Comp (Continued on page 3) ap Bid To Form ork_Wide Force After over two years of intensive study, York County Council last week overwhelmingly turned thumbs down on a proposed county-wide police force. The vote was 19 to 9 against the motion sponsored by Deputy-reeve I. L. Mumberson of Markham Township. Council’s action followed study of reports made in 1960 by County Court Judge Johnstone L. Roberts of i Niagara Falls, and Magistrate C. O. Bick of Toronto, on all phases of setting up one police administration in the county. ‘7 Juage Rob'erts was the foun- ‘derr of the provincial police col- lege. VOL. 84, NUMBER 7 ‘ Mr. Mumberson replied: } “You can’t figure the pro- } tection of life and prop- erty in dollars and cents. That’s the prime function of any law enforcement agency.” “The second and third func- tions are prevention of crime and apprehension of the crim- inal. Under the present system, no municipality can aflotd spe- cialists for a criminal investi- gation bran-oh," Mr. M‘umber- ‘son stated. Judge Roberts was appointed by the attorney-general: office to look into all aspects of a county force when council first ordered a study of the problem two years ago. According to Mr. Mumber- son, chairman of the police committee, a county force would be independent of coutn- ty administration. It would be under the supervision of a county court judge. a police court judge and the county warden. he said. J. H. A-ndemnn, peeve of Georgina Town-ship, asked how the cost for a county? ystcm would -'c'omp'are with mesent costs. ‘11 CuALLcu. ucvapnuucuw at, w tered across the county would The north Window‘wau Will u man on buildm shalve to be almost completely gem? outset): h}; grazed g replaced as well as part of the However, ML Mumbemon south wall: Majority of the .in- was of the opinion there would Side .pal‘mlon Wills are 1“??de be a Shomalge of available jail repairs and ceilings are twisted Tcells in the near future, and out Of Shape’ Mr' Hopper t°ld - - “ ' 1” Tuesday. that most bu11d1n'gs would pro- The Llpem .

Reeve Floyd Perkins of Rich- mond Hill, who voted against the motion, questioned Mr. Mumberson about the future of present municipal police buil- dinlgs. He expressed a fear that substantial municipal invest- ments in such buildings would go down the drain. Head Office Here? Head office of any county force would likely 'be in a large town such as Newm‘arket or Richmond Hill, Mr. Mumberson predicted. Detachmen‘ts scat- tered across the county would occupy many police buildings at the outset, he added. }reeve of Richmond Hill, stated “I think the recent explosion‘ in Maple proved the efficiency of the county‘s present mutual- aid system," said Reeve Albert Rutherford-of Vaughan Townq ship. “The system seems to be3 capable of coping with any emergency." Deputy-reeve Jesse A. Bryson supported his views. “We in Vaughan are pretty proud of the amalgamated police and fire departments we have now. We would be pretty reluctant to give it up un- less we were sure we had something better to re- place it."

He also quest-I ioned the value of the report from Magistrate Bick. “The police needs for York County are not the some as for Metropolitan Toronto,” he sug- gested. f‘York County is largely semi-rumal yet, with an area of} over 600 square miles. Metro is a densely populated area of 100 square miles.” Mr. Broad- hurst arnd Reeve Floyd Perkins of Richmond Hill voted against the motion. :Reeveakaom k‘bnniock (of Woodbri ‘ge, dis ’msed the county system as not being worthwhile. “It would be nice to have a county police force, a county welfare system. and so on, but the costs are becoming astronomical. Where do we draw the line?" Council passed a motion dis- solving flhe police committee after the county force had been rejected. Damage to the Vaughan Township municipal building from the recent explosion and fire at the Superior Propane plant in Maple will hit the $50,000 figure, according to township engineers Duncan and Hopper. Officials of the firm said this week that extensive damage was done to a large portion of the $350,000 structure by the Aug. 4 blast.

Markham Township Council Monday afternoon gave first and second reading to a bylaw which would prohibit the use of firearms in the built-up areas of the township DEPUTY T. BROADHURST . . . Votes No The bylaw will apply to the area between Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue as well as the area south of Highway 7 and as far west as Con. 8. Penalty for violation of the bylarw is $300. Farmers in the area would be able to use firearms of under .2 calibre or shotguns of .12 gauge or less to protect their property. In addition, organ- ized hunts or shooting matches will be permitted.

Mr. Hein has employed Chan Wah (Rieung' and Chan Lung Hing to work in his restaurant. Chan Lung Hing’s wife will be a housemaid in his home. Big Day For K. Williams Tomorrow At CNE “I hired them for two mas-i ons," he said. “First, because these people have had enough hardship and poverty, and I want to give them a chance to make‘ a fresh start in Canada.” He has provided them with accommodation near the res- taurant and supplied them with clothing and persona-1 be- longin-gs. “In the second place, I hope others in the Chinese commun- i'ty will be encouraged to fol- lo suit and hire other refu- gees." The three are at work this week washing dishes, clearing tables, peeling potatoes and other tasks. Mr. Hem said that within three months they should have learned enough about the business to act as waiters or cooks. Chu Sui Kwan appears well qualified for her job, having been a housemaid in China, Mr. Hein said. The restaurnant owner said he made it quite clear to all three that this country is a democra- cy and that they are free to give notice any time they feel like it. “After speaking with them at the immigration oflice, I felt that they wanted to learn. They are willing. and that is all I need," Mr. Hein stated. Mr. Hei‘n, who was born in Canada, said he will spend con- siderable time with the new- comers each day helping them tr leavpn our language. He expected they would have little trouble settling down in the land of their choice. Councillor A1 White, Chairman of Richmond Hill Police and Fire Committee stated to “The Liberal” to- day that council is consid- ering a report on the stor- age and handling of all gas products prepared by Fire Chief Alfred Stong and Police Chief R. P. Robbins. “The report and all reg- ulations concerning the stor- age and handling of gas will have careful review and study by the committee and council members," said Councillor White. “Natural- ly," he said, “there has been some uneasiness and concern since the Maple explosion."

The motion directed the war- den, Reeve William Sellers of Sutton, and Reeve Wilfred Dean of Markham Township, chair- man of the county welfare com- mittee. to meet with officials of the Department of Public Welfare.

Mr. Perkin-s, former chairman of the committee, admitted ther! were flaws in the plan but ex- pressed hope that they could be ironed out before it became finalized. “Cannot Order Removal' Plurality vote on a motion, which would send coun- ty officials to the Minister of Public Welfare to discuss the proposed county-wide system, was passed 33 to 16. The plan, if accepted, would serve as a pilot project for the province. “We have proven in Rich- mond Hill the value of a full-time welfare officer,” he stated. “Our welfare ex- penditures have dropped and not a man fit to work is out of work.” Richmond Hill and Markham Township share a full-time we1-‘ fare officer.
