By a vote of four to three, Richmond Hill Town Council Monday instructed Police Chief R. P. Robbins to collect an ad- ditional $35. license fee from the outside fish and chip wagon that has been carrying on bus- iness in town. The decision to press for the additional fee came after a lengthy debate between council and its police chief as to whether or not the wagon should be subject to a pedlars license with a fee of only $30 or a refreshment truck license with a fee of $125. Vot- ing in favour of making the ad- ditional charge were Mayor Neal, Reeve Floyd Perkins, and Councillors A1. White and Alec Campbell. Opposed were De- puty-reeVe Stanley Tinker and Councillors Walter Scudds and Tom Murphy.

Councillor Campbell felt the license had been granted in er- ror and suggested council re- classify the wagon as a refresh- ment truck and charge the ad- ditional license fee on a pro- rata basis. Councillor Scudds agreed the wrong type of li- cense had been issued, but questioned what could be done to rectify the matter until the first of the new year when the license comes up for renewal. A refresher course will be planned for the future in order to orientate the staff to the new surroundings. Many changes have taken place in hospital environment, particularly new equipment and drugs in the past few years. Personnel policies including an- nual vacation and other fringe benefits will be similiar to those of Metro. Features of the new building include a patient-nurse call system connected from all pat- ient rooms to the nursing sta- tions on each floor. week Miss Gatehouse reported 30 applications from registered nurses and 12 from registered nursing assistants.

A suggestion by Chief Rob: blns that the wagon OWner stop selling soft drinks and just sell the one item failed to placate a majority of council.

Markham Police said the youngster who is visiting with his grandfather Lawrence E. Ostera ran across John Street into the path of a car driven by Norman Ewing, Montreal St., Stouffville. He suffered scratches and bruises. No charges were laid. Damage was $350 following an accident at the Fifth Con- oesslon and Highway 7 when a car driven by John Alexander Craig of Gormley banged into a hydro pole.

In the matter of classify- ing municipalities as either urban or rural for purposes of enumeration Mr. Findlay stated that towns of 5,000 and over and townships of 10,000 or over in population will be classed as urban. In the urban municipalities the province allows two enumer- ators in each poll. In each urban poll there will be a government (Conservative) enumerator and an enumer- ator representing the party that came second in the last provincial election. In York North the other enumerator will be an appointee of the Liberal party. In the rural areas there will only be one enumerator in each poll. All these appointees will be made by the government party.

DONALD FINDLAY King City Lawyer Reeve Floyd Perkins and Deputy-peeve Stanley Tinker, Richmond Hill's two represen- tatives on county council, were hopeful the matter of the pav- ing of Bayview Ave. would be discussed at Wednesday night’s1 special county session. Reeve Perkins had asked Warden Clarence Davis to have the mat- ter put on the agenda for this special session. Deputy-reeve Tinker suggested town council seek a meeting with the spe- cial roads committee of the county in an endeavour to try and get some county action on ‘the paving. ' Richmond Hill Town Council heeded the plea of its police chief and decided Mon- day to send two rather than one constable on a 10 week course at the provincial police college at Aylmer starting October lst. Council had earlier turned down a similar request from Chief Robbins for permission to al- low two men to attend the course. In another four to three vote Deputy-reeve Stanley Tin- ker and Councillors Walter Scudds. A1. White and Tom Murphy all voted to reverse council’s earlier decision. Vot- ing against the proposal were Mayor William Neal. Reeve Floyd Perkins and Councillor Alec Campbell. Chief Robbins maintain- ed the local force is both undermanned and under- trained. In reply to ques- tions he reported the force has three untrained cons- tables at present and will soon have four. Richmond Hill has 13 constables on strength. Chief Robbins had sought permission to hire an additional three men this year. However his request was cut down to two men by the police Special Session Bayview Paving Mayor William Neal reported that he, Clerk Russell Lynett and Works Commissioner Otto Whalen had recently discussed a temporary hard top for Bay» View with County Engineer Jack Rettie.

The Toronto and York Roads Commission had offered to pave this section provided the county, Metro and the province pro- vided the necessary funds. The county refused but compromised by taking over Bayview from Mark- ham Rd. north to the Whit- church-Markham Towniine. The next step is to get county council to provide the necesary funds for the paving. Mayor William Neal has a problem. He has received a complaint from a west side citizen objecting to a local resident keeping chickens in a residential area. Town officials doubt there are any ordinances forbidding the keeping of chickens in a residential area.

Chief Robbins said the police in our sister municipali- ties of Markham and Vaughan are also understaffed. Vaughan who just hired three more men should have another three.
