This de- cision was based upon a maximum sale price of $5 each and that 100 books will be retained by the township for distribution to visiting official dignitaries. A quotation for printing 1,000 copies of the history has been recevied by the Vaughan Township Historical Society from the University of Toronto Press in the amount of $12,950.

The $15,000 will thus buy 1,400 copies of the history. In thanking council for their co-operation, George Snider, speaking for the Vaughan Township Histori- cal Society pointed out that the present boundaries of the township have been in exist- ence for 176 or 177 years, that since 1850 it has been governed by a council of five men which was increased to seven four years ago. The facts are important to re- member in view of the im- minence of regional govern- ment on January 1. 1971. Some years ago, the Pennsylvania Dutch Folklore Society declared its interest in preserving the history of this township, in which a large number of their ances- tors settled in the last few years of the 18th century and the first few years of the 18th century and the first few years of the 19th cen- tury. The society offered a scholarship, which was ac- cepted by Leo Johnson who used as his thesis the history of the Township of Vaughan. He confined his research and thesis to the ‘settlement of the Township or vaugnan from its beginning to the year 1840. He did not con- tinue with the history be- cause he moved from the To- ronto area and the nature of his employment did not per- mit him to continue further. The folklore society conâ€" tinued to try to publish the whole history of the town- ship but. because of limited funds and inability to secure the services of a competent writer, finally decided not to pursue th e undertaking further. However an anonymous in- terested person continued to search for a writer who could and would finish the task. He was successful in persuading Dr. Elmore Reaman, a retired university professor who was born, raised and educated in the township and was the author of several volumes. to compile and write the his- tory. The anonymous person also provided remuneration for Dr. Reaman and his ex- P811565. Following the death of Dr. Reaman, the historical society was organized early this year and appointed a committee to review the content of the his- tory as written by Dr. Rea- man. During recent months they have made numerous corrections and have rewrit- ten portions for clarity. The manuscript. an accumulation of interesting detail respect- ing the early settlement of the township is ready. The committee reports that a large part of this history has been gleaned from the Tweedsmuir Histories com- piled by branchcs of the Women‘s Institute located in the Township of Vaughan. Members of the committee are: Mrs.‘ Amos Baker, Mrs. Roy Barker and Mrs. Jesse Bryson. They received assist- ance from the convenors of the Tweedsmuir Histories of the Women‘s Institutes in the township and from other sources.
