At council's Februaly 11 meeting the Canadian Kennel Club was represented by M. 0. Watson. 3 Toronto barrister and solicitor. Vaughan Township Council has postponed for two meetings third reading of its new dog control bylaw, which provides for licencing all dogs in the township and does not provide for a kennel fee. It is hoped that by that time it will be known when proposed legisla‘ tion to amend the Livestock and Poultry Protection Act will be brought before the Legislature. 'Mr. Watson reviewed the sit- uation in Whitchurch Township. where a court of appeal ruled that kennel nwners were not exempt from the licencing fee for each dog by payment of a kennel fee. Vaughan Will Hold Dog Control Bylaw For Month Somewhat radical changes are contained in a proposed bylaw to control discharge of firearms in Vaughan Township. The by- law at present in force permits no firearms to be discharged anywhere in the township ex~ cept with the permission of council. It came into effect in October 1967.

" He stated he was very much against the report of the finance committee which recommended that the appli- cation be withdrawn. “We're 99 yards down the straight- away and there is no excuse for not going all. the way. This has great implication for the whole township and it's our responsibility to en- sure we do get a decision at this point." - Although warned by Clerk Ted Jackman that if the hearing is to proceed on March 6 it must be advertis- ed‘ this week, council decid- ed to defer further consider- ation of the matter until its February 25 meeting. This will give them an opportunity to hold further discussions with Maple Trustees. who were represented at Tuesday ‘ Councillor Fraser warned against the tendency to defer action because of the im- minence of regional govern- ment. He also pointed out to council that the hearing is scheduled so that the de- cision could be reflected in this year's taxes. night’s meeting. Thornhill Trustees were not represent- ¢d, The clerk also noted the application could be with- drawn at any time up to and including March 6. Councillors Dalton Mc- Arthur and David Fraser fought a losing battle Tues- _d_ay night at Vaughan Town- ship Council to have the Municipal Board’s hearing on the township’s application to-modify the terms of ex- isting road agreements with the Police Villages of Thom- hill and Maple proceed on March 6 as planned. The present act provides that‘slo Vaughan Defers Action Village Rd. Pact Deputy-reeve Albert Ruther- ford, who was presiding in the absence of Reeve Garnet Wil- liams, pointed out to Mr. Wat- son and the delegation of ken- nel ovmers who accompanied him, that dog control cost Vaug- han $12,675 in 1968, including $933 in claims for livestock des- troyed by dogs running at large. where a dog tax is levied, ken- nels registered with the Canad- ian Kennel Club are exempt on payment of a $10 licence fee. Mr. Watson explained. The act also provides that a municipal- ity can licence dogs, but does not provide a kennel exemption in this case. The proposed amendment to the act will pro- vide such exemption at a fee of $25. Council’s general purpose committee pointed out that the proposed bylaw will place the onus on owners or tenants of lands to decide who may or may not discharge a gun on their property. ten authorization of the owner. This authorization shall be carâ€" ried on the person to whom it is issued while on the property. Rifles will be limitedito a lower powered 22 calibre and shotguns to 12 gauge. Police officers will be exempt from provisions of the bylaw, which also provides for the dis- charge of firearms of the above calibre at a lawful shooting range or gallery, skeet club or shooting meet authorized by council. The committee also reported that Police Chief William Shim- min has indicated he concurs with provisions of the proposed bylaws. Councillor David Fraser not- ed that »these proposals con- stitqte rather violent changes Dog tags brought in $6,019 and kennel licences $270 (at $10 each). leaving a deficit to Maple Trustees' Chairman Fred Young felt a decision by the OMB in favor of the township would mean the demise of the Police Village “Why should my neighbor who lives in the township pay 15.3 for roads while I pay less than a mill?" asked Mr. McArthur “Maple rate- payers pay the half mill levy by the township for street lighting, contribute towards the township’s parks budget and then to an extra amount spent by village trustees on street lighting and parks. It seems they are willing to pay the township assessment for parks. street lighting, and extra village assessments in these areas. but do not want to pay the township for roads." Councillor M c A r t h u r claimed that as a Maple re- sident he is the only one of the seven sitting members of council to be directly affectâ€" ed, whose taxes are going to go up by the proposal for the township to take over village roads and levy the same road rate on all muni- cipal ratepayers. He pointed out that in 1968 the road rate in the township (outside the police villages) was 15.3 mills and in Maple was slightly less than one mill. Thornhill‘s rate was about the same. The difference in revenue. had-the two vil- lages’ ratepayers paid the township rate, amounted to $41,800. With the addition of a provincial grant of the same amount. the township would have had an extra $83,000 to spend on its roads.

Architects for the project will be Weir and Cripps Part- ners of Toronto who will be paid on a time-basis instead of a flat rate. The firm is pre- sently working on other pro- jects in town and travel costs wouldn't be involved. It was explained that paying on a time basis would cut the total cost to one half of what it would be on a flat rate basis. The board will occupy the two-storey school which totals 8,000 square feet of floor space. Mr. Watson countered with the claim that little of this ex- pense was caused by owners of kennels registered with the Canadian Kennel Club, who raise only purebred dogs. “Their animals are too valuable The board also decided to purchase used furniture for the administration offices as an economic measure.

Deputy-reeve Albert Ruth- erford said he thought the OMB should make the de- cision. “They have never had the intestinal fortitude to touch it before.“ The deputy- reeve chaired the meeting in “Delay at this time means we might as well for- get it," warned Councillor Fraser. “Regardless of the OMB decision it will be too late to affect this year‘s taxes. You are gambling on $40.000 this year." Councillor Gordon Risk stated he agreed with Coun- cillor McArthur in principle but is not so sure that a fast answer on regional govern- ment is not going to be given by the province. “Under the circumstances. I am willing to gamble and defer this for one month." This year the trustees are planning to spend $10,000 on roads in the village. continue with improving street light- ing and developing parks, and increase support of the recreation board. He reported that on a bud- get of $22,000 in 1968 the trustees had maintained roads, made a cash donation of $5.000 towards the town- ship's overall road program. improved parks and made a substantial donation to the Maple Area Recreation Board. of Maple, since the trustees would have to levy a rate over and above all other township rates for village purposes, making it more expensive to live in the vil- lage than in the township. only 1: animals let run I. “They purebred are too vaI r1 at large 5/ don‘t wa By this time council was entangled in a net of motion. amendment and amendment to the amendment. which was untangled quickly on Mr. McArthur‘s suggestion that a show of hands on the two week deferment be taken. The decision was four to two for deferment. Councillor John Gilbert said he didn‘t think "the Maple Trustees are that hard boiled. I think they see the handwriting on the wall.
