As an added touch, all the women present received attrac- tive carnation cox-sages. Mayor Broadhurst presented each with a token of the town's appreciation for their service. and remarked that dinner was "a sincere thank-you to those present for all the work done by unpaid groups.” They were Katherine Ball, who retired after 18 years on the town library board to be- come head of the University of Toronto library; William Hall and Dalton Hicks, both past presidents of the arena board and J. D. Lucas, former town solicitor. About 80 members of the lib- rary, arena. parks. recreation boards and swimming pool, town improvement and centennial committees were guests at a town-sponsored steak dinner at the Legion Court.

Price Property With buildings of not less than 6,000 square feet per acre. it is expected the development will add (without extensions of original buildings) $120,000 yearly in taxes. Mr. Haggart also noted the agreement clause which states that if the property Is not dev- eloped within three years the town has the right to purchase the remaining land at the devel- oper's cost plus taxes and in terest at 6%. “I think the pro- posed contract is designed to protect the people of Richmond Hill." he stated.

Making references to the plans which had been on display for several weeks, he reported that his firm had been commissioned in 1956 to prepare a report on storm drainage in the southwest area of Richmond Hill.

At that time Mr. Lucas noted it might well be that the board would not permit crossing unprotected by gates or signals to lose the pro- tection of whistles and bells and it might mean that if the whistle were discontinu- ed some other or greater type of protection would have to be given to crossings at the expense of the munici- pality.

Vote On Library Mayor Appoints Samuel D. Hall To Civic Improvement Committee Vaughan voters will decide in December whether or not they will support a public library system in the township. Council Monday night said it intended to put a proposed cen- tennial library on December election ballots. although the township will apply for $36,- 000 in federal-provincial centen- nial grants by a November 9 deadline. Council admitted this would cost a great deal more than what‘s available under the cen- tennial grant. According to Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson. a referendum on the library was the only way a system could legally be estab- lished under the Public Lib- raries Act. Just what In entailed in l public library system was not made clear at Monday’s meeting when about 20 Richvale ratepayers ques- tioned council on their move.

LAND LISTED AND SOLD He referred to revisions to the Highway Improvement Act in 1963 which permitted the department to give substantially increased subsidy for storm sewers where such drain- age improved the travelled road. He esti- mated the increase on this project at $92,000. Installation of storm Sewers will reduce the amount of ground water in this area which finds its way into sanitary sewers, and should reduce the load on the sanitary plant, he stated. Flooding and open ditches are a hazard to motorists, these ditches being a more costly system of drainage from the maintenance standpoint, he maintained, since private drive- ways and intersections require culverts.
