There are three railway crossings in Richmond Hill at Markham Road. Crosby Avenue, and Cen- tre Street. Mrs. Hancey said the liability would not be any greater be- cause the Department of Trans- port was okayinz the changes itself. Deputy-reeve Floyd Perkins wondered if the liability of the town would be affected in any way if someone was struck. Mayor Thomas Broadhurst noted there might be still some whistle-tooting problems from Markham Township. Mrs. Hancey said Markham was passing bylaws to eliminate whistle blowing in a number of areas. The exception was the Hills- view Drive and Elgin Mlils Sideroad on Richmond Hill‘s border "‘and if these whistles cause any great deal of trouble in the future we can request Markham to pass a bylaw e11- minating them." Councillor William Lazenby congratulated Councillor Hancey on her efforts noting she‘d been trying "to cut the red tape of ‘government for the past two or‘ three years and has finally‘ broken through." “It’s the first step. anyway." said Mrs. Hancey pointing out the bylaw would still have to be sent to the Board of Transport Commissioner for final ap- preval.

While your reporter has no operator possessing such heav- enly characteristics. it seems that he does have an opinion- ated spy who, by virtue of a plain name, is rapidly becoming a candidate for orbit.
