This will cost about $1.25 a foot depending on the depth of the trench, or drill. The usual connection is a "A inch pipe but a larger one can be arranged. The owner can choose the point at which the pipe enters the house but it should not be brought in under a driveway. A mutual trench might possibly be used by two neighbours, but not a mutual pipe. Those applying for water after the system has been install- ed will be charged $200.00 for In reviewing the financing Mr. Anstey said that, making allow- ance for every forseeable contin- gency, the cost of laying nine miles of mains and supplying water to 300 residences would be $311,000, or $27,000 a year for twenty years. This expenditure would be recovered as follows: (1) a levy of additional mill rate on the total assessment of the area (this has already been in force for several years); (2) a tax of 15c a foot on frontages served by mains: (3) a minimum month- ly water rate of $3.00 a residence, allowing for the consumption of 10,000 gallons of water per month. It has been roughly es- timated that the frontage assess« ment would bring in $9,750 an- nually, and the water rates them- selves $15,750. making a total of $25,000. It is anticipated that the balance would be met by the sale of additional water. The Can-ville waterworks broke even financial- ly for the first time in 1958. 177 Lénnox Avenue Using a small map tacked to the blackboard, Mr. Hopper indicated how the feeder main would be brought down Yonge St. to Ar- nold Ave. A twelve-inch main would run out Centre St. as far as the garage at the top of the hill. Another main would be tak- en up old Yonge St. The usual policy is to lay mains on'the north or east side of a street. Saturday evening a large por- tion of the town was plunged in- to darkness when an ice laden limb of a tree fell on hydro wires at the corner of Church Street and Roseview Avenue in Rich- mond Hill. A live wire broke under the weight and one end lay on the road forming a hazard to life. The situation was noticed by three young men, James Jackson, Gor- don Charity and John Todd. They immediately assumed the res- ponsibility of preventing an ac- cident. One used his flashlight to route traffic around the wire. Another produced flares from his car and he and “his assistant”. as he called him, planted the lighted flares at strategic points Dr. E. B. Eddy had the pleasure on Sunday to present the bronze pin 'for attending Sunday School for 13 consecutive Sundays.

Mr. Jim Hubbard intro- duced Councillor E. W. Anstey. He brought a message of regret from Reeve Perry who was unable to attend, and in turn introduced Mr. Keith Hopper of Duncan Hopper and Associates. the Con- sulting Engineers engaged by the township, and Councillor Bruce Ralph, chairman this year of the Water Area committee. The three men explained the diflerent as- pects of the situation, but most of the many questions from the floor were answered by Mr. An- stey, who was chairman of the Water Area last year and appear- fed :0 be very familiar with all the ac s. On Tuesday evening about 30 mighbours and friends enjoyed a pleasant time at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Barton, when Mr. and Mrs. Bob (R. B.) Wynn arr] Kathie.

Pressure, hydrants. and insur- ance rates were also subjects dis- cussed.

An insur- ance man in the audience stood up to say that Thornhill residents would certainly receive relief in the rates but not to the extent that had been mentioned by spnje. to warn traffic of the hazard on the road. They all remained at the scene guarding the wire until the hydro crew arrived. Chairman Sam Cook of the local hydro commission moved a vote of thanks to these boys for a most unselfish and commendable act.

