Combat: Biggest Outbreak 0f ‘62 The blaze, fought in near-zero temperatures, caused an estim- ated $10,000 damage to the re-‘ pair shop and garage of Murray Acreman's wrecking yard near Headford in Markham Town- ship. The building and equip- ment, only partially covered by insurance, were a total loss. Richmond Hill Fire Depart- ment had to contend with one of its largest fires of the year last Saturday. Included in the loss were two cars, one a stock racing ma- chine, : tow truck. a complete welding set and a number of valuable tools. No positive proof as to how the fire was started was immed- iately? available. _ During the three-and-one-half hour battle, wa’cer was supplied to the Richmond Hill depart- ment by the Markham Township water truck and also one from the Hill. It was feared that n house and barn which were close to the fire would 1150 be ignited if the‘ wind blew sparks onto them.‘ Said Fire Chief Alfred Stung, “If the wind had changed we would have had a much larger fire on our hands". The frame building was burn- ing so badly when the fire de- partment arrived that there was little to save. { Vaughan Township police de- i‘partment had another near- re- wcord day in court last Monday, when 91 cases were scheduled Vaughan Police Radar Creates Many Charges to be dealt with.

Hydro Rates In Ontario Among Lowest InWorId Ontario's electrical utilities are not spending enough time in directing public attention to the fact that their power rates are among the lowest in the world. Addressing delegates attend- ing the 53rd annual meeting of the Association of Municipal El- ectrical Utilities in Toronto, J. M. Hambley, Ontario Hydro’s general manager, said the most recent figures show that, on the average, a kilowatt-hour of electric energy costs an Ontario householder only 1.34 cents com- pared with 2.5 cents in the Uni- ted States. The association is lmeeting jointly in Toronto this week with a partner organiza- tion. the Ontario Municipal Electric Association. “I often feel that we spend too little time and effort in di- recting our customers' attention to the fact that there are few, if any. commodities as reason- ably priced as electric energy"’ he said. Extra Rush Seen For I962 Plates At Closing Date Positively no extension of the final date for securing 1962 car licences - midnight. March 14 - will be made. motor vehicle licence issuer William Neal of Richmond Hill told “The Liber- al.” He said that he had re- ceived definite word from To- ‘ronto to that effect. ‘ ‘ He envisaged longer-than-us- ual last minute lineups. On March lst, he said, the issue of licences had been considerably- and he emphasized “consider- ably” - below normal. That meant only one thing, he de- clared - a big rush in the final days. Particularly noticeable this year, said Mr. Neal. was the number of people who called up asking the latest date at which they could get licences. He interpreted this to mean that many were deliberately putting purchases off to the last iminute.
