AV 6-3316 ‘ Asked by Mayor Haggart if anv municipality in Ontario had achieved a successful solution to the problem, Mr. Brown nam- ed a number of communities where some action had been start- ed. He named Waterloo as one of the stand-outs. There. he said, a down-town area had deteriorat- ed. Private funds for redevelop- ment had been secured and advice The second step in the work of the special committee which ha been authorized by Richmond Hill Town Council to study rede- velopment of areas which could become blighted and, consequent- ‘ly, a loss to the municipality in the way of decreased taxation, took place last week. Present to explain to members of the com- mittee what help was available to them was Mr. J. F. Brown. redevelopment officer from the Community Planning Branch, De- partment of Municipal Affairs. “It’s a healthy sign that in- terest in redevelopment is be- ing taken by a number of mun- icipalities. “It was a relatively new problem. he declared. “Here is a new frontier.” Examples Given __ Vaughan Planners Won’t Oppose A similar ‘no opposition' was recorded relative to North York’s Restricted Area by-law amendment in accor- dance with some requested changes in terminology and definition, floor-area specifi~ cations and specific regula- tions for signs in industrial The Markham property is now designated as residential and following representation from the Tower Marts of Canada, Markham has appro~ ved of the rezoning to high- way commercial. This would permit ‘the operation of a discount store. a food store and four accessory buildings. The centre has been approv- ed by the Department of Highways and Metro Plan- ning Board has given the builders the green light sub- ject to some siteichan‘ges. Vaughan‘s planning board said that the shopping centre would not affect its own official plan. The board felt there could be no legitimate opposition to the Markham application and a ‘no op- position’ vote was duly re- corded. Vaughan Township Plan- ning Board, at its February 7 meeting, saw no reason why it should oppose Markham Township's aplication to the Department of Municipal Af- fairs for approval of an ap- plication to amend Mark- ham's Official Plan to permit the operation of a shopping centre opposite the Yonge Street entrance of Helen Street. Vaughan’s proposed Zoning by-law shows a small commercial (C-I) site direct- ly opposite this 17-acre pro- perty on which the Markham centre will cover 150,000 square feet.

He admitted to hav- ing some drinks that evening. Reade said he was tired and had told his wife that if he didn’t feel better shortly he would pull over to the side of the road and take a little nap. The police had also testified that when he walk- ed for them his feet were about one foot apart. Reade said one leg was two and a half inches shorter than the other and this probably accounted for his odd gait. ' Magistrate 0. s. Hollinrake said there was not sufficient evidence against accused and dismissed the Vaughan Township Council has authorized the township staff to compile a form containing the condititions of ‘draft’ approvals applicable to the Maple Glen Subdivision. This will be present- ed to council as soon as possible for adoption, and will in effect set a precedent. Hitherto many draft agreements have been of a verbal nature and as council- lors said often can leave the door open for misunderstanding between the township and sub- division developers. The proposed draft conditions will, it is felt. facilitate matters between council and developers. Police said that Reade smelled of alcohol, refused an alcohol test and when asked to undergo a walking test marched smartly 15 feet beyond the point required and wheeled about in military fashion only after he had been told to do so twice. Police said that he agreed to pick up a key case from the ground but did so in a rather odd manner by bending over, placing his hand flat on top of the ease and then scooping it up with his fingers. Police said that in their view he was in no Condition to be driving. Vaughan To Create New “Draft” Approval Form The conditions will have to be finalized and approved by the end of the month. At the Febru- ary 6 meeting, council promised the principals of the Maple Glen Subdivision, which plans between 250-300 homes on 86 acres of land west of Maple that it would reach a decision about that development by the end of February. Official Plan Police testified that shortly af- ter midnight, November 7, they swerved their cruiser at the in- tersection of Highway 48 near Markham Village to avoid being struck by Reade’s car which was careening along in the improper travel lane. Police said they pur- sued the car which weaved along south on Highway 48 and before they stopped it two other north- bound vehicles had to take to the shoulder of the road to avoid being hit. The tragic accident, resulting in the death of six-year old Harold Woodward on Saturday,brought sorrow to his parents and families resident in the Lake Wilcox area.

