'Councll Briefs A request from the March of? Dimes to Richmond Hill for a contribptlon in aid of their work was passed on to the fin- ance committee for their con- sideration at the council's Mon- day meeting. The purchase of one acre of| land on Crosby Avenue for. park use at a cost of $5,000 has been approved by council. Ori- ginal appraisal of the land was estimated at $3,600 but such a price did not include the costs of legal fees for expropriation and other costs that would nor- mally be incurred in taking over the land. It was thought that such costs would exceed $1,400 bringing the value of the land up to the $5,000 mark. a price council anticipates will buy the land without the cost of expropriation proceedings. Other tenders submitted to council for laying of the sewer were from: Marina Construction, $34,548; Rut- liff - Grass Construction Company Limited, $43,810; Armstrong Construction Company Limited, $55,175; Alcan-Colony. $33,215: Mc- Donald Sykes Limited, $37,444; Renzetti Construc- Richmond Hill Lions Hall MONDAY MAY 6 Coming Events Hill Council Briefs c1w44 MAY 9 â€" Thursday 2 to 5 p.m.1 evening 7.30 to 9.30 pm.

The total estimated cost of the project was $56,500 but this estimate did not allow for the cost of the land from Councillor A1 White and Reeve Floyd Perkins when a request for a $2,000 contribuo tion came before council at their Monday night meeting. The V.O.N. pointed out in their letter that this year the area of their coverage will be increased to take in a greater part of Markham Township and that it may be necessary to add one nurse and another automobile to their organization. The $2,000 asked for. already ap- propriated in council's budget for 1963, was given without dissent. Permission was granted bycouncil for the York Mental Health Association to canvass residents of the town on June 3 and 4. The canvassers will seek funds to further the work of the organization. Families in Richmond Hill suffer from the lack of a swimming pool, swim- ming instruction and water safety. To relieve this situation a bit the YWCA has obtained the use of the York Mills Pool on Mon- day nights 8.30 - 10 pm. May 6th to June 17th. Single women, married women and their teen- aged daughters will be given expert instruction and prepared for Red Cross tests it they so desire. .These splash parties should be fun but they should also make for safer, hap- pier holidays for local families. Let us hope that Richmond Hill will soon have its own indoor pool for the pleasure and safety of all citizens. YWCA Swim Program Starts May 6 c2w4 if“ BINGB .A Planning Board Chairman Cecil Williams“ opening remarks to the Tues- day night meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Planning Board were aimed at removing any suspicion that may exist that there is any difference of opin- Luv. .. n. ion between the planning board and town council. If there has been any misunderstanding between the two bodies, Chair- man Williams said, it was due to the lack of poor communi- cations a situation which he accepted as being the fault of the planning board. Mr. Wil- liams said that he was more than gratified with the support that council had extended to the planning board and com- mended Planning Director Har- old Deeks for the excellence of the report he recently submit- ted to town council on the mat- ter of town planning for Richâ€" mond Hill. He said that Mr. Deeks had come up with the right answers to the problems confronting the planning board but that the board had fallen down badly in selling such ideas to the public. Chairman Williams announc-‘ ed the resignation of A1 Rice‘ from the planning board and‘ said that the vacancy on theg board created by his resigna- tion should be filled by a per-E son competent in the art of1 public relations. It should be‘ ‘the prime duty of the new in-‘ cumbent to see to it that the aims and objectives of the planning board were adequately communicated to the public through the press and other media before everybody gets the wrong idea of what the planning board is trying to ac- complish. In discussion on the contro- versial matter of issuing a building permit for Pop’s res- taurant Chairman Williams suggested to the board that they do everything possible to help get this matter settled. To this effect board decided to notify both the proprietor of the restaurant and his solicitor that a building permit would be made available to renovate Wants Better Public Relations Three leading members of the Onstage Players of Thornhill Second. ary School won high honours in their presentation of “The Diary of Anne Frank” at Simpson’s Collegiate Drama Festival held last Weekend in the Hart House Theatre.

Such a move it was stated would at least allow the owner of the premises to carry on his business until such times as a building permit could be issued in accordance with the parking bylaws that would per. mit Pop’s restaurant to operate as a licensed liquor outlet. 0n the controversial matter of site plan agreements and approvals Deputy-reeve Stan Tinker queried Planning Dir- ector Deeks about an alleged Richmond Hill Tree Service ' And Forestry Co.

Deputy- reeve Tinker said that such an allegation had been made by‘ prospective builders at Coun- cil's Monday night meeting. In answer Mr. Deeks remind-‘ ed the board that he was not permitted the same latitude of expression afforded to others and took exception to certain statements made in public. (Continued From Page 1) some people want to run the town. Mr. Seaton claimed that Planning Director Deeks had told Mr. Norman Todd, a law- yer acting on behalf of the local builders, that if no one would sign ‘site plan agree- ments' then all building in the town would be held up for a year. Mr. Todd who was one of the delegation confirmed Mr. Seaton's remarks. Queried by Mayor Will- iam Neal as to whether he thought that Richmond Hill needed a planning Board Mr. Griffin offered the suggestion that he did not think the board work- ed too well because it had its thinking done for it by its director. Reeve Floyd Perkins said that that was why the planning dir- ector had been hired and that be for one would not want to question his ability. Dispute Site Plan Agreements “Why not?" asked Mr. Todd, “isn’t that your job as an e1- ected representative of the people?” Mr. Seaton told council that there was a great deal of con- fusion surrounding the whole matter and the first thing to do in resolving the issue was for council to make sure that the tail wasn't wagging the dog. He said that he had no doubt that builders and developers in‘ Richmond Hill would be more than willing to co-operate in every way with authorities and; that if they could get together" over a meeting table that pres-9 ent problems could be solved with no great difficulty. How- ever, Mr. Seaton said, if new‘I imposts were going to be im-' posed they should be imposed with equality and not levied on the principal of making fish of some and fowl of others. He did not like the idea of doing business with a gun pointed at his head. Mr. Seaton also took strong exception to the wording used in a report on town planning recently is- sued by Mr. Deeks, in CO'PACO Pure Pork MITCHELL’S FANCY LEAN Minced “3- 39¢ JIFFY INSTANT Chocolate Del-Monte Fancy Blue Lake Green Beans, Peas, Mix IE“. 0, Cream Style Corn Match 'Em Del-Monte CALIFORNIA NO.

At this point Mr. Todd, legal representative for Wood Lane Developments Limited, said that he was under the impres- sion that the present meeting had been called for the purpose of getting the issue cleared up and asked how much longer it was going to be dragged out. Mayor Neal told Mr. Todd that the matter could not be cleared up at the time but promised that Mr. Todd’s client could look forward to getting his building permit within the week. which he referred to “unin- formed and vicious winds of malicious gossip fan- ning flames destined on destruction, economic rape and anarchy". This type of language Mr. Seaton said was no way to engender good will. AUTOMATIC - STANDARD VOLKSWAGEN Dual Controlled Fully Insured Govt.
