He said closing area offices would mean being “one step closer to the bureaucratic mishmash people had to go through."

Mill Pond job to start soon Richmond Hill Fire Chief Robert Kennedy has issued a grateful and somewhat incredulous thanks to the people of the area for their “overwhelming response" to the fire department‘s recent plea for help for a bumedâ€"out family. The chief and his fnen asked hontributions for Mr. arid Mrs. Ronald Turner and their five boys, of Leslie Street, near Gormley Sideroad.

Work on the rehabilitation of the Mill Pond, Richmond Hill, is expected to commence sometime in May, according to an announcement made by Parks Director Dave Hamilton this week. - The work will involve construction of a clay berm at the north end of the pond to contain silt from the bottom of the pond. Metro Conservation Authority. in a joint venture with Richmond Hill, is expected to award the tender in the near future. he said. The silt will be deposited within the 'clavy berm to reclaim marshy lowland at the north end of the park and make it into usable parkland. Hamilton assured The Liberal no changes will occur to the stream inlet or to the marshy fowl area west of the stream. He also said the contractor expects to operate 12â€"hour shifts 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Friday for about 18 weeks. but that inconvenience to the public will be kept to a minimum. The end result should be a fresher pond stocked with fish. an improved sanctuary for Wildfowl, a return of the swans and more usable parkland. he said. $250,000 worth of repairs under study for Hill arenas Approximately four or five feet of silt is to be removed from thg pong py rpeans of a suction dxjedge.
