Mr. Findlay reported King Township Council had asked trustees to pursue directly with Dr. Arnold Iscove the supplying of water to his proposed subdiv- is’m east of the village limits. Representing “an undisclosed buyer," realtor Arthur Magee presented a preliminary draft plan of about six acres of Shat- ka property south of King Mem- orial Park. The plan proposed 32 lots with 75-foot frontages and varying depths. Trustees Findlay and Ronald Bolton assured Mr. Magee water was available. They said they were not turning down the plan, but the measurements were in- accurage and showed “too many dead end mains." Trustees agreed to allow ‘11e D~partment of Highways use of the Eire Hall for an Ontario Mun- icipal Board arbitration hearing on June 1. concerning the widen- in; of Yonge Street south of Bradford. After considerable discussion regarding foreign rates. which would differ from village rates also meeting waterworks deben- ture; about location of house aw- ter connections, servicing of the system outside the village and possible contracts, Trustees post- poned 'the matter for their fur- ther attention. Chairman jonald Findlay con- cluded the April 27 King City Village Trustees’ meeting with his state ‘e1t, “Trustees simply have too much to do.” He served a “notice of motion for the latter May meeting if the workload doesn't show definite signs of easing. we engage semi- full-time general administrative help beginning the lat of July." M . Findlay said Mr. Bennet, architect for the new All Salnts‘ Church, ‘had asked if water con- nection could be made to Park Road and Mr. Findlay had said "Yes." Trustee Mrs. Mary Scott in- quired, “What can we do about weed control?” and the chairman explained, “Call township to cut the weeds and bill the household~ Secretary George Cruickshank was authorized to make a May 1 and November 1 waterworks de- benture payment of $2,696.30. Study Irrigation Mr. James Crooks, King St., asked trustees if he could have town water for irrigation. He estimated 70 or 80,000 gallons of water might be needed over a four-month period, depending up« on whether it was a dry summer, V Trustees did not Want other homes *n the village to be de- Four Gates Proposal For Toronto 8.

Mr. Fred Patterson, head of the new group in Valentine Acres, asked if hydro rates were t"e same as telephone, with the more users, the higher rate. Mr. Crooks pointed out trus- tees had mentioned “looking after our own.first" and what would be the difference in supplying him to supplying 60 homes outside the village. Mr. Findlay explained the difference, at $44 yearly out~ side rate for 60 homes would be more than $2,000. Mr. Bolton, 3 Hydro engineer, explained there was ‘a flat rate regardless of use.” He pointed out, “The only way to reduce rates is if we get into our own system." Mr. Bolton said trustees had budgeted $500 last year for the necessary Hydro inventory pre- ceding Public Utilities Commis- sion negotiations. “The inventory was shelved because a police vil- lage required a public vote. At the time we were looking into in- corporation and as soon as we're incorporated we pretty well have to take over Hydro automatically. We didn't get incorporated, so we are still on rural Hydro." Mr. Bolton said the $500 inventory cost had been re-budgeted for this year by trustees. prived of water and pointed out there would be many new lawns this year. They preferred to con- sider the request and give Mr. Crooks an answer within a week. Public Vote Mr. Patterson asked about the assessment almost doubling on homes and was informed the cur- rent assessing being done was scheduled to affect next year’s taxes. “Everywhere else in the county is already assessed in this equalized basis,” said Mr. Fin‘dr lay. Trustee Bolton explained “King City can become 3 voted area in the township, if we re- main in township. The system has to be self-sustaining. Hydro keeps a close watch and profits have to ‘reduce rates or a loss ups the rates." Mr. Patterson wanted to know who was responsible for installing hydrants in Valentine Acres. He considered, "It is not possible to hook a hose on two or three hydrants now, they are so low, let alone in winter.” Mr. Findlay said the subdivid- er should leave a well arounq each hydrant for accessibility. Secretary Crulckshank was asked to write Mr. Leo Valentine re- garding hydrants. Block Traffic Trustees approved sending to Toronto and York Roads Commis- sion 3 further suggestion from a Valentine Acres ratepayer. Mr. Agnew. that four gates be instal- led far enough back from the double railway crossing to block the entire area when a train is passing. The" gates at the inter- section would also affect traffic turning from King St. onto South Keele. or from Keele onto King Street. Inquiring if the new school is to be a Separate School “because the subdivision is predominantly Protestant and a Separate School might not have enough support,” Mr. Patterson was informed it was to be a public one administ- ered by SS. 2 Board. _ “What grades will be in the school?" asked Mr. Patterson. 