Negotiations have progressed to far that an administrator for the hospital has been appointed. Garry J. Chatfield, pictured here, has been named to the pesition, says Chairman Douglas Storms of the York Central Hospital Board. He was born and educated in Winnipeg, graduating in phar- macy from the University of Manitoba. He worked for some time with a pharmaceutical. man- ufactur-ing m‘d'nstry I'ln Perth, Ont. later going to the Univer- sity of Toronto for two years to take a course in hospital admin- istration.

Miss Yule is working with Pro- fessor Georges Potvin, who has been named by the town plan- ning board as consultant in con- nection with the redevelopment of Richmond Hill‘s older busi- ness area. Her “snooping” is connected with a study of the buildings now making up the area. She isn‘t being plain “nosy” neither does her examination of buildings mean that old ones are going to be pulled down and new ones erected the day after to- morrow. The basic information which she is accumulating is de- signed to aid the planning con- sultant in coming up with the right answers in his reports to the redevelopment committee, the If you see a fair-haired, blue- eyed girl snooping around Yonge Street looking at buildings with- in the next few weeks, don’t think that she‘s “casing the joint" in readiness for a robbery.

It’s fit- ting that a girl with a district background should play a part in helping with the study of re- development possibilities on downtown Yonge Street in Rich- mond hillâ€"and Miss Yule has that background. She is the daughter of Dr. 0. J. Yule. dental surgeon of Thomhill. and Mrs. Yule. Now a student at the Uni- versity of Toronto. she is in her graduating year in a four-year Honours course in geography. Her thesis will be on the local area. Thornhill Girl Giving Assistance With Richmond Hill Redevelopment Little by little, things are shaping up to the point where one day the first sod will be turned for the erection of the new hospital to serve the southern part of York County. A site on Vaughan Road in Richmond Hill is under negotiation; Vaughan Township Council has indicated a willingness to go along with a solution to the sewage dis- posal problem if Richmond Hill will coâ€"operate with regard to water; sketch plans have been prepared by the archi- tects and other steps have been taken in the long but nec- essary process of solving the pressing hospital accommo- dation problem.

Loss on operations for the first quarter was $3,564. Loss for the first halfâ€"year was $6.559, mean- ing that the second quarter‘s loss amounted to $2.975. Rich nond Hill’s share of the quarter's de- ficit is $1,487, with Vaughan and Markham having to pay $743 each. The second quarter loss was cut by an increase in the number of revenue passengers, 320,537 persons making use of the ser- vice as compared to 298.343 in the first quarter. planning board and, eventually town council. Commission for the municipali- ties of Richmond HiQL and Vaugh- an and Markham Townships dur- ing the second quarter of the year ran practically parallel to those of the first quarter. A fin- ancia loss was again chalked up. While it has been decided by the T.T.C. and the municipalities to do away with the operation of certain unpatronized runs during the night, the change was not made in time to be fully reflected in the April-May-June quarter. Also, the fact that Miss Yule may be seen examining buildings outside the area normally thought of as being ripe for redevelop- ment doesn’t necessarily mean that anything is going to be done about them. “One room is only part of a house.” Professor Pot- v-in explains, saying that no one part of the town can be studied without reference to the areas with which it is associated. Miss Yule has recently been working in the assessor’s office in the municipal building, securing facts and figures which will per- mit the creation of a basic map. The type of work she is doing is not new to her as she has already been engaged in similar activities for the Toronto Planning Board. Operations of the North Yonge tins line by the Toronto Transit N. Yonge Bus Line Has More Patrons Still Shows Loss (Photo by Lagerquist.) Possibilities of Yonge Street in Richmond Hill being resurfaced from Markham Road to Leven- dale Road are said to be good. Town councillors were told this week that all that was needed was the assent of the Highways Minister, which it was believed would be forthcoming. Under the “connecting link” agreement the town would pay 25 per cent of the approximately $7,200 cost, making the charge to the muni- cipality about $1,800. The entire street would be re- surfaced from curb to curb, said Works Commissioner Otto Whalâ€" Mr. Keffer reported to his col- leagues that his department had received and studied the sur- VLyor’s report showing the loca- tion of the ditch from Roose- velt Drive to Garden Avenue (Richvale) required to provide an outlet ‘for water in the Pearson Avenue area. Council agreed, without debate, that the town- ship's valuer be authorized to ef- f :t satisfactory settlements with those property owners from whom With only a limited amount of business to look after, Richmond Hill Public School Board mem- bers cut their regular meeting short last week and spent some time in a general discussion of academic progress. Suggested by Trustee Mrs. Ruth Castle, the discussion theme was set by Chairman L. Clement, who said that the point at issue was “How good a job do we do and how do you measure it?” The local system had experienced a tre- mendous amount of growth in rerent years and it was time to formulate fleas for the future, he said. “We can end up with a record that would be the envy of many larger communities.” de- clared the board chairman. A 101w and interesting debate tcok place with trustees stress- in;r their responsibilities, in ca- cpeiation with the system‘s staff, in giving the best education pos- sible. Trustees had two responsi- bilities, the'y asserted, that of administering the financial affairs of the school and that of seeing that a high standard of educa- tior was maintained. The testing point, trustees a- greed, was the progress made by students after they left the pub- lic school level. Statistics gather- The delegation asked council to insist on Developer J. S. Grant doing something about the dust which, said spokesman Mrs. David Sinclair, billows every time a vehicle goes up Goodman Street or Lancer Avenue. “It‘s truly amazing the amount of grit and dirt that accumulates in the rooms at the end of a day, no matter how tightly closed we keep the doors and windows," she said. Busiest committee of Vaughan Township Council last week was the roads committee under Coun- cillor Wilfred Keffer which, dur- ing Monday’s regular council meeting handled five items and two beefs by a Normaple delega- tion. Vaughan Rds. Committee ls Kept Busy At Meeting Dust, Ditches, Discussed Up from the audience sprang Bruce Kline, representing the de- veloper. The dust would soon be forgotten, he assured the dele- gation, because his firm was now making plans to asphalt the streets under question. Matter of fact, he said, had it not been for a technicality arising out of a re- cent inspection, the asphalt would be laid now. But he declined to give the delegation a guarantee that the project would be ter- minated in the next week. Reeve A H. Rutherford told Mrs. Sin- clair he sympathized, intimating that council would do what it could to hurry the correction of th- situation.

