THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Thursday. Dec. 16. 1971 12 After U.S. Sentence Edward Church of no fixed address had his Christmas plan- ned for him not only this year but for the next three when he appeared in Richmond Ilill Court Thursday afternoon. He was con\icted on four counts of passing p h on e} cheques. as well as car theft He was handed a four-y ear jail sentence To make matters even more dismal. (‘Iiurch has just fini~ shed a oneâ€"year sentence In AI~ ahama prison for car theft. In passing sentence. Judge Darid \ianek referred to a rea- sonably lengthy criminal record possessed by the accused dating hack to 1953. "I don't think you're deserv- ing of any consideration." he said to the accused. “men though you time just finished doing a yan in Alabama. Your past record. with the exception of a siv-year interval. Is not good. The public deserves to be protected." Church was found guilty of passing four forged cheques January 8 of this year in the amounts of $53.55. $24.33. $29. 38. and $43. Another conviction involved his renting a car in the Toronto area and then driving ‘it to Alabama without bother- ‘?\ Yo Matthew Watford. 15. of Headford. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Watford is shown at. the recent Royal Winter Fair in Toronto receiving the J.

By MARGA If municipalities in the "Region of York have to i RET LADE prepare long range budgets they want help from the province. When representatives of the Department of Municipal Affairs municipal accounting branch appeared at a meeting of York Region (‘ouncil Novâ€" ember ‘25 to explain the three year projection of the cost of municipal service required by the depart- ment. they met with a volley of flack from region councillors. “There is so much we don't know. How the heck do we know! what we are going to spend“? demanded Aurora Mayor Rich-_ ard Illingworth who led the at-l tack on Director of Municipal“ Accounting Al Reeve and mem- bers of his staff. been undertaken anywhere else in Ontario. “Have you any experience to fall back on?“ Oshawa has done it for a number of years. replied Reeve.

Reeve replied. “It is a necessity to plan ahead." It is essential. he continued, to have plan- ning. organization. control. A panic situation develops without a plan he told coun- cil. The Aurora May or was on his feet in a bound. “Our budgets went to the province in April and we did not get them back until September. You put us in a panic situation," Illingworth roared. “Sonic municipalities do not have their taxes in yeti" { Reeve conceded that the proâ€" vince is "a slow moving body". He admitted that. even with a three-year projection. there is The youthful and unflappable plan sewage treatment plants no guarantee that it “1-” not be Reeve replied. “I would hope you would budget far ahead of‘should start by finding out how. the year in which you are opera- ting." Any projects undertaken by a municipality usually has long term costs. said Reeve. and the department wants to assess just how assistance given to munici- palities is to be used. The region and munici- palities have already sent five-year capital forecasts to the. Municipal Board. Ill- tngworth declared. A three- year projection would mean a lot of duplication and a great deal of unnecessary work for staff of the region. The five-year forecast is a very small part of it. replied Reeve. It does not show the. annual cost of carrying charges and other operating expenses: .Illinzworth protested there is so much the municipalities do not know. such as education‘ taxes. levies for conservation authorities. regional levies. etc. that it is not possible to look ahead three years. "You have a lot to learn. You should get some experience in the field." snapped the Aurora Mayor. "Are you going to pro- vide the staff to do the work. or are you going to give us grants to pay for additional staff of our own? “I don‘t see that it will be of any use to you or anyone else." he concluded. "We are prepared but we have only 10 or 13 people working in the field." Reeve replied. Richmond Hill Regional Conn» cillor Donald Plaxton took a different tack. Boundary chan- ges effective with the inaugu~ ration of regional government have made it very difficult for municipalities to budget. he told the provincial representatives. ln Richmond Hill there are many different mill rates. he said. lThe new town of Richmond Hill incorporates parts of the former Townships of King. Whitchurch. Vaughan and Mark- ham as well as the old Town of Richmond Hill. Education levies are also frazmcnted as the municipality tries to work out its commitment to the York County Board of Education and the York County Roman Cathoâ€" lic School Board based on the numerous area board lurisdie- tions that existed before the county boards were formed in 1969*. In the southern part of the region. Plaxton continued. popu- lation forecasts are not known. nor are financial projections on debt charges that may result from capital works such as SERVERS. To try to prepare three- year projections. said Plax’ ton would be an exercise in futility. He wanted to know if such a projection has to help. ' and other capital works. You much it will cost for the next three years. You must have data to plan." A lot more has to be known. insisted East Gwillimhury Mayor Gladys Rolling. such as the cost of education. She demanded to know why the school boards asked for a adding. been projection. have not three-year “Highway 404 was supposed to be built in 1967. Why wasn't it'.‘ Provincial planning left a lot to be desired." she declared. “It is astounding that a body .like this should not know where they are going on a day to day basis.” Reeve told council. Councillor Gordon Rowe of Richmond Hill asked if professional e c o n o mists from the province would be. available to help with the long range. budget forecast. He referred to unknown factors. such as welfare and the state of the economy in the country and in the pro- vince which would have an effect on the fiscal picture in the region. Markham Mayor Anthony Rm man also protested lack of inâ€" formation froin the province. He referred to the Water Resources Commission and others that have the final say in determin~ ing the direction of much of the planning at the munitipal and regional level. Vaughan Mayor Garnet \Vil- Iiams was not disturbed. “There will be no problem in having a threeâ€"year projection in Vaug- han." Iie told couneil. "We have been doing it for years. but we should know it here other muniâ€" cipalities in the region are go- Log.“ 'hlarkliani Councillor .lanies .longeneel argued. howm er. that there are still an unusual num» ber of "unponderahles and un- certainties" in drawing up Ion:â€" range municipal budgets He referred particularly to the cost of education which. said Jon- genecl. makes up more than 50 percent of all muniCipal hud- gets. Newmarket Mayor Robert Forhan was aISo not cominced that long range finaneial plan- ning was feaSLbIe. Munictpal and regional councillors are elected for a two year period. he said. ~\et when plans are sent from a iiiuiticipality to the province "you stall for a year» and-a-half before we get them back." At the legional leLeI he want ed to know. "Will \‘aiizhan he in the I'G;lOf‘I next year?