Markham Township Police had reason to feel the days were mix- ed up on Monday (February 13) and that it should have been a typical Friday the 13th, when the magistrate dismissed a case of impaired driving against John Collingwood Reade, Toronto rad- io commentator, on the grounds of insufficient evidence. The provincial official advised the committee to seek the exper- ience of other communities. He pointed out what help could be given by the province under the Planning Act, in the redevelop- ment of blighted areas. and prom- ised to provide material which would assist the committee in its studies. The problem was a universal one, Mr. Brown told the rede- velopment committee. Waterdown in New York State was, he said, a good example of what could be done. There a “New Look” pro- Ject had been based on the town’s central square. Dismiss Charge Against Toronto Commentator had been given. Down-town bus- iness redevelopment with ade- quate off-street parking was be- ing aimed at. In a number of oth- er Ontario communities provision o.‘ proper down-town parking had been given priority in re-develop- ment. Problem Widespread The committee informed coun- The magistrate told Earl Cairn, 20, of Willowdale, that he could not give him time to pay his total fine of $54 imposed on Cairn for drunkenness and unlaw- fully having liquor in his pos- session on February 11. “You'd better‘ phone your family," he advised. “My brother is here with me," said Cairns. “Good,” replied the magistrate. “He’s right handy to pay your fine." Robert William Semple, 21, of Willowdale, who pleaded guilty to two charges of breaking and entering and who already was on oarole for a similar charge, will be sentenced February 20 after the magistrate has had a chance to study a pre-sentence report. Markham Township Police said Semple was apprehended at McGee’s Smoke Shop at 6425 Yonge Street at 1.50 a.m. Sun- day, February 12, with $18.50 in cash on him which he admitted he had stolen from the smoke shop. Subsequent investigation showed he had, about 1 am. broken into .a nearby service station but that nothing there had been taken.

He would then recommend to the Municipal Board that the zoning by-law be approved. Motel Fees The committee has been asked by motel owners in Vaughan and greater Toronto to recom- mend that the township abolish its license fees applicable to motels. The appeal has been tak- en under study and the staff was instructed on Monday to com- pile comparable data relative to regulations specified in other municipalities.

She plead- ed guilty to the charge but said there were extenuating circum- stances. She said she had spent part of the night in the motel with a boy friend who deserted her there. She grew angry and stole the goods out of spite, belie- ving he ,would have to pay for the items. “I’ve never been in trou- ble before," she said, weeping, asked whether she had a joo she replied that she worked stea- dily. “What do you do?” the cadi asked. “I’m a model,” she replied.

By the time of its next meeting the group hopes to' be in possession of factual material which will en- able it to pursue its studies ef- ficiently. Continue Study Although it was surprising to find that in one school the aver- age number of years’ teaching experience was around three. the impression left by the visit to South Peel was that the teachers observed were very thorough in their work. and none of the visi- tors found anything to cavil at. (One of the hosts did suggest that the students had been on their very best behaviour for the visitors.) However, it left the question open as to whether other school systems than ours, such, for example, as the Danish. British, or Russian, have not per- For example, one queston that was perhaps bound to come up was the student who couldn’t read or spell or write English adequately when he entered high school. Should he be allowed to enter high school, when he did not have the necessary skills with which to absorb what high school had to offer? There is sometimes a tendency for high school teach- ers to blame the public school teachers for inadequate prepara- tion of the children, and for uni- versities to blame the high schools. “And do you know whom we blame?” asked one principal. “We blame the parents." And there is no doubt that parental habits, tastes, and attitudes may greatly help or hinder a student’s progress in learning. The high school teachers of Richmond Hill, Bayview. and other schools of the York Central High School Board visited public schools in South Peel last Friday, and met afterwards with other teachers in the Lorne Park High School, to hear public school poli- cy presented by the superinten- dent of public schools for south Peel, Mr. Cummins, the director of primary education, Mrs. Wal- pole, and the inspector, Mr. Turner. The high school teachers learn- ed of children who after three years in public school were still in Grade 1. One principal de- clared that the student who was behind on entering high school had likely been behind all the way from Grade I. Special auxili- ary classes were provided in South Peel for students who showed such difficulties, which parents did not always show a willingness to take advantage of, sometimes because it meant a bus trip to another school. This type of student was moved up- wards, not because he could profit by the instruction being offered but because his size made his presence in a lower grade incon- gruous. He was embarrassed if not promoted. and frustrated if he were.

