitude required to take care of the sewage. Before a new hospital can become a reality it will be necessary to erect a new sew- age disposal plant. 24 yearé School Board‘ experience including the ï¬rst lgrogredd â€" pro/[Clancy â€" lot-incip/e ELECTION DAYâ€"SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10th For Cars ‘or Information Phone AL 7-1030 The fact that Richmond Hill needs a hospital is self-evident.

In reply to a question about a ceiling on capital expenditures, Mr. Constable said that expenses were reasonably in line with the previous year except in school ‘maintenance, “which was $6,050.- 100 over the estimate, and we are now waiting for a $2,000.00 insur- ance rebate." The year’s tight- money policy caused a ‘postpone- ment in the purchase of new buildings. "A school board is set up to provide the required edu- cation in an area,†he said. “It has no control over how many children will require educationH as it is up to council to control or not control house building.†Vice-Chairman ,,,, ,7VV__ -_.- râ€"vv-tv-lv wl- v“ llal‘lnllblull‘y.

Candidates for the Vaughan Township School board, council, reeveship and deputy-reeveship were in- troducd by Chairman E. Sand.

In response to a question “How will the debt be discharged?†he said it was hoped that the installed meters and the flat rate policy will help. Bryson Jesse Bryson, running for the position of deputy-reeve after four years on council, said, “I Mr. Ralph, replying to a ques- tion about the North Yonge Bus Line deï¬cit said that during the years of proï¬t Vaughan Council kept the monies in the treasury, so that $67,000.00 proï¬t now shows on the books. “Now,†he said, “the TTC has come forth with a deï¬cit. The agreement be- tween Vaughan and the TTC ter- minated at the end of last year and it was necessary to enter a new agreement. We have no con- trol over the rates." Wilson (Eric) Anstey, who aspires for the reeve- ship, said the deï¬cit now existing could be met lby increased rates or through tax assessment or through the proï¬t held on town- ship books. Asked if the $67,000 was earning interest while in township keeping, Mr. Anstey said he didn’t know. F. M. Windatt, Pine Grove banker, seeking election to coun- cil for the ï¬rst time, felt his ex- perience with ï¬nances would be helpful to the township in the matter of balanced spending. Answers James Henry Robson, RR. 2, Woodbridge and Milton Savage, Jr. who lives at Patterson, on the west border of Richmond Hill, both trying for council, were absent. Banker Bruce Ralph, incumbent coun~ cillor seeking re-election said he wanted to clear the air of any question of his personal integrity, raised at the nominations meeting on November 28 at the Maple Community Centre. He explained his work in securing industrial development at No. 7 Highway and Jane Street. “This is the only industrial area in our township," he said, “and it now is serviced to entice industry. Latest addi- tions to the industrial site will be an office building and a pro- jected factory, and a curling club to be valued at more than a quar- ter of a million dollars. This will mean new sources of income for the township,†he said.

Mr. Ryder, answering another question about the water area deï¬cit caused by the moving of the water main at No. 7 Highway said that the Department of Highways contributed $20,000 to Vaughan for land purchases which would more than cover the $18,000 debt involved. Replying to a question, Mr. Anstey said the policy now was “no approval of sub-divisions without sewers and all services available.†Mr. Anstey, a councillor for four years, and chairman of the planning board the last two years claimed that building in the township has been held to 125 lots per year and that the official plan, recently completed, will be open for examination before it passes the Municipal Board. He said he felt that more of the service fees should go to the school board and felt that council was protecting Vaughan in the matter of the proposed CNR‘ marshalling yard. “Very few people in Vaughan will be affect- ed,†he said, “yet industry will be induced by the yard.†‘ Mr. Rutherford said “The rea- son‘I am running for reeve is the dissatisfaction among rate- payers.†He said in the past, when he served as councillor and deputy-reeve he was chairman of each township department and hence was familiar with the workings of various phases of township affairs.
