Markham Township Court of Revision has suggested a gen- eral re-assessment of property in the township, after sitting for more than a week in the township council chambers, and hearing more than 100 appeals. The court upheld appeals from 23 farmers in the south- ern part of the township whose property was re-assessed at from‘ $50 to $75 per acre. The pm- perty will revert to the old rate of $35 to $38.50 per acre, the assessment prevails in the re- mainder of the township. Decision of the court was based on the fact that rental value of the farm land and pro- ductivity of an owner operated farm varies very little in the township. Another section of the assess- ment act states that “consider- ation shall be given sale value of lands and building for farm purposes, and no consideration shall be given to adjacent lands and buildings." Assessment Commissioner R. J. Thomson contended that land values in the southwest part of the township are much greater than elsewhere in the township. Praise Efforts Of Hill Firemen Following Report Fire Commissioner A1 White lauded the efforts of Chief Alf Stong and the Richmond Hill Fire Department as Chief Stong submitted the 1962 annual re- port of his department at Mon- ‘day night’s meeting of council.

Bonfires were the biggest hazard for the depart- ment, accounting for 52 calls. mflfe lnspectiofls in Richmond Hill during 1962 totalled 599, the report revealed. Chief Stong expressed satis- faction at the headway the de- partment had made in ins-pec- ‘tions of business premises. Matches and cigarette butts were the single greatest cause of fires in Richmond Hill. Twenty-five fires in Richmond Hill and 20 in Markham Town- ship were attributed to this cause. } Other major causes of fires were incinerators, gasoline and gas motors, and electric equip- ment Hill Council Briefs Hill Council Mon- Council approved a grant of} $10 to the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, and a grant of $25 to the Muscular Dystro- Police Chief R.

Town Will Help lTo Purchase Site ifiéféélléfiJJHaggart After Third Term A recommendation from Park Board Chairman Russel Tilt that the town acquire land in the Newkirk Road area as a site for the proposed swimming pool was accepted Monday night by Richmond Hill Coun- The land is to be paid for from the board’s park land pur- chase fund as far as possible, with the balance to be paid for by the town. cil Area of the site is 4.5 acres. The land is zoned industrial but is marked for temporary open ‘space on the official plan. Finance Committee Chair- man Tom Broad'hurst said the town is able to pay some of the purchase price. “Even if we never get a pool, the land will be valuable for park purposes," Mr. Broadhurst suggested. He agreed to have the property evaluated.
