N0 LOCAL BENEFIT “It's not our function to be (more) concerned about problems of the greater Met- ro area. It (the expansion) isn’t much more harmful. but is of no benefit to the municipality," said Kay. As directed by his council, Richmond Hill Planning Di- rector Hesse Rimon attend- ed -the Markham meeting 'I'I'IE lIBERAI. This weekly visitor gets a warm “Home Paper of the District Since 1878” in an expanded facility for the (airport) owners and a portion of its users . . . and a greater noise exposure to a portion of the town’s resi- dents. WOULD Hl'l‘ RESIDENTS “Buttonville Airport ap- pears to be a very viable operation at the present time and shouldn’t be ad- versely affected by denial of this application. Approval, however, will adversely af- fect those residents of the town (within the influence of the airport) . .. and wouldn‘t appear to provide and direct benefit to the town. "Furthermore, there isn't any way to determine the impact of any expansion be- yond 1980," said the Mark- ham planning staff report. The report dealt with the experience of residents as follows: “The most difficult con- siderations in this review is “After all reports have been received, Markham’s decision, in our opinion, basically is to decide whe- ther this airport should be expanded to permit more twin-engined aircraft move- ments. To do so will result Markham planning staff at the meeting submitted a fi- nal report withLa conclusion as follows: and presented the Richmond Hill resolution opposing the rezoning but asking for ne- gotiations on airport con- trols if Markham decided to approve. Richmond Hill Mayor Laz- enby and several councillors also attended to support the planning director. Richmond Hill. A resident of Richmond Hill Mr. Foss was MC for the event. The hospital is endeavoring to raise $1 million towards completion of the new addi- tion which will bring the hospital’s total capacity to 403 beds. “According to consultants the northwest impact over Richmond Hill to 1980 will be substantial if the run- away extension is granted. In‘ addition, the residents of Arnleigh Heights will be subjected to more ‘discom- fort’ as the noise cones for 1980 extend into this subdiu vision if the extension is apâ€" proved. “Until 1980 the northwest impact towards Cachet won’t change if control is exer- cised over the number of take-offs in this direction. Contrary to original antici- pations the proposed runway extension, however, won’t benefit Cachet either." lows COULD HAVE JETS “Toronto Airways doesn’t permit jet planes to use its airport at the present time. The Department of Transport won‘t prohibit jets as such from using Buttonville Air- port. Rather, performance and whether it can safely (legally) land and take off will determine whether a plane can legally use this airport. The question of jet air- craft was dealt with as fol- Extra Bell Tax Will Be Shared UNFAVORABLE RESPONSE “Increasing the number of planes which generate high noise levels mus-t be given serious consideration since these are the types which will generate unfavorable public response. “Toronto Airways has in- dicated it isn’t prepared to ban jets in the future. Rec- ognizing changing technol- ogy, this is probably practi- cal from their point of view,” said the town’s planning staff report on Buttonville Airport The extra $86,666.34 in taxes to be received this year by the Town of Rich- mond Hill from Bell Canada will be shared by the Region of York and the York Coun- ty Board of Education, Town Treasurer William Rice in- formed council at its mee- ting September 24. The budgetted 1973 reve- nue for town purposes was $18,000 but its share of the total Bell taxes of $116,344.- 95 will be $40,150.64. The Region will get $17,195.78. the Board of Education will get $30,901.22 for public schools and $28,097.31 for high school.

He was cap- tured following their defeat and was hanged for his part in the rebellion. A feature of the ceremony was a march by descendants of the Lloydtown rebels who followed Lount.

A new treatment plant with a special new process had -to be Built. There was also a major break last year in a large water main. NEW WELLS WORKING No Water Crisis This Year In Thornhill This year the new Leslie Street well was pumping at maximum capacity 800,000 gallonsPa-day higher than was possible through old treatment facilities. The new well had caused water qua- lity problems and was cut out entirely for a time two years ago. Also this year a new well at Stleeles and Pharmacy Avenues went on stream and the old Don Mills well and pumping station was impro- ved to increase water pro- duction. Next year new well number eight at Leslie Street will go into operation, adding more water to the Thornhill area supply. “But one never knows,” the Markham mayor told “The Liberal”. “We are ta- king the logical steps to know where to put a well ‘if we can‘t make a satisfac- tory agreement with Metro." METRO RESERVOIRS Roman noted the demand for water in- Metro this year was very high and Metro did have some lawn wate- ring restrictions. although no taps went dry. At the same time another factor is that Metro is getting major new reservoirs on» Dufferin Street and Bayview Avenue sites in the York Regional municipalities of Markham and Vaughan. So Metro will soon have surplus water ca- pacity. 7 Roman says the Leslie Street well would have been in operation this year and would have reduced the re- liance placed on Metro wa- ter if some more of thme‘ unforsseen snags hadn't tur- ned up. The Leslie Street well has been slow getting into production becaus'e' there was difficulty in an ranging the necessary acce ; rights of way. These are e; l pected to be cleared up n time for the well to be op ‘- rating next year. N‘EED REGION APPROVAL The only water problem Markham encountered this year was in the Unionville area. Their well number two was rated a little too high, says the mayor. This year when the well was put up to full use it was found a little too much water see- med to be being drawn. Or at least this was blamed for water levels falling in pri- vate wells in the Pomand'er Road area, although there could be other factors in- volved.
