Mill Pond Park To Be Rejuvenated, Developed, Stress Natural Beauty January 1 Suggests 50¢ A Head For Canine Control Still another problem to be resolved with the advent of York Regional Government was noted at Richmond Hill Town A letter from James Ryan was received stating that he would be happy to continue to supply canine control services to the expanded municipality after the first of the year. He suggested that the fees be based on a per capita basis of 50c a year which is the rate being charged by Ontario Hu- mane Societies for similar serv- ices. Council at its November 9 meeting. Mr. Ryan at present provides this service for the existing town and Townships of Mark- ham and Vaughan, parts of which will be in the new Town of Richmond Hill. He has done so since 1960. King and Whit- church Townships, which will also contribute acreage, people and dogs to the new town. are served by the Ontario Humane Society from kennels located in Aurora. If the new fees are based on the proposed 50c per capita basis; then the $1 per dog lic- ence at present received by Mr. Ryan will be forfeited. The matter was referred to council's bylaw committee for discussion and recommenda- tion.

Alliston was unable to make yardage and punted to midfield and the action was on. Three plays later Thornhill was on the 25 yard line where Quarterback John Stevens shot a quick pitch- out to Bagg who broke around end and didn't stop until he crossed the goaline. ‘ plans for this area, but the pot- ential use is high for nature ed- ucation and winter or spring bird watching. SWAMP LAND At the northern end of the pond is an area which has silted in badly and has large amounts of organic debris which, as it decays. removes oxygen from the water. It is recommended this area be dredged. all debris ac- cumulated on the bottom or burned; replanting and that boardwalks be used to accom- modate traffic without damage to the fragile plant and soil structure. Diversion of storm drainage to the downstream side of the dam will also improve the water; quality of the pond. This watein adds many other pollutants which reduce the water quality. BEACH AREA A small sand beach, near Mill Street. will accommodate small children at play, but is not in- tended for swimming, although seine paddling may be done. It will have a building containing washrooms and an area for skate changing during the win- ter, will provide for picnicking, water activities and for concen- tration of people. There will be other picnic areas used for informal winter and summertime activities. part- icularly in the table grassland area.

The consultants recognized soil the opportunity to extend the park at some future date both to the south and to the north and “Ml recommends this action. Alliston attempted to stage a late game rally but were foiled on three different occasions when short completed passes got them into scoring positions. Thomhill picked up its final two points just before halftime when an Alliston player was dumped behind his goaline for two .points. “We were giving them the short passes,” said Coach His- cott. “We just wanted to make sure they didn‘t complete the long bombs.” Coach Hiscott had high praise for all the players but singled out the play of inside linebacker Micke “Animal” Jackson as parti- cularly outstanding. craft house {converted from theicouncil present parks building on the comma south side of Mill), 3 future recrea1 historic site and the parking devote lots.

Plans for the section south of Mill Street include two parking areas for a total of 52 ca-rs, and picnic areas. Installation of the storm drainage system and a planting program would be integral parts of this first phase. Parks Board Chairman Shaun Beggs reported the board hopes to have a balance of $20,000 to $23,000 on hand at the end of this year towards this cost. and the $18,000 grant from the Prov- incial Government already ap- proved and is hoping for ad- ditional funds from next year’s budget. The consultants’ report sug- gests assistance for development of the park may also be sought from service clubs. societies, naturalists, and other interested groups and individuals â€" either through donations of money or a specific skill or labor. The De- partment of Engergy and Re- sources Management will con- tribute 50‘7’0 of the expenditures up to a maximum of $100,000. Total estimated cost of the pro- ject as planned by Canadian Mitchell Associates is $285,000. ‘Other assistance may be avail- able, it was noted, by working in co-operation with Metro Con- ,servation Authority. Work will not begin until next spring. Parks Chairman Beggs promised. so that Rich- mond Hillites may enjoy the winter sports on the pond. “Our biggest asset all year,” he said. “lay in the fact we weren‘t just a two or three star team. We were a well balanced club and that‘s what paid off for us Th; Sfépbsad conéept. which today.” An indication of the dominat- ing factor of the Thornhill team all season are the statistics which show that they scored 344 points against the opposition while allowing only eight. A further interesting sidelig‘ht to the game was the fact that the school‘s principal, Bill Me- Vicar. was the head coach of the Thornhill Seniors when they last won the Georgian Bay championship in 1964. This is Mr. McVicar’s first year as principal of the school. The game itself was a wet, muddy one with spectators forc- ed to run for their lives to avoid being dmwned on any sideline dashes by the football players. It was an awesome sight any time a substitute entered the game with his clean uniform providing a stark contrast to the blackened ones on the field.

THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Nov. 1 !Clerk, Banker Appointed I "I don't know what kind of ‘con’ game is going on here. but it is quite obVious that some of us aren’t part of it," said the Aurora mayor. Raps Political Patronage In New Regional Council “I hoped for a new outlook in the government of this newly organized municipality, with new ideals. But it is evident we are back to the same old thing. I'm very disappointed,” said Mayor Illingworth. ROLLING DEFENDS WRIGHT. “The chairman failed us. ‘conned’ us into it.‘ This is the worst kind of political patron- age. I hope it is never repeated. Smarting under the Aurora mayor‘s attack, East Gwillim- bury Mayor Mrs. Gladys Roll- ing rose to the defence. Coming from ChairmanI Wright‘s old municipality, Mayor Rolling had led the. council majority in supporting appointment of the chief ad- ministrative officer and clerk, two top posts, without adver- tising. “It doesn‘t mean anyone is necessarily wrong because we disagree. Each is entitled to his own opinion. I still stand! behind the position I took, and} would do the same again.” said Mrs, Rolling. Mayor Iliingworth put his finger on the nub of the situation when he pointed out that the chair- man hadn’t advertised the two top administrative jobs of administrator and clerk, while at the same time other top jobs were advertised. He said the chairman hadn't waited for any council direction on whether to advertise. ‘ He also pointed out later that the council was moving to appoint the new municipal cor- poration's bankers, without hearing proposals from anyone but the Toronto-Dominion Bank. A blistering verbal fusillade was fired last week at Chairman Garfield Wright and his support- ing majority during the regular meeting of York Region Council. The big gun was Aurora Mayor Dick Illingâ€" worth, fresh from a long rest in hospital, and spoiling for a fight. Mayor Illingworth said he couldn't support what was going on in any shape or form. “You‘re breaking the basic principles of democratic gov- ernment at the very beginning. I call for all people who believe in democracy to support me,” declared the Aurora mayor. NAME VERNON CLERK Richmond Hill Councillor Donald Plaxton took the same position as Mayor Illingwoxth on the bank appointment. Mayor Illingworth's “beef” wasabout the pass- ing out of political appointments and privileges Without equal opportunities being given to all appli- cants. But the council went ahead and handed out the job to To- ronto-Dominion on an interim basis. The council also went ahead and appointed County Clerk Robert Vernon, 31, as the reg- ion’s new clerk, at a salary of $19,000 a year. His present sal- ary is $18,000, plus $500 car allowance. A real surprise came when Chairman W r i g h t resigned from the York Region Police Commission appointment he won at the previous council meeting.

Mayor Tom Surgeoner finally had to threaten to call a police officer to remove the teenage delega- tion so council could proceed. with Richmond Hill Mayor Wil- liam Lazenby and Richmond Hill Councillor Gordon Rowe over the appointment.
