Tallest Bell Tower In N. America w ' PAULINE mm. Prize Winner Six years ago a group of sports-minded Richmond Hill citizens conceived the idea of holding a parade and special celebration to raise funds in aid of a minor ball program. The first parade was small and compara- tively primitive when compared with suc- iceeding parades. However, it did strike a fipark that captured the imagination of Rich- jmond Hill and proved to be a highly success- ful affair. Hoisted atop the newly-constructed Our Lady Queen of the World Roman Catholic Church, Bayview Avenue, Richmond Hill last Friday was this precast concrete bell tower, reportedly the tallest and heaviest on the continent. The tower weighs 85 tons and is 77 feet long. The cross is 33 feet; long, 11 feet wide and will project 16 feet above the top of the tower; its tip from the grade equals the height of a nine-storey apart- ment. Church architects are Gilleland and Jannis with B. J. Arnold, planning consultant and the contractor is Perwin Construction Company Limited. Parish Priest Father F. C. Robinson (see inset) inspects the cross before it was lifted by two huge cranes. VOLUME 84.

A tremendous amount of work and plan- ning goes into the arranging of each parade, with dozens of volunteer workers contributâ€" ing time and talent in many varied ways. Endless as the planning seems to be and in spite of the last-moment hitches that always develop, the parade moves off on its pres- cribed route and timetable. It would seem to prove the old showbusiness adage that it will be all right on the night! r . ‘In Essentials Unity; In Non-Essentials Liberty; District Governor Hugh MacKay installed the executlve or regular meeting last Thursday.

Mr. Scudds pointed out that his parking plan if adopted would substantially increase the‘ town’s assessment by attracting new assessment to the area. He also contended it was the type of scheme that would en- courage the style of develop- ment to add to the prestige and appearance of the town. “HOME PXISER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878” The sale was negotiated by} Harvey ‘Mashinter, sales repre- sentative of the realty firm. Sale price of the Dibb farm was undisclosed, but purchaser is Northern Ontario Building Ltd., a company already hold- ing many hundreds of acres in the adjacent area, greater port- ions of which have been nego- tiated through David McLean Ltd., in co-operation with a trust company.

Councillor Sumner assured council that everyone was willing to wait until the prop- er procedure can be followed and that council would be kept informed of progress. Oppose Rezoning Council directed the plan- ning director to prepare a brief opposing proposed rev zoning by the Township of North York of Lot 25, conces- sion 2, on Steeles Avenue between Bayview and Leslie. Present zoning is rural resi- dential and North York pro- poses changing this to allow for single family. semi- detached and multiple dwel- lings, as well as a commercial area. Markham Planning Board in a report to council express- ed strong opposition to the pro- posal, “as it does not remotely conform with the existing character of the area." Taxi Stand ‘Charles Hooper seconded by ‘Councillor Stewart Rumble that permission be granted to erect a temporary taxi office at the corner of Steeles and Yonge, saw the mover and seconder voting for the motion, with Councillors Sumner and Hoover voting in opposition.‘ Upon assurance by Mr. Beau- lchamp that if many objections were received from ratepayers _in the area, he would remove the temporary structure, Reeve Wilfred Dean cast the decid- ing vote in the applicant’s ’ favor. _ Fruit Stand Mr. GflBeauchamp, operator of the village taxi, again asked permission from council to erect a temporary building to serve as a taxi office at the corner of Steeles and Yonge. He stated the building would also serve as protection from the weather for the public. A motion by Deputy - reeve Residents of Hillsview Drive are a step closer to a municipal water supply with the decision of Markham Township Council Monday afternoon to proceed with' estimates for the installation of watermains and services on this road on a local improvement basis. This area poses special prob- lems as it is a one-sided development. Included in the cost will have to be construction of 1,200 feet of main from the present main to Hillsview Drive. On completion of the estimates, property owners on Hillsview Drive will have to decide whether they wish to go ahead with this local improvement.

Need Water From No. 5We|| Peak water consumption in Richmond Hill was reached recently when lo- cal users taxed the present capacity of operating wells by using 1,200,000 gallons in 24 hours. Local officials have ex- pressed extreme concern over the situation and are bringing pressure to bear on the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission to pro- ceed to develop the No. 5 well immediately. They are impeful that work on this well will get underway in the near future so that the danger of a water shortage will be eliminat- ed. It is estimated that the No. 5 well will meet all demands in the foreseeable future. The well is located on the McKay property near the Dominion store. Richmond Hill is com- mitted to provide water service for the new hospi- tal when it opens in the fall. The hospital will be a large consumer of water. The town also has a com- mitment with Markham Township to provide water for the proposed service on Hillsview Drive in that township. A complete study of the text of Vaughan’s zoning bylaw was recommended by the township’s solicitor through the planning com- mittee. The solicitors said it would be of distinct ad- vantage t0* interpreta- tion and administration of the bylaw if certain ambi- guous sections were clari- fied and revised. Help!
