In view of this he asked for some relief in the usual levy. A Councillor Haggart said similar requests had been refused in the past and he thought granting of anything now would a very dangerous precedent. e moved that no action be taken and his motion was seconded by Deputy- reeve’Stanley Tinker. Councillor Bradstock moved an amendment that the town not grant any relief in the levy but grant $1600. towards the cost of the watercourse. He said the town is benefiting. Reeve Perk- ins agreed the work is of benefit to the town, and seconded the mo- tion. Mr. Agh appeared before coun- cil with an agreement for the development of an eight lot sub- division on the west side of Ce- dar Avenue. 0n the 75 foot lots he plans to erect 8 semi-detached houses. The usual levy on 'sub- dividers for semi-detached hous- es Is $400 per unit plus $150 per lot for park purposes, so the usual levy for the sub-division would have been $1,100 per semi- detached unit or a total of‘$8,800. r VCbuncillor Itaggart â€"- “Was the work specified essentin to the Mayor K. W.rTomlin cast the deciding vote Monday night at a regular Town Council meeting to carry a motion granting $1600. consideration to a subdivider to assistin the construction of awatercourse through his property. The motion to grant the $1600. was made by Councillor Bradstock and supported by Reeve Perkins and Councillor Ross. Voting against the motion were Councillor Haggart, Councillor Paterson and Deputy-reeve Tinker. ’ I In opposing the motion Councillor W. J. Haggart char- ged that council was just baling out the subdivider, who claimed he was going to lose his shirt in .the undertaking. Declaring Ithe council action was unfair to other subdiv- iders, Councllor Haggart said, “we have no right to sub- sidize a subdivider”. Councillor Joseph Paterson said the concession was “a very dangerous precedent and I can’t honestly go along with it”. ~ Town Council Is Wrong Baling Out Sub-Divider Savs____Counci||or_ Haggart Mayor Casts Deciding Vote Veg H chocolates with TU. 4-2866 Deputy-reeve Tinker said while he had seconded the Haggart mo- tion he would consider consider- ation to an amount of $1,000. On behalf of the sub-divider it was stated there had been diffiA culty in obtaining mortgage money for the project and that with the extra cost of the drain- age he stood a good chance of “losing his shirt.” Councillor Joseph Paterson vi- gorously opposed the Bradstock amendment and said “the point to remember is that the change in the watercourse was necessary to make two lots saleable, It’s Sub- sidizing the sub-divider and I do not see how the town can do it.” Councillor Haggart â€" “I sym- pathize with Mr.‘ Agh, but I do not feel it is our duty to bale out any sub-divider. He made a poor purchase but that‘s not our responsibility. We are spending public funds." Councillor Haggart â€" “Then you are subsidizing the sub-divid- er,_and Incan'tgo glong with itl” Councillor Ross gxpressed the opinion that there was some ben- efit to Richmond Hill in the drainage work done by Mr. Agh.

The clerk informed members of council the new num- bers have been put 'on the assess- ment role and a covering letter will be sent to residents, along with the number plates. It is ex- pected 907 per cent of the popu- lation to be affected by the num- bering system will ,use these plates, the other 10 per cent will wish to phrchase their ‘own on re- ceipt of their official house num- bers. ' Tax Payment Fines Councillor' James Haggart pro- tested the council action and vot- ed against the agreement with the sub-divider. He said council action was unfair/to the town and to other sub-dividers. In other sub-division agreements the sub- divider not only paid the requir- ed fee per lot, but in addition paid for roads and services. In this case the sub-divider did not have to pay for roads and services and in addition the town pays $1600. towards the drainage. “I’d like to have that kind of action clarified,” said‘ Councillor Hag- gart. Mayor Tomlin said the mat- ter was settled and ruled further discussion by Councillor Haggart out of order. Mr. Tomlin 1n casting the de- ciding vote in favor of giving the sub-divider $1600., said “your Mayor never sits on the fence, I vote for the motion". He said otherwise an unfair burden would be ‘placed on a small sub-divider for carrying out work specified by the works, commissioner as a ben- efit to the town. ‘ Councillor Bradstock arnged that the area “needs a shot in: the arm.” He suggested that the proposed development is very de- sirable as an improvement. The place is crummy now, he said. 7 Councillor PatetSonâ€"“Twenty- five per cent of his land area was useless for building unless he did this Work. It’s a very dangerous precedent and we would be violat- ingflour duty as councillors. «a- Reeve Perkins â€" “It’s a low 1y- glg area and not in good condi- on.” Clerk McDonald advised coun- cil that last year the township collected 80 per cent, of the 1957 taxes but that this year 85 per cent of the 1958 taxes have been paid. Deputy reeve Vic Ryder said that pre-payment of taxes in Long Branch had been encourag- ed with good results; by January 15 of this year $125 thousand. in pre-paid taxes had been received in that municipality. Building Committee , Councillor Anstey presented a building report brief, prepared by Mr. Thomas Gillings, building and planning administrator for the township which is expected to in- crease the revenue of ‘the build- ing department considerably. Mr. Gillings’ report pointed out, that revenue for the department last year came to $4,200, whereas ex- penses were in the neighbourhood of $8,000. Councillor Anstey said “It appears our building costs are not paying for the running of the building department”; ” 1. Builders will now pay a basic application fee of $5.00, this will include the former temporary building permit which was pur- chased for $2.00. The initial five dollar fee will include the site in- spection â€" up to $2,000 worth of construction in minor alterations and repairs. _ 1 "55....

" ‘ . u "no; Further to the building depart- ment Councillor Anstey. said the building inspector had too ‘much work and asked that Mr. Jack Hamilton be appointed as. assist- ant building inspector, to which coun'cil acquiesed. In answer to an enquiry by Councillor R. P. Ross the Works Commissioner stated that most of the sewers in' the Harding area should be in operation by the Councillor Ross asked if any re- port has been received from town solicitor re the new deep well on the MacKay property south of town limits. Mayor Tomlin said that along with the Reeve and Deputyâ€"reeve he was arranging a meeting to discuss the whole matter with a committee of Mark- ham Township Council. Authorization also was given to proclaim week of January 25th to slst as Minor Hockey Week in Richmond Hill“ In making the motion Councillor Haggart said council should express its appre- ciation'rto-the public spirited citi- zens who are giving leadership and direction to minor hockey in the community.
