Unwanted traffic Remembrance Day me a week earlier his campaign kick off was held amidst a gathering at ARC Industries and he had submitted several news It is unfortunate the ignorant powers that be have neither the sense nor emotional ability to close off the highway for 30 minutes while prayers are being offered in remembrance of I thoroughly read the issue of November 6. and I was shocked. Not once did I see the name of David Schiller mentioned and he is a contestant for the mayor's office, running against the incumbent mayor. On the other hand, there was almost a full column devoted to the incumbent mayor's private, social and political responsibilities. Unable to believe my eyes, I phoned Mr. Schiller. He told \ The Liberal's coverage of the current contest for the mayor’s office makes me feel both sad over the monopoly power of our single local newspaper in our community and at the same time makes me laugh at the blatant one-sidedness of your news coverage. As a local resident who attended the service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill Sunday, I must deplore the sacrilegious way in which highway traffic was allowed to drive right through the congregation gathered there.

When I, and others, glared at the policeman controlling traffic, he shrugged his shoulders as if to say, “I’m only carrying out orders”. Later I was led to un- derstand that under the York Regional Act, only the provincial government has authority to close’off a main thoroughfare. A local newspaper, such as The Liberal, has a moral responsibility to report the news to its readers. It can say what it likes in its editorials but it does not fulfill a newspaper’s responsibilities if it does not report the news. How can we, as citizens of Richmond Hill, decide who should be our next mayor, if news of loved ones who died in war To see a TTC bus pull up before me whilst in the middle of the Lord’s Prayer, and to hear a motorcyclist revving up full blast in competition with the sounding of the Last Post, is to me, profanity at its worst. On November 1 I asked you why the incumbent mayor had declined to appear with Mr. Schiller on three local television programs when both were to answer questions put to them v by journalists, ratepayers and other citizens groups. As it turned out, Mr. Schiller faced these groups alone. What is more, you declined to print my letter which would have given you a full opportunity to answer. releases to your newspaper. To my knowledge. these were not reported py you: Postal Code 6 Stancroft Drive, Richmond Hill (It is unfortunate reader Lounsbury was disap« pointed last week when his first letter failed to appear. It arrived at The Liberal too late to be included with the regular letters on the Editorial Page that week. But it appears this week in that space on Page 4. Editor) Tutal disgust over traffic Not one word of the prayers or the addresses of Mayor Lazenby, Judge Butler and other dignitaries could be heard by those standing on the east side of Yonge. not to mention having to inhale exhaust fumes while the cars and buses passed by. I am sure when the Santa Claus parade comes to town, portions of Yonge Street will be closed off entirely. Lest we forget! I have never been so ut- terly disgusted during my residence in Richmond Hill as I was at Sunday‘s Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph on Yonge Street. For almost the entire 45 minutes of the service, cars were permitted to pass by. going north. Surely, for a solemn and meaningful occasion like Remembrance Day. the cars could have been re-routed at Markham Road. as they have been in past year. Many ‘ others standing nearby were also vocal in their disgust. Dear Mr. Editor Mr. Schiller‘s campaign is not made available to us while news of the incumbent mayor’s refusal to cam- paign is reported to us at great length? Please help the citizens of Richmond Hill to make a decision about the two candidates for the mayor's office by reporting fairly to your readers. Otherwise you will be able to count upon the cancellation of my subâ€" scription to your newspaper along with, I would expect, those of many hundreds of others.

He first pointed out the height of buildings was of concern, since some will rise to a height of 115 feet and the top of the ob servatory hill is only 90 feet high. In addition the buildings rise another 20 to 30 feet with the same height of landscaping trees. The result of this could be the light from the windows of the apartment building could light up the interior of the domes, he said. “par- ticularly since 60 percent of our work is done to the west and southwest.

By Mary Dawson The David Dunlap Observatory is nowhere near obsolescent. Dr. Tom Bolton told Richmond Hill Council Monday of last week as he renewed his fight against light pollution in the neighborhood of this land- mark.

The culmination of the three-week coverage of Cable 10’s “Municipal Election Night ‘74“ broadcast is scheduled for December 2. The series is aimed at keeping residents up to date on the issues, the candidates and the cam~ paign. Mayor William Lazenby asked if it would be of any help if special glass was used in the windows to screen the light. ' Longdelay Planning Director Hessie Rimon said he had “the unpleasant obligation of representing the families who will be living in these apartments and I have tried to establish a living en- vironment for the people living on and around the site. It is now 3'2 years since the bylaw was passed." Dr. Bolton said he was pleased to see virtually all One solution for the light problem he suggested was to lower the height to the 80 feet recommended in the south Corridor. then most of the light could be screened out by landscaping trees. An alternative would be to realign the buildings so they would not face the obâ€" servatory. He was assured there will be no exhaust fans on the roof. Exhaust fans Concern about major exhaust fans on the roof was also expressed. Dr. Bolton said many high rise buildings have large fans on the roof which eject forced hot air above buildings. “We would be opposed to any major fans which could break up the atmosphere above the buildings and hamper our observations. That would be even more of a problem than the height." have gone to bed by 11 pm. More particularly three.of the buildings are facmg almost exactly on to the observatory".

Rich- mond Hill, 884-8111, 889-9874 or 887-5075. “The observatory is reallyfighting a delaying action since it is affected by lights as far away as Maple, Markham and Thornhill and probably by the lights on the new CNR tower in Toronto.“ The mayor suggested the developers and the ob- servatory get together and come up with a satisfactory solution. He also suggested Dr. Bolton confer with the town ,staff in drawing up specific lighting standards to be met by future developers in the municipality. Regional Councillor Gord Rowe said he can see every year how the amount of light around the ob- servatory is increasing. Light control “We ' have programs underway in Richmond Hill. with the Ministry of Transport and in neigh- boring municipalities," Dr. Bolton reported. “We don't expect to gain back anything we have lost but we hope to control lighting sufficiently to enable us to make effective use of the observatory for the foreseeable useful life of the 74 inch telescope which will be about 50 years. We don't expect to deter developâ€" ment. but to control the light." John Birchall expressed the concern of the Ward 3 Ratepayers on the effects of this development on the observatory, on the height of the buildings. on the effect parking is underground and suggested substantial trees be planted right away to block out ground level light.

He also quoted the South Yonge Corridor Study which recommends a maximum height of 80 feet and a set- back of 200 feet. But he was reminded the study recommendations had not yet been adopted by council and could not be made retroactive to apply to this development which had been approved by a bylaw passed 312 years ago. Rimon said the site could be covered 80 percent by fiveâ€"storey walkups. but that would be an inferior living cnvironment. “If we reduced the height of the buildings to eight stories, it would mean adding two more buildings. I suggest this is a superior plan.” Concerned citizens Birchail said the situation affected his group as con- cerned citizens. “We're concerned about what happens to the whole town.
