He was apparently referring to the members of Richmond Hill Council in his remark. The commission had just heard Secretary Brian Ward read a letter announcing the Municipal Board will hold a hearing in the Richmond Hill Council Chambers at 10 am September 10 to determine who owns a small van. The var; was used in Rich- mond Hill during the last, half of 1970 in the traffic safety program conducted by a mem- ber of the former Richmond Hill Police Department. A 12-year-old Metro girl at press time was described as doing fine in Branson Hospital after being badly injured when attacked and bitten by a German Shep- herd night guard dog at 1 pm August 19. Tracey Leslie. daughter of Roger Leslie. 42 East- erley Crescent, Azincourt. was attacked by the dog at the Horvill Fina Service Station at Dufferin Street and Steeles Avenue West In Vaughan Town, accord- ing to York Region Police. When the Richmond Hill Po-l lice Department became pan of. the big York Region Police‘ Force January 1 the van was claimed by the new force. Police said the dog al- legedly was free in the bay area of the station when it ran out and attacked the girl as she was walking across the lot. taking her left 1911.r in its mouth and shaking her from side to side. Richmond Hill municipal authorities maintain the van is the property of the town and they held onto the ownership papers. r In spite of this. the van dis- appeared from the town park- ing lot. It is said to have been seen with new 1971 license plates, even though the town still holds the ownership papers. nun llvnuu “u v ‘ .-.._r r“r-,c. The van has been seen park- ed behind at least one region police station since January 1. but apparently hasn‘t been yet used for police purposes. Town council and police com- mission met face to face on one occasion, but the dispute con- tmues.

In Simcoe and Ontario Counties the cost would be $33.52. and in Leeds- Grenville $38. ‘ During the past two years. busing costs have increased 7.1 percent with increased enrol- ment accounting for about half of the increased cost. In addition to cost ‘of daily scheduled runs, the board will pay a minimum of $35 per trip for field trips to Metro south of Highway 401. N0 additionalw charges are to apply to Satur- day and Sunday field trips. but extended field trips involving overnight layover will be billed individually as the need arises. The board anticipates an in-‘ crease in costs of about three percent in the coming year due to increased enrolment.

In a press conference that followed the meeting Mr. Bales said his staff has ex- amined the preliminary budget carefully and he is satisfied that council can make the necessary reduct- ions. Often. he said, money is put into a budget that is not needed â€" for example: additional staff that has not been hired. A reporter questioned the wisdom of some municipalities in tendering for or purchasing‘ new fire halls. Mr. Bales pointâ€" ed out that these were capital expenditures and would not be included in a current or opera- tional budget. New sewer in- stallations and new roads. he pointed out, come in the same category. It was suggested that cuts might be made in administrat- ive costs.

A press release received this week from Ot- tawa reports that Robert Stanbury MP, Scar- boro and Minister responsible for citizenship, has announced a federal grant of $4,270 to the CRASH youth hostel in Richmond Hill Arena. As part of the Summer ’71 program for youth, the hostel in the banquet room of the new arena was intended to provide accommoda- tion for 40 young travellers nightly plus a cold breakfast and community information for the price of 50c. According to the press release the hostel has been operating since July 6 and is expected to operate until September '7. In fact it was July 23 before the hostel was in operation. The bunk beds, mattresses and bedding which the government was supposed to provide have not arrived. The six young people operating it, however, made a public appeal through the local television station and mattres- ses were donated. The first of the federal money for the $300 rental to the arena board, salaries and supplies arrived August 6. The $2.135 first installment is just about gone, but gifts from the commun- ity have helped to keep the hostel in operation. Borden’s donated 50 pounds of dried milk, and Nescafe enough coffee for 500 servings. There have also been donations from private citizens, so staff has been able to provide a. breakfast of cereal and coffee for the 50-odd young people who have crashed in the past four weeks.

School boards should. there- fore. also receive such a re- b'ate. Staffer Bradley Playford reports that as many as eight young people have stopped over on a busy night. He is hoping that business will pick up now that there are signs around the town advising transients that there is a hostel. Business so far, he says, has been referred by the YOuth Aid Centre on Markham Road, the information kiosk in Richvale, and young people in the community who have been asked about a place to stay overnight. Bradley expects that as young people head back home at the end of the month there will be more demand for services. The hostel is open from 10 pm to 10 am, and the area is partitioned to provide 28 beds for males and 12 for females. A male and a fe- male staffer are on duty from 9 pm to 11 am seven days a week. Drugs and alcohol are for- bidden on the premises, and no smoking is al- lowed in the sleeping area. Minimum age for crashers was set at 16, and in the beginning the rule was that no per- son living within a radius of 45 miles would be admitted. However with business so slow, staf- fers have made an exception in a few cases. Others on staff are Janice Jones, Bob Duern, Ruth Francis, Mike Brown and Marlene Yoteff, all Richmond Hill residents. Adult volunteers also assist in supervision of the hostel. About 100 hostels across Canada are receiv- ing grants from the federal government this year. When it gave permission for use of the ar- ena, Richmond Hill Town Council had misgivings about noise being a nuisance to neighboring res- idents, but York Regional Police in Richmond Hill report that there has been no trouble to their knowledge, either from the hostel or from the hundreds of travelling young peeple who have passed through the community.
