RUTHERFORD rearfAdtone Some indication of the duty is given by the maintenance bud- get of the Richmond Hill Public School Board for 1961. It totals $22,520. That covers actual main- tenance work having to do with the preservation of buildings only. Caretaking charges, day-to- day cleaning and all that sort of thing go through another channel. McConaghy School B_ill_ Av-Vvvuâ€"Bâ€"-., _ _, For instance the budget calls for the expenditure of $7,670 on the McConaghy School on Yonge Street South â€" Richmond Hill’s oldest â€" during the year. The largest item on what might be called the “repair bill” is $4,300. which will be spent to replace windows on the west side of the building. Wooden frames which are decaying fast and let in wind and weather will be replaced by steel. Painting class-rooms and hallways will use up $550. New tile floors will take $750. $500 will go for pointing brickwork. Other “housekeeping” items will use up the balance. The Walter Scott School main- tenance budget will chew Jp $5,560. The largest expenditure there will be $2,500 for replac- ing incandescent lights. That seems to be a fairly big bill, but trustees have estimated that. be- side-s giving better lighting. the saving in power alone will pay for the installation in a few years. A storm sewer at the school will cost $1,500. Beverley Acres Also The Beverley Acres school will employ $3,460 of the taxpayers' money. It will go on a variety of items, including sodding and seeding for the exterior 0f the school. Just like any other house- keeper, the Public School Board will have to pay for those things which, in spite of all the care and economy in the world, have to be taken care 0!. Repairs to the heating system, for instance, Maintenance Costly, But Necessary Duties of a public school board are many and varied. Not the least of them is the job of superintending build- ings on which many thousands of dollars of ratepayers’ money have been spent. Through their staff, board mem- bers have the responsibility of ensuring that property is not permitted to deteriorate. It’s a constant and costly task. Public School Board “Housekeeping” Helps Preserve Taxpayers' Property RICHMOND HILL The MacKillop School will take $2,760 of the taxpayers’ dollars. A thousand of them will be used for replacing and resurfacing Vaughan and King Townships stand to acquire considerable em- ployment benefits in the future from the recent announcement that the Federal and Ontario gov- ernments will share up to '75 per cent of the projected $24 million flood control works relative to the Don and Humber watershed. In Vaughan, two dams north of Kleinberg, with the most north- erly one straddling the Vaughan- King boundary, will in each case give employment to as many as 1,000 men at one time. 7 costing $500! Replacing broken windows, the allowance being $300! Fixing washroom doors, with another $260 to be paid out! The Crosby Heights school, from the maintenance point of view, won't cost taxpayers much this year. Only $800. has been a1- lotted to it by the board. It will go on a variety of smaller jobs such as painting the interior and exterior of the portable class- rooms, refinishing the gym floor, putting crushed stone on the parking lot.

Ken Higgs, Director of Opera- tion for the Metropolitan Toron- to and Regional Conservation Authority, told ‘The Liberal’ that each dam will mean about three years' work, and form part of the six-dam plan for the Humber River.

Another project to benefit Vaughan is the still-to-be-sched- uled reservoir on the Don which will flood back up on the Jack Fraser farm at Dufferin and Highway 7. 9:00 to 4:00 - PLUS When an individual graduates from Teachers’ College he or she is awarded a certificate making him eligible to teach in Public Schools.

Pleasantville school, newest of them all. will not call for any immediate maintenance expendi- tures. The work required on it will be taken care of from the debenture account from which payments for the new school were made. Like any householder, the Pub- lic School Board will need new tools, lumber and nails and hard- ware. $2,270 will be spent on them. So, while taxpayers are busy earning the dollars which will help keep the schools going dur- ing the next year. the Public School Board will be busy spend- ing part of the money which they have paid in this year, keeping their buildings in good shape for them and their youngsters. A provisional $1,000 grant by the Ontario government will en- able the Authority to make a pre- liminary stream survey on the Don, Etobicoke, Humber and Rouge River and Highland Creek. The overall master plan calls for construction of dams, reservoirs and channel improvements along Humber and Don Rivers and Black Creek, as well as for use of flood-plain lands for flood con- trol and recreational purposes along Etobicoke, Highland, Duf- fin and Mimico Creeks and the Rouge River. Because these projo ects lend themselves to year- round work, it is anticipated by observers that winter works pro- grams in the years to come will be facilitated. At Woodbridge a major chan- nelization job, on which the engi- neering has already started, will deepen and widen the Humber at that point and provide employ- ment for about 100 men.
