Children's Aid Society Proposed Cuts To Be Appealed "If we have to go into de- ficit financing. we will." said Mr. Lazenby. who is chair- man of York Region's health a nd social services com- mittee. He said there wouldn't be am' staff cuts. but that an employee who had recently left, would not be replaced. H. H. Dymond. executive director of the Ontario Asso-‘ ciation of Children‘s Aid Societies. said the increases allowed by the government didn‘t allow for inflation or the extra cost resulting from changing trends in child care. “Because of the lack of money we are not going to be able to provide the ser- vices needed. and the kids will suffer." Mr. Dymond said. Mayor Lazenby said the region had budgetted for $924,340, including the gov- ernment’s portion, but had been knocked down to about $840,000. This meant it was only up slightly from last year‘s “There’s no way we’ll cut our payments to the institutions or the homes,” Mayor William Lazenby said last week when asked to comment on the provincial government’s 10 percent cut on budgets being presented by individual associa- tions of the Children’s Aid Society.

It has provided an additional 1,500 jobs in this area and a large percentage of them have been filled by local people. There are more than 100 shops at Hillcrest Mall, which. with its high vaulted ceilings. natural lighting and profusion of plants and trees. both indoors and out. offers a pleasing environment for shopping enjoyment.

In his remarks at the of- ficial opening, Mr. Diamond will thank Mayor Lazenby. his council and municipal officers for their wholeheart- ed co-operation in bringing Hillcrest Mall to the com- munity. FOCAL POINT Because the Mall's devel- opers believe that Hillcrest How Your Tax Will Be Spent Have you wondered how your local tax dollars are spent? Since, in many cases, the tax bill goes directly to the mortgage company and the person paying the taxes 'will not see this explanation, we are publishing it here for their information. 'A comprehensive explana- tion accompanies this year’s final tax statement issued by the Richmond Hill Town Council. Hillcrest Mall â€"â€" “a people place” â€" at Carrville Road and Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, will be officially opened Thursday morning by Mayor William Lazenby and A. E. Diamond, chairman and chief executive officer, The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited. In 1974 13.7c of each tax dollar in Richmond Hill goes to the Region of York, 20.7c goes to the board of educa- tion for secondary schools. This leaves 39.7c to be spent for town services. This amount is divided: administration 4.6c, fire protection 5c, other protec- tion 1.5c. transportation (roads) 11.1c, transit ._8c, en- vironmental health 6.2c, public health and welfare .4c. environmental develop- ment 1.4c. parks and recre- ation 5c. library 3.7c. The realty and business taxes imposed for municipal and education purposes amount to $7,014,008 or 44.92% of the total outlay. The Province of Ontario’s contributions applied to re-‘ duce the taxes for these purposes are $6,953,903 (99c for every dollar of realty and business taxes) or 44.53%. Added to this is revenue from other sources of $1,647,988 or 10.55%, to make a grand total of $15.- l615.899. In addition, Onta- rio will contribute another $230,000 towards the cost of capital projects. Richmond Hill issued an interim tax bill for 12 mills in February of this year. payable in two instalments to provide working funds and cut to a minimum the borrowing of money at high interest rates. The final tax bill could not be established until the regional and board of education levies were made known. Aurora, and the Township of King, with a total population of 74.735.

Commenting on the commis- sion's decision. Richmond Hill Councillor Lois Hancey wonder- ed it it wasn't presumptuous of Council to say it disagreed with the commission's reasons for the changes in boundaries. activity and a centre for social interaction, Mr. Diam- ond notes that the 250-seat auditorium, complete with kitchen and stage. will be available for community ac- tivities as will the Mall’s public spaces. FASHION-ORIENTED Hillcrest Mall will be fashion-oriented with a per- manent fashion co-ordinator, Anabel Stancer. Stores in the Mall will have the wid- est selection of clothing for men, women and young peo- ple of all ages in the Toronto area with three major de- partment stores â€"- K-Mart, Simpson's and Sears and numerous more specialized shops. Fashion shows in the 250- seat auditorium will keep the shoppers in this area up to date from season to sea- son. The first show from August 27 to 29 will be a back-toâ€"school special for all ages from kindergarten t0} university. It will be called “One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" and will be presented twice daily. A major fall fashion show, ‘with dates to be announced llater, will be sponsored by the York Central Hospital Auxiliary. Other groups. who may wish to sponsor forthcoming fashion shows will be most welcome, we are told. Hillcrest Mall will offer an outstanding range of merch- andise with a blend of na- tional and local merchants including Simpson's, Simp- sons-Sears. Kâ€"Mart and Lob- laws. This is the first time that Simpson's and Simp- sonsâ€"Sears are located in the same shopping centre. EMPHASIS 0N QUALITY Richmond Hill residents have been shopping at Simp- sons for more than a cen- tury, since Robert Simpson opened his first store in} downtown Toronto in 1872.‘ In those days a shopping trip probably consumed all day â€" but the Richmond Hill resident of 1974 is only a few minutes away from Simpsons, with all its regu- lar merchandise and service departments. Simpsons will be emphasizing quality mer- chandise in every area â€" fashions for all members of the family. furniture, home furnishings, appliances, res- taurant, optical and hearing aid departments.
