After discussion it was decided to increase insurance compensa- tion coverage from $3,000 per person to $4.000 per person for each of the group of ten of vol- unteer firemen. Fire Chief David Glass reported that the fire trailâ€" er hadn't been sold as yet. Chas. E. Ham had agreed to rent the stall in the Firehall. The purchase of a C02 fire ex- tinguisher which had been dis- cussed at the previous meeting was again mentioned. The fire chief Was requested to find out the cost of the extinguisher be- fore the trustees would make their decision. It was pointed out that the extinguisher could save thousand of dollars of water dam~ agein case} of an electrical or kitchen fire. Mutual Aid The question was raised re- garding Schomberg’s refusal to sign the agree ent. It was ex- plained that Sc omberg felt they were too far away to be covered by .King City, Maple, Richmond Hill or Aurora. Fire, Hydro And Water Discussed By Trustees Fire Chief David Glass then asked the trustees if they would sign the proposed bylaw Mutual Aid agreement. In pointing out the advantages of Mutual Aid, the chief cited the big fire in Aurora a few yearsago when several municipalities were without fire protection as their firemen and fire trucks were at the fire. One coordinator would be appointed who would see all areas were covered. It would be necessary in case of war for National Defence. he said. Under Mutual Aid all rural brigades will be trained on the same basis. This draft standard by-law can be repealed or amended if it does not work out, commented trustee Donald Findlay, Q.C. “In that case,” interjected Chairman of the trustees E. R. Smith, “I see no reason for not signing the agreement." Trustee Ron Bolton moved adoption of the by-law ag- reement which was signed by all three trustees. Inspection Chief David Glass asked the trustees for their opinions on ap- pointing an inspector from the fire department to inspect the electrical wiring in businesses and private homes. Some of the wiring in the old homes in the village is a fire hazard. he said. Also some of the business estab- lishments have wiring that is ex- posed and extremely dangerous, stated the Fire Chief. Specific cases which present fire hazards in the village were mentioned by the trustees. The trustees how- ever did not approve of an in- spector going into homes except by invitation. The Fire Chief had informed the trustees that the inspector in the capacity of a constable had the power to in- spect any private home. ‘ The trustees were in agree- ment with the two motions made by Donald Findlay. They were (1) That the Fire Chief select one member of the fire department to attend the forthcoming elec- trical inspection course at the Fire Marshall’s office. (2) That any King City fire hazard inspec- tion relate to places of public assembly, industrial. wholesale, storage and other places by in- vitation. In the case of the first motion, the travelling expenses Chamber Of Commerce Meet Touches Many Local Topics The annual meeting of the King City Chamber of Commerce was held on Monday evening, January 28, in the Masonic Hall. Douglas Rennison, the vice-chair- man presided. As there was a poor representation of the rate- payers and business men present (approximately 18 persons at- tended the meeting) there was considerable discussion as to whether *it would be worthwhile to continue. Those present indi- cated by their remarks their will- ingness to support the incoming board and that the Chamber of Commerce could be important and useful to the community if concrete projects are undertaken and regularly scheduled general meetings are held. Doug'las Rennison, Keith Cam- bden. Ernest Smith, Bill Jensen and Jack Turner were appointgi to the Board of Directo'ré. The board will select its chairman, secretary and treasurer. Skating Rink Ernest R. Smith was named chairman of a committee to es- tablish an outdoor skating rink. Mr. Smith, with Fire Chief David Glass made arrangements last week~end for a rink in King City Memorial Park. Using hose from the fire department they were able to flood the rink. Community Centre Donald 7 M. Findlay was ap- pointed chairman of a community centre co-ordinating committee to contact. other organizations in and twa days wages would be paid. Water Bills What is to be done wlth people who refuse to pay their water bllls, questioned chairman of the trustees. E. R. Smlth. “I have been in touch with Toronto of- ficials in regard to shutting off the water in such cases," said trustee Donald Findlay. “Accord- ing to the waterworks by-law it can be shut off," he stated. “Sometfines in the \case of sick- ness the Toronto M.0.H. has re- quested the water turned on ag- ain. In default of payment the corporation can cut off supply, but arrears can still be collected. They are not in arrears until nine months," he added. Crack Down “We must get after these peop- le who are in arrears," urged the Chairman E. R. Smith. Secretary of the waterworks was instructed to give the ofienders one last warning with thelr April bill. Those in arreacs will have their water shut off if accounts are not paid withip Athe limited time. Secretary Harvey Malcolm stat- ed that the agreement with the village plumber was subject to renwal in January The secretary was authorized to issue tenders for plumber for 1957. Subdivision Elmer Cairns of waterworks maintenance was questioned in