The 90-ac‘re farm of Max Ree- sor, purchased for 150 pounds sterling in 1805 by his great, great grandfather, Peter Reesor, one of the township's first Men- nonite settlers. has been sold to a real estate firm for $89,000. Pioneer Farm Seils $89,000 One of a series of auction sales held at the pioneer farmhouse on May 21 saw an antique wood- en turnip drill sell for S6. A cop- per kettle brought by Peter Ree- 501' from Pennsylvania in 1804 sold for $27. -The farm is part of 1.300 acres being annexed by Markham Vil- lage» for residential and indusâ€" m‘al development. MARKHAM : Council has voted in favour of a municipal vote for the installation of sewers. BRAMPTON : A 14-year‘old boy carried his 11 year old cousin from the town dump to the Peel Memorial Hospital recently af- ter the younger lad had been hit in the abdomen by a stray bullet thought to have been fir- ed by two unknown boys nearby. Consider Further VLA Sub-Division Whitchurch Township Council will hold a special session this week to determine whether or not ,they will endorse a plan‘ put forward by the Vet rans‘ Land Act to sub-divide the Gar- field Kellington farm on the 91h concession. A proposal to an- nex the property to Stouffville and allow the subâ€"division was recently turned .down by the Stouffville municipal council. Messrs. Harvey and Barrett of the V. L. A. appeared before Whitchurch Council on Thurs- nay night and urged that action be taken for a decision as soon as possible. Greatest problem confronting council on the pro- posed sub-division was the pro- vision for school facilities al- ready over taxed at Ringwood. Deputy-reeve Legge pointed out that the total assessment of the Ringwood school section was $153,000. The Kellington farm of 75 acres is assessed for $3,800. ‘ Swill-Feeding A resolution was presented to council from the Planning Board recommending that counâ€" cil move to place control on swill feeders in the municipality. Members agreed that the clerk should contact the township so- licitor regarding this matter.
