In a brief presented last Thursday to county council, York County Fed- eration of Agriculture said the out- dated taxation system is _th1:eateping “It is rather ironic that much ef- fort is put into acquiring industry for the county’s numerous towns and town- ships while the already established agricultural industry is neither assist- ed or protected,” said Federation President Oliver Bales. chase of capital and ex- pendable equipment. Consideration will be given to the implementation of these recommendations when the budget is being prepared, it was stated. Trustee Ross Jolliffe stated that the Department of Educa- tion inspector "has pointed a finger at this area and we are going to have to do something about it.” He explained that most of the older schools have no facilities for indoor sports, noting that recommended equip- ment includes tumbling mats, vaulting horses. benches etc. The trustee pointed out that home and school associations have provided some of this re- quired equipment in Schools which had auditoriums. . A parent in the audience not- ed that parents are prone to say “the kids haven‘t anything to play with and believe it hasn't -been provided." The board isn't always to blame, she reported, saying that $40 in new equipment had been pro- vided for the school in her SWIFT'S DETERGENT SURF PREM some other employment or move fur- ther away from Metro. He said the theory the farmer’s land had increased in value no longer held true since he had only its pro- ductive value to meet his increasing tax burden. “We realize due to increased ser- vices demanded, education, higher wage rates and the general effect of in- flation, we must be prepared for high- er taxes. “But we are disturbed these taxes fall so much more on the farmers than on their urban or suburban neighbours," he told council. He cited the changed nature of Richmond Hill (although not specific- ally named in the brief) which 10 years ago was a village of 3,000 and 'now a. town of 20,000. area in May last year. In Sept- ember the new teacher could find very little of this equip- ment. One piece of missing equipment had cost $16, she claimed. Superintendent Gibson comâ€" mented that he did not think Vaughan School Area could be any worse off than many other districts, since the physical edu- cation inspector had asked to return to Roselawn School and a nearby rural school to test a series of weekly radio broad- casts which began on February 13. ' Patterson School was chosen‘ as the rural school and the tests were carried out on Feb- ruary 6 with the physical edu- cation inspector, two represent- atives of the CBC. Trustee War- ren Ballie and the superintend- ent in attendance. The finance committee re-1 ported that correspondence had been presented from the teach: ing staff athletic association re- questing financial support for a skating and hockey program- me. The committee had felt that the suggested programme was too extensive and expensive Trustee Lorne Wells said he had been appalled by the inadequacy of equip- ment in some schools but recalled that at one school, when the long grass was out prior to September school opening, {our bats. two balls and three gloves were found lying on the playing field. It was reported that the response of the pupils was excellent in both schools and the officials expressed themselves well satisfied. The superintendent also re- ported that the test showed that some instructions were not quite clear enough and the broadcast was retaped to correct this fault. and asked the association to present a revised programme for hockey play-offs only. The revised programme re- commended an expenditure of $175 as the board’s share of the cost of ice time for a hoe- key playoff schedule in which 12 area schools and Woodbridge will compete. The play-offs will be held at Richmond Hill and Woodbridge arenas at no loss of regular school time. Security Police Budget Is Down The four-man York County security police force was one of the few whose operation this year will cost less than in 1963. Reporting to the county coun- cil last Thursday, the police committee, headed by King De- puty-reeve Gordon Cook, _is ask- ing for a budget of $24,400 as compared to $26,773 last year. -_.,_r __ _ V The force logged 12,748 miles in its van purchased last year to and from Richmond Hill and Newmarket courts and the Don Jail. There were 1,038 prisoners transported to and from the Don Jail and 1,208 prisoners passed through county facilities in the two towns. By agreement, Newmarket provides the county with office space for the security police at a cost of $1,500 and Richmond Hill supplies cells for prisoners at a cost of $759. The committee said other facilities here are lacking and it is through the co-operation of Chief R. P. Robbins space has been found in the station for the security police. Members of the force are William McMullen. Richmond Hill; Joseph Madden. Oak Ridg- es; Chris Cailes, Newmarket and Mrs. Gail Palmer also of Newmarket. has been unable to attract sufficient industry. It has had to build a comp- lete sewer system and two additions to the new plant. It has had to enlarge its water system, drill wells, build schools and a new municipal office. The police force has increased in these 10 years from one full time officer to a]- most 20. “On a typical house in 1952, taxes were $222.95 and rose to $348.38 in 1963, an increase of 56%. “In a neighbouring township, tax- es in 1952 on a typical 100 acre farm with fair buildings were $241.45 or about 9% more than the town house but by 1963, taxes on the same farm with no improvements had increased to $762.40 or about 119% more than the house in town.” Caroline Copp had a mh‘ai culous escape last week when her car was rammed as she crossed the Woodbine-Sheppard intersection on her way home from work. Caroline was proceeding with the light when the second car made a left hand turn. She was badly shaken and taken to hos- pital but later released. Her car was damaged extensively.
