Property appraiser John Higgins explained the discounts he had put on each of three sections of the property including $40000 for the channelization of the creek. He still had a price of $149000 for the property. Vaughan councillors Monday spent an hour arguing over whether they should accept the offer of $115,000 for two acres of swamp land at the corner of Jane Street and Doughton Road. The owners of the Paradise Banquet Hall would like the property to add to its parking lot bul council had John Maletich from the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority on hand to explain that part of the property lying on both sides of Black Creek might be developable. Bul council in committee rejected both going to public lender and the Paradise offer. "It's alligatVor land.” said (‘ouncillor Ab Hollingshead. Councillor Jan Foot suggested the property be put up for public lender. “There is an offer of $115,000 without the public knowing it is available" Richmond Hill Recycling Depot.
