mer county properties and this should be used in my- opinion to provide a building which will serve the county for years to come i can well imagine why everyone would like a fancier building said mr deacon but i feel we can get along with what we have we should use that money for such necessities as road improvements there is a definite need for extra office space replied war den w j taylor reeve of rich mond hill the administrative staff is cramped for room we must increase our staff soon the childrens aid society and the juvenile and family rela tions court are happy to locate in this building we would not have that expense of 4000 a year for rent the property committee has done an excellent job com mented finance chairman fred armstrong reeve of wood- bridge this matter has been ters of the childrens- aid so ciety and the juvenile and fam ily relations court that would be saved when these county agencies move into the present county administration building which was donated to york county by miss mabel davis the need for more adequate council chambers and addltfonal office space was first presented to council in 1955 by the retir ing warden of 1955 jack rye of east gwillimbury it was rec ommended that the present council chambers be enlarged a similar report was made by warden ralph corner in 1955 the following year warden marshall mcmurchy recom mended a new administration building with the present one being used for other county pur poses the property committee re ported to the june 1956 session of county council that it would be unwise to enlarge the pres ent building a fact finding com mittee was named to determine the accommodation require ments to be provided in a new discussed for several years it building the property commit- j is high time

the experts are trying to find out how weather conditions cause insects to be deposited on crops and affect their numbers about providing the county with necessary additional space i move the report be adopted in its entirety i am not the oldest member of council said reeve john per ry of vaughan township in ris ing to oppose the calling for a vote on the question at that time i cant understand how so many members of council have forgotten the value of the dollar i agree with mr armstrong that the property committee has done a good job he continued but the spending of 150000 should take some consideration and thought there is an at tempt within county council to push things through too quick ly i am not in agreement with the presentation that there is a need for the new building mr perry reminded council of a resolution passed at an earlier county council session which called for a notice to be given members prior to a meeting on an important issue he said he had not known the new adminis tration building was on tues days agenda t am not saving that the county council set up is obso lete but the time is near when it will be said mr perry it will not be long before the mu nicipality forming metropolitan toronto forms an amalgama tion and the neighboring muni cipalities will form the metro politan area where would the county of york be without the southern municipalities it would be folly for us to go back to our people and say these chambers are inadequate we have a responsibility to our own ratepayers as the repre sentative of the largest munici pality by population i cannot support it my deputy reeve and i oppose it 100 percent added mr perry deputy reeve victor jones of aurora supported mr perrys views deputy reeve robert kirk of vaughan did likewise there was agreement in last years county council that addi tional space was required re plied reeve roy pollock of n gwillimbury this building is suitable for the other county agencies

was needed but questioned the proposed site he recommended that it be built on a main high way where the taxpayers could see it reeve william clark of mark- ham township disagreed with mr- davis views and said the property committee had selected correctly in keeping the new building on the davis property he said more detailed informa tion on the proposed financing of the project should have been provided the members the municipalities are the worst offenders for spending to day said mr perry the min ister of finance at ottawa has challenged the municipalities to stop their spending i dont feel that 150000 for a county administration build ing is extravagant replied the county commissioner edward wrightman reeve of newmar ket the administration build ing recently constructed for vau ghan township cost in the neigh borhood of 400000 the new building in markham was built for 82000 if the county cant afford 150000 for its new build ing there is something wrong i would be remiss in my re sponsibilities to my municipal ity if i dont take a stand said reeve sidney legge i feel we do not need extra space this building will be fully occupied as soon as we move to the new one we do need it and we should not delay the decision any longer said reeve william sel lers of sutton if we moved from this property we would for feit it in all my travels last year in visiting other county buildings i never came across any situation where the council chambers were as crowded as we are here action on a new building is past due he charged local presbytery concerned over norman case at a meeting of the presby tery of york of the united church that body has express ed concern over the result of an action upon the part of a subcommittee of the washing ton senate in respect to the late herbert norman canadian am bassador to egypt the presbytery protest to the speaker of the senate of con gress washington reads as fol lows a the continued reiteration of charges already thoroughly discredited by the government of canada b the condemnation of per sons upon the basis of innuendo and rumor c the publication of charges and the assumption of guilt without due trial of the accused under circumstances which ren der a public defence impossible contrary to all western and christian conceptions of justice d the straining of interna tional relations by unwarranted transgression of the jurisdiction of an independent and sovereign nation this presbytery is particular ly interested since the norman family has long resided within its bounds and is well known among us township buys
