RICHMOND HILL â€" A Richmond Hill youth was still in the intensive care unit of York Central Hospital this week after being badly burned in a fire at his home, about 1:05 am, Saturday. Vernon Ongai, 14, of 133 Palmer Ave, suffered burns, cuts and smoke inhalation in the fire. Four of the nine occupants of the house, which also serves as a foster home for boys, went to hospital for treatment. Kennedy said Izzard went into the house without a hose or water, after all but the boy had been evacuated. Izzard searched for the boy through the smoke and debris in the upper storey. The youth was unconscious when the firefighter finally came across him in the bathroom. Blame cigarette Smoking in bed is believed to have been the cause of the fire. Damage to the house was estimated at between $10,000 and $15,000. The fire marshall‘s office is in- vestigating. Cause of the fire, which took place in a storage area, is unknown. But the finance committee of town council hopes to lower that to 10 per cent, before presenting its recom- mendations to council, Feb. 28, Treasurer Bill Rice told The Liberal this week. Department estimates have now been completed for about 60 per cent of the budget, Rice said, and are proceeding to the final committee stage. RICHMOND HILL â€" At present the projected mill rate increase for Rich- mond Hill is hovering around 16 per cent. King Trustee Margaret Coburn said she had more people speaking against junior kindergartensrthan for them. Industrial blaze A fire at Fomould Plastics, 95 Newkirk Rd., Richmond Hill, Feb. 10, caused an estimated $5,000 damage. 7 “We mislead ourselves, too, if we set up a pilot project,” Mrs. Coburn said. Richmond Hill’s Robert Houghton, said he “found it hard to believe" they might open up four junior kin- dergartens and then not retain them if they were proved not to be beneficial. Richmond Hill Fire Department put out the blaze. This called for implementation of the program “where the demand exists and where there were benefits to be derived by children having English as a second language, Donald Cameron of Vaughan said the board should support the studies, so that it “can go back to the public with some intelligent answers." Question of benefit John Stephens, Markham, said if the kindergartens were beneficial, the cost was immaterial. The question, However: he felt there were “good ideas” in the third recommendation by Bob McMonagle of Thornhill. Initial estimates would have resulted in a 20 per cent increase for local 3 recommendations Chairman Cribar said the three recommendations had been suggested by Director Sam Chapman. They were not meant to be drawn out. inconclusive Schiller said the town was undergoing an Official Plan review. “We may come up with a rural residential policy of our own,” he said. Regional Councillor Lois Hancey, who steered the proposal through regional planning committee, pointed out the subject property supposedly lying in the Oak Ridges moraine ac- cording to the region’s map of the moraine property, does not coincide with the provincial map of the moraine. Region levies “We still hope to get it down to 10 per cent,” he said.

However, Rice added that council had no idea of what to expect from York Region or York County Board of Education as yet in the way of a tax levy. doing a study.’f William Laird of Georgina, suggested the matter be deferred until they had a chance to review the previous study and a followâ€"up report from the program committee. York Region Treasurer John Hlynski said the first draft of the region’s “How about referring it back to the chairman’s committee?” asked Cribar. This was decided at a meeting in- volving federal officials, Mayor Tony Roman of Markham, Mayor David Schiller of Richmond Hill and Murray Billinghurst of the Association of Involved Residents Feb. 2. Laird agreed and a motion to do so was passed. The proposal is aimed at reducing the nuisance of aircraft over Buttonville homes. Mayor Schiller expressed Julius and Lena Ryce of 76 Dunlap Street will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary Saturday. They were married at a small prairie church in a town Regional councillor Lou Wainwright also supported the proposal although he was a member of a citizen’s group opposed to the development. “I said before the election that if a motion passed Richmond Hill council and required regional council approval, _I would support it," Wainwright ex- budget would be in by Feb. 15 They were still at various stages, one of which was to see what the surplus from last year’s would be, so they could apply it to this year’s. However, this, along with such things as washing and “relamping” of street lights, could no longer be ignored, and would have to be considered this year. George Ford, superintendent of business for the school board, said they had just established the total budget and were now looking at the ex- penditures. Next step would be consideration of grants and requisitions, with the revenue portion coming in a week’s time. Among the general government areas, which will have increased budgets, are the following: protective services â€" fire, building inspector, animal control â€" 20 per cent; tran- sportation â€" 13 per cent; garbage and sewage â€"â€" 11 per cent; planning and related environmental services â€" 37 per cent; parks -â€" 23 per cent; recreation â€"- 47 per cent; library grant concern over the possible impact that would fall on residents of Richmond Hill as a result of the changed pattern: 1976 cuts felt Town Treasurer Rice said last year’s budget of council had been pared down, by reducing various levels of service, such as surface road treatment, which had been cut back slightly. â€" 17 per cent; grants â€" 16 per cent.

As yet, there had been no firm discussion on the matter. Rice said these were because Rich- vale, which opened in the fall, had a full budget. The budget also showed community centre costs were up 92 per cent. Wildwood in Lake Wilcox, was now budgetted for a full year. “Up to now, community centres were just a little room in an arena,” Rice said. RICHMOND HILL â€" How to over- come crowding at Ross Doan Public School in Richmond Hill, is still causing problems. At present, Roselawn handles Grade 6-8, with the other schools teaching kindergarten to Grade 5. That was the date set Monday night of last week at a meeting at Roselawn Senior Public School. The meeting was attended by parents, Area 3 superin- tendent Walter Willms, and the three Richmond Hill Trustees, Robert Houghton, Bill Monroe and Eric Baker. Eairlier parents voted to transfer Grade 4 and 5 students from Ross Doan to Roselawn Senior. Last week, parents were split in their feelings‘ Some wanted Roselawn abolished as south Richmond Hill’s only senior public school. Insteéd they would have a system of kindergarten to eight classes in all four schools in the area. Another group wanted to change school boundaries and send some Ross Doan pupils to Charles Howitt and 16th Avenue Public Schools in Thornhill. _ But York County board of education won’t have to face the matter until Feb. Staff, however, has declared that adding students from the two lower grades would upset specialist facilities. 7 The system 6f rotéting classes from room to room at the senior school would also suffer.
