No success has been reported to date by the test drilling for additional water supply. Some six or seven holes have been drilled in Markham Township east of the town limits. The engineer also reported plans are about ready and that tenders will be called shortly for the new water treatment plant. In a move designed to fore- stall the usual summer water shortage in the Highland Park and Doncaster area, council has asked North York Township for permission to increase the size of the main feeding into Highland Park from North York from four to eight inches. Both these areas are presently supplied with wat- er from North York. Under the terms of the Markham-North York agreement, North York ag- rees to supply 250,000 imperial gallons of water to Markham daily. There are 518 water cus- tomers in the Highland Park- Doncaster area and they are at present using only 125.000 im- perial gallons daily or half the agreed quantity. The installation of an eight- inch main would result in better water p essures for both these areas. It was pointed out it would he only a temporary measure as Markham expects to have its own water supply centred in its tw0 wells on the Don Mills Road near John St. in operation within the next six months. Township engineers Babcock and Scrivener report that a 24- hour test of the two township wells showed they will pump 1.58 million imperial gallons of water daily. This information has been forwarded to the Ontario Water Resources» Commission. Finances In a comparative financial reâ€" port covering the township op- erations up to April 30 the great- est increase was shown in the matter of fire protection.

It was pointed out these restrictions are necessary until the new overhead tank to provide adequzite storage is completed. The Waterworks committee was authorized to meet with Vaugh- an officials to discuss purchase of water from that municipality. Cost of necessary mains and equipment to utilize some of Vaughan supply which may be available is estimated at about 120,000. Council members felt consideration of the proposal should be given at once as in- surance against any local water shortage. Council adepted the recom- mendation of J. L. Graham and Company and will sell $563,411.87 school debentures at a rate of $97.92. The debentures are for twenty years and bear interest at five and a quarter per cent. Council members expressed sat- isfaction with the price which reflected Richmond Hill‘s sound financial position. Mayor Tomlin pointed out that a review of the town’s financial position with the view of current debenture issues had proven very grntifying. - Engineer Phillips reported that completion of the development of the new well could be expect- ed in about a month. This will give the town an estimated 200,- 000 gallons per day additional Buy Radar Set Lines. Both proposals involve a substantial subsidy from the town.

Further in the matter of inâ€" creasing dumping facilities, Reeve W. L. Clark reported that Mr. H. Kennedy is anxious to receive some decision from coun- cil regarding the suggested use of an old gravel pit located on his property between the 5th and 6th concessions as a dump. Mr. Clark suggested the sanita- tion and water committee confer with Markham Village and Rich- mond Hill to see if they would be willing to share with Markham the cost of using the dump on a joint basis. Water Shortage It was reported council has two proposals for a local bus service, one from Langdon’s Bus Lines and one from Newmarket Coach Council instructed the solicitor to draw up agreements for two small subdivisions. Both are in the Rumble Avenue area, one for 11 lots and one for 18 lots. smau subdivisions. Both are in the Rumble Avenue area, one for 11 lots and one for 18 lots. A letter from Birrell Motors Ltd. Asked for street lighting on North Yonge Street. Mayor Tomâ€" [in said Hydro Commission plans In moving his motion. Coun- cillor Watson noted that both Vaughan and Whitchurch Town- ships keep their dumps open a number of days each week. The Vaughan Dump is open five days a week and the Whitchurch Dump for two days each week. Mr. Wat- son felt suburban residents were particularly in need of regular dumping facilities. A township employee will be stationed at the dump and non-residents using the dump will be charged a maxiâ€" mum of $2.00 a load. Acting on a suggestion of Councillor S. Watson, Markham Township Council Monday un- animously agreed to keep the Headford Dump open every Sat- urday from 9 to 5 p.m‘ until fur- ther notice. This marked a new departure in the important mat- ter of adequate dumping facili- ties for township residents. Pre- viously, the Headford Dump was open only certain specified days each spring and fall.

L. Ruddy Co. sign adjacent to his store. Mr. Spence maintains that the sign is five feet too high and thus obstructs his sign. Mark- ham has no by-law restricting the height of outdoor signs.
