About 27,000 persons live in the Thornhill area and are represented by only two ward seats in Wards land 2. The balance of the Town of Markham. about 22,000 people. are represented by four wards. “Certainly the adages ‘Representation By Population' and ‘the persons who pay the taxes call the tune' are not alive and well and living in Markham, says Foster.

Three court-martiaieo soldiers. hungry for revenge, plot to steal the $600,000 cash portion of an army payroll. Soon pitted against them are several corrupt officers whose private plans for ac- cumulating profit collide Inspiring account of Canada’s pioneer women doctors THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, CORRESPONDENT: DAVE BARBOUR TALK “Council talks about unifying the town and ex- tending co-operation bet- ween Thornhill, Unionville and Markham, then ignores one third of the residents of Thornhill". Represen- tatives from Unionville and Markham have been apâ€" pointed to the Thornhill Complex Board. but not from Ward 2. In this case Council‘s political voice outshouts its usual sense of fair play" he says. Foster thinks the entire board should be made up from residents of Thornhill, and those persons chosen should be representative of the community groups who will use the facility. “Certainly, 'I‘hornhill’s new figure skating club should have a place on the board; council‘chose to ignore them. We should remember that their initial membership drive resulted in ap- proximately 400 members, a phenomenal response for a new organization". Skulduggery “There appears to be some political skulduggery here”. Mayor Anthony Roman chose to write each councillor to have them reassess their decision and appoint one member each, from Ward 2 and the skating club. Council did not act on the logic of the mayor‘s letter. “So far as I’m concerned the majority of council says, no dice - we know what‘s best for Thornhill ’ ’.
