The budget for 1963 is up slightly over 20 per cent. he said, while enrolment has increased 16 per cent and teachers’ salaries 24 per cent. Last year teachers' salaries ac- counted for 54 per cent of the budget. This year it will be 56 per cent. Last year 30 additional teach- ers were hired, this year an- other 16 will be needed. Prov- incial grants will take care of 28 per cent of the budget this year - last year the percentage was 29. Enrolment will increase every year, claimed the chair- man, until by 1969-70 it will practically double itself.

She is still intensely in- terested in all aspects of life in her community. 97th Birthday This contrasts sharply with the Metro area where in 1962 vandalism in parks exceeded $20,000 and is expected to be much greater this year. The Metro Parks Board is pressing the Ontario Legislature for leg- islation to make parents respon- sible for damages caused by their children. Locally, damage has been confined to a couple of broken swings and teeter-totters, and seats being upset. The con- clusion would seem to be that Richmond Hill teenagers are reasonably well behaved, said the parks chairman. Vandalism in Richmond Hill parks has been at a low ebb this year according to Allan Smyth, chairman of the parks committee.

S. Gadsby of the planning board. “If your income was cut 30% would you want higher taxes?” “There is a class of taxpay- er today that cannot stand any mare unless the econ- omy of the country gets healthier than now.” Mr. Hoover was no doubt re- ferring to the dairy farmer who has suffered because of new dairy procedures and finds his milk check great- ly depleted. Councillor Rumble agreed with Mr. Hoover, stating he “feared for" the taxpayers of Markham Township. He said that in 1954, when he became a member of the York Central District High School Board, the high school mill rate was 8 mills. Today it is 25 mills. “This rise came under plan- ned progress,” said Mr. Rum- ble, and asked “How far can we go?" This week he reversed his position, noting that the wells in question are under expropriation and should be in service this autumn. Also, he said, Metro has indicated its willingness to co-operate. At that time Reeve 7W. R. Dean voted with Councillors C. Hoover and S. Rumble to defeat the request. The door to industrial development of the much disputed jail farm property‘ at Langstaff was open- ed Monday of this week, with Markham Township Council’s agreement to allow the Markham Town- ship Planning Board to release stage 2 of the de- velopment area near Thornhill. Previously, council had turned down the sug- gestion that these lands be released before acquis- ition of the North York wells was a certainty, and Metro’s position regarding the farm was clear.
