This very active group, consisting of a scout troup meeting on Tuesdays and three cub packs meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at Royal Orchard School, helped raise funds for their activities by canvassing door-to-door in the Royal Orchard area and shopping plaza. The boys all came with decorated baskets and prizes were awarded. Dean Hamil- ton won for Mysa. Mark Feeney was the Rann winner and Arno Stemitsky won for Sahi. Scout Brent Ashley won the over-all prize. The 7th Thornhill boys groups have a great group of experienced leaders this fall.

Hills Markham Town Tax Increase Thornhill Ratepayer Concern Markham Town includes the Thornhill postal area north of Steeles Avenue and east of Yonge Street. “We want our Markham Town taxes turned down, rather than up. And if there is to be growth, let it be such' that it is aesthetically pleas- ing to our values. Let it pay its own way and even make a contribution to lowering the taxation for the entire Town of Markham," said Patrick. USE IMAGINATION ‘ “We are asking the politi- cians and officials of our town to take the iniative and use their imagination to pro- vide us with a community which accentuates the quality of life we the residents want. within the framework of a well-managed budget which emphasizes the holding of the line on any increase in prop- erty taxes," said Patrick as he introduced a discussion on taxation.

This'increase was attributable to the pro- vincial assessment scheme which used a so-called 1970 market price on property as a base. We were also con- cerned with the imbalance of assessment ‘between residen- tial, commercial and indus- rial property."
