There were brickâ€"bats and hot words passed at the Maple & District Ratepayers Association meeting on May 2nd at the George Bailey School. The executive had in- vited representatives from Vaughan Township Council, Maple Village Trustees and School Board of S. S. No. 6 to take part as a panel in order to discuss many items regardâ€" ing any new subdivisions to be located in Maple at a future date, and Deputy-Reeve Robert Kirk and Council member Bill Anstey, Trustees Kirby Brock and John Neufeld and Secretary of S. S. No. 6 Bob Jacksan made up this panel. A good representation of Maple residents as well Gas interested members of neighbouring Ratepayers Assoc- iations were present. THE Maple, Concord & Edgeley Districts The Associaion had presented an outline of their views con,- cerning new subdivisions. These were mainly that any lots in new subdivisions should beAIOO ft. x 150 ft; that the subdivider should pay $500 per lot toward cost of new school construction and $5001) er lot toward a water system. This latter {inure “as re- lated to a conservative estimate of cost of individual wells and pumping systems. Mr. Brock pointed out that the Village Trustees have no control over new subdivisions, but are invited to sit in on Council meetings dealing with such matters. Council Stipulation Mr. Kirk reported that Council is stipulating that on the prop- erty knmm as the Rumble Farm north of Maple Sideroad all water drainage must bé west to the Don and none south to the Village; that a $300 severance fee per lot for the New Munici- pal Offices be given. and that water mains installed be large enough to permit other areas to be connected thereto; they also insisted on a $300 per lot pay- ment toward a pumping station. School News Members wanted to know what provision was being made for a new school which would be needed. Mr. Kirk replied that, as far as he knew. Council had no intention of asking for contributions to schools, and the only thing to do was keep asking the Province for more aid in education. Mr. Jackson said in his opinion the residents of Maple before the present Maple- grove Subdivision was built were “skinned alive" in footing too much of the bill for the present new school, and apparently the process was going to be repeated. He said in two Streetsville sub- divisions the subdivider had pro- vided 6 acres plus $600 per lot for a school, as well as all the other services, and he‘had with him the proofs of this statement. Council members were amazed at this information and claimed it .was too much to ask of a sub- ‘dlvlder along with other com- Heated Words Pass At Maple During Discussion On .

"Nonsense" says builder Mr. Earl Hansen ,local builder and business executive, replied to this by saying that such an atti- tude was “utter nonsense." Mr. Kirk asked if he would like to take the prospect under the con- ditions they were demanding plus a contribution to a school, and Mr. Hansen replied that he would be delighted, quoting the following figures Cost of acreage for the Rumble Farm property was $120,000 and allowing $50,000 for drainage, this brought the cost per 80 ft. lot to ................ $8B5.00 Add to this for Pumping Station ............ For Mains @ $5. 00 per ft. .................. For gravel roads @ $5.00 per ft. .............. Severance fee for ToWn- ship Offices ..... 300.00 5% engineering fee 109.00‘ 5% real estate commis- sion ................ 190.001 Total cost per lot . .. $2,584.00 i 'The subdivider, at a selling‘ price of $3.800 per lot (which is the approximate price for 100 ft. x 150 ft. lots in Maplegrove with- out water) could still pay $300 toward the' necessary new school and yet net approximately $192,- 000‘on his original investment. Education Cheap . ‘Mr. Anstey commented that the present, tax of $100 per fam- ily per year was cheap educa- tion. It was.pointed out that over 40% of the local Maple School Tax last year was for capital charges for the present new school, and Mr. Wismer ,a rate- payer. said he did not begrudge his school tax bill and realized it would probably go up in fu- ture, but he felt the money should be put into running the school, teachers' salaries. etc., .and not to building debentures. Many questions were asked as to the probable cost of putting ih‘ 'a' 'p‘iir'n'p'i'ng station and water mains in the rest of the village, but the council members had no information on the subject. Some ratepayers were anxious to keep the Maple and district new residential areas on a par with the present Maplegrove one of 100 ft. x 150 ft. lots, while some panelists felt this would keep costs too high for the aver- age buyer, as few :people could afford $30,000 homes. This caused laughter from the audience. as most of the residents claimed they had paid nowhere near this figure for their homes. Multiple Dwellings Mr. Anstey then read an ar- ticle from a Toronto newspaper written by the Assistant Director of Planning for Metropolitan To- ronto, advocating multiple hous- ing and apartments as an econ- omic necessity. Ratepayers ex- pressed the opinion that they did not want any such development in Maple and district, as they had moved out of the Metro area to get away from overcrowding. and doubtless people with such desires would always be avail- able to purchase locations in Maple with its comparatively favourable prices. Mr. L. House expressed the opinion that apparently, from what council members were re-‘ porting. Maple would be getting the same as it had from the first subdivisionâ€"almost nothing â€"- is the new subdivision had to willing to publish interesting items regarding people and events ders in Maple.

He was concerned that Council was being “led up the garden path" by “profit-hungry land speculators.” Dissatihction Many ratepayers throughout the meeting expressed dissatis- faction with Council that it was ensuring that Vaughan Townshio as a whole received what sever- ance fees were forthcoming. but left local taxpayers with the total burden of new schools, and they wished to know why. if other communities in Metro area re- ceived substantial aid toward new schools, it could not he done in Vaughan Township. President L. Clarke thanked the panel for their kindness in attending this meeting and in providing the assembly with their advice and information.
