He said a North York subdivision was up for approval by Metro and Markham objected but had only learned of the plans three days before the approval was due. Mr. Whillans said he felt that to enlarge the Metro Board would make it "unwieldy" if they included members from each municipality. He said it would be better to get a well- qualified person to represent the area "rather than a past politician in favour with the current council". Mr. Sayers was directed to form a letter to the Metro Board. Observing at the Metro meetings have been Howard Whillans and Chairman Cecil Williams. Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker said Vaughan and Markham bordering Metro in terms of their vacant land had different planning problems to Richmond Hill. Chairman Williams stressed the co-operation existing bet- ween Metro and Richmond Hill's planning director.

Councillor Scudds, Reeve Floyd Perkins, Mayor Neal, Deputy-reeve Stan Tinker and Councillor Alex Camp- bell voted to enforce the zoning by-law, while Coun- cillors Al White, and Tom Murphy voted against the motion, maintaining that council should await more definite opinion from the town's solicitor. Councillor Walter Scudds agreed, saying, “If you be- lieve he is operating against the provisions of the by- law, you must enforce the by-law.” Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker said that he would like to see the matter re- solved as quickly as poss- ible. “We are not here to persecute", he said. “I want to get Pop off the hook. As long as bylaw 1000 is on the books we must en- force it. If the by-law is not serving its pupose, let's amend it.
