Ltd. for rezoning of residential land in the Benson-Hunt-Yonge Street area to commercial be approved following a public hearing on the applications on August 24. The Ontario Water Re- sources Commission has recommended that a com- mon sewage treatment plant be constructed to serve the Police Village of Maple. Kleinburg and Pine Grove, York County Boari of Health was advised at its August 25 meeting. ' MOI-l Dr. R. B. Murray read a section of a recent re- port of the OWRC which in- cluded a paragraph on the sewage problem in the Klein- burg area. The OWRC made the recommendation because it fears that present sewage treatment facilities could re- sult in a deterioration of the water resources in the area Designed by Irving D. Boigan Associates, the 10,000 square foot building will house the expanding staff of the health unit which now numbers 64, (including staff in its five branch offices) and will make room available for the county staff in the York County building where the health unit is presently accommodated. Shown above is the architect’s drawing of the new York County Health Unit building, the excavation for which is now underway on Prospect Street, immediately west of York County Hospital in Newmarket. A total expenditure of $272,000 has been authorized for the building with $140,000 of this amount to be paid by the County of York, and approximately $80,000 by the provincial and $50,000 by the federal governments.

It was noted that the condi- tion of the dump had been im- proved. Fences had been erect- ed around the property and 90% of the garbage had been covered with earth fill. Dump- ing is now being confined to the rear of the property. It was reported that Mr. Goodhead. questioned by Safer Intersection dump operation and truck traf- fic through Maple. \llll‘lll‘ll‘l“\ll“Ill\lllll\llll‘llllllmlllllllll“lllulllllllll\llllllllumm (Contmued on Page 17) further complaints from Kleinburg. He felt that the dry weather was helping the situation there but that when the rains began in November they could expect more com- plaints. “Complaints will come in November and then again in the spring,” he said. Dr. Murray confirmed that he had heard nothing further from the ratepayers and hadn't heard anything from Vaughan Township since his submission to them of Mr. Burns‘ report and his own recommendation on the prob- lem. Both west side applica- tions involve rezoning from residential to commercial while the easterly extension of Little’s used car lot on the east side of Yonge meant rezoning from indus- trial to commercial. The York County Hearth Unit two years ago refused 0f the 50 property own- ers who were considered to be adjacent to the rezoning only two objections were filed with the planning board. In the case of Littles council will seek a guarantee that the Hunt Avenue extension will only be used for storage and not for retail car sales. The members also expressed concern that Littles will have an entrance to their H unt Avenue extension from that street rather than Yonge. Deputy-reeve .Perkins suggested the police begin enforcing parking regula- tions around Littles in or- der to make their em- ployees keep their cars of! the streeis. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, ratepayers, stated he had been in charge of the dump operation only since last January and is steadily im- proving conditions. He as- sured the ratepayers that no more garbage would be piled in the front of the property where it has now reached a height of approx- imately six to eight feet above road level. He stated he had also issued a warn- ing to all truckers deliver- ing garbage to the dump that unless the trucks. are, covered to prevent spilage they will be refused admis- sion at the dump. Mr. Goodhead, it was report- Aed, asked for time and patience from the ratepayers in disciplin- ing these truck drivers. He em- phasized his willingness to co- loperate with the ratepayers and the township and will try to resolve any complaints regard- ing the dump he services. He also invited ratepayers and township officials to visit the dump at any time to check on conditions. The committee reported it was of the opinion that the improvements noticed at the dump are the result of combin- ed action of ratepayers and the township. They stated it should now be clearly understood by the principals of Disposal Ser- vices Ltd. that the improve- ments made so far can and will be considered only a step to- ‘wards peaceful co-existence. It should be noted, the committee pointed out, that there is still a lot to be desired and constant vigilance will be required to ensure continuation of initial improvements. It was stated in the report that the building department will, from time to time, report to council on conditions at this dump. Meeting with Mr. Goodhead at the dump were: Reeve A. H. Rutherford, Deputy-reeve Gar- net Williams and Councillors Sam Kaiser, D. McArthur; An- drew Snider, W. Field, J. Hodg- son, Miss M. Cruicksharnk, and towns‘fiip staff members, Build- ing and Zoning Administrator G. Vanderfleet, and By-law En- forcement Ofl‘icer J. Derry. Councillor McArthur, noting that Mr. Goodhead had written council to the effect that after August 17 all trucks admitted to his dump would be required to be covered to control spil- lage, stated, “We didn't de- mand this.

The line showed a pro- fit for the first three quarters of 1964. It is hoped that with the cancellation of the service to Elgin Mills at the end of June which was losing heavily, the line will show an improved financial position in the next quarter. Details of the loss were con- tained in a six month financial statement tabled with council at Monday night’s meeting. It showed revenues for the first six months of the year at $53,- 928.52 while operating expenses were $58,018.88, leaving a six month loss of $4,090.36. The second quarter loss on opera- tions was $1,112.33. Any profits from the opera- tion are shared by the munici- palities who are also responsible for subsidizing any losses. The municipalities also have yet to receive the usual provin- cial exemption from the 1965 seat tax. If the province refuses to exempt the line. an addition- al charge of $1,000 will be in- curred up until June 30.

While some inconven- ience is bound to occur with the work being done while school is in session, everything possible will be done to keep this to a minimum. It is ex- pected that the library facil- 'ities will be ready for use by‘- late next spring. The team teaching area to be createdâ€" at Bayview will be the first where this new teaching concept is to he tried in York Central. It will include a large lec- ture room. slightly larger than two classrooms where approximately 120 students can be accommodated at one time and containing facilities for audio-visual equipment. Associated with it will be two workrooms where teachers can meet and prepare the team ses- sions. Team teaching has three com- ponents; the large group in- struction; discussion in small groups or seminars; and indi- vidual research and study on a particular topic by students. A group of teachers will be responsible for the large group of students on a shared basis. Teacher A, for instance, may prepare and give an hour-long lecture or series of lectures, while teachers B. C and D may conduct small seminars. The {librarian will be drawn into the team providing reading ma- terial for students to use in their individual study and re- search. Thus the team teaching method will be similar in many ways to the system with which students will be faced when they enter university and will :help prepare them for this. Such a system is difficult ito work into the typically rigid high school time table but these difficulties are being worked out.

A (Continued on Page 3) Team Teaching Bayview Secondaryi 16 New Teachers “A first glance at the re- sults seems to indicate that they are quite erratic," said Mr. Chapman. “There is considerable variance from the teachers' marks." the variance was greater than normal. Although some of the marks were higher, most of them were down from the grading given by the teachers on the basis of the students' term work. A close study of the marks and their variance from what was expected is now being made at the high school board office. The results will be report- ed to the management committee and at the board’s general meeting on September 27. At the same meeting. sta- tistics as to the percentage of passes at individual high schools and in the system as a whole will be discus- sed by the board. An additional 300 students are expected in the five York Central District High Schools September 7, bringing total enrolment to the 3,850 mark.

The next stage of the draft of Richmond Hill's official plan will be ready for consideration at its September 7 meeting, Planning Consultant Max Bacon, informed planning board Tues- day of last week. This will cover all phases of the plan except for that section dealing with the financial impli- cations, he reported. The final section will have to wait for a meeting to be held with officials of the Department of Municipal Affairs which has promised the town assistance in preparing this part of the plan.
