The statement brought forth from Reeve Floyd Perkins the observation that Mr. Deeks was too valuable an employee to be burdened with secretarial duties and was of the opin- ion that the municipality could surely afford to hire secretarial assistance for the task. ‘ Mr. Deeks said thevp'lanifig board had attempted to iron out the problem of obtaining secretarial help in the past but so far hadn’t been very success- ful. At the present time one stenographer is shared by plan- ning board and the industrial commission. Deputy-reeve Stanley ‘Tinker expressed some doubt as to whether the industrial commis- sion would have enough work to preclude the stenographer from carrying out whatever work had to be done by the planning board. Mr. Sayers was told that it was unfortunate that, due to pressure of work on Mr. Harold Deeks Richmond Hill planning director who has been called upon in the past to take down the minutes of planning board meetings. that minutes of the last two meetings had not been prepared.

The dogs had been spotted running loose in the area or the past two weeks until David Hibbard, five, managed to coax the male to give up what was then thought to be “her” pups. Mr. Ryan said the dog obviously had sacrificed its own health to care for the young ones. He said it was possible the four animals had beendumped off on Don Mills Road or wandered there. He hopes to find homes for them. (Photo by Barbour) A male dog became “a. mother” in one of the most unusual display noted by Canine Inspector James Ryan. Planning Board Briefs New Teachers Guests At Reception David And His Friends ‘ Mr. D. D. Glanfield of 9 ‘Palmer Avenue requested plan- ning board’s consideration of rezoning the land on which his property stands for commercial use. Mr. Glanfield told the board that his attempts to sell his property for use as a pri- vate dwelling had met with failure which, he claimed, was due to the fact that the prop- erty was too close to a service station and a restaurant. The board reserved discussion on the request for committee of the whole.

RICHMOND HILL MINOR TUNE-UP jLibrary Board Discusses Tri-County Federation Mrs. Townsend pointed out the recent additions to the Pub- lic Libraries Act of the prov- ince. which allows libraries within three or more counties to federate loosely for their mutual advantage. This co-op- erative effort is supported by provincial grants and small op- erating charges for specific services. The area for Richmond Hill would include the counties of York. Ontario and Peel with Metropolitan Toronto. Metro Not Interested Principal advantages for the smaller libraries would be the availability of reference col- lections from larger libraries in the area. Exchange of books through inter-library loan would be encouraged and the regional or district libraries would be able to handle some of this reference and exchange work.

Vaughan Council gave Rich- vale ratepayer Brian Bailey one week's stay of execution in his bid to save the community’s hall on Birch Ave. If the township approves the take-over, a board of trustees will be organized with two re- presentatives from council and five from the Pinegrove com- munity and it will be tax-free. The board will have to provide insurance for the hall, council said. ’ The council has received ten- ders to demolish the building built by ratepayers in the area about 15 years ago which is now boarded up and in need of interior repair. Total cost of the project over the years has amounted to approximately $20,000 and Mr. Bailey said Mr. Bailey admitted to coun- cil Monday night he hadn’t ac- complished much in his efforts to keep the building upright. There was a suggestion made that a service club might be formed to take over, repair and run the building. Councillor G. W. Keffer said one of the reasons why the building was run down was lack of co-operation in the area. Reeve A. H. Rutherford said council was disappointed that no one had notified the town- ship that the building’s insur- ance had run out before the fire a year ago which damaged the interior. A delegation representing the Pinegrove Memorial Hall appeared before council to ask that the township take over the building. Deeds and titles were handed over through the coun- cil to the township solicitors. A community project, the hall built on a $1.500 lot has no mortgage on it. the dele- gation spokesman said. Taxes this year were expected to be approximately $160.
