Early in summer a few Herit- age Park residents met at the home of Warren McKendry â€"- whom they selected as their chairâ€" manâ€"to pursue the problem of paying their roads impmved. ,, , J_1__-‘:__ Warren McKendry New Chairman Heritage Park Ratepayer's Group r The outcome was a delegation to King Township council. Chos- en to head Heritage Park rate- payers were Burt Wyer. Mrs. Dora Tansley and on the commit- tee John Moore. For months one or ‘wo or half a dozen Heritage Park residents have attended village trustees‘ meetings as actively interested individuals. but not as an organ- ized ratepayers‘ body. With many_of the occupants of the 38 houses in the cen‘ral sub- division away during summer, the organizing committe looks to September to bringing more home owners together for mut- ua: benefit. Roads and culverts have long been the main concern in Herit- age Park. At a race“? trustees‘ meeting a delegation was asking about street lighting and was as- SU‘ed by trustees the llghts, pos- sibly three. would be installed. Now the ratepayers want to dlseuss whether the lights are taxable as a local improvement and whether the majority favour having them.

High spot of Monday night’s meeting of the Clearview Gard- en’s Home Owners Association, when they questioned King City trustees about pending incorpora- tion. was a statement by John Dew. The discussion had gc’. around to the spending of impost money paid by the subdividers, when trustee Dew rose to his feet and said there was something import- ant to consider: "If we are going to incorporate, do it now not after new subdivis- ions are built and the impost money gone. If we are not going t; incorporate don't for it 10 or 15 years." Trustees chairman D o n a 1 d Findlay said he guessed King City, as a police village. would soon cost more to operate than if it were incorporated because administrative help would be needed shortly to relieve the work now carried by the trustees. One ratepayer mentioned he had never seen the petition dir- ected to the municipal board. Mr. Findlay replied, “We've been holding off because of this pos- sible mecting'fl Trustee Ronald Bolton said it was hoped to haw a public meeting in September when chartered accountant Ste- wart Joscelyn would answer questions about his budget fore- In fact. recognized as a means Incorporation."