Keele Street Ditch Trustees completed a deal by which a used portable school was purchased from the Georgetown Separate School Board. Although $6,000 had been allowed in the budget for a new portable, trusâ€" tees were able to secure the Georgetown one for $3.000. Cosr Vof moving to Richmond Hill will be approximately $1,000, the whole deal representing a nice saving for taxpayers. Trustees also decided that renâ€" tals of school property by churches and similar organiza- tions on a long-term basis will gun from September to Septem- er. The reeve said he had received complaints about the drainage ditch running through properties on the west side of Keele Street, south between Keele Street and the Normaple Subdivision. “In the process of deepening and widening the ditch, the dirt was piled alongside of the ditch and left," he said. Council accepted a committee recommendation that J. S. Grant of the Normaple Developments be advised and requested to see to it that the dirt is levelled. Thornhill Paving en. The material used would be “Dix-seal" which can be laid very thinly, even as low as a quarter of an inch. The road surface is at present in very poor shape and badly cracked in places. allow- ing water to seep underneth. The new surface can be laid very fast. With the strong probability of the new traffic control light system being installed before very many weeks, it was necess- ary to have a good surface to pre- serve the road and at the same time permit the marking of zones, said Commissioner Whalen. Traf- fic will not be delayed much. ed with the help of teachers and other educational experts were necessary in order to provide a proper picture, it was agreed. The debate will be resumed la- ter, when a full board member’ ship is in attendance. Save Taxpayers’ Money The road committee told coun- cil that replies from ratepayers in Thornhill on the matter of paving, show that the majority do not support such a project which would have been on a local im- provement basis. Mr. Keffer said that since the Ontario Municipal Board would not approve of a capital program without the sup- port of the majority of the pro- perty owners, his committee would recommend that applica- tion for approval of the proposed capital undertaking be deferred. Council deferred action on the matter of constructing a drainâ€" age ditch from Crestwood Road to Steeles Avenue to alleviate a drainage problem on lots 57 and 58 on Crestwood Road until the necessary easements are made available to Vaughan. Council instructed the staff to prepare, for the committee’s consideration, a program for the collection of culvert accounts en- tailing the removal of culverts not yet paid for. The committee had reported that about 15 per cent of the culverts installed in past ditching programs had not yet been paid for. Monday, August 7th, will be Civic Holiday in Rich- mond Hill, the necessary proclamation having been authorized by town council this week. Banks will be closed all day, giving staffs a holiday from the six o'clock closing“ 9n Friday to Tuesday mom- mg. The general delivery wick- et at the post office will be open from 8 am. to noon. Money order and other wick- ets will be closed and there will be no house-to-house deliveries.

