Reeve Wilfred Dean of Mark- ham, and Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker of Richmond Hill. were unsuccessful in getting their amendment to the county’s fin- ance committee report which had recommended only main- tenance be carried out during 1963. Cost of paving the one and a quarter miles was estimated at $224,000, with the county paying $56,000 as their share. Earlier this year the Toronto and York Roads Commission had indicated it could not ac- cept Bayview into its system because Metro had refused to pay its 25 per cent share of the cost of paving. The provincial government pays the remaining 50 per cent with Metro and the county sharing the remainder. Starting May 1 the county will look after the main- tenance on Bayview.

Richmond Hill Reeve Floyd Perkins said the road had been a headache to the town for sev- eral years and suggested it was “plain good business” to do the paving this year. “We would have been money in pocket if Bayview had been paved three years ago."

Mr. Campbell said. “Council went against this. That which comes to Mr. Langford in confidence must remain in confidence." Mr. Campbell explained that council had decided in favor of the commissioner rather than the commission, because of the contacts he had built up. "It is essential that the peop- le of Richmond Hill have some understanding of our resolu- tion”, Mr. Graham said. “They should know that dur- ing our terms we have met vir- tually every two weeks," he explained. “In six weeks coun- cil with four new members has apparently decided they have more expert knowledge of our situation than we have." “15 qu LClllla wc nnvc IAICL vu- tually every two weeks," he , . . explained. “In six weeks coun- Prevmus1y “Shed the“ family oil with four new members has allowance Cheques Witt} one of apparently decided they have the merchants, had their names more expert knowledge of our drawn Saturday by Bert Grant. situation than we have." secretary of the merchants as- “Unless there is a radical 509mm)“. r v: change'here, the taxpayers can- Lucky winners were Mrs. 15‘ The lucky "moms", who had not expect to attract any new ra McRoberts, 59 Cather ' industrial assessment."
