upheld by Newmarket council on Monday night when Reeve Ed ward questioned the mayors authority to refuse him permission to read the motion It concerned changes made in the assessment roll by the town clerk or under his authority Mr in rising to present his motion referred to a notice of motion on the same matter which he had left with the mayor at the last council meeting prior to its adjournment When it came time for the notice use Request For Payroll rt To Holland Landing A request by Office Specialty at the present time Chief Byron Manufacturing Ltd for police protection of its payroll to its Tolland Law plant was re fused by council on Monday night The Newmarket police will provide protection to the town limits DeputyReeve Violet sponsored the request for the firm She said it would be unfair to deny the request when Office Specialty was such a big contributor to the town The Newmarket police are quali fied give protection to pay rolls in any part of Ontario if the council authorize such action A large company like Office Specialty should protect its own payroll said Councillor Glad- alone It would he a dangerous precedent to provide this service outside town A lo cal Industrialist might open a branch in New and if we provided protection for the Office Specialty we would be obliged to protect the other com panys payroll The plant for which this pay Is destined is in Holland Landing- East bury receives taxes not New market I feel the proposal is entirely Improper commented the mayor Councillor Kent supported Mr Ridlers views saying that he didnt agree that Newmarket should send police out on the highway He recommended that either the Provincial or East police meet the Newmarket police at the town limits and escort the payroll for the balance of the trip Councillor dis agreed with this view He said the Office Specialty was an old established firm which paid sub stantial taxes to the town He recommended that council grant the request We provide

Receives Grant Of 30000 From County York County unani mously approved a grant for York County hospital when it met in Newmarket on June 6 The grant was made following a request for assistance from the hospital to meet an operating de ficit of The request was presented to council in February by Kenneth Stiver past chairman of the hos pital hoard No action was taken at that time pending a report from County Auditor J Deficit At last weeks meeting Mr reviewed the hospitals financial situation for county councillors He said a bank over draft existed in the maintenance account for and there was a deficit of in build ing account A cash deficit on operation in amounted to he ex plained This increased the exist ing hank overdraft to With the building of the ad dition to the hospital last year continued Mr the hos pital routine was upset The cap acity of the hospital was not in creased until January 1957 Pat ients had to ho moved from the old section into the new wing in order the two sections could be coordinated and the old sect ion renovated nurses had to be employed and various ad ditional expenses were necessary to operate a larger hospital but the revenue did not increase pro portionately Kxtra Staff As an example Mr said that a caretaker had been in charge of the healing system in the old hospital With the in stallation of the new boilers un der provincial regulations it be came necessary to employ three fulltime engineers This made a considerable increase in salaries Mr suggested that of last years operating deficit could he accounted for by such increased expenses This reduced the maintenance deficit to 13000 of which was due to indigent patients costs The rates have been increas ed continued Mr What we are trying to do now that the hospital has opened its new facilities is to see whether the revenue will be sufficient in to cover the overhead If it is not something should be done about it It is difficult to say whether a better job of operat ing the hospital could have been done in considering the dis ruption of the hospital because of the building program Assisted In Building Warden J Taylor Reeve of Richmond Hill outlined the fin ancial assistance being given York County hospital by the county Three years ago the county issued debentures for over a fiveyear period to assist the hos pital with its building campaign When this was done it meant one dollar per capita throughout the entire county he said Mr Taylor asked if it would help the situation at the hospital if the 1957 building grant of were made immediately in stead of in November Mr said it would the hospit al tats ha asd ing but would not pay off the owing the bank York County contributed per cent of the total capital ex penditure for the addition to York County hospital said Reeve Donald Deacon of township Municipal grants to hospitals for construction are us ually per cent Vital Service The hospital is a vital service to York County Many of the out standing
