In a recorded vote only Ward 3 Councillor Charles Hoover voted against a motion calling for the reeve and clerk to prepare an amendment to Bylaw 2237, which controls the area.

TO 9.30 P.M. FRIDAY, DEC. 1 The site plans approved last week are for three of 15 pos- sible apartment sites designated for the South Thornhill area. 0 One is at Yonge and Elgin Streets, including the property which was the site of Holy Ann's Well. The plans for this will include 262 suites in two buildings. both seven storeys high and were submitted by Bayview Summit Development Ltd. 0 Another, at Steeles Avenue and Dudley Street (on the north side of Steeles) across from the bus loop, will contain only 68 suites in a seven storey build- ing. These plans came from the Valencia Construction Co. Objections were based on excessive traffic on the village roads and overcrowding of schools, which it was forecast would result from extensive apartment development in the area. o The third is for 278 suites in two seven-storey buildings on Yonge Street. north of Clark Avenue. The property contin- ues through to Dudley and is south of the present York Bylaw 2237 provided a hold- ing category on apartment zon- ing which requires a bylaw to remove. It was approved by the Muncipal Board early in June this year.

If council had earlier referred there are objections an OMB to planning board an applica- hearing Will be h81d- tion from Master Brick Limited As each approval came up for discussion Councillor Charles Hoover said, “I do not agree, Mr. Reeve." He stated he had made a summary of the ratio of residential and com- mercial assessment in the town- ship and found that residential development stands at 80% on an average. which he felt was top heavy. “There are 68 suites in one of these apartment de- velopments. 262 in another and 278 in the third. That won’t help our heavy residential as- sessment." Councillor Anthony Roman said that according to studies carried out in respect to apart- ments, assessment is consid- erably higher per suite than on single family dwellings. “There are demands in today’s economy for multiple housing. If Mark- ham is to grow we have to have the proper type of de- velopment. School children from apartment suites are 200 to 300% less than for the same number of units of single fam- ily housing." Mr. Hoover still demurred. Deputy-reeve Sidney Gadsby declared himself in favor of apartments. “Markham Town- ship, if it is after industry, should be able to provide all types of homes. Unless we pro- vide for this type of develop- ment, and have proper control, then it is possible that owners of the land could go to court and have undesirable develop- ment approved. Without this plan anything could go in there.” Although Ward I Councillor Allan Sumner. who represents the area in which rthe apart- ments will be built, made no comment, he answered in the affirmative when the recorded vote was called.

His sug- gestions for the east side of the road included a commercial strip at Markham Road. backed by two circles of semi-detached homes (to balance the semis on the east side). Further south would be row housing, low den- sity, medium and high density apartment development. Cedar Avenue would be widened to 66 feet. To the east there would be a 10-foot buffer strip be- tween the housing and the rail- way right-ofâ€"way. Council had earlier referred to planning board an applica- tion from Master Brick Limited and the G. C. Romano Con- struction Ltd. to store equip- ment on property on the east side of Cedar in February 1968. The board‘s report to council also recommended that council consider acquiring lands on the east side for residential purposes when the opportunity arises. Council was advised that under the proposed zonâ€" ing bylaw this area will be classified as a holding zone. Councillor Ivan Mansbridge agreed that the present indust- rial use of the east side of Cedar is not blending with the neigh- borhood itself. “I think it very wise of planning board to make these suggestions." The evening congregation from St. John's Anglican Church last Sunday travelled to Aurora and attended the even- ing service at Trinity Anglican. The service next Sunday at 11 am will be morning prayer and the litany. The mothers’ auxiliary of the Jefferson Scouts, Cubs and Brownies met last Wednesday evening at the home of Presi- dent Mrs. D. Workman on the Gamble Sideroad. They had a short business meeting and afterwards pre- sented Jennifer Ensor with a wedding gift. Mrs. Workman’s mother Mrs. Evelyn MacNab showed seven oil paintings and told a story based on them. About nine ladies attended the meeting. There will be no meet- ing in December. The young people’s group en- joyed an evening of bowling Saturday.

Mayor Thomas Broadhurst said. “I can't for the life of me see any- one who would want to abut a railway track.” But Councillor Mansbridge maintained however that throughout Metro there are countless examples of apartment buildings abut- ting railroad tracks. Mrs. Hancey stated, “I think we should investigate this pro- posal thoroughly and discuss it at an early date. I wouldn't like to see it delayed too long.

Unlike Confederation of To- morrow Conferences (of which Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson said might hold the only seeds of hope that Canada will remain united) Legion meetings of this kind are held every second year. and provide an opportunity for the top officials of each pro- vincial command to get together and compare notes on adminis- trative matters. Such meetings prove extremely beneficial. and the recent gathering was no ex- ception. Dominion Chairman Chester Merriam presided over the meeting which was attended by Dominion President Ron Mac- Beath, Ist Vice-President Bob Kohaly, 3rd Vice-President Art Adams.

Of deep concern to the repre- sentatives was Ottawa’s delay in taking action on the Legion’s request for an increase in war disability pensions. A strongly worded letter was prepared at the meeting and sent to Prime Minister Lester Pearson over the signature of all provincial presidents. Another subject of concern was the Centennial fund cam- paign. Although Prince Edward Island. New Brunswick and Saskatchewan had reached their provincial quota. five other commands had not exceeded 65%. The total amount was still about 25% short of the $1 million target. While optimo ism was expressed that most commands would reach their quota by the end of the year, it was agreed that a special ef- fort would have to be made in the closing months if the goal was to be reached. The Legion’s Centennial p-ro- ject, to raise one million dol- lars, was endorsed at the 1964 national convention in Winni- peg, and it required a donation of $4 from each of 250,000 Leg- ion members. Purpose of the project was to establish a fund. The money would be invested and the annual interest receiv- ed would be used to further the Legion aims of service to the community. It would, in effect, he an investment in the Leg- ion's future. The fund now stands at $756.- 000 and nearly 1,300 of the Legion's 2,000 branches have met their individual targets. Many have received valuable assistance from their ladies’ auxiliaries, and it will be re- called that branch 375 met its obligation of $2,000 in the early months of this Centennial year. Your legion Reports Branch 375. Royal Canadian Legion By Eric Chapman - 884-0086 Last year there was a marked reduction in the quality and the number of essays submitted by the respective commands, and at the meeting of the National Poppy Advisory Council in Ot- tawa last April it was suggested that a committee should intro- duce ways and means to stimu- late interest in the contest. to give it a new look and place it on a higher level. so that the winners of the contest would warrant the honor of represent- ing the nation's youth at the annual Remembrance Day cere- mony. A committee under the chair- manship of Judge Redmond Roche. Dominion 2nd vice-presi- dent. took on the responsibility of endeavoring to revitalize the contest. It made its recommend- ations following discussions with prominent members of the teaching profession, and these were announced in October. From reports it would seem that student writers are once again in short supply. and con- sequently there is to be no con- test at local zone level. Instead, all branch winners will go dir- ectly to district competition. Entries from Richmond Hill and area students will be re- ceived by the public relations officer at Legion Court up un- til midnight this Saturday.
