BRUCE KING Hydro Promotion Civic meetings are rare occasions in the Town of Richmond Hill and although rare these meetings are usually poorly attended.

AN INVITATION TO THE CITIZENS OF RICHMOND HILL ’ TO ATTEND NOMINATION NIGHT u. ..v......_..- ".6--. 5:135 in the auditorium ot'n’i‘ciirho'nd Hill High School on Wright Street. This meeting will give each citizen the opportunity to hear the candidates contesting the various seats in the December 6th elections for Council and for the Hydro Commission and to question the candidates personally afterwards. I am standing this year as a candidate for the office of Mayor of your munic- ipality. I feel that those citizens interested should be afforded the opportunity to learn about the changes which the provincial government wishes to make in the structure and boundaries of the local and county levels of government, I feel that your local representatives on this Council should be ready to present and discuss plans and data with the provincial representatives and be able to procure by negoti- ation and compromise where necessary, anrexpanded area of local administration and (where possible) retain as many local areas of responsibility as feasible. In this term there will also be other major concerns â€" Yonge Street Recon- struction. its physical, commercial and traffic problems and the initiation of a youth programme which will assist the bewildered youth of this town to find a solution to their problems and to find their individual goals in this community and their future. I have served on your local council for the past six years â€" 2 one year terms and two 2 year terms ~â€" as a Councillor representing Ward ll. During these years I have served on various committees â€"â€"â€" Finance, of which I have been vice-chairman for six years; Personnel. which I have chaired for five years; Industrial, which I chaired in my initial year; and the Police & Fire Committee and Transportation 8: Parking Committees. 1 have served as Council representative on the Arena Board for six years; on The pharmacy also co-operates with the local H60 cross in me operation 01 a loan cupboard for hospital appliances. etc. At present besides myself my pharmacy employs twelve residents of Richmond Hill and seven high school students on a part. time and summer basis.

We have three children, Carolynne 12, Christine nearly 9 and Bill Jr. nearly 5 â€" a cat, six guinea pigs and a few tropical fish. May I suggest that when you feel in the future that you have a civic complaint about your municipal administration. you ask yourself these questions: Did \I exercise my franchise to vote at the last municipal election? Do I‘know who is representing the at the municipal level? . Have I listened to the views of the candidates who wished to represent me? Be able to answer all of these questions with an affirmative "Yes", Be present at nomination night Monday. Nm ember 24th. Vote for the candidates of your choice Saturda). December 6th.

King Township Council. King Township Plan- ning Board and Nobleton Devel- opments Limited has been can- celed at the request of the de- velopment company. Reeve Gordon Cook said he has been advised the company is not prepared to produce its proâ€" posal at this time and the meet- ing will not be held until after the December 6 municipal elec- lions. 1300 Homes Possible The meeting was requested by the village trustees. who are seeking assurance that sewer and water services could be provided. The Police Association Postpones Fall Dance The fall dance originally planned by the Richmond Hill Police Association has been postponed. as gala an affair as had been planned so his committee is directing all of its efforts to plan for another police assoc- iation dance scheduled next spring. Eancel Meeting On Nobleton Subdivision Cénstable Ken Paton, enter- tainment chairman, said there is not enough time to arrange “Ngxt year we hope to have both the spring dance and a fall dance," he said. The entertainment commit- tee is also making preliminary plans for a police association- sponsored hockey spectacular, also to be held next spring. On November 4 Mr. (‘ook told council he is in favor of Nobleton being serviced Thursday, Nov. 20, 1969 “'lLLIANI C. LAZENBY “if they go about getting services through proper channels," but the planning board has raised questions about allowing “massive de- velopment” in King Town- ship. "Until we have received the Official Plan. we don't know how far .we can go in any dir- ection without having the an- swers we need." said the reeve. “We have been hearing about this proposal for eight months now, but never has the develop- er made a submission to council or the planning board. If this is so urgent, we will have to deal with it in the next couple of weeks. but we should have heard what is planned months ago." he added. “The planning board can’t de- cide who I should not meeL," he told council. Mr. Cook added that servicing the Nobleton area is now being studied by the Minister of En- ergy and Resources and until this study, along with approval of the Official Plan, is com- pleted, council won‘t know where it's at. Deputy-reeve Ken Mactaggart observed that the village trust- ees are as concerned as town- ship council. “We wouldn't be so far off base in considering this.” said Councillor Gordon Rowe. “It isn’t as if this development were in the middle of nowhere.” Mr. Rowe also questioned the authority of the planning board in asking that the proposal first come before the planners before going to council. “This is a project of immense magnitude and we have to explore every aven- ue to determine how much it is going to cost to provide services. These decisions are going to have to be made and we just can‘t sit on our hands and do noth- ing until after the election,“ said Councillor Ernie Cross- land. ross in the operation of a “This development would be a financial advantage whether we are sitting here or someone else is sitting here when it goes ahead," added Councillor Cyril Flinders. “I agree with the concept of such a built up area and the only way we can get this is to have a principle of providing sewerage." added Mr. Rowe. “Development has to be in built up areas and this is such a development," said Mr. Flin- ders. "I think the statement that there will not be sewers in King is ludicrous," observed Mr. Crossland. "The first thing that has to happen is an economic study on how this will effect the town- ship by the planning consultant of the township and county." added Mr. Cook. "We are not going to decide to go ahead with this right now, this would be a fact find- ing meeting, but this is going In come someday and we have to be prepared." said Mr. Cross- land. “Yes. we have to have some kind of study to decide what impact 1,300 homes will have on the community. We‘ll set the meeting for November 12." said Mr. Cook. “Council has questions which must be answered. let. the de- veloper give us some of the answers," added Mr. Mactag- gal‘t. for the offices of Mayor, Reeve, Deputy-Reeve and Four Councillors, (One Councillor for each of the said Wards of the Municipality), and Two Hydro Elec- tric Commissioners will be held in the AUDITORIUM OF THE RICHMOND HILL HIGH SCHOOL Between the hours of 7:30 pm. and 8:30 pm. by the Returning Officer.
