Even some of the older residents may be seen throughout this area exer- cising on “wheels”.

Another major way of strengthening local government decision making has been the introduction and passage of the 1974 Municipal Elections Am- endment Oct. This bill result- ed from a series of meetings with municipal officials, muni- cipal associations and with the Municipal Liaison Committee. For Your Convenience Richmond Hill Curling Club Over the ,past few years regional government has been used as a measure to develop a more orderly planning process or to share in financial and other resources for overall effective government. A good number of county councils throughout On- tario have seized the initiative in planning a restructuring of local government to meet the particular needs and challenges of their own areas. By WILLIAM HODGSON MLA York North When a resident of any muni- cipality complains to his alder- man or a council representative about the pot holes in the road opposite his house or the bad condition of the sidewalk on his street, he is in effect looking for immediate action or quick rem- edy to bring about an improve- ment in these local conditions. When a municipal council de- cides upon purchasing a new fire pumper or hiring some new planning staff. its decisions are positive responses to local needs. In this context. the Ontario government has consistently atâ€" tempted to strengthen local gov- ernment in as many ways as possible. Please contact Richmond Hill Curling Club P.O.

I was away until the middle of July, as stated in a June issue, and will also be on vacation the last two weeks of August, so any in- formation you wish to pub- lish during my absence, call Mary Dawson at 884-8177. to you From July 22 to August 15, the planning department has reserved Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am until noon and Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 pm for any ci- tizens who might wish to question or discuss these goals and objectives. It is unfortunate that theer has been so little pub- licity on the successes of the other teams throughout the season, so would the coaches or scorekeepers please get information to me or “The Liberal” office by 9 am Friday for the follow- ing week's issue. to their enthusiastic coach Ralph Sawyer of Weldrick Road. and to the many pa- rents and friends who have turned out regularly to all games and whose support and encouragement is greatly appreciated. There is to be a public meeting August 29 at 7:30 pm in the council chambers for Ward 6 (the South Rich- mond Hill area) from Vaug- han Road to Highway 7, bordered by .Bathurst and Yonge Street. Your representative on council, Lou Wainwright of Pemberton Crescent encour- ages your participation and expression of opinion in. these all important issues, so if not on holiday, please show your interest or con- cern. Congratulations to all the boys in our newly formed interlocking bantam soft- ball league, known as the Richvale Rose Trailers, who have been playing some ex- cellent ball this season, wiping out their opponents in Thornhill in three succes- sive games. Thanks are due Several administrative alter- ations were also made to the amended act. For example. un- der the present procedure. an assessment commissioner con- ducts an enumeration for the preparation of preliminary vot- ers' list from the Tuesday fol- lowing the first Monday in Sep- tember to the second Tuesday in October. The amended act would shorten that period so that the enumeration would end on Sep- tember 30. Under the revised act. the municipal clerk must assist the assessment commiss- ioner in verifying the accuracy of the preliminary voters' list by ensuring that people are on the list and that they are properly numbered and enumerated. The amended act also provides for the disqualification of all judges from voting in municipal elect- ions as requested by the judi- ciary. Two other chances for voters to get on the voters’ list for voting purposes and certain uniform standards to be follow- ed in the type of ballot used complete the other administra- tive improvements. I believe that the major changes in the revised act in- elude: Significant changes have re- sulted from these consultations and exchanges. ranging from procedures regarding the voters’ list, through the removal of cer- tain restrictions and ballot print- ing requirements in proxy vot- ing. to permitting use of voting machines in municipal elections. STOUFFVILLE: A private group is planning a recycling depot to start in September. The group has asked for space in the public works building but council is not prepared to grant this. “MORE PEOPLE SAY OUR PRICES ARE LOWEE WE GUARANTEE IT!” No Payments until October on our Deferred Credit Plan Every Bale Clearly TAGGED With It’s Quality Colour, Fibre and the Low PRICE You Pay. We custom cut from the bale you choose: Pro- vide expert installation and unconditionally guarantee the quality of workmanship for the lifetime of the carpet. NO MONEY DOWN Although you may not con- sider some of‘the more mecha- nical or administrative changes significant. they will enhance the opportunities for every per- son to vote in a municipal elec- tion and to improve the overall decision making of local coun- cils. The number of voters re- quired by a person interested in becoming a prospective can- didate remains at 10. Certain refinements have been made regarding the conditions and time under which a person be- comes a candidate for office. Qualifications for voting remain the same: Canadian citizenship or other British subject, resi- dency in the municipality and 18 years of age on or before polling day. Municipal councils may use voting machines so long as certain procedures are fol- lowed; Councils must hold one ad- vance poll on the Saturday. nine days before the polling day; in addition. local coun- cils may hold one or more advance polls to widen voter participation at the municipal level; Clarifying the procedures and conditions for conduct- ing municipal by-elections; Permitting (at the clerk's discretion) a polling place in nursing home or other institute of 20 beds or more in which resident patients are chronically ill or infirm. “The Liberal".
