16 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, July 20. 1961 New Traffic Control Policy â€" (Continued from page 1) and better value for the town. Win Or Lose? Deputy-reeve Bradstock fair wage clauses are quite com- mon and while he approved in principle the committee recom- mendation he suggested it might be wise to get legal advice. Coun- cillor Whillans and Councillor Mrs. Margaret Southwell express- ed support for the proposal. Reeve Perkins expressed oppos- ition and cautioned the members it might cost Richmond Hill a lot of money. Councillor Whillans countered that it might save money. Councillor Broadhurst - “It said' might cost us money but I don‘t ‘want a cheap job at the expense of cut rate wages or skimping of materials". Councillor Al White - “I think ‘ we are sticking our neck out when we don‘t need to. It‘s beyond our jurisdiction.” Reeve Perkins - “We have. en- l‘ough headaches already. This is dynamite". Councillor Broadhurst agreed to hold over the recommendation until a legal opinion is obtained on some aspects of enforcement. His motion, seconded by Coun- cillor Mrs. Margaret Southwell, that legal opinion be obtained was “ carried. FOR SALE uty-clerk, Township o’clock noon. Highest essarily accepted.

Plan Newkirk Extension once to secure land necessary lfor the extension of Newkirk Road from Centre Street East to Mark- ham Road. It was agreed to engage Proc- tor & Redfern for engineering of :services on the Newkirk exten- rsion. It was pointed out the firm lhad done considerable prelimin- ary work on the project in 19.39 and there would be a saving in time and money in engaging them for this work. It was reported negotiations are under way to secure land for street widening on Centre St. East and Station Street. It was agreed to offer J. Teet- zel $2,064. for 1.72 acres of land in the Cedar Ave. area. The land will be improved and even- tually used for park purposes. The offer was made after two .valuations were obtained. ‘ Council is waiting a final re- port on the cost of fluoridation of the local water supply. J. A. Bailey Ltd. has been no- tified that repairs must be made to a portion of Newkirk Road. Council appointed Harold D. Sanderson. Church St. and Doug- las Boyd, Centre St. West, as ad- ditional members of the Yonge Street Tie-development Commitâ€" tee. Question Liability It was decided to seek legal advice on a request from the Pub- lic School Board for payment for school windows broken by golf balls. The 'Town has an agree- ment with the School Board for the use of school grounds for the recreation program. Deputy-reeve Bradstock said the town would be responsible for any damage re- sulting from these activities but questioned if the town should be responsible for all damage by vandal-ism. Councillor Mrs. Southwell de- l plored the vandalism which every year costs taxpayers many hun- dreds of dollars. She urged that all citizens take some interest and responsibility and promptly re- port to police any evidence of vandalism in school grounds and parks. A request from the Richmond Hill Baptist Church for a penmit to hold open air meetings at Yonge and Centre Street on Sat- urday nights throughout the summer was referred to the Pol- ice Committee. William J. Mason, a member of the Committee of Adjustment since its inception, tendered his resignation as he is leaving town, having been transferred to Bur- lington. His resignation was ac- cepted and a resolution passed expressing thanks for his public service. A replacement appoint- ment will be made at the next council meeting. On motion of Councillor Whil- lans. council directed the Admin- istration Committee to make a study and recommendation re- garding the elect-ion of council members by wards. ‘Will lie-study Wards ,’ Pointing out that citizens voted ‘ in favour of the ward system pro- lposa'l last year, Councillor Wlhil- lans said something should be done by council and the necess- ary byalarw must be passed by November lst. He said he dis- cussed the matter with the soli- citor and was informed the pro- vincial law required two or three councillor-s from each ward. As there are four wards this would mean there would be at least eight councillors in addition to Ithe Mayor, Reeve and Deputy- reeve who are elected by the town as a whole. ‘ Council members said that when rthe vote was taken they thought there could be one mem- ;ber from each ward. Some Idoubted the people would have voted for the larger council. Af- ter some discussion it was agreed 3 to give the problem to a commit- tee for thorough investigation l and study. Councillor Tom Broad- hurst is chairman of the Proced- iure and Administration Commit- tee and last year headed the 5 special committee investigating the Ward System. I Council authorized a letter of l congratulations to Constable Oak- }ley who scored high marks in exams at recent police school. On motion of Deputy-reeve ‘Bradstock and Councillor Al. ,W‘hite, a byâ€"law will be prepared to control all outdoor and mobile ,sound systems. There have been complaints about the recently in- istalled trampoline. Rlohvale High School A letter from York Central District High School Board ask- ed council approval of the pro- ;p05ed purchase of a fifteen acre High School site on the Chapman farm, Richvale.

Languages are, base on the balky donkey at the, last week, but he did make a. homer on a more peaceful ani- mal. Seen taking pictures at, the same ball game was llarold Wright, who was doing some ex- graphy project he has been wor- king on. Last year he and another CBLT associate wrote a paper describing a new technique they were perfecting.

Oil 3 for ConstructionlAsk Public To Report ‘ Animals That Stagger Co Dog Control Officer James Ry- an requests that anyone witness~ ing a domesticated or wild ani- mal staggering or acting in any other way indicative of a loss of balance or sense of direction re- port it to his office or police. Such an animal may well have rabies. he said. since the disease affects the brain. Mr. Ryan said that last week he witnessed a skunk staggering about in circles on Bathurst street south of Carrville Road. “In this instance, the animal was aged, half blind and suffering multiple skin disorders," he said. “We had to put the old fellow away. But we want to impress on people that when an animal staggers, he could have rabies." Mr. Ryan also said that many people seem to be quite uncon- cerned when their dog disappears. “Often they won’t even go to ,the trouble of calling us to see n if we picked up the (log.
