Richmond Hill was, however, far-and-away York County’s largest town, its 16,097 nearly doubling Newmarket's 8,704. Aurora, climbing rapidly in recent ,years, threatens to pass the county town before very long, its population now being 7,151, only approximately 1,600 behind Newmarket. Richmond Hill contained a little seventh of York County’s population : tember, 1960, figures from the Count show. Total population of the county Richmond Hill population being 16,097.

They give a real pattern of trends, particularly for educa- tors, who can form some sort of idea of the up-coming crop. These figures indicate a re- markable change in the type of population. For instance, some years ago Richmond Hill had a preponderance of citizens in the senior brackets â€" people who af- ter a long life of hard work had settled down to enjoy their “gol- den years" in the county's small- er towns. Today over fifty per cent of Richmond Hill residents are in the “earning bracket" - spring work-improvement picture is running later than qsual. Council reviewed a request from the developers of the Estelle In- dustrial Subdivision, north of Highway 7 and west of the C.N.R. Marshalling Yard, asking for de- CUntrol of ceiling prices on in- dustrial land. as provided for in the proposed agreement, as of January 1, 1965,.and said no. Council accepted a recommenda- tion from its Planning and Build- ing Committee that controls re- ilnzain in effect until January 1, 9 7. General Accounts took $9,538.05 while the Road Accounts came to $6,732.53. Police and Fire Ac- counts totalled $6,251.98, while the Waterworks Account stood at $1,224.42. Estelle Subdivision The price of land in the de- velopment starts at $6,500 per acres and can be increased $1,000 the second year and $500 per acre per year for the next four years. If the proposal is signed this year, under these terms de- control will not be allowed until January 1, 1967: Council members said that by controlling prices in the next six years, it is logical to assume that potential industry will more readily respond to this induce- ment. The developers feel that in view of their investment in the land that, come January 1, 1965 they should be allowed to strike as hard a bargain as appears rea- sonable. The matter of a formal agree- ment between Estelle and the Township has been hanging fire since Vaughan‘s new council took over and indications are it will not be settled without considerably more negotiations by the indus- trial swbdivison. 212 29 36 408 584 181 335 43 109 73 350 147 309 201 3,017 LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS PHONE TU. 4-1105 196 32 56 423 525 180 343 63 122 84 292 156 326 169 2,967 ME. 5-1000 405 54 119 774 963 374 662 99 228 131 546 323 623 336 5,637 8-9 383 67 102 781 834 349 621 103 200 123 464 291 589 345 5,252 demanding ABCs.

It has 1,071 people seventy years of age and over. The answer is simple. Both the County Home for the aged -â€" York Manor -â€" and Graeme- res, the City of Toronto home for senior citizens, are _located_ there. On the other side of the picâ€" ture is Richmond Hill. with an exceedingly skimpy number of old-timers. There are only 277 of them. If the Hill's proportion of senior citizens ran. for in- stance. like Sutton’s. there would be 1,850 of them. The conclus- ion is. of course, that younger and middle-age families are mak- ing the Hill their home â€" a \sweeping change from the days of aVV'cBEbZrativevly few years ago when retired people regarded it as a haven. r - . ., "W ~L- a3 a un .....

Metro Offenders Vaughan Problem Increase Duties Chief Constable James David- son says that the crime picture for the township looks much worse on the surface than it actu- ally is. He points out that Vaughan, bordering Metropolitan Toronto, is in the unique and difficult position of having to deal with criminal and traffic conditions which originate in the larger, more densely populated area which it borders. “Statis- tics,” he said, “indicate that the bulk of our offenders migrate into Vaughan Township from within the borders of Metropolitan To- ronto.” Approximately 80% of the criminal element arrested by the Vaughan Police Department are from the Metro area, he added. Referring to traffic problems and offences. he said they are greatly influenced by the influx of residents from the area south of Steeles Avenue.
