This re- sulted in a surplus of $100 in August and $700 in Sep- tember despite decreases in the number of fares col- lected.

In answer to questions it was established that the bylaw will not be retroactive, and that where any contravening parking has already been es- tablished, it will constitute an established non-conforming use.

Mr. Campbell re- cently moved from Ward 2 to Ward 4 and stated. “I am proud to be a citizen of Richmond Hill but due to pressure of business I will not be standing for rc-cl- action." He said he felt he could now make some comments without being accused of electioneering, and report- ed that during the year he had changed his attitude on industrial development. “I have had doubts as to the effects of further ex- pansion of industrial areas. Industrial development is not the whole answer to our problems," he contin- ued. “It’s no gift from heaven. but it does help. However-there is a possibâ€" ility that some agreement may he reached whereby Richmond Hill would re- ceive financial assistance to enable it to remain a residential and commercial area rather than having to which ward I'll be trying for but I will definitely be try- ing." he says.

During that term of office he served as warden of the then much larger County of York. He was a candidate for the reeveship again in 1953 but was defeated. He returned 1960 and 1961 as councillor to the township council for Ward 2 and became de- puty-reeve in 1962 by the slight margin of 23 votes over Forest Dullege. Mr. Hooper advanced to the position of team; follow- ing the death of Wilfred DOUGLAS F. LYNN Mrs. Lloyd Hawkes spoke in opposition to the suggested move. She asked if the town water had been tested for nat- ural calcium chloride, and ask- ed whether it was not true that household w a t e r softeners would remove calcium fluoride from the water supply. She claimed there was not sufficient time for those opposed to adding fluoride to local water to present their side of the story to the public. She said the public is not sufiiciently informed at present to decide a matter of such far-reaching importance. In as much as there is a difference of opinion as to the beneficial effect of fluoride even among medical authorities, such an important decision should not be used as election propaganda or platform. Mrs. Hawkes maintained. “Two things I hate to see wasted are time and money", said Mrs. Hawkes, referring to the estimated $7,390 addition‘ of fluoride to the water supply would cost the town in its first year. She concluded by stating that we did not need to follow ilike sheep our neighbours to 1the south. Champions And Boards [To Receive Reeegljitien Dr. J. P. Wilson took excep- tion to Mrs. Hawkes’ stand, saying fluoridation is recom- mended by the medical profession as a whole and particularly by the dental profession. Councillor Al White quipped, “Gordon Sinclair isn’t." And Dr. Wilson replied, “All the more reason I am."’ , ‘ ‘ .Mrs. Hawkes said. she was not taking issue with 1 whether or not fluoride is ‘ added to the water in Richmond Hill, but rather with the introduction of the question into the elec- tion campaign at such a late date. “The people of Richmond Hill could vote for something they really do not want.” Councillor A1 White reported that Whitby had voted on the question last year without adequate education .of the public. The question had carried, but is back on the list of plebiscites this year, and there are indications that it will not carry this time. Mayor William Neal felt that the people should have more time to study the matter before the plebiscite was placed before them. ‘ Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night voted 5-2 against hold- ing a plebiscite on fluoridation at this year’s annual elections. This was a reversal of a decision reached at the previous week’s meeting. MORE HOMES & LAN LISTED AND SOLD It will be another run at the job of deputy-reeve for Mn Dullege.