'h-ustees told him that had not been settled by the school board, which was trying to have younger children attend the nearer school to avoid the level crossihg. uv an-.- -._- _ V Mr. Patteréofi's' queriés about Post Office hours and shortage CARL E. HILL, M.D., M.O.H. DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK Young Adults Need Polio Vaccine Polio is no longer a disease chiefly limited to children. During the past few years more and more young adults between the ages of 20 and 40 years have been victims of this disease. Protection in the form of Polio Vaccine is readily av- ailable from family Physic- ans. It is also essential, for in this age group are found most parents of young child- ren and a large proportion of the country‘s breadwinners. If you are in this vulner- able age group and have not received the required pro- ection see your family Phys- ician while there is still time to receive it before this sum- mer. Protect yourself and your family's livelihood. of boxes prompted a general dis- cussion. Mr. Findlay asked the ratepayers' presidents to study the matter among themselves and said their recommendations might go from the Federal member here. Heritage Park President War- ren McKendry reported his sub- division's tap water was clear af- ter being discolored. He suggest- ed trustees and ratepayers’ groups combine to oppose a Bell Telephone rate increase to be ef- fectiVe when the new dial ex- change goes into operation Nov- ember 1. Mr. Findlay said he was oppos- ed to higher artes. “The Bell has to give notice to the Board of Transport Commissioners. We have no guarantee King City it- self will get notice of a rise and we may be overlooked if opposi- tio_n_ is anticipated." Mr. McKendry said Heritage Park Beautification Committee has done a lot of work getting prices of trees and bushes to im- prove the subddvision's approach. He asked where storm sewers are usually placed and Mr. Bol- ton explained “sanitary sewers in the middle of the road and storm sewers at the side. usually." Oppose Bell Rates Mr. Bolton cautioned the rate- payers if the planted trees on township property they Were tak- ing a chance someday they might have to be removed. The delega- tion indicated they were willing to take the chance. Mr. Patterson complained the Bell hadn’t cleared the ditch on Patton St. and the road was worse after the Township grader dug up boulders. “The grader went in too soon; the frost wasn’t out," hl sold. Roads Commissioner Mrs. Scott pointed out the town- ship roads supervisor did not have authority to go into the sub- divisions without first .checking wth her what work was to be done, according to the recent agreement made between town- ship and village for roads maint- enan-ce. Trustees agreed to ask Mr. A‘ E. Kelley to clear the ditch. Trustees said they had ordered heavy stone content gmvel for Patton St. and the “pit run was no good.” Mr. Find'lay said, “It is our un- derstanding we would pay for gnavel for the re-building of Pat- ton St.” Mr. Patterson had requested a copy of the subdivider's agree- ment with township. Mr. Cruick- shank reported he understood there was only one copy, avail- able to be seen at township of- flee. “What’s the matter with town- ship they can't let trustees have a copy," lnterjected Clearview Home Owners’ President George Lawrence. Trustees said they would arrange to have a copy made. Asks Water Softener Mr. Patterson asked trustees to investigate installing a municipal water softener. Water Commissioner Bolton re- ported the water is “good water, but hard." He said the recent in- terruption in service was caused by a split main at the pumphouse and the old well had to be used. “There’s no shortage of water right now. We have two pumps, one giving 100 gallons a minute and the other, 50." Mr. Bolton said he “‘hoped to promote meter installation throughout town to reduce con- sumption and postpone going for another well so soon." He estimated cost would be $20 to $25 for each of 400 households. 7 Mr. Patterson was impressed. ‘Sounds to me good business if we are paying as We’re going." Mr. Bolton wanted to see a new standplpe for more pressure. He said the present one is not design- ed to have any further weight on the fundation. “‘We can’t help the odd break in a small system with part-time help. We should have a gas engine in the pumphouse in case Hydro goes.” For neWcomers present, Mr. Bolton explained, “We spent may- be $2,000 to operate the water system last year. In the winter we used 60 to 70.000 gallons a day. Last August for 1 or 2 days we used 170,000 gallons.