20 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Thursday Markham Planning Bd. And High Rise Apartments The residents of the Thornhill District were treated to a prize display of “how democracy should not work” when they attended a meeting in the Thornhill Secondary School on June 1 at which the genial but very evasive Markham Township Plan- ning Board unfolded an amended zoning by-law for the area. uran a- v" The big‘ surprise to everyone at this overflow meeting was that the amended plan presented by the planning board still included provision for high rise apartments after such overwhelming proof, even by a. vote in the presence of the board, at a. previous overflow meeting held in the same place only last December (the day following the election â€"â€" ahem) that more than 95% of the residents were adamant- ly opposed to apartments of any kind, let alone high rise monstrosities such as have been inflicted on the hapless homeowners of North York in the Yonge- Bummer area. yuuu..v- .. -r. It is quite incomprehensible how a planning board, supposedly representing the interests of the taxpayers would have the effrontery to show such complete and callous disregard of the wishes of the Community,' so emphatically expressed onl_\r a few short months before, particularly when the only feeble excuse they could offer for such folly was that "if high rise apartments are going to be built any- where, Yonge Street in the Thornhill area is as good a, place as any”. Long live the bureaucrats! 11,1,A n: yluvv “U U..- -._D __r - , What the planning board, in their great lack of wisdom, seems to overlook completely is (a) that Markham Township desperately needs more com- mercial and industrial assessment to counter-balance the top-heavy residential and farm assessment, now out of all proportion, and the resultant burden presentlybeing borne by the homeowners for edu- cational costsâ€"as has been stated‘so many times by past and present councils; (b) that the same property zoned community commercial would produce very valuable assessments without having to provide for additional schools, roads, police, fire and other serv- icesâ€"which would be of direct benefit to the area and the township as a whole; (0) that the land is suitable only for high rise apartments sounds like an argument which might be presented by the three or four land owners involved to enable them to make a “killing” instead of just a nice profit: (d) that more than twenty different types of business establish- ments and schools are allowed under land zoned as community commercial any or all of which, would be suitable for the area at present or in the foreseeable future; (e) that the erection of apartments on Yonge Street, with their dense population per acre, would only aggravate further an already serious traffic problem. particularly during: t'ush hours: (f) that the local residents are noted for their pride in the area and naturally do not want to see it become a jungle of apartments: (3;) that the erection of apartments would only depreciate the homes of people who have been taxpayers in the area for many yearsâ€"at a time when the speculators had no interest whatever; (b) that the erection of high rise apartments would benefit only three or four land owners and the subsequent landlords (none of whom would likely be residents of the area). It will be interesting to see how democratic Markham Council is when the planning board pres- ents the amended plan for ratification and, whether or not, they really represent the taxpayers, as they so emphatically proclaim at election time.

Canada has a right to be proud of it. It sets higher standards than have been set for any other colmtry I know. Other countries are taking note of the way Canadian Parliament is ensuring that more workers share in this country’s growth.” “It applies to industries which fall under Federal jurisdictionâ€" and may well prove to be a guide for other industries. The Government itself, which is a large employer in its own right, will take the lead by applying the Code’s standards to its own federal employees.” “As we said, it sets minimum standardsâ€"and I stress that these are minimum. because, of course, a lot of workers already enjoy higher standards than the Code sets. First, it sets a standard 8 hour day and a 40 hour week, with overtime limited to 8 hours a week, and paid for at time-and-a-halt'. Second, it sets the minimum wage rate for all men and women over 17 years of age at $1.25 an hour. Next, it provides for two weeks annual vacation with pay, after one year’s service; or 4% of wages as vacation pay for those with from 30 days to a year’s service. Finally, it stipulates that each employee shall get eight statutory holidays with pay a yearâ€" or get a full day 011 in lieu of the holiday.” “The Code covers interprovincial or international rail and highway transport, primary fishing where the fishermen work for wages, air transport, radio and TV, shipping, banks, uranium mining, grain elevators. flour and feed mills and Warehousing, seed cleaning mills, interprovincial or international pipelines and ferries, interprovineial or international telegraphs and telephones, most Crmm corporations and one or two other smaller industries.” need money for any worthwhile purpose?
