Deal Vaughan Township Coun- cil at Monday night’s meet- ing deferred its acceptance of an offer to purchase 3.3 acres in the township owned industrial park. Prospective purchaser is Artiss Industrial Develop- ments Limited, steel fab- ricators. The offer was for the township's price of $7,500 per acre but pro- mised a $4,500 down pay- ment and a one year mort- gage at 7% for the balance. Councillor Dalton Mc- Arthur was strongly op- posed to the township's ac- cepting a mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. "The township is being a money lender for private industry", he ob- jected. Depuer - reeve Garnet Williams feLt that the township was not actually loaning money but merely accepting deferred pay- ment. When Councillor Mc- Arthur insisted that this was still helping out pri- vate industry, Councillor S. D. Kaiser interjected. “We are helping ourselves. helpinE the township to gel industry." for conlin RICHMOND HILL, offimo, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1965 Of this amount $233,333 will be received under the Municipal Works Assistance Act, with a forgiveness of 25% if the work is completed by the date set. and the remainder to be sold on the open market.
