The town would match this amount. If it héd, there was more than 80 fire fighters on hand to battle it.

The fire departments in York Region take turns hosting the monthly meetings of the Mutual Aid Association. The agreement in York Region is written, but the same sort of agreement exists in other areas, only verbally. For instance, Markham Fire Department has had to call on North York or Scarborough Fire Departments and they have called on Markham in return. Sometimes it means lending some specific equipment to another department, such as self contained breathing apparatus (Scot masks) or additional hose. agreement The assistance from the neighboring departments can take many forms. It can be in men and equipment or it can simply be supplying additional manpower. 1 LB.

That’s as far as his responsibility goes, he said. 'I‘wo weeks ago, the builder â€" Giovanni Tomasoni, answered a request by the town to appear before its engineering committee to explain his side of the story. Shortly afterwards, they learned the footings weren‘t constructed properly and were causing water seepage and cracks to the basement walls.

DATED at the Town of Richmond Hill this 20th day of September, 1978. CD. Weldon, Clerk, Town of Richmond Hill. TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Richmond Hill intends to designate the property, including lands and buildings, at the following municipal addresses as properties of architectural and/or historical value or interest under Part IV of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, 8.0. Chapter 122. 3) 38 Bedford Park Avenue The reason for the designation of this property, known as Crosby Hall, is that its crowning cupola and overall scale make it unique among the other styles of building within the Town. Historically it is significant as it was built for Parker Crosby who had established himself in the mercantile business of the community after erecting the Fireproof Store in 1855. |n.the interior, the house has a nicely proportioned curved staircase. b) 107 Hall Street The reason for designation is that the house, known as Holmood, expresses well the Loyalist vernacular style of domestic architecture. The Georgian propor. tions, the rectangular central hall plan with window openings evenly spaced along the facade, give it a pleasing sense of balance and proportion. Of local historical significance is the fact that it was used by consecutive doctors within the Langstaff family as an office/residence and, at one time,hospita| over a period of 105 years. c) 528 Carrville Road The reason for designation of this cottage is that it is one of the earliest and historically interesting houses remaining in Richmond Hill. In particular the front part is of stucco on plankon-plank construction and it was built by Rowland Burr, who lived there for about a decade and a half. Rowland Burr later built many residences and several mills in the Toronto area. d) 750 Carrville Road The reason for designation of this building is that it is one of the few built in Richmond Hill of vertical plank construction. Historically it was built and served for a number of years as a meeting place for the Canadian Conference on Evangelical Associations in North America. Later it was converted to a residence. Note: Due to road widening this building will be relocated on a siteadioining the house built by Rowland Burr.

She doesn't s'eé why she and her husband, Ron, After the meeting Mr. Taylor told The Liberal he felt Mr. Tomasoni and the town were “shirking their moral respon- sibility“ in the matter He said he had given up hope of receiving com- pensation from the builder and now his major concern is that more “unsuspecting people" in the municipality will be subjected to building standards such as these in the future. 884-1812 Phone 889-1812 For ALL Occasions Rice's Flowers /‘Wn ourruunuuuj I: ‘5’ Districts ALL MAmm HEUH _..’ CARDS Hm )M m w Brooklin Concrete, first in quality, steel- reinforced precast concrete septic tanks Our tanks are designed to meet the Ontario Ministry of the Environment Regulation 229/74.