Mrs. Baker had baked and decorated a lovely cake expressing best wishes for good luck to both families. Congratulations The original water users signed a five year flat rate contract which has still two years to run, after which they will be put on a metered service. It will run a little higher than the flat rate, but Mr. Anstey said that the Township felt that meters were the most equitable arrangement. Last summer during the hot dry weather the Carrvllle pump was pumping 700,000 gallons a day. and the Councillors feared there must be a break in the main. However, when they made a tour of the district they found that every hose was going. us may eventually be without water. How can we be sure that the township wells, which are also drilled, will be satisfactory?” To this Mr. Anstey replied that Thornhill’s water supply comes, service connection. "I wish I could make $200.00 as easily," grumbled one ratepayer. Another referred to this charge as “a club held over our heads". “Well, would you want the job of dig- ging under a road?" asked Mr. Anstey, who explained that the township must indicate to the Ontario Municipal Board the in- itial number of users. Latecom- ers will not have been budgetted for in the original debentures. and so will have to‘foot the bill. “I have two lots." said another, “What is the procedure?” “If the main passes them you must pay the frontage tax. Then you can either accept a connection, and pay water rates. or pay the lar- ger sum when the lots are built upon". Subdividers must pay the costs of mains and connections. “Is there plenty of water, and if so why must we have meters?" were other questions. “Yes. there is ample water," replied Mr. An- stey. “The well at Carrville is at present supplying 160,000 gal- lons a day, but is capable of pro- ducing a million gallons a day. The well at Uplands, also capable of a good flow is still capped, and has not been used. There is also a good well on the Spring farm. which ,has not been develop- ed yet, bu’t will be. when that subdivision is opened up.” The meeting was to have been the annual one of the South West Thornhill Ratepayers Association, but in deference to the large number of non-members who had come expressly to hear about wa- ter, the minutes were accepted as read. and the following com- mittee was elected by acclamation â€"â€" Mrs. W. E. Huckvale. Mrs. Eric P. Boyden. Mr. J. R. Hubbard, Mr. Thomas Marks. Mr. Lloyd N. L‘l- vidge, Mr. S. Clare, Mr. Eric G. Gordon, Mr. Frank Forbes, Mr. A. McD. Robertson. Mrs. Huck- vale will continue as secretary, and Mrs. Boyden as treasurer, and the president and vice-presi- dent will be chosen at the next executive meeting. Last year’s president, Mr. Bruce Ralph, was automatically debarred from hold- ing office when he was elected a Vaughan township councillor. not from an underground river from Georgian Bay (as many erroneously believe) but from the rain and snow which seep slowly into the ground. and are stored in layers of sand. or gravel called aquifiers. When a number of wells are drilled fairly close to each other changes sometimes take place in these aquifers, and, in the shift, screens and pipes are bent, and the wells rendered useless. To guard against this the township wells have 12" pipes en- cased in 24" pipes. the space oe- tween being packed with gravel. “Apart from that we have only the opinion and observance of ex- perts. such as the International Water Supply. Incidentally, 70 per cent of the United States de- pends upon ground wells for wa- er." Thé South West Thornhill Rate- p'ayers Association, organized sev- eral years ago by homeowners in the Smith subdivision, has invited residents of Thornbank to join the Association. As to when the water would come Mr. Anstey said that the matter had received the approval of Vaughan Township council. but has yet to go before the Water Resources Commission. and the Ontario Municipal Board. He did not anticipate any difficulties there, as the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission was always glad to see a community supplied with good water. and, as Thorn- hill had a good credit rating, the Ontario Municipal Board would undoubtedly give the necessary permission to issue debentures to pay for the installation of‘mains. Work could begin as soon as the weather breaks, but it would probably be more like the first of June, with completion in Sep- tember. When one man expressed satis- faction with his own well, and suggested that the question of ma- tc'. be deferred. there was a loud dissenting murmur from those present. RICH HILL MOTORS LTD.

Since the introduction of cer- tain chemicals about twelve years ago, Mr. Webster said, a great improvement has been made in the method of controlling some of our most troublesome weeds. The two most common of these are 24D and 245T or different com- binations of these two and known commercially as brush kill. These chemicals are very potent and should always be used with great care. Judge D. Webster reported to County Council last week that the number of cases heard in the Juvenile and Family Court at Newmarket has increased in all areas except in the Juvenile Court. where 137 cases were heard during 1958. as against 153 in 1957. "Generally, in compar- ing our figures of the last three years, we see a steady growth in the amount of work that has been handled by myself and the mem- bers of my staff." Judge Web- ster said. “This growth seems to vary directly with the population growth of the County." "The most the court finds. ren to support and mothers," ed.

Webster gave a re- port on weed control to County Council in which he stated plans for the control of noxious weeds in the County for 1959. County Weed Controller Frank E.

Reeve Fred Armstrong asked what was being done about “wan- dering husbands.” The judge re- plied. “We can advise a man and tell him what the law is in this regard. but if he is a wanderer we can't really do anything. We have laws to take care of these cases (and return him to his home) but there is no guarantee he will stay." ‘ ' When weed cutting is done by the municipality as early as June, and not billed until the following year. it does not make for better public relations between councils and ratepayers, Mr. Websier said: Thanking Judge Webster for hL: report.

Any expense incurred in cut- ting weeds on property which is infested with noxious weeds is by law chargeable to the proper- ty owner and can be collected by placing the cost so incurred on the owner’s tax bill.
