We should be able to say we want the value of say. two acres of land, or his portion of the price of a site,” commented Chair- man Eldred King. High School officials plan on one high school student from every four homes, so the 80 lots could be expected to reâ€" quire 20 high school places.

IProposed 200 Acre Cemetery Second In Vaughan According to Metro planning staff population projections, within 15 or 20 years. there will be about a million people in the west part of Metro, about two million in the’ centre core and a million in the east section. he stated. As the Toronto General Burying Grounds bury about 50% of all those who die in the area. they will need about four acres of land per year for the However. if the township grants the request for the 200- acre site. the trustees propose selling the Johnson property.

(Continued from Page 1) a normal school.” said Mr. McLean. “I think we can find the extra money. any municipality can af- ford it. I don’t see any need for such a long meeting." Although Vaughan Township Reeve Brian Bailey had earlier indicated that his council was prepared to approve the addi- tional debenture request, he pointed out that the $300,000 included $32,000 for a package sewage disposal plant for the school. Pointing out that word had just been received of the approval of a sewage disposal plant in Vaughan Township that would serve the school, he asked assurance from Rich- mond Hill that it would permit temporary attachment to its disposal system by the school until the plant was ready. If this were done. $32,000 could be deleted from the debenture re- quest, he said. Vaughan, Markham 8. Woodbridge Agree ' Mayor Broadhurst refused to give this assurance however. “I only heard about this apâ€" proval 10 minutes before the meeting." he said and his coun- cil had not discussed it. He also stressed that Richmond Hill had A ZOOâ€"acre cemetery site is sought in Vaughan Township by the Trustees of Toronto General Bury- ing Grounds.

Thus 25 or 100 acre cemeteries are of no use. If permission were given for the new site. the trustees would dispose of the Johnson farm. Mr. Robinson advised. The land there could he expected to de- velop more quickly than the site further north. he said. and the northerly site would be more difficult to develop. Mr. Robinson felt that Vaughan Township Plan- ning Board had turned down the request for the new site because the need for it had not been estab- lished. Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto will be full in 10 or 15 years. he said. as will Prospect Cemetery. The 100 acre York Cemetery In Willow- dale and the 166 acre insisted ever since the school was first proposed that it would be unable to provide sewer service for it in the town's overoladed sewage system. Deputy-reeve S. J. Gads- by of Markham attempted to present a motion that the municipalities accept their share of the increase but Mr. Broadhurst pointed out that the meeting could not bind the municipalities. Mr. Longhouse also ob- jected that the meeting was a fact-finding one and asked that the motion be declared out of order. High School Board Chairman Allan Peck thanked those pres- ent “It has been heartening to us to hear what has been said about the need," he said, He reminded the councillors how- ever. that time was of the es- sence and that before time ran out for signing of the contract in less than 60 days, the board would have to have the approval also of York County Council and the MOH. “We would like to hear a yes or no as promptly as possible,” he said. “We have just 13 months to get this school up £1.00 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, July 11, 19 Beechwood Cemetery in Vaughan will be needed to serve the centre core of Metro and there is no more land available for cemeteries in Metro. “We have to look ahead 15 or 20 years and get land at a reasonable price." Mr. Robin- son advised. “We must go to the fringes of Metro." He advised that the propos- ed site would continue in an agricultural usage for 10 or 15 years. during which time full municipal taxes'would be paid on it. _ In answer to a question about required services. Mr. Robinson advised that the cemetery would require storm sewers but would hope to pump water from a creek (a tributary of the Hum- bert for watering puposes. He admitted however. that OWRC approval had not yet been sought or obtained for this. Toronto General Burying Grounds was chartered as a non-profit charitable organiza- tion in 1826 and its cemeteries are non-denominational. Its first site was of six acres at the north-west corner of Bloor and Yonge Streets, near the Yorkville area, at that time out- side the city limits. This was closed in 1850 and moved to the 18-acre Necropolis site which was in operation for about 100 years. It is now full but will be maintained in per- petuity. Some municipalities operate cemeteries as do some churches. As Well, there are commercial establishments which operate the so called "lawn" type cemeter- ies on a profit basis. Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Bayview Avenue was acquired in 1873 and 1883 and its 200 acres were also outside the city limits at that time. Prospect Cemetery in Toronto‘s west end was purchased in 1890.
