His remarks came after a spokesman for the club stated that a poll had been taken of the immediate area with no ob- jections resulting. Councillors voted against the range. Councillor Charles Hoover commented at a previous meet- ing that he was “very dubious about polling aheas unless its done by neutral persons." Deputy-reeve Stewart Rumble said he had thought the shoot- ing range would be located in a gravel pit but said he had found It would be located back of the pit on low land. An application by Cedardale Rod and Gun Club to establish a shooting range in Markham Township wa s rejected by council Monday after a petition of the area revealed eight per- sons for it and eight against it.

Councillor Palmer also noted the drop in total value of building in the township during 1963 compareed to 1961. Figures showed $3,448,925 in 1963 and 56.083.135 in 1961. i Reeve Charles Hooper noted this was in the neighbourhood of the 30 percent desired ratio for industrial and residential dwellings which was the ac- cepted difference. New councillor Cleary Palmer wondered If a 30/70 ratio was good en- ough. He didn’t think so. The ratio imbalance between residential building and com- mercial-industrial in the town- ship continued heavily in favour of residential. Figures showed residential building at $2,714,825 and industrial-commercial $539.: 500. Total value of building in Markham Township during 1963 dropped more than two million dollars from the previous year. Final figures set 1963's total value of buildings at $3,448,925 compared to 1962’s $5,636,663 and 1961’s $6,083,135.

Council agreed with Reeve Jame Haggart’s suggestion that the applicant be advised by letter that council will take this matter into con- sideration when planning board comes up with a plan for the town’s future de- velopment. “We are certain- ly in no position to annex one small parcel of land." he stated. that if revenues continue to increase. the maximum will not be reached in 1964.

In 1962 $1,500 was budgeted for this work, and a similar amount in 1963, Clerk Rus- sell Lynett reported. The Work has been completed from Markham Road to Centre Street and now all properties in this area, are numbered which lightens the work load of the town staff. It is proposed that the work be continued to Crosby Avenue which would then place all of Yonge Street on registered plans. In referring this matter to the finance committee, Mayor Tom Broadhurst said he would like to she either direct action or refusal on such referrals within two weeks, unless the referral motion contained a time limit.
