Albert BroWn ( oiffures, the Richmond Heights Centre Association decided to dispose of the merchandise by drawing for each item. The matter of the building last came up at a council meet- ing May 29, 1961, when the ratepayers asked council not to allow apartments in the area. Discussion of the Hurlvbur-t Apartments was revived at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Richmond Hill Planning-Board An objection to their erection came in a letter from the West Central Ratepayers Commit- tee. Permission to erect such a building in the area would re- quire an amumendment to the present 'zoning bylaw. Both the planning board and rate- payers have objected in the past to such ammendments be- cause they would decrease the effectiveness of any attempts at town planning and lead to J‘spot zoninug." This resulted in 37 winners, plus a winner of $100 cash bon- us for being present at the draw held Saturday afternoon. Winners were. Eileen Good- man, (3) M. Cardinal, George Reid, (2), Mrs. R. Lund.

Forty happy people walked away with merchandise and cash prizes at the gigantic se- cond anniversary celebration held last week at the Richmond Helights Centre in Richmond Hi 1. Board members suggested Monday night that ammen‘d- ments should be avoided until Planning Director Harold Deeks could complete his study of the redevelopment problems in the downtown area. Proposed building of the Queen Apartments in this area would create many of the same problems, said the board. Pla-n- ning Board members felt the area where these apartments would be built (Elizabeth and Centre), was in need of rede- ‘velopment. ‘;vx.n.u», "u. “DEA. u uvivnn yvuAl . ’ '- h D b ’ . osed Slte of the Hurlburt Ap- Clllfgatcgglets ewelelceglllafirfign?§r artmen‘ts are only $1,000, ~ ~ - . public llfe w14th a background whereas taxes on the new bu11d- of 10 years of service as 3 mg would be $17'000' the board member of the staffs of Vaugh- Pfesent taxes on the prop- STOUFFVILLE : Approximate- 1y 405 cords of pulpwood have been sold from the Vivian For- est to the Ontario Paper Com- pany.

The audit did not take place until some time later, and the error was dis- covered avt the last moment, so that hurried revision of the budget was necessary for the 1962 tax bills. Ratepayers Critical A $78,682.42 overpayment of grant in 1961 by the Depart- ment of Education to the Vau- gih‘a‘n Township School Area Board received lengthy discus- sion at a meetng of the board last week. The~discussion was prompted by the reading of a letter from the department, thanking the board for bringing the error to their attention and setting forth the terms of repayment. One-third or $26,227.47, will be recovered from the depart- ment from the 1962 grant, and the other two-thirds will be collected in 1963. The board had hoped to have the repay- ment spread over’three years. Trustee Terry Goodwin point- ed out to the ratepayers in attendance that the department al grant structure ls very com- plicated. He stated that flhe board had the ended the year with an appar- to J em surplus of approxima'tqu T $79,000, but during budget 0113- age cussion-s he had raised some gib questions about the origin of and this large surplus. dai In answer to critical com- ments by a couple of ratepay- ers, “The Liberal” reporter, the only representative‘of the founding and growth of the vol- untary haspital movement in Canada.

Murray Harris of the au- diting firm of Wilton Ed‘dis and Company and staff members explained how the depart- ment’s error occwrred. Briefly it dates back to the setting up of the Va-ug‘han Township School Area in Dec- ember 1959. The area was re- quired to pay to other boards $139,111.81 for the capital as- sets (school buildings and conâ€" tents). The department paid Vaughan School Area a grant on the debenture raised to pay this sum. The department intends to continue paying on the out- standing debenture.

Mr. Harris commented: “I don‘t know how we could have known we were overpaid. It was a very unusual set of cir- cumstances." The administrative staff took their fin-dings to the depart- ment and spent three days with department officials in arriv- ing at a solution to the prob- lem. The department’s letter expressed gratitude to the staff for bringing the error to its attention. Members of the board spoke in praise of the hard work puvt,in by the staff in discovering this discrepancy. The auditor commented that it The department intends to continue paying on the out- standing debenture.
