Council Opposes Annexation It is also against abolish- ment of local planning boards to be replaced by a planning committee of council. Both possibilities were broached in the controvers- ial Goldenberg Report map- ping out the possible future of Metro and outlying areas. The town‘s objections were prepared by Mayor Thomas Broadhurst, approved by council in a committee of the whole meeting. and sent to Minister of Municipal Affairs J. W. Spooner. Mayor Broadhurst‘s report noted the Goldenberg Reâ€" port would have little direct or immediate impact on Richmond Hill but definitely posed an economic threat on a long term basis. The Goldenburg Report recommended the annexation on condition that Vaughan and Markham were unable to come to suitable agreements with Metro on the future servicing of those areas “It is questionable whether a municipality such as North York with problems enough to solve within its own con- fines would be any better equipped to solve any prob- lems in the abutting north- erly fringe than the existing municipalities", the report (Continued from Page 1‘ Council should advise the board “that it is not in the position to make any service extensions outside the present limits. And un- til services for water and sewer are planned on an area basis that their re- quest would appear to be premature". said Reeve Plaxton said ro- spnnsibility for area serv- icing should be. shouldered by the OWRC and provinci- al government and not left, to he settled on a piecemeal basis by hard-pressed muni- cipalities. “Maybe this is a good way of putting some pressure on them". he said. Councillor Scudds disagreed saying it was the responsibility of the town to provide for the needs of school children. "I can‘t go for this“, he said. “We're here to look after the people and its our duty to pro- fl..- I'll... DiJ ‘vide schools". Councillor Leis Hancey sug- gested it might be a good idea if the board applied to Vaughan Township for the services. j 3 Mayor Thomas Broadhurst said earlier it was his own feel- ing that we “would not want to see town service extended for this sort of purpose“ referring specifically to office buildings. 7 “We’re in trouble already". he said. “We’ve contracted and are supplying the hospital with \sewage disposal services and we have a limited use of existing facilities in our own town". been the township‘s star witness in its opposition to the incorpor- ation. Quoting almost Mr. Hardy’s that council invite any can actual words, the report stated proposals on the schools â€" “It would be unrealistic for this office buildings â€" from board to assume on the basis of board.

LL- _ . n A _ A nnlu “If any annexation takes place it destroys the existing economics of the County of York. The report recom- mends compensation be paid to the county for such separ- ation . . . but obviously it would be more palatable with some form of compensation than without it.‘ However. past experience has indicated that such compensations are rarely realistic and often long delayed”. Mayor Broadhurst said the government should recognize an incipient movement among the southern six muâ€" nicipalities of the county to “search for some means of nicipalities of the county to “search for some means of recognizing their common problems and co-operating in finding a solution to them". The southern six comprises Richmond Hill. Markham and Vaughan Townships, and the Villages of Woodbridge. Stouffville and Markham. This co-operation between the southern six obviously holds the promise of an eventual form of regional government. For this hope to have any chance of becoming a reality the area should be stable in size and form an economic unit. "The better and more lu- crative ‘assessment“. the re- port continued. "in fringe areas will tend to be found adjacent to its borders with Metro. \\§‘ \town cou A ' ‘ing held ' (Photo by Stuart's Studio) last week If these areas are an 'Town Council Seeks More Answers PDANCE Booming construction costs have been blamed for the dras- tic $120,000 increase in building costs at Crosby Heights Public School and elsewhere. (Continued from Page 1; the “estimate of the school board be investigated by the finance committee in conjunction with the school board. Its architect. and Markham and Vaughan Townships." The alterations in Richmond Hill High School actually total. led $135,000 but the $54,000 increase will be absorbed out of current school board funds. Work on the school will com. prise the addition of a library. one administration office and guidance room. The present lib- rary will be converted to a classroom and the administra- tion offices to staff rooms. Placing the blame were offi- cials of the Richmond Hill Pub- lic School Bbard at a special town council committee meet- ing held Thursday afternoon of “The reason for the 5120.000 jump on the Crosby building.“ said Board Chairman Walter Hutchinson. "is the increase in the cost of contract. “There’s a general boom going on." he said. “and the contractors are not hun- gry at all. We only got bid- ders by phoning around. We finally got four bids. when we opened them up we Councillor Scudds requested two recorded votes during the discussions but was ruled out of order on one of them. The first was his own motion that council invite any concrete proposals on the schools â€"â€" not office buildings â€" from the board. A short-lived controversy fol- lowed as Mayor Broadhurst dis- allowed the recorded vote be- cause Councillor Scudds hadn't made the request until the reg- Councillor Scudds made no mistake on the second vote and it was recorded.

The report recommends that any moves to annex any part of York County be “de- layed until the type of reg- ional organization which the southern six municipalities are striving for has had a chance to manifest itself and demonstrate its capability of otherwise dealing with the area on a regional basis”. a It also feels that planning boards are necessary because “local councils have enough to occupy their attention al- ready and can act as the policy makers they should be if the leg work is done by an external board on which they are represented". "Under the present system planning boards research and come up with recommenda- tions but first publicize and discuss pubicly many of these recommendations edu- cating the public in the process. The planning board has the time and by public hearings actually does succeed in putting over plan- ning ideas far better than would be done by a commit- tee of council whose mem- bers would have numerous other responsibilities". Favorlng the second mo- tion were: Mayor Broad» hurst, Councillors Hancey. Eric Handbury and Mr. Plaxton. Opposed, Council- lors Scudds, Lazenby, and Deputy-reeve Floyd Per- kins. found the costs were 50 per- cent higher than estimated." The board then asked for re: estimates from the companies to boil the costs down further. One contractor didn‘t even bother to offer a second tender. he said. Mr. Hutchinson also blamed the strikes that hit the con- struction industry for rises in cost. "The contractors were put be- hind in their jobs and when the strikes were settled they were committed to higher labor costs." he said. Mr. Hutchinson also present- ed a list of projects at three hind in their jobs and when the “I would have been happier.". strikes were settled they were he said. “if the bids had come committed to higher laborlin the normal course and not costs." he said. under duress."

The original estimates were supplied on May 28. Business Manager Kenneth Turton pointed out that the last edition on Crosby was a nine- room one in 1962 and “cost $10.- 98 a square foot. This year the price is around $19 a square foot." Mr. Hutchinson said the planned completion date for Crosby was April 30. "We need the accommo- dations for next September so I don’t think referring it two or three months is going to get you that much. I agree that its a big hike at Crosby. They don’t norm- ally go up 25 percent." The board. he said. had also hurried the project to enable it to qualify for the Municipal Assistance Act which lighten the cost load. “We would get around $58- 000 if the building is substan- tially completed by the end of March. But we can‘t sign the contract until we get approval from council and the Ontario Municipal Board.“ he said.
