We have been trying for approximately one and a half years to expand our present facilities to ac- commodate the volume of business we are capable of doing. We had been in search of a historic building for some time prior to finding our present office space with much concentration In March of this year a decision was made to acquire a house at 10.039 Yonge Street for the relocation of our offices. I am sure I am only one of many frustrated businessmen trying to do business and grow in our illustrious Town of Rich- mond Hill.

To maintain this productive state, a marsh must undergo dry periods, which aerate the bottom mud and allow nutrients to be released. A marsh can be revitalized after prolonged flooding by lowering water levels sufficiently to expose the mud. Periodically these "drawdowns" will have to be repeated in order to maintain this nowâ€" productive marsh. waler lavel doane hdll HAS A SERVICE ESPECIALLY FOR YOU FOLLOWING BREAST SURGERY â€" TRAINED.

This is great â€" you can‘t make mistakes if you don’t do anything and apparently that is your objective. In the approximate three years you have been Mayor, in my opinion. you have done nothing â€" stop growth, stop development and made no important decision whatsoever. There seems to have been much talk about the preservation of historic properties in Richmond Hill especially the Presbyterian Manse immediately across the There will be 26 fewer people drawing payroll in the Town of Richmond Hill and that much less money that you and your fellow councillors will have to spend; which you publish of your paper struck a responsive chord. and it appears to have a stronger community identification with Centennial properties. M L'CH TALK I, too. have been at The last paragraph in the article should have read “each radio con- trolled boat is worth up to $500." Maybe if one’s time to build could be expressed in dollars, then maybe a boat could exceed $500. Weather permitting we hope to get a few more days in before the in- clement weather forces us to our basements to build for next year. We have applied for and received an extension to our permit to use the Mill Pond on the weekends. I would say, based upon my experience with your newspaper and with the complete lack of interest of town officials, that Richmond Hill has selfish interests only in the preservation of historic buildings. Thank you for your writeup in The Liberal, September 28, re: Power Mode] Boats on the Mill Pond. It appears that only when a structure is CC.

This I don’t think is possible because you spend all your energy and time conning people who don’t care, into voting for you.

It’s the fun of using threatened with demolition that the municipal officials and the towns people gather to complain of the loss of its heritage. We are immensely proud of our im- provements assisted by Napier Simpson, Jr. as architect and Campbell Snider as general con- tractor. I feel. too, that the separate editions of the paper encourage people to have a parochial outlook instead of being concerned about matters outside their own par- ticular area. As Information Officer with The York County Board of Education I keep an extensive file of newspaper clippings to which trustees and others refer from time to time. It is disconcerting to find that I do not have a clipping from your paper because it appeared in an edition which I do not receive. This is particularly true of material about the new Thornhill-Vaughan plan. Most residents of Rich- mond Hill will have to travel through parts of Vaughan to get to work each day and proposed road patterns in the area are certainly of interest to them. As a resident of the Town of Vaughan I also feel that information about the town and about Thornhill would be of interest to residents of Richmond Hill. the Thornhill edition SPECIALS EFFECTIVE 'LTILS SATURDAY OCT. 8177 Thank you once again for the write-up.

CRUSELED QR CHAPMAN'S ASSORTED FLAVOURS The "before" and “after” photographs. which we so carefully kept a record, are self evident and I believe from the heads that turn from passing traffic, that many people feel that the streetscape of Yonge Street in Richmond Hill has been improved. THORNHILL INTEREST We have carried out, in our opinion, what we think is the preservation of one of the older residences of Richmond Hill and it has added to the beauty and flavour of Yonge Street. We feel that we have had much greater in- terest from Thornhill residents than those in Richmond Hill in our recycling of this 1860 vintage residence. When we first saw 10,039 Yonge Street this past winter. we noted that the other interested purchasers were largely interested in the building's demolition and the creation of a modern commercial building. There is nothing wrong with modern buildings, of course, but the retention of the existing facility with modifications for current use can make for an extremely pleasant, comfortable and viable office operation. I believe if we had decided to demolish the house and build a new building to the maximum limits of the Zoning Bylaw. that we would have certainly stirred up some controversy. Private preservation projects carried out without public assistance whatsoever seem to be taken for granted. MORE AWARE We think it’s time to become more aware of our heritage and in order to achieve this, it must be placed in front of our community in as many ways as possible so that they may come to ap- preciate the remaining few properties which add to the community‘s beauty and give us a sense of history and permanence. It is very important to convince parties in- terested in retaining historic buildings that a successful project is based on the group’s concern for the com- munity as a whole and that private interests and particular individual conflicts must be set aside. 1 V2 LB.

The economic as well as the aesthetic and cultural justification for historic preservation is growing stronger with the demolition of interesting old buildings. We have shared our joy and the beauty of our renovated building with the residents of Rich- mond Hill and would like very much more to make them aware what can be done and how it fits in with the community. SEEK DETAILS One thing that enhances an old building to both the owners and community is to know more about its past, its owners, its residents and its place in the community in time long past. ECONOMICS The credit side of historic conservation is very real. Consider just one very practical economic fact favouring the retention of heritage buildings. Heritage preservation significantly influences the attraction of tourist dollars and the spin-off benefits to a community can be effectively shown. I have been in touch with the newspaper editors and various reporters over the past three to four months with very little. but promises. The unaware. the passive, the unconvinced and the opposed members of the community must be made aware of our history and the need for conservation of such buildings where prac- tical. What better place to carry out such a project, but through a community newspaper such as yourselves. In our case the preservation project was carried out by a business interested in relocating in an historic buildiing however modest. The remodelling or recycling of old houses within commercial areas can be carried out without destroying their character and they can become very useful ad- ditions to the building stock in a community.
