BY MARY DAWSON A December decision of Rich- mond Hill Council to revise water rates upward. with a mini- mum charge of $9 per quarter {or each residential unit. came under attack at Monday night‘s council meeting. Most of the protests came from residents of Blythwood Apartments at 67 Richmond Street. a l t h o u g h individual councillors reported receiving one or two complaints about the increase. Thomas McQueen. owner of Blyihwood Apartments. 67 Rich- mond Street. took exception to the increase. pointing out that the water bill for the 53 suites in his building has been appro- ximatelyl$800 per annum. Under the new rate the bill will amount to $1.908 Ian increase of 138%). He said passing this in- crease on to the tenants will mean a rise in rents of $2 per apartment per month.

The fact is we have not been operating on a paying basis for the last two years.

Council reaffirmed its Decem- ber decision on motion of Re- gional Councillor Plaxton and Councillor Chateauvei’t. Councillor Lois Hancey said the report on which council based its decision is available to any resident who wishes to read it at the municipal offices. “Perhapsit will help them understand why this was the only decision we could make," she said. vuuy ..v...‘.,._.._\, "I can see some inequities.

Outgoing letters and cards totalled 480.000 dur- ing the Christmas season and incoming letters and cards more than doubled that number at 1,200,000. Incoming parcels numb- ered 11,700. up to 1,400 from last year. The in- crease in the number ofi outgoing parcels is not known since no count is made of these. But it is bel- ieved to be in proportion. In spite of higher postage rates and reported declines in other areas of Canada. Richmond Hill Post Office reports a lOO’n increase in the volume of mail handled at Christmas 1971. Sixty-four extra people were employed by Rich- mond Hill P05t Office to handle with seasonal in- crease in mail. These were employed in outgoing sort- ation. sorting of carriers‘ daily loads and assisting carriers on their walks.

Richmond Hill Cduncnllor‘ Donlad Plaxton. himself a law-l yer. suggested keeping costs} down by hiring a recent law graduate and paying him a sal- ary commensurate with his knowledge and experience. "Several hundred of these are foisted on an unsuspecting public each year." said Plaxton. "This person could handle a lot of the routine work. how- ever. and learn as he. goes." At this point. said Cakes. such a person would not fill the bill. Clerical staff can handle much of the rouline work, such as l'itle searching. The region needs someone well versed in municipal law, he said. MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE The only way to get someone like this would be to hire a law- yer away from some other municipality. as it would take about 10 years to gain the knowledge and experience re- quired for the job. If he adver- tised now. Oakes said, it would probably be March or April before he got somebody. There was no build-up of mail. the volume peaking early and being fairly con- stant. The post office staff gives credit for this happy situation to the co-operation of the public which heeded the warnings to mail early. At Thornhill an even greater increase was noted. The load was handled by the same number of staff as last year â€"â€" an ad- dition of 57 seasonal helpâ€" ers to the regular staff. An increase of 75,000 pieces of mail was noted in both the incoming and outgoing let- ters and cards, 6.000 in- crease in incoming parcels and between 34,000 in out- going parcels. Again, the outgoing mail is only about half the vol- ume of the incoming mail. By December 24 all mail in the post offices had been delivered. emphasizing the fact that early mailing is an essential part of efficient mail delivery.
