Mayor Schiller advises York Regional Council should decide what roads get Constructed on the basis of need, not on the basis of what subsidies they will get, Richmond Hill Mayor Dave Schiller told a meeting of regional council last week. “I believe it would be advantageous to the municipality since I would control the quality of housing erected there through agreement." Unsuitable He claimed he had been told that the land was not suitable for farming at the present time. The mayor made his remarks following a report of the engineering com- mittee. Among its recom- mendations was one calling for grading, gravelling and paving of King Road from John Street in King City to Highway 400, plus south and north on Jane Street for 1,400 and 1,500 feet, respectively. The existing road would be reconstructed to a basic four-lane roadway, and Jane (Continued from Page 1) problems", he said. “Fifty acres may not be a viable farm at the present time," said Mayor David Schiller, “but in the future it may well be and in a few decades such small acreages may be a major factor in food production. McCartney contended it was not speculation in this case since the property has been held since 1967. Asked what its intended use at that time had been, he answered that it might have been as a site for his own dwelling, but he had since built on another property he owned on 18th Avenue. ‘_‘1 like to live in the country." “Our municipal policy should not be making sure that everyone who has bought farmland on speculation is going to make a profit,” he cautioned. Councillor John Birchall pointed out that the planning staff has been asked to do a study on housing as a component part of the of- ficial plan and since that study is not completed he felt the application should not be received. it being premature at this time.

Councillor Gordon Rowe of Richmond Hill, chairman of the engineering committee, said it was a much used road and a dangerous one, and should be completed. Also, it would be “false economy" on the part of the region not to, as there would be a saving of $185,300 on the $2,000,000 cost. Mayor Margaret Britnell of King felt council shouldn’t approve it at present when it hadn‘t accepted any budget estimates. “I am concerned about disappearing farmland, but the only way I can see to preserve it is to go out and buy it. Financially this type of development is an ad- vantage to the municipality." “I want to give the town staff and the people of the community time to develop our official plan,” added Mayor Schiller. “This ap- plication may well fall within the provisions of our new official plan." Planning Director Hessie Rimon agreed that the proposal is premature and reported that staff has been looking into that area generally for rural residential development. “We will be setting out areas where it will be ac- ceptable. This form of development, once approval is given, doesn’t happen quickly.” ”I hope if this parcel of land proves suitable Mr. McCartney will renew his application," said Chairman Marylo Graham in con- clusion. Added the mayor: “We are not rejecting the idea but the timing."

But if Mayor Gladys Rolling of East Gwillimbury said she didn’t know whether the work needed to be done or not, but she was willing to accept the recommendation and do it. They might be “pound foolish” otherwise. accepting the whole engineering budget, I can’t approve it," Mayor Britnell said. Said Councillor Ray Twinney of Newmarket: “We‘re taking this from the needs study as something that needs to be done, so I would move the question." The road is “essiential for the safety of the motoring public," he said. Councillor Erik Larsen of Georgina Township, agreed. He had supported it for that reason. Also, if they waited until next year to do the work, “it would probably be 12 to 15 percent higher,” The people of Richmond Hill responded generously to the appeal for help for the Ronald Turner family of Gormley who lost everything but the clothes they were wearing when fire destroyed their home April 17. Ap- preciation for this generosity is expressed by the com- mittee in charge. A trust fund has been set up for the family of- mother,father and five sons at the Bank of Nova Scotia and cash donations may be made there.

We have to keep the program on, or we are just going to get in deeper and deeper.” The time to object was when it was first started, he said. there weren’t priorities, ”don’t try to dump projects Chairman Garfield Wright said the road was “con- sidered a priority this year. We may not get it next year.” “Nobody knew about it,” said Mayor Britnell. “You knew about it from day one,” answered the chairman. “Did not," said the mayor.
