‘Mr. White was of the opinion that before any money is spent a plebiscite should be held to get. the feelings of metaxpayers. Richmond .ull 'i‘own Council Monday night endorsed the ef- forts being made to provide a swimming pool and accepted in principal the provision of land for this purpose The motion. sponsored oy Deputy-reeve Thomas Broad- hurst. called for three provis- ions: «At The land held for park purposes until the pool commit- tee has funds to commence con- struction. , Mr. MacDiarmid, who is head- ing up the pool committee, said it might be six months to a year before plans are finalized. The committee has not releas- ed location of sites under con- sideration although it is under- stood il may be located in the north-east section of town. (B) Finance commutes anu- ity to recommend an acceptable method of financing land. (C) Detailed estimates of op- erating costs and method for capital financing by swimming pool committee. He told Mr. MacDiarmid his motion was misleading to the public and that it intimated a pool would be a reality. The finance chief sug- gested if a site is purchased it be used for park purposes until the ‘pool committee had funds to start construc- tlon. He said it might be consid- erable time before money would be available and in the mean- time the land could be utilized as a park. Mr. Campbell in voting ag- ainst the first motion said it was “like buying a pig in a poke". “Although I am in general agreement with the pool and centre together I would like specific details from the finance committee." he stated. It was also, endorsed by the planning board. industrial com- mhsion, parks board and recre- ation committee. Mayor James l-Iaggart said the land could be bought through the park purchase fund subject to Ontario Municipal Board approval. Council’s approval in princi- pal camc after defeat of a mo- tion sponsored by Councillors John MacDiarmid and A1 White. Their resolution asking for approval of a combined com- munity centre and swimming pool. went down to defeat when At a meeting held September 18 the pool committee made a firm decision to proceed with an indoor pool. Markham Planti To Be Completed‘ Early December Councillors Mrs. Margaret Southwell and Alec Campbell along with Mr. Broadhurst ob-l jected to the wording. | Mr. Broadhurst, chairman of the finance committee. said all council can give at this stage is approval in principal stating the pool committee had a lot more to do on the project before it could be finalized.

Jones of 333 Browndale Cres., commented. "A five year old should not be asked to walk as far as Crosby Heights." The problem of children crossing heavily travelled South Taylor Mills Drive unassisted became a major issue during the meeting. Those were the figures revealed by Board Chair- man Harold Sanderson at a special meeting between the board and parents Tuesday night at Crosby Heights School. Parents in the Beverley Acres area from North Tay- lor Mills Drive between Kerswell and South Taylor Mills Drive, Browndvale Crescent and South Taylor Mills Drive between Neal Drive and Blue Grass Boulevard were asked in a board letter to register their children September 24 at Crosby Heights. Thirty- three children were affect- ed. “At present, there's no. body to supervise children crossing the street,” com- mented Ron Biggar of 242 North Taylor Mills Drive. Sixteen kindergarten pu- pils have already transfer- red from Beverley Acres to Crosby Heights Public School in Richmond Hill. at the school board's request. Some of the 35 parents who attended the meeting had refused to comply with the board’s directions. Several parents comment- ed that they bought homes in the Beverley Acres area because they were close to schools. Mr. Sanderson replied that neither his nor any other school board in On- tario has the authority to appoint a school crossing guard. “This responsibility is council’s" he told the meeting. “We have requested a crossing guard and have been told that council’s pol- ice committee does not have the money to hire one," he stated.

