On a recorded vote the bylaw was defeated. Vot- ing in favour of the bylaw as it was drafted were Councillors Thomas Mur- phy and Walter Scudds and Deputy-reeve Tinker, all members of the police committee. Voting against were Councillors Alex Campbell. Allan White and Mayor William Neal. The tie was broken by Mayor Neal casting the deciding vote in the negative. Chairman Thomas Murphy of the police committee gave notice that he will bring the bylaw back to the next meet- ing of council and requested that Solicitor J. D. Lucas be asked to be present to explain the legal phraseology of the bylaw. The proposed anti-noise bylaw was planned as a supplement to bylaw number 5 passed in 1873 which the deputy-reeve referred to as the “charivari bylaw", as it prohibits these wedding Serenades among oth- er noises. The new bylaw provided penalties up to $300 for shouting and unusual nois- es between 11 pm. and 7 am. It also prohibited the making of any noise which is a public nuisance at any time of the day or night. Councillor White opposed the 11 clock deadline, wishing to have it extended to mid- night. ‘ Councillor Campbell took ex- ception to the third provision claiming it gave dangerous latitude to members of the police force in interpreting the words “public nuisance." He claimed there would be great risk of having the rights of the individual impinged upOn by the police. He felt that some guidance should be included as to whatconstituted a “public nuisance." Mayor Neal said “The people have asked for an anti-noise bylaw and that's what we are here for.” He claimed the pro- posed new bylaw was very va- gue in some respects and should be clarified. Councillor Scudds point- It Was “Liberal Day" In Markham Township Budding young Liberals are the recipients here of the undivided attention of Donald Plax- ton, provincial Liberal candidate in York North, and his campaign manager, Rex Smith of Queens- ville. The scene is the Liberal Family Corn Roast held last Saturday evening at the Glenburn Farms home of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Deacon, Unionville. The event, sponsored by the Markham Township Liberal Association, was attended by over 300 supporters who, to the skirl of the bag- pipes in the background, enjoyed fresh corn, hot dogs, hot coffee and fresh cider served by the Markham Township Liberal ladies. They heard speeches from York North provincial candidate Donald Plaxton; Donald Deacon, who is the pro vincial candidate in Torontofs Beaches riding}, York North M.P.‘ John Addison, and Scarboro MR 1\ aurice Moreau. ‘ Hay rides, pony rides and beating entertained the children. With a large bonfire lighting the scene on the edge of the pond, Liberals sipped hot coffee, visited with their candidates, and enjoyed a sing song. A monster fireworks display and the spontaneous tribute, “For he’s a jolly good fellow” to host Donald Deacon, brought the memorable evening to a close.

The city’s bylaw, came into being as the result of a private bill in the Ontario Leg- ‘islative Assembly. ed out that powers of the municipality are very lim- ited as far as controlling noises are concerned. He reported the solicitor had said that barking and how- ling are natural sounds for a dog to make and cannot be controlled. The same thing applies to power mowers and other "usual" noises, he continued. Coun- cillor Campbell interject- ed, “But it isn’t natural for humans to howl all night!” House Turns Truck |.ot Neighbours Ask Charge- Vaughan Township Council said Monday it would prosecute any violation of its township‘s zoning bylaw. Council heard a delegation from the Elmwood Subdivision who complained of flagrant disregard for the residential zoning in its area. Spokesman John Pepper, Rockview Gardens said the pro- perty next door to his home over the past weekend had apâ€" parently been turned into a trucking firm. He said an el-shaped drive- way had been installed and on Saturday three heavy duty 20-25 ton diesel trucks were parked there and a diesel fuel tank was set up. “The present occupant shows every indication he isplanning to operate a trucking business," Mr. Pepper told council. “Beside causing me severe financial loss on my property, and loss of enjoyment this op- eration is a very bad fire haz- ard," Mr. Pepper said. He cited a case last spring where Vaughan had successful- ly prosecuted a similiar truck- ing operation in the area. Photographs Shown There were about 15-20 area homeowners at the meeting,. among them Toronto Township Building Inspector Alexander Franks who gave council doc- umented accounts of the act- ivities on the property backed up with photographs. He said it would be unfortunate if Vaughan allowed itself to “ac- cumulate this type of catch-all industry." Mr. Pepper asked council for a motion on the floor stating it would prosécute the alleged infraction. Councillor Ruth McConkey said that based on Vaughan Township’s previous prosâ€" “HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878” Architect's Sketch Of New Trust Building.

Much later, cars were still parked in the area around the church as interested area resi- dents visited to admire the new church. A clergy dinner was held later in the day. The church was officially established August 18, 1962, when Father Robinson was appointed parish priest; turning of the sod was held September 16, 1962, and on June 30, the date of Pope Paul VI’s election as supreme head of the church, the first mass was held in the new building. Reeve A. H. Rutherford told the group, "We won’t put up with this and will do everything within our power to clean it up.” Two weeks ago, a similar delegation protested a heavy equipment auction sale on property in Thornhill which appeared to be in violation of the zoning bylaw. Township Clerk Jim McDon- ald said Tuesday the matter is being considered by township solicitors but so far no action has been taken.

Yonge St. North. Coundl Capsules (Continued On Page a) PER COPY 10c A sweeping attack has been levelled at Richmond Hill’s overly-strict down- town parking regulations for commercial businesses. The attack came Tues- day night as the long- awaited parking report was officially unveiled to four members of Richmond Hill’s seven-man planning board. The bulky, 20-odd-page re- port, prepared by Planning Di- rector Harold Deeks and his staff. roused a minimum degree of discussion by planning board members. They decided to tackle it fully at another meet- ing when “everyone is in at- tendance." Main items were proposals to construct a simple system of service lanes behind downtown businesses for easier parking access and an ease in restric- tions of Zoning By-law 1000 In regards to parking. It was By-law 1000 till. came in for some slicing, with Mr. Decks emphasix- v in: “we are not suggesting merely to reduce parking regulations. We are saying slash them.” The controversial by-law re< quires any downtown business moving to another locale in thé area to provide space for so many cars according to the sizq of the building. . “By amending this regula: tion." Mr. Deeks stated, “we would be lifting a million and a half dollars off the bee people. Without that flna loss they would have no e not to thrive.” It was Mr. Deek’s feelin if this was not done there would be more future "- cant buildings on downtown Yonge Street as businesses moved to outer areas of the town where the by-law did not apply. Mr. Deeks agreed with other members of the board that Richd mond Hill does not have "1' parking problem. The problem is in the use of parking." The report indicates the pres; ent off-street parking areas are not being widely used by moi torists preferring to park alonfl Yonge Street.
