This was one of the reactions Monday night as councillors ac- cepted the commission's forma- tion in decidedly luke-warm fashion. “I’m sorry to see the town‘s authority taken away from local representatives and given over to magis- trate's justice." said Mr. Perkins. "I feel it‘s a case of moving further toward a police state.” Comprising the commission will be Judge Garth H. F. Moore. Judge of the County of York: Magistrate J. W. Butler. of Richmond Hill, and Mayor Thomas Broadhursl. The commission has replaced council‘s police committee of Councillors Walter Scudds. 8116 Yonge The Ontario Board appointed the same judge to the Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Markham Boards as it was felt that this would improve the possibility of co-operation between the lhree police departments. The same magistrate was appointed to the two township boards as it was felt they would have many similar problems, while it was felt that it would be preferable to have someone who lives in the community of Richmond Hill and is intimately acquaint- ed with its problems, appointed to that board. ‘ The three local boards were made necessary by legislation at the last session of the On- tario Legislature which requir- ed that such boards be set up in all municipalities with over 15.000 population. Previously. the Act had required that all cities (which must have a pop- ulation of at least 15,000) should have boards of police commis- sioners. However. such has been the growth in township populations recently that some have between 80 and 90 thousâ€" and people and many are in the 25 to 30 thousand popula- tion range. that much more tor the elected jrepresentatives to finance. “But I do think we are for- tunate in having two members :from Richmond Hill.“ ‘ Mr. Perkins noted the town was "fortunate in having Ma-gis- trate Butler represent it."v *** Markham Township Council expressed some concern toward the financial end of the new setup. Said Deputy-reeve Stewart Rumble: "1 think it's time the province started paying a little accepted right across the prov- ince and several municipalities not required to have such boards have passed by-laws reâ€" questing them. This is being encouraged and no such request has been turned down. The boards are forced to relieve police departments of any pos- sible political pressure and also provide more continuity than is the case when police depart: men‘ts are run by elected of- ficials.

The police commissioners are quite independent of municipal councils although they will sub- mit a budget to council each year but are not required to otherwise report to council. The Police Act requires that police commissioners meet at least four times per year and that they be paid a minimum of $100 yearly. Remuneration can go as high as the $5.000 per annum paid to commis- sioners of the Toronto board. although many small boards pay only the minimum. Remunera- tion of commissioners is set by local municipal councils. based on the frequency with which the boards are expected to meet, possibly six times a year loc- ally.

However. the board said it would request the department to install one near- by. “They are part of the law themselves." she said. “and I feel the Attorney General should look into this aspect of the situation. I think there should be an investigation." Mrs. Hancey felt also that it was not a satisfactory SYStem whereby magistrates and judges control the police actions.
