VOL. 96, NO. 13. R. Hil And Vau A crowd of about 150 people” including at least a dozen rep-l‘ resentatives of Ontario Hydro.= greeted Dr. Omond Solandt at’ Don Head Secondary School‘ September 22 to present and hear arguments on the loca-‘ tion of a 610 foot hydro right»i ofâ€"way from Nanticoke to Pick-. ering. Over the past three years Hydro has considered three possible routes :and has selected the middle route. through King Township as the most desirable. Interested peo-t ple in that township and in other areas along the proposed line had fought its selection. resulting in the appointment of. a one-man commission l The next most preferredl route runs through Vaughani and Richmond Hill. Both routes‘ were outlined on a large map on the platform. 3 During the hearing. Charlesj Samuels of King Township put1 on a display a mockup of an‘ actual $75,000 home in Chingua-‘ cousy Township which would," be in close proximity to the right-ofâ€"way. The display gra- phically illustrated that the: screening of 40 foot trees} around the house could not hide the towers which will be 120 and 180 feet in height and loâ€" cated in a right-of-way twice as wide as Highway 400. Richmond Hill Councillor Shaun Beggs charged that "the issue of Richmond Hill‘s in- volvement in the southern route is being befuddled by people who have met with this com- mission on several occasions and with whose stand Hydro is already familiar. I'm a bit concerned that they are using up our time." Lawyer James McCodrum. representing three conservation groups retorted that the Inquir- ies Act gave him the right to appear at all hearings and to cross-examine all witnesses. Dr. Solandt reported that Mr. Mc-i Codrum had made a great com press for 30 tribution to the work of thelnewdo‘m al'enfa' tending a public ithe old arena as part of liilettawa was in the business of commission by presenting very important point of view. a RICHMOND HILL.

In the first six months of this year in Toronto. vandalism in the schools alone amounted to $305,678. In York. during the past two years. there were 45 burglaries for $7.513, nine incidents. of mysterious disappearance for a total of 82.196: and 33 incidents of vandalism. amounting to 35.704. The second year showed 34 burglaries for 10.079: 57 cases of vandalism for 87.887; and 10 mysterious disappearances for 3799. There were no losses from fire during the school year. In addition to these costs. $31,400 worth of glass breakage was recorded as a maintenance cost. on the basis that the damage was accidental. However. some of the costs were the result of vandalism. the report said. > The 818,765 losses of the second year were uninsured losses the result of a 35.000 deductible being introduced September 28. 1971 as a condi- Q t. ._ ...llllnulllllllllllllmtllllllllllllli1111!tllllfltlllllllllllllllllllltllhlllllflllllliltlllllhlllllllllllmtu11111111111111111111llillll1illlllllllllllllllilllllll“11111111111111111111 tion of the board's property insurance. Besides insurance. the board's only other protection against vandalism and break-ins comes from the police. or concerned citizens. However. catching vandals in the act is almost next to impossible. John Kippen. superin- tendent of operations for the board. told “The Liberal". Because the vandals usually threw their stones and run. they are not an easy target and thus evade prosecution. Burglars. on the other hand. are often appreâ€" bended at the time. or in the area afterwards. or are tracked down by police at a later date. Prosecutions of this kind are numerous. Mr. Kippen said that none of the schools has a burglar alarm. because the cost is prohibitive. He said police patrol the areas as nitich as they can and coâ€"operate with the schools to the fullest. but were unable to maintain regular patrols. He said the greatest thefts were of tape recorders. mOvie projectors and electronic stereo equipment. Board offic1als also were reluctant to give too much publicity to the issue of \ andalism. because they felt this always encouraged additional out- breaks. : i * >3 a: See gue t editorial “Wanton Attacks Schools" on Page 2 of this issue.