Derek of 338 Browndale Cres. deplored the lack of planning by the town. “This wouldn't have happened if the future en- rolment in this area had been accurately predicted," he said. “Why should parents in the more established part of Beverley Acres be pun- ished for council’s mistakes in Birchwood Village?" he asked. "We wouldn’t have en- ough money to send our police chief to California if we paid a crossing guard,” commented one of the parents. Indications are that the board will not force any more parents to send child- ren to Crosby Heights ag- ainst their will. The board had been for- ced to take some action when an unexpectedly large kindergarten enrolment of 139 registered at Beverley Acres. Since only 76 regis- tered at Crosby -»He-ig»hts, transfer of some pupils was picked ,byflthelhoardwas a logical solution to the prohs lem. When Mrs. Marilyn Crowe, 238 North Taylor Mills Drive; asked what would happen to children who continued to attend kindergarten at Beverley Acres, Mr. Sanderson told her the problem would have to be discussed. Mr. Sanderson emphasiz- ed that the transfer would be for 1963 only. He predic- ted that the board would make a definite decision re- garding Beverley Acres for 1963-64. Expected kindergarten enrolment at Beverley Ac- res was only 116, Mr. San- derson told the meeting. Both schools have two kin- dergarten classrooms and teachers. Since kindergar- ten pupils attend for only half of each school day, this meant each school had to accommodate its enrolment in four classes. This worked out to 35 per class in Beverley Acres and 19 at Crosby Heights. Ideally, a kindergarten class should include 30 pupils. @QJE jeei) {in-med H911inrake “In Essentials Unity; In Non-Essentials Liberty; In All Things Charity’ REPORT SHOWS DEGLIN’E IN GNVENTION 00$TS David 1 Sal-I, ' 19, Wood- bridlge, am $cobt Allex‘a‘nder, 24, Weston. were each fined $50 and costs or 15 days in jail.

Some 436 pupils have registered. At the same time Mr. Roberts announced the ap- pointment of former May- or James Otton of New- market to a similar posi- tion in th Newmarket area, The information was made public following a request from Councillor John MacDiarmid at an earlier meeting this month. He had asked for a review of expenses and a study of the town’s convention pol-icy. Mr. Broadhurst, who is also‘ finance chairman, unleashed a verbal attack against the press for what he termed “irrespon- sibility” in giving excess cover- age to Mr. MacDiarmid’s re- quest. He took issue with the wordl "probe" used in a headline car-‘ tied in this paper September 13 stating the word had “implied connotations” and tended to mislead the public. “Convention expenses or any other expenses are an open book as long as I am finance chairman. T my knowledge there has been no excessive spending by offic- ials attending conventions and the rumor that delegates have taken their wives and charged their expenses to the town is unfounded,” Mr. Broadhurst told the meeting. Convention expenditures of Richmond Hill officials dropped almost 10 per cent during 1962 compared to last year according to a report tabled Monday night by Deputy-reeve Thomas Broadhurst. Expenses this year total $2,247.39, 3 drop of $227 .46 from a high of $2,474.87 in 1961. Number of officials attending conventions also decreased from 17 to 14. “This may have been done in the‘ past but not since I have been chairman.” Mr. Broadhurst said it was nobody’s business if a delegate took his own wife or somebody else’s wife as long as the town was not charged for it. In 1961 five council members and one planning board member attended three conventions at a cost of $768.62. They were Mayor J-ames Hag-: gart (2); Reeve F. R. Perkins (2); Councillor Mrs. Margaret Southwell (1), and planning board member C. R. Williams (1). Chief Constable R. P. Robbins headed the list attending four conventions, Ontario Chief Con- stables Association; Chief Con- stables Seminar; Canadian Chief Constables Association and the Ontario Traffic Conference. Also in the same year 11 em- ployees attended 10 conven- tions. . Others attending were: As- sessor H. Cable; Assessment Commissioner Robert Johnston; (Continued On Page 18) That husky isn’t really going to eat the chi- huahua alive. It just looks big enough to.

Municipal Board Wants Estimate Debenture Needs The Ontario Municipal Ed. has again asked Rich- mond Hill for a five year estimate of capital expen- ditures for the period from 1963 to 1967. The board is asking some 130 munici- palities throughout the province including Rich- mond Hill for such a sur- vey. The estimates must be filed with the board by next January ls-t. Richmond Hill prepared a similar estimate for the board covering the period from 1961 to 1965. All local boards and commissions dependent on the munici- pality for their debentures will be asked to prepare an estimate of flheir future needs. PER COPY 10c
