ThornhiII Library Addition Is Without Bui More trouble has been encountered in providing additional temporary library spacein the Thornhill area of Markham Town . The temporary addition to the library at 10 Colbourne Street was installed about a month ago without a build- ing permit and this will de- lay 0ccupancy, “The Liber- al” has learned. Apparently the builder had a contract with the town but the contract was never sent to the building inspector and the builder didn't bother to find out if he needed a permit. ILLEGAL BUILDING When the building inspec- tion office became aware of the installation of the tem-l porary building in conjunc-I tion with the former resi- dence that has long served Iding Permit as a library, the new struc- ture was found to be illegal in certain respects. Library Board Chairman Dr. David Ives says there isn't expected to be much delay, since the shelves for the new addition have only just arrived anyway. The addition is expected to be open in a couple of weeks, he says. CLOSING THREATENED It was only when the community became alarmed late last year that the addi- tion was provided by the town council. At that time the library board threatened to close the library because of extreme space limitations. Thornhill has been wait- ing several years for a new library approved in princi- pal by the former Markham Township council.
