The works committee chairman, Deputy - reeve Floyd Perkins agreed that it would be a good thing to head off the trouble and promised action at an early date. Last year after a two- week drought in early Julie the town was forced to in- troduce a schedule for lawn watering. All portions of the town lying north of the centre line of Crosby Ave- nue and east of the centre line of Yonge Street were permitted to water their lawns between the hours of 7 and 10 pin on l‘anes- days and Saturdays. Those living south of the centre line of Crosby Ave- nue and east of the centre line of Yonge Street drew lawn watering privileges between the same hours Tuesdays and Fridays, and those lying west of the centre line of Yonge Street at the same time ’on Mon- days and Thursdays. These regulations worked effectively for a week to ten days. when the “mon- soon season" of heavy rains began and continued throughout the remain- der of what should have been the hot weather. Members of the Richmond Hill Planning Board groped their way Tuesday night of last week toward a meeting with town council to straighten out continuing confusion on policy regard- ing approving or disapprov- mg housing subdivision and apartment applications. Chairman Harry Sayers referred to council‘s latest policy directive to the board as “Still confusing and re- ferring to some areas which are not the responsibility of this board." Council‘s policy state- ment â€"â€" as authored by Mayor Thomas Broadhurst, asked the board to consider applications strictly on their planning merits taking into account the adequacy of serâ€" vices as best knoiin to them and to recommend to council accordingly .

An intense flurry of ac- tivity on the part of real estate salesmen in the Bath- urst-Yonge Street corridor of Vaughan Township this week is taking place ap- parently as a result of ruinâ€" orcd cabinet approval of an up-stveam sewage treat- ment plant to serve the area. While the OWRC has in the past stated it is against its policy to permit a pro~ Mention of small treat- ment plants, it has been under heavy pressure to permit a plant on the branch of the Don River which runs through Vaughâ€" an Township between Yonge and Bathurst. A plant was permitted on a branch of the same river in Markham Township to serve the Thornhill area Particularly pressing is the need to provide sewage facilities for the planned addition to York Central Hospital. Wastes from the hospital are presently taken into the Richmond Hill sewage system but the plant and system there is at capâ€" acity and Richmond Hill Council has insisted ever since the hospital addition was first planned that no additional sewage treat- lnent facilities could be pro- vided.

T WINS T0 Rumored Sewage Plant Ups Local Land Sales lies just beyond the borders of the town, in Vaughan Township. The proposed Vaughan treatment plant would also solve the dilemma of York Central High School Board which has plans well under way for a vocational school immediately east of the hospital. it is known too that other developments in the area have been marking time, pending provision of sewage facilities. Chief among these is a 382-acre residential subdivision on Lots 41 and 42, between Carrville Road and Weld- rick Road, plans for which were presented to Vaughan Township Council first in October, 1965 by Baif As- sociates Limited. A density of between 25 and 30 persons per acre is proposed for the develop- ment. which would produce a population for the area of between 10 and 12.000 people. Commercial areas are planned for both the Bathâ€" urst and Yonge Street frontages of the develop- ment.
