MITCHELL Indicative of the changes caused by growing population and consequent increased de- mand for teaching staff, was the fact that out of Richmond Hill's Public School cadre of slightly over one hundred teachers 41 had not been in the town two years ago. Sup- ervising Principal Gordon McIntyre told school trustees at their recent meeting. He did not anticipate that chan- ges in the future would be quite so pronounced, he said.

Well over two hun- dred people attending a very live- ly but extremely orderly gather- in; Chairman of the committee was Deputy-reeve Lawson Mum- berson. He introduced the panel which consisted of Reeve Dean and councillors S. Watson, C. Hooper, A. Sumner. Assessment Conimiésioner R. Thomson. En- gineer Mr. B. Davis and the town- ship Clerk H. ersp: The Highland Park Association had previously sent to council a total of sixteen questions with regards to cost and construction of sewers.” both sanitary and storm, also curbs, roads, and in- stallations. Following are the questions and answers in the or- der given. Answerâ€"Tenders will be called and let and within four or five months work will be completed. LUQuestionâ€"In what month in 1961 can we expect work to com- mence on the sewers? Answerâ€"In about eight weeks after the- go-ahead is given by the ratepayers. 2. Quést'ion â€" When will they be completed and in operation} 3. Questionâ€"What can be con- nected to Aâ€"sanitary sewer? Bâ€" storm sewer? Answerâ€"Aâ€"all plumbing fix- tures laundry tubs etc. Bâ€"weep- ing tile down pipes and sump pump. Answerâ€"Sanitary sewers none. But storm sewers will probably in two or three years mean an increase in land value of about $2.00 per ft. but only if sale value of property increases. (It seemed to me at this point many present would have desired a written guarantee covering this state- ment.) Answerâ€"There is at present some indication that Metro may take over Steeles Ave. but when is another question. It will even- tually become a four-lane high- way With 50 feet of paved sur- face. A storm sewer must be in- stalled by Markham. No sidewalk will be permitted. 4. AQuestionâ€"Will it be manda- tory to connect? AnSwerâ€"This estimate was in- complete and was for a twenty year repayment, costs otherwise are comparative. V Answer â€" Roads approximately $306.00 per 50 ft. lot. sidewalks definitely in most cases a luxury at $2.50 per foot. road allowance owned by township is 66 ft. roads at present are about 18 ft. wide. 14. Questionâ€"What aflect will sewers etc, if installed have on the assessment value of the prop- erty? 15. Questionâ€"Will an increase in the market value of said prop- erty cause an increase in assessâ€" ments? Answerâ€"Yes. ' 16. Questionâ€"What about Steeles Ave.? Answerâ€"Yes. within one or two years. 5. ' Questionâ€"Will it be man- datory to connect to storm sew- ers? é. Answerâ€"They will be put back as near as possible to their previous condition: 7. Questionâ€"What happens if both sanitary and storm sewers are requested? Answerâ€"Council agreed roads will belpaved to a width of 22 ft. to be paid for from a general revenue levied throughout the townshiprather than by Highland Park alone. this in consideration for the reduced maintenance costs once work is completed. 8. Question -â€" How soon after the sewers are laid will the roads be done? Answer â€" Yes. An estimated $15.00 per year based on all gal- lonage to be metered at the Bay- view connection to Metro's sewer. 12. B â€"Questionâ€"What about storm sewer costs? Answerâ€"No charge. 13. Questionâ€"What is the esti- mated cost for paved roads, curbs, and sidewalks per 50 ft. lot? A question and answer period followed the distribution of leaf- lets m’th the revised estimates which amount to $99.10 per year for 30 years based on a 50 foot lot'and a $2,500 assessment. Cash costs run approximately $880.00 plus cost of connection and anâ€" nual charge by Metro of a pos- sible $15.00. Answerâ€"Yes. 6. Questionâ€"What happens to the roads and ditches if only sani- tary sewers are requested? Answerâ€"One winter and spring must elapse for settling purposes. 9. Questionâ€"Will the estimate presented last June still apply? Answerâ€"Pipe will run along all streets but corner lots pay on frontage only and oversize pipe necessary for lower corner of subdivision also all maintenance costs divided equally among all homeowners. 10. Qfiestionâ€"Explaln “sewer are-a levy". Answerâ€"What has so far been collected will pay for stage 1, of trunk sewer, and when all collect- ed will pay for the whole of sewer area 1 which is from Steeles Ave. on the south to John St. on the north_ Bayview on the east to Yonge St. on the west. 12. Questionâ€"Will Metro charge us for using their sanitary sew- ers? 11. Question â€"'â€" Will lot fees previously collected cover cost of trunk sewer? CORRESPONDENT: Mn. 11.

Neighbourhood Notes Bill Harris and Barry Barnett were two very lucky lads who at- tended the N.H.L. game at Maple Leaf Gardens last Saturday night to see the Leafs beat the Black- hawks. Barry never took his eyes off that Leaf goalie I am told. Billy was thrilled to see his idol (Bill Harris) score a goal. Sorry to hear Muriel Weaving was confined to her home with a cold for a few days last week. The snowstorm which struck with such a vengeance caught most of us napping_ winter it seems is not over yet. so don‘t put away the snowshovels. It was certainly wonderful to see so many old friends and neighbours at the meeting â€" shades of ten years ago when the Association had its beginning. So kind readers remember Confucius said; “The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." Sympathy Community The whole neighbourhood was deeply Shocked to hear this week of the sudden passing of one of our senior citizens. Mr. E. Hamp- son of 16 Woodward Ave. Ap- parently earlier he was shovel- ling snow to the dismay of his neighbours and had gone to keep an appointment for his driver's test. He was pronounced \dead on arrival at the North Western Hospital presumably of a coron- ary attack. Mrs. Dickinson ac- companied the officer who de- livered the news to Mrs. Hamp- son and stayed until the arrival of Mrs. Hampson’s daughter Louise Romans. The sympathy of this whole area is extended to the family. Mr. Hampson will be greatly missed, he was a favourite friend of so many. ,Hay _ Approx 2,200 bales of wheat and oat straw Miscellaneous, Tools, etc. Tractor adjustable snow plow 60 cycle 2 Steel Livestock Water Troughs Approx. 100 cedar fence rails Danusor Tractor P.T.0. post hole rake Case 7’ cut semi-mounted mower NOTE: All farm machinery here is near new, late models and in exceptionally good condition Baled Hay & Straw Approx. 2,000 bales of good mixed Case 6’ cut combine, Wisconsin engine motor drive, scour kleen, and pickup attachment Case P.T.O. pickup baler, late model, near new Case 30 or 32 ft. combination bale and grain elevator McCormick-Deering 2-furrow ace bottom tractor plow ' Case 17 spring tooth tractor cul- tivator with inside rubber tired wheels 6 sections of diamond drag har- rows Set 8 ft. cut tractor tandem disc harrows r Cockshutt 13 disc tractor fertil- izer and grain drill, good Case tractor manure spreader on rubber Case 4 bar tractor side delivery blade Set 10” chains Reversible tractor scoop Century 711/, hp. electric motor, 2 Tractors, Baler, Combine, Near New Tillage Haying and Harvesting Farm Machines, Baled Hay.
