HOME PAPEWTITE One permit for a 67-suite apartment building valued at $500,000 was issued in 1964 (in 1963 three were issued creating 126 units with an estimated cost of $697,000). Thirty-three sin- gle family residences, with an‘ estimated cost of $431.00!) in 1964 compared with 56 in 1964 an estimated cost of $779,000. One new church was built at an estimated cost of $200,000 and a school addition at an es- timated cost of $170,000. Thirty- eight private garages accounted for $17,325 and the Centennlai Swimming Pool for $94,000. in 1964 (there were none in 1963), and seven permits for commercial alterations valued at $104,500 (in 1963 11 permits were issued in the amount of $33,800). others. Mayor Broadhurst com- mented that this last amount was a very healthy sign, indi- cating that stable companies which are increasing their space have been attracted to the mu- nicipality. He noted that this pointed up the necessity of having building restrictions re- alistic. (The 1963 figures were $412,000 for nine new indus- trial buildings and $56,000 for alterations on nine buildings.) ‘ Ten new commercial permits valued at $497,500 were issued Reeve Jean Moffat of Aurora presented the new warden’s wife with a sheaf of red roses. stating that each bloom carried with it the best wishes of the 1965 council. Mr. Rutherford intimated that he was not retiring from public life as he felt he still-had more to offer. Retiring Warden A. H.

"Wilf Scott is providing a service there but we don‘t subsidize it. He often doesn’t get paid for highway accidents." Deputy-reeve Garnet Wil- liams pointed out that Markham Township made no contribution to the am- bulance service and termed it “a very unfair arrange- ment”. insisting “Mark- ham is getting service and we're paying for it." Mr. Holt estimated the cost of such service. on a three year basis at $26,395. Income was estimated at $13,000 leav- ing a deficit of $13,395 to be made up by the municipalities in which the service is provid- ed. Mr. Holt proposed to serve an area extending from Steeles Avenue to the Aurora sideroad and from Highway 27 to High- way 48. DIANA EDE OF THORNHILL Dances At American Inaugural living in Tunbridge Well contacted the township. asking for a $200 monthly subsidy for his service.

Mr. Goodhead and Mr. Solo- mon advised the committee that they had had trouble acquir- ing the necessary machines to operate the dump in compliance with the by-laws but gave as‘ surance that they were making every endeavor to rectify the situation. They also promised that Sunday operation of the dump would cease. on Sundays Councillor Warren Bryce en- quired if it should not go out to tender. “We don’t know if he‘s actually spending this $200 per month," he stated. An observer at the meeting. Dr. N. B. G. Taylor of Concord suggested that ambulance ser- vice was a necessary public service similar to police and fire service and might well be provided by the municipality. This suggestion found gen- eral agreement among the coun- cil members. "It’s just as ne- cessary as any other service," stated Councillor Sam Kaiser. It, was reported that since 1963, Richmond Hill and Vau- ghan Township have been pay- ing a subsidy of $100 per month to the ambulance operator. From 1960 to 1964, the town- ship zave $100 per month to the York County Health Unit who paid this amount to the ambulance operators. At that time, municipal law did not permit the township to pay the subsidy direct. This has since been amended. NORTH YONGE OFFICE 8242 YONGE ST.