She was a Past Worthy Matron of Hillcrest Chapter, No. 100, Or- der of the Eastern Star; lst Presx- dent of Ladies Auxiliary of Rob- ertson Lodge. She was a member at Maple United Church and Maple Women’s Institute. Her natural charm and warm interest in people stood Mrs. Wells in good stead as she took an active part as past executive member of York North Women's Progressive Conservative Assoc- iation. Local politics became in- creasingly interesting to Mrs. Wells and she became perhaps the first lady Election Clerk for York North Riding.

He told thr world about it in a classified ad. No sooner had the paper ap- peared, said Mr. Wyatt, than his telephone started ringing. With- in almost a matter of minutes the pressure system had been sold - and at Mr. Wyatt’s asking price.

Mr. Harley said that the auth- ority had first rented the area on Yonge Street owned by Principal Investments Ltd. He felt that it had been of real value to the down-town area. Now, he said, it was being given up so that a more permanent arrangement could be developed. Merchants had offered to let the authority have space at the rear of their premises but it was unwise to go further than the post office prop- erty at the present time on ac- count of drainage problems. To put down a good base would cost approximately $3,000. Councillors agreed with the plan, referring the matter to the finance commit- tee for action. His comments drew support from Councillors Whillans and Broadhurst, both of whom felt es men discussed various points in connection with the parking ban proposed for Yonge Street. “We are not here to criticize." Mr. Taylor said. “We’re here to lo what we can in connection with a bad Situation.” He could see that there was need of a ban during the evening rush hour but ques- tioned the need of one on the west side of Yonge Street in the eerly morning. “You don’t see traffic jams in the morning." he told councillors. Whillans, Broadhurst Agree Asked by Councillor Tom Broadhurst why the Principal In- vestmen-t lot was being given up, Mr. Taylor said that it was being done to force a permanent solu- tion' of the parking problem. While a number of business men had been paying for the Princi- pal Investments lot, others had been using it for themselves without contributing anything. He agreed with Councillor Broad- hurst that the "stop-gap” parking had been expensive to all parties but contended that it had provid- ed the only available solution at the time. Working in evident harmony on the parking and traffic situa- tions, council members and busin- The area at the back of the post office building, in the rear of a number of stores on the west side of Yonge Street, would be given a solid base so that it could be used for off-street parking immediately, members of Richmond Hill Town Council decided at their regular meeting this week. The base, it was agreed, could be surfaced later as parking plans were developed, That was as far as it Was wise to go at the present time, Chairman Al. Harley of the Town Parking Authority told members of council. Discu5sing parking bans and parking lots, President Taylor, speaking for down-town business men and women, said that his committee had been working with the parking authority. Thirty down-town business people had been paying $4 a month each to take care of the charge on the Principal Investments lot, an am- ount equivalent to taxes.

"There's no use plac- ing restrictions until they are called for," said Councillor Whil- lans. He said that he had been travelling southwards every mor- ning for five years and had not yet seen the need for it. Coun- cillor Broad‘hurst suggested that the police committee be asked to study the situation. D.H.O. Calls Tune It became evident as the dis- cussion proceeded that the De- partment of Highways was calling the tune on parking bans, due .to its part in putting up the bulk 01 the money for the new system stop lights which will contrpl’ Yonge Street traffic. Councillor A1. White contended that the de- partment must have made an ex- pert study of the situation and said-that council might be able to bargain with the department. “But,” he said, “if the depart- ment says that the bans have to be established I'll go along." Mayor Haggart said that he couldn't see the morning ban and suggested that the Department of Highways should be consulted again. His committee had no de- sire to make things tough for the merchants on Yonge Street, said Deputy-reeve John Bradstock, chairman of the police commit- tee. He felt that the new traffic light system would not be ready for three months and by that time the off-street parking prob- lem might be settled. Department Pays Most A _ __J Members of Richmond Hill Town Council authorized the signing of a subdivision agree- ment, at their meeting this week, with Hector Grant, covering a small sub-division on Mill Street. There are nine lots in the pro- perty. One is to be deeded to the municipality as park land. Another already has a house on it, leaving seven lots on which‘the sub-divider will pay $500 per lot for services. A performance bond covering fifty per cent of the cost of sewers and other services will be obtained. Cost of the Yonge Street traffic control lights will he approxi - ately $30,000, letter from to Department of Highways told council. Approximately $22,745 will be paid by the provincial government, with $7,255 to be paid by the town. The department laid down the times at which it was expected parking bans would be in effect.
