Vaughan and Markham Town- ships, as “autocratic”, Mayor Thomas Broadhurst took strong exception last week. The new legislation requires every municipality with a pop- ulation greater than 15.000 to have a board of police com- missioners. Formerly this re- quirement applied only to cit- ies. The nine municipalities in the province to be affected in- clude the three neighboring local municipalities along with Burlington. Toronto Township. Oakville, Gloucester Township, Nepean Township and Saltflcet "I have always believed that the province should assume re- sponsibility for all policing within its borders," the mayor stated. “but by this legislation they are only removing author- ity from the municipality and leaving it up to the latter to find the money." With the mandatory com- With the mandatory com- mission heing compOSed of a county judge, one other person (usually a magistrate! appointed by the provincial cabinet on recommendation of the At- torney-General. and the head of the municinal council. the Municipalities Becoming Province Whipping Boys "Autocratic" Says Mayo: majority of conh‘ol will lie While On Holiday Keep In “THE LIBERAL” 884-1105 -'â€" 889-3316 30 RM. in the hands of non-residents of the municipality. He also pointed out that the Police Act provides that if the municipal- ity does not agree with the recommendations of the local board of police commissioners in respect to the number of personnel. amount of equipment or quality of accommodation, its only recourse is to the pro- vincial police commissioners. Now the local elected repre- sentatives have lost control of the police budget and there will be nothing we can do about it.“ the mayor stated. “It seems to me that the provincial govern- ment have left us as ‘whipping boys'. Their appointees will call the tune and we must pay the piper. Mayor Broadhurst also noted that the automatic appointment of the head of municipal gov- adds to the burden of that crnment to the commission adds to the burden of that of- fice. “In Richmond Hill Coun- cillor Walter Scudds has been doing an excellent job as chair- man of the police committee." the mayor said. “He has been genuinely interested in provid- ing the best police force pos- sible without making it an un- due burden on the taxpayers. and has devoted much time and effort to the task." “I sincerely believe the mun- icipalities involved should have had advance warning of this legislation. either from their elected representatives or from the Attorney-General's Depart- ment." he continued. The mayor stated he would be bringing the matter up for discussion during a meeting held with Markham Township on Tuesday night of this week. The meeting has been arranged to discuss matters of mutual interest between the two mun- icipalities. Similar concern about legis- lation which hands more and more power to appointed or- ganizations was expressed last week by municipal representâ€" atives at the annual meeting of the Association of Ontario Mayors and Reeves in Kitch- ener. “We want to know what legislation is to be enacted while it is being prepared," the president said. “We want to co-operate with the Municipal Affairs Minister to get legisla- tion passed that would be good for the province and the mun- icipalities. But we want to ex- press objections to legislation that is not in our interest, be- fore it becomes effective." He said the association would try to get the province to ac- cept financial responsibility for several services, listing educa- tion, welfare and administra- tion of justice. The association approved a resolution from Toronto Town- ship which asked an amend»- ment to the Police Act to per- mit appointment of the third member of police commissions by municipal councils. Mayor John Ellis of Belle~ ville objected to recent state- ments by the Ontario Police Commission that if municipal- ities did not set up police com- missions an application could be made to the province to hold up their grants. Mr. Ellis termed this a step toward a police state. STOUFFVILLE: Ka-thryn Ham- bly and Peter Sanderson, who each averaged 87.8 percent on their year's work, were award- ed the Dr. Richardson academic award last week in a ceremony at Orchard Park Public School. >m :remembered Half a dozen former presiâ€" sdents of the Thornhill society were on hand to say goodbye. lOne of these. Tom Pherril not- ed that Ernie would always be for his direct forthright manner. On behalf of the society, he presented Ernie with a print of J. E. H. MacDonald's picture “Tangled Garden" which had been paintâ€" ed in Thox‘nhill. Clair Tennant of District 15 of the Ontario Horticultural Association presented Ernie with a copy of “Thornhill. an Ontario Village" by Doris Fitz- gerald. MC Allan Sumner later pointed out to Ernie where his name was mentioned in the book. “A good many village homes are more beautiful be- cause of his work," he said. "A night with Ernie“ was really a night to remember at the last meeting of the Thorn- hill Horticultural Society. when Ernie Kohler was honored for his 25-year contribution to the society and wished "hon voy- age" on his return to his native Switzerland. Douglas Boyd of the Rich- mond Hill Horticultural Society also presented a gift to Ernie. noting that the Richmond Hill society had enjoyed his largesse for many years. President Joseph Wain of the Thornhill society presented a framed life membership in the society, and also a roll of film so Ernie could take pictures of his new home and send them back to be shown at the society next winter. Ernie returned a mGdest thank you for the gifts and good wishes. “After 43 years in Canada and 25 years in the so- munlIuIlumlummuuuumumumumlmululmunummumu“ mun“mmmmuuuumumu\Imum“mu“mummuummmmu Vaughan Refuses Lot Fees To School Board A request from Vaughan Township School Area Board that lot fees from small subdivisions he turn- ed over to the school board to aid education costs was flatly turned down by Vaughan Council at Mon- day‘s meeting. The finance and general purpose committee report indicated that the commit- tee had studied a letter from the school board, prompted by a proposed two-lot subdivision of part of Lot 10, Concession 7. suggesting that in view of the incidence of such small two. three and four lot sub- divisions, capital lot fees levied against them should go to the school board. The finance committee’s report concluded, “The committee is not in agree- ment with the board’s pro- posal and 'recommends that the request not be approv- ed." The recommendation was accepted by council without comment. Ernest Kohler, who has been in charge of the grounds at Shouldice Surgery for the past 12 years, was honored on his retirement last week by the presentation of this gaily decorated cake. designed to represent the surgery and the beautiful gardens he has made there. The cake was made at Woolworths by Jim Henry of rl‘hornhill. Mr. Kohler was also honored at the June meeting of the Thornhill Horticultural Society.
