suggestion that there was an arrangement between vaughan and markham townships that the rate of pay would be the same was hotly denied by reeve george padget we will run our own affairs in markham township he said mr cornell pointed out that the rate of pay in scarboro was 55 cents per hour and as the government paid two thirds of the cost an increase in markham would mean more money
