Final decision now rests with the provincial govern- ment. A meeting between representatives of Richmond Hill and Vaughan and the Minister of Municipal Af- fairs will be the next step along the road to amalgama- tion.

Mr. Bailey felt the reason for avoiding these main topâ€" ics appears the cost~sharing factor related to separate tax basis. To arrive at a mutual- ly satisfactory cost sharing basis would be virtually im~ possible because of a wide variety of individual bene- fits derived.

HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Markham Township Police are investigating thefts, break-ins and vandalism which occurred over the weekend in two town- ship schools. Returning Officer Roy Haines who is operating out of his home at 48 Sherwood Forest 'Drive in Markham Village, was unable to estimate this week just how many voters there are ‘in the riding. Population fig- ures too are unknown, although at the time of the last census, in 1961, there were 77,007 peo- ple in the riding. Mr. Haines advises that of ‘this total, 36% live in the :small portion of the riding which is below Steeles Avâ€" [enue, in the area from Steeles {south on Yonge Street to High- 'way 401, east along 401 to Bay- ,view, north of Bayview to gFinch, east on Finch to Victoria Park and north to Steeles.
