Board members noted the industry had replaced a differ- ent one at the same locale and a site plan approval would be required as well as approval from the Committee of Adjust- ment before a building permit should be granted. Reeve Floyd Perkins felt it wouldn’t be good for the town to be “too antagon- istic toward industries.” Two Richmond Hill industries have been temporarily tripped up by failing to comply with site plan approvals and build- ing by-law 1000. Planning board members last week granted conditional ap- provals for building additions to Seneca Wire of Canada and Frank the Mover, providing they correct present deficien- cIes.

Township of Markham Committee of Adjustment NOTICE OF HEARING CA/63/23 Notice is hereby given of a hearing to be held by the Town- ship of Markham Committee of Adjustment at the Municipal Offices, Buttonville, R.R. No. 2, Gormley, Ontario. on Tuesday, October 22nd, 1963, at 7.30 pm. Nature of Application in the nature of interested co- operation with the town. Our only purpose again is to take an interest in the town ourself‘ and encourage others to do the‘ same." Reliable Mower 8.

Mansbridge was the recent street-dance held on Allgood Street combined with a children’s party for youngsters in the area. “This will require a lot of work from our members,” he stated, “but we want to have some fun while we’re doing it." This will help to balance out the whole program.“ All work and no play may have made Jack something of a dull [ad but this isn’t going to happen to Richmond Hill‘s newest and only ratepayers‘ as- sociation. Mr. Mansbridge's first line of attack against the decay of apathy will revolve around the “work and play" theme. “It's our purpose," he said, "to spark a more active inter- est in just what is going on in Richmond Hill. After all, we live here, raise our children, and pay our taxes here. We've got to be interested." That’s the word from Ivan Mansbridge. of 390 Allgood Street, president of the 100- strong two month old Elgin Park Ratepayer‘s Association. He was referring to what he termed his surprise at learning I: h e r e were no other rate p a y e r associ- ations alive in Richmond Hill. “There have been associ- ations in the past," he said. “but they seemed to have died out from lack of continuing interest. We don't want this to happen to us." “I work in Toronto but I don‘t want to just crawl into a corner and use this town for sleeping when I come home. I want to see it progress. This. I feel, along with all the other members of our associ- ation. is the way to do it.” Executive officers of the as‘ sociation are: Mr. Mansbridze “And why is all the industry put on the east side of Rich- mond Hill? These are just some of the questions and problems we’re interested in." Getting back to the en- tertainment portion of the program, Mr. Mansbridge said there would be guest speakers from the sporting world invited to speak to the younger people in the area plus programs where bands would headline the evenings. “In essence,“ he said, “it is an all-out effort to convince citizens that Richmond Hill is their town even though a num- ber of them are commuters to Toronto. town council and other meet- ings to learn more about various topics. “We will have guest speak- ers appear at our meetings," he stated. “concerned with the municipal end of Richmond Hill to explain to us reasons for this and that." "We want to become better informed on such things as why there is such a variance in taxes among homes in our area which are similar in type. Why is one assessment higher than the next one when we feel it shouldn't be. “We are also quite concerned about having a recreation area for our small children." he pointed out. “Neal Park, for ex- ample, is boxed in during the winter and a rink is laid but mainly bigger children use it for hockey games. “There is no arrangement for the five to 10 year olds who have no place to skate. We would like to see some arrange- ment made by the municipality. Councillor Scudds stated that the contractor had had to prepare the seed bed more than once because of children playing on the property. An appeal was issued by Councillor Walter Scudds at Monday night’s town council meeting. He asked that parents in the vicin- ity of the newly seeded Crusby Park and green belt area try to keep children from playing there until the grass has time to become establish- ed. ‘One of the first such guest speakers will be Mayor William Neal. who is slated to address the as- sociation members Octob- er 30 at Crosby Heights School at 8 pm.