regard to the waterworks system. “Everything has been working well,” he stated. Chairman E. R. Smith suggest- ed that any new subdivider of any new subdivision be required to tap the water at his own expense and run his mains to the street line. "We could ask the township to incorporate it into the subdiv- iders’ agreement. This will save the village a lot of work and worry." Ratepayer Doug Rennlson ask- ed the trustees if the village had a standby pump in case some- thing happened to the present pump. "No we have nothing," said the chairman. "It would take 48 hours to fix the present pump," stated Trustee Don Findlay. It was agreed to send a rec- ommendation to township that in agreements made with the sub- divider affecting King City water- works that the subdividex‘ install water services from main to streetline. Hydro Trustee Ron Bolton brought up the matter of having wholesale hydro for the village. To show the advantage of having a cost con- tract, he clted neighbouring towns and villages that were us~ ing the system. In King-City, he said, there are 16 commercial, one industrial and 285 domestic users of the hydro. It would have to ‘be accepted by vote of the people and would take 18 months to establish. The hydro will make a tentative survey and will pres- ent a tentative operating state- ment and a detailed inventory will be given. It was agreed to pass a resolution regarding the cost contract. Some commercial busimesses in King City are not paying com- mercial water rates said the chairman E. R. Smith. This was confirmed by the waterworks secretary Harvey Malcolm. Trus- tee Findlay suggested the matter should be referred to the water- works commissioner for study of commercial water rates. It was agreed to defer the parking byâ€"law which was dis- cussed in June 1956 for the time being. the community as to the possi- bility_of,building a community centre. The five per cent of land given to the municipality by the subdividers could make land available for such a project, Donald Findlay commented. Incorporation Committee The board of directors was au- thorized to form a committee to investigate the problems of in- corporating King City. The com- mittee is to make a survey of the situation in regard to acreage, poâ€" tential population and school ac- commodation, the cost of operat- ing as a corporation, and how much it would cost the taxpayer. “There is an alternative schéme," informed Donald Flndâ€" lay, “that of forming the village into a township which does not affect the school grants. The sur- vey would find out if incorpora- tion would be on the existing land or whether to enlarge the village.” Children’s Path Allen Cooke was appointed chairman of a committee to find out if an access path could be built from Kingsview Subdivis- ion through Heritage Park to allow children to reach Keele St. and avoid the CNR tracks on their way to school. Since the general meeting the Board of Direcmn met and elected Doug- las Rennison, president of the Board and Ernest R. Smith was re-elected secretary-treasurer. The Newmarket and District Association for Retarded Child- ren held its regular meeting on Tuesday, January 15. Parents of children attending this separate class gathered to Plan for the new year and choose a nominat- ing committee for the new oific~ ers. Mr. Don Hodgson from the Lake Wilcox area, secured a film from the Ontario Association and showed it to the parents. This film called “Tuesday's Child" depicted the life of a young girl who had in her very early years, contracted a serious illness which left her abnormal, or in other words. "retarded." The combin- ed efforts of all the citizens of the small town in this film, made possible a normal school life and happy atmosphere for the child and others in the same condition. Retarded .Childrens’ School Desperately Needs Help There are several from the Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox area who attend or would like to attend this class, but transportation poses a serious problem, In two months alone. this small associa- tion paid out over $150. in taxi fares from Oak Ridges to New- The St. Mark’s Anglican church of Oak Ridges held the first vestry meeting on Monday, February 4, in the church.

The government grant does not cover the teachers’ salary, and rent must also be met from donations. Last fall the small hard work- ing group of parents held 8 ba- zaar and white elephant sale, and a bake sale and rummage sale, which helped somewhat with the funds. There is nothing these parents won’t do to put all their efforts into keeping this school going. The enrollment is now 12, and hey have one teach- er, Mrs. Mor on. Fund Drive The drive for funds is now on, and has been drawn to everyone's attention. However, the amount of donations to date is only $600. compared to $2,000. at the same time last year. It is to be hoped that welfare organizations, and clubs can arrange to channel some at their funds to this very worthy cause. If some of them could at- tend one of these parents‘ gath- erings, they would realize’ how necessary additional money is at this time. There are many. who are un- aware of this school’s existence, because they themselves are not immediately connected with a child needing special training in their early years. But to see the things these hands cando. and the satisfaction they receive by doing them, is certainly reward- ing.
