This recommen- dation of the transportation and parking committee was imple- mented by town council Mon- day night. The committee feels that this period will also provide a trial for consideration of the possible removal of meters and recommends the police committee con- cur in this. Councillor Robert Saunders noted that in the earlier recom- mendation to council that the meters be left on Yonge Street the committee had left the mat- ter open for representation from the merchants. "It was not our intent to saddle them with something the majority didn't want. We‘re willing to meet with them or their repre- sentatives at any time to dis- cuss the meters," he said. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll .

Monday evening Council- lor Walter Scudds. chair- man of the committee, re- ported that sidewalks on Lorne Avenue and Church Street are not wide enough to carry the heavy volume of foot traffic if all south- bound children were forced to use them. His committee also hesi- tated about creating a stop situation at the corner of Church Street and Mark- ham Road, only a short block from the stoplights at Yonge Street, he said. Also influencing their de- cision is the new parking lot for the Richmond Inn which has two openings on to Church Street. The im- pact of this lot on Church Street traffic is still un- known, he said. No parking signs will be erected on Laverock Road opposite the apartment building and on Yonge Supertest property, four rental trailers were struck. two of these were completely demolished, the other two being damaged. A portion of fence was also shattered and a metal light standard smashed. The driver however managed to avoid utility poles and entered the north traffic just west of Church Street. again avoided children and blasting, he bumped the truck tires against the north curb on Markham Road for almost four blocks, finally bringing the truck to a stop in the vicinity of Lawrence Avenue. Cause of the brake failure was a cracked brake drum, Richmond Hill Police report and somewhere on the wild ride the gas tank was punctured, department was called out and supervised the siphoning of gasoline from the tank.

Permits To Rezoning Objections 1881ch This Year Members of Richmond Hill Council agreed in principle tot a suggestion received from its planning board Monday even-i , . luniform to what IS there pre- mg. The planning board noted that, lfour objections have been re- ceived to the proposed rezon- ing in the south-east corner of iLOWI‘l -â€" two on one Cedar Ave- nue lot, and one each on anoth- er lot on the same street and tone on Essex Avenue. The ‘board recommended to council that the latter body admit these‘ objections are valid and have an amendment to the rezoning ‘ bylaw prepared exempting ‘these properties from its pro? ‘visions. Reeve James Haggart re- ported that in his experi- ence. when a property own- er makes the claim to the Ontario Municipal Board that he bought a property for a particular purpose and the municipality is now attempting rezoning which will not permit such use, three things could happen. The 0MB could rule against the entire bylaw, could rule that these properties be ex- empt, or could ask the mu- nicipality to reconsider the rezoning. “Personally I would prefer not to have any exception at all but I don’t think we have a leg 1 ,Wmmnnmmnnnnnn Remembrance Day‘ Film Shown Friday A film, “Fields of Sacri- fice”, has been secured by the poppy committee of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375 for showing in schools in this district.

The works committee noted that although the town‘s pres- ent water supply is adequate it would seem in view of future growth that a known reserve should be established. . Building permits issued in Richmond Hill for the nine months between Janu- ary and October 1. 1964, totalled 82,923,420, Build- int:r Inspector .lack Hollo- wcll reported this week. This amount is $1,118,850 in excess of the amount for the same period last year. The 1964 figure is com- poacd of: industrial S959,- . 000, commercial $576,500: residential $867,000; chur- ches, schools, garages, etc., 3520.920 for. a total of 32.- 923.420. Comparative figures for the same period in 1963 were: industrial $445,500. commercial $35,500, resi- dential 31,201,000, churches schools, garages, etc. $123.- 570. for a total of $1,804,- 570. Mr. IIollowcll noted the increase in industrial and commercial building is a very healthy sign. He also pointed out that the trend at the present time is to- ward larger buildings. Since the building inspector also acts as the construction safety inspector, Mr. Hol- lowell reports he is kept very busy. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Assessments Total increase in assessment up to September 20, 1964, in Richmond Hill is $685,085, ac- cording to a report received by, council at Monday night’s meet-1 ing. The report, filed by Assess- ment Commissioner H. B. Cable, notes that residential assess- ment increased by $352,125 from the 1963 figure to a to- tal of $25,821,036. Commercial and . industrial assessment inâ€" creaSed $295,910 to a total of $7,710,642. Total assessments in the town now is $33,531,677. Industrial and commercial as- sessment represents 23% of the total assessment and reSiden- tial 77%. ' ' 33,531,677 ’Industrial Ratio Is 23% August and September, 1964, was $176,205 for business, in- dustrial and commercial and $18.59;”) for residential. The discrepancy between the iabove figures and those con- tained in the building inspect- or’s report, elsewhere in this issue, is explained by the fact that buildings are not assess- ed until ready for occupancy. Therefore a large percentage of the industrial buildings for Ewhich permits‘havc been issued ldo not as yet appear on the town‘s assessment roll. These buildings will have a very fav- orable inpact on the ratio of assessment of the town when they are completed, it was not- ed by both the assessor and the Increase for the months of} building inspector.