Further, any capital improvement for which the townships share will be raised by the issue of deben- tures will be deferred until the pending roads need-study is com- pleted. Council could act if powers of control were required by the new board and could pass the necessary by-laws, claimed Coun- cillor Broadhurst. He felt that this power should remain with council. He also doubted the wis- dom of granting the board one mill of taxes, believing that the One of the most profitable parts of the day was the chance to exchange problems with the principals of the public schools, after having had the opportunity to enter classrooms and to ob- serve public school teachers at work.

Tue by-law was referred to the pro- perty committee for further stu- dy. ' Council Could Act Objections to giving too broad powers to a board working unâ€" der town council by Councillor 'i‘om Broadhurst - plus the near~ ing of midnight - led to Rich- mond Hill Town Council giving first reading only to a by-law setting up a new parks board. 7 The Richmond Hill Public School Board met with Mr. Gor- don Mortson of the Mortson Bus Lines on Thursday evening last at their regular bi-monthly meet- ing. The matter of adequate in- surance was discussed and Mr. Mortson agreed to look into the matter of increasing the insur- ance. Chairman L. D. Clement asked “how do you regulate the number of children that ride on a bus?" Mr. Mortson's reply was to the effect that one of his busses carried forty-nine pupils. To {[‘rustee Harold Sanderson’s query “‘Does the Department of Trans- port set a maximum?" Mr. Mort- son answered. “Yes.” Chairman Clement pointed out the board does not want Mr. Mortson to carry any more on the bus than he is allowed to by the Depart- ment of Transport. “If it means more busses the board will gladly pay for them,” he added. Vice-chairman Sanderson ask- ed, “Does the department require any drills through the emergency doors?" Mr. Mortson answered, “It is only necessary to keep the doors in good Operating condition." The motion was made by Trus- tee Sanderson, seconded by Trus- tee R.

Roads Committee Chairman Wilfred Keffer said that council feels the need to familiarize itself with the overall roads picture before making any major committments. In Richmond Hill, Fire Chief Alf Stong estimated that the five-room house on Hillsview Drive occupied by Mr. and Mrs. R. Needham represented about a $5500 loss. The .‘.-ire started from an overheated furnace duct which set the wall ablaze and spread rapidly. Firemen spent nearly three hourse at the scene. They used two trucks and an extra water tank from the Markham Fire Department. The frame building was valued at about $3,000 and the contents $2,500.00. The home was the property of Mrs. L.

Hillsview Dr. 8: Vaughan Scene Of Monday Fires No Road Debentures Until Study Completed Superintendent Gordon McIn- tyre pointed out that the com- position and election of a board of an urban municipality that is divided into wards may be chang- ed from its present mode of elec- tion to election by wards by a re- solution for the change support- ed by a majority of the trustees of the board, and provided that the resolution is approved by re- solution of the council of the municipality before July 1. Vice-chairman Sanderson made the motion, seconded by Trustee C. R. Williams and carried that the board desires to be elected by the ward system as of January 1, 1961. A letter will be sent to the town council to ask if it is set- ting up the ward system. The council and board has to approve a ward set-up by July. Trustee Joseph Rabinowitch questioned. “You are doing this because the town voted to go on aAward system?” "The taxpayers put us in here and they apparently want us to be_e1ected by wards.” answered Trustee Mrs. Irene Worrall. The board will ask the McCon- aghy Home and School Associa- tion to be sure the drapes they are planning to purchase for the school are of permanent fire- proof material to save the board expense later in having to have them fire proofed yearly.

Interviewed following the coun- ty meeting, several municipal representatives said that they felt that welfare was better han- dled on a local basis, where the problems of the individual were known. They did not feel that the county could be properly cov- ered from a central point. at least not without a great deal of ex- pense. Councillors finally decided to ask municipalities to give their opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of welfare admin- istered on a county basis â€" an apparently somewhat "tongue-in- cheek" method of disposing of the proposition, Appearing somewhat sceptical with regard to the suggestion that centralizaion maid effect savings, councillors turned down a pro- posal that the amount of $135,000 for welfare for six months, plus $9,250 for administration costs. should be included in the county budget, just “in case" council, after consideration, decided to go along with the plan. to the Yangtze property town council was told.
