EVERY SATURDAY On Monday evening. November 24th, the Farm Forum enjoyed a social evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Whitechurch. Edgeley Farm Forum members Indicated that in the regional broadcast on March 9, 1959. that they would appreciate a discus- sion on “Municipal Government.” The Forum members stated that in purchasing livestock they look for animals that have a heal- thy. thrifty appearance and a good Record of Performance. They believe that the high cost of show ring animals is a detri- ment to the average farmer in building his foundation stock. They believe that show ring cattle are prepared for the ring in such a manner that the poorer qua]- ities are hidden â€" that appear- ance is not always a guide in looking for the best producers. The Forum members have found that the grading of cows at home on a basis of production has helped improve sto_c_k.

Scouts Tragedy struck in Concord last Thursday night in the form of a needless and horrible auto acci- dent. in which two innocent peop- 10 were instantly killed. Most people know the details by now. but what many of us would like to know is why the corner of Keele St. and No. 7 Highway is not better lighted? Mr. N.

Many hilarious games were played. after which the ladies each received a gift. Sorry to note that, because of illness, two of the most reliable mothers, Mrs. Spearlng and Mrs. Poole were absent. The Cub and Scout Mothers‘ Auxiliary held their monthly meeting 21nd Christmas Party on Monday evening, November 24, Mr. RJbert Jackson presided over the meeting. He stated the ratepayers wanted to know what effect the new subdivision would have on taxes, and also to get detailed information about the proposed well and how it was p1. aned to get water into places where people are having trouble with their water supply. Reeve John Perry told the ga- thering Mr. Jack Grant had been told he could develop the proper- ty in question. which is just beâ€" yond Maple Grove Subdivision, if he abided by an agreement made with Vaughan Township Council and developed a well and brought it down the main street in Maple. Mr. Perry said a test of the well showed it could produce 1,000,000 gallons a day. Two-thirdsofi the people in the present subdivision would have to vote in favour of installing mains and laterals and a debenture would be necessary. Mr. Perry felt Maple should have a water commissioner whereby only people who get water would have to pay for it. No Industry Mr. Perry stated there seemed to be no hope of industrial as- sessment in Maple and he had ac~ ccpted this subdivision because it would put water into Maple. Mr. Ken Karrigan contended it would be cheaper for the present taxpayers to develop the well than to permit the new subdivis- ion and have to pay for a new school. "ME-Art Wells pointed out King imposts $500.00 a lot to build a school. Mr. Perry countered by saying we demand $300.00 a lot and that goes to pay for the town- ship building. Cost of Township Building VII-Iv v- _- Reeve Perry stated it costs $23,000.00 3 year to carry the township ofiices and the $300.00 is applicable when a lot is creat- ed x. z‘Shouldn’t part of that $300.00 go towards schools?” wondered Mr. Norman Ragz. "Now 60% of your taxes are paid to the school board and not to Vaughan township", said Mr. Perry. Mr. Jackson said. "130 homes would mean 4 more school rooms than we have now." However he stated. “Many people in Maple suffer a water shortage." It was pointed out the township water would remove uncertainty of wells, would increase property values. and lower insurance rates. Deputy-reeve Kirk pointed out that the Metropolitan Planning Board had set the rate of devel- opment of the subdivision at 50 homes a year. Mr. Kirk said the present water area system cost three-quarteerf a million dollars. ,u,n__ three-quarter of a million dollars. When asked concerning a defin- ite date when water would be av- ailable. it was stated that since the subdivider was paying for it, it wasn’t known. However. the developer has paid $39,000.00 to the township. They estimate it will cost $90,000.00 to develop the well and put the main down Keele Street in Maple.~The devel- oper is' quoted as saying he is prepared to have council call for tenders and get prices on both winter and spring construction. Mr. Herbert Constable; who is a local school trustee. said it semed to be a choice between go- ing ahead with the subdivision and getting free water and prov- iding a school. or building "our own" water system. He pointed out the entire cost of a school doesn‘t come out of the commun- ity entirely while the cast of wa- ter would. Reeve Perry told the gather- ing at the close that a commercial area was included in the subdiv- ision and that he had given Mr. Grant an offer to purchase this area. The chairman offered a vote ox thanks to Reexve Perry. Deputy- reeve Kirk and Councillor E. W. Anstey for their mm in clarifying the water question.