- Consul- tants figure 70 gallons a day per person.” > A ratepayer asked if the village would still sell water to Oak Ridges in summer. Mr. Bolton said, “We may have to stop. We can tell by meter consumption. We'll have enough water if it’s used with discretion.” Mr. Bolton predicted, “We know we’ll need another well, but we'll wait for subdividers to pay for their needs." Inquiring abo‘ut Clearview’s street lights, Mr. Lawrence was told Mr. Bolton had been auth- orized as agent to order the lights next day. Questioning who was responsible for installing culverts that would meet approval of the Department of Highways inspector, Mr. Law- rence was informed. “trustees haven't heard on authority cul- verts are to be replaced." Mrs. Scott reported Mr. Kelley had collected the sand barrels. Among the visitors were Mr. McClure’s sisters, Mrs. James Cameron of Weston and Mrs. Ce- cil Keys of Toronto, and his close village friend, Mr. James Patton, who had his 88th birthday two months before. Wedding A twice-yearly mobile clinic is planned to obtain the yearly quo- ta of 40 pints. Donors must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and are eligible if they have not had jaundice and are in good health. Birthday Part! About 30 relatives called dur- ing the afternoon and had tea with Mr. Andrew McClure at his North Keele St. home, to cele- brate his 88th birthday. ‘ Misses Mildred and Roberta Gillies of Toronto. who spent the weekend with Mr. McClure’s daughter, Mrs. Alfred Gillham and Mr. Gillham. assisted them in serving Ijefreshgnents. A dozen King City residents attended the May 1 Blood Donors’ Clinic in Trinity Parish Hall. Aur- ora, to help fill this district’s quo- ta so that free blood may be available to hOspitgi patients. Mrs. Emerson Wallace and Mr. Stan Roots are receiving the names of further donors who would attend the next clinic scheduled for October. Quietly at the United Church Parsonage, Rev. Martin Jenkin- son officiated at the wedding of Miss Irene Ezard, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Ezard of King, to Mr. James Ped- lar, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Pedlar of Flesherton. Heritage Park Ratepayers' As- sociation has formed a beautifica- tion committee, headed by Mr. Pete Robertson, Mr. Bruce Hall and Mr. H. Ballard, to take ad- vantage of co-operative plans for improving the appearance of the subdivision. Blood Donors' Clinic The first co-operatlve venture deals with tree-planting and the ratepayers hope to have shortly a tree-lined avenue along the ent- rance-way. .,_L The committee suggests plant- ing fIOWering crab trees, pointing out the attractiveness of pink blossoms in the spring and bright crab apples throughout summer and fall. The final meeting for the sea- son of King City Home and School Association, next Thursday even- ing, May 14. will be addressed by Mr. J. B. Bastedo, guidance director at Aurora and District High Schol, on “Vocational Guid- ance." WJ.

Sev- eral members are planning to at- on "These trees have been select- ed for their beauty, their hardi- ness, their ability to thrive in rich and poor soils and their size will not interfere with service wires,” the committee says in a report being circularized among householders. If enough resi: dents co-operate, they estimate cost of 22 trees would come to $2 a household. a lluuoy uuuuuu Heritage Park is the first vil- lage subdivision to undertake such a scheme.

Over one hundred silver pins were presented to teachers and pupils for two terms of perfect attendance. This year’s million-dollar bud- get is financed half by the prov- ince and half by municipalities. which have representatives form- ing the Authority. The chairman is appointed by" the Lieutenant- Governor and the body consists of 57 members, half of them ap- painted by Metropolitan Toronto. There are nine advisory boards, the speaker outlined. Among the Authority's aims and functions are a flood control program. land use, reforestation development, pollution control in conjunction with Ontario Water Resources Commission, improve- ments of streams. the preserva- tion of historic sites. conservation of wild life and education in schools. sidents we are deeply interested and want to know how we can help.” Explaining formation of the Conservation Authority under a provincial act, Dr. Lord said, “Once formed by municipalities, the Authority has a lot of pow- er, the right to set up a budget and assess municipalities." The present Metropolitan Authority is Dr. Lord said Metropolitan Authority was hopeful about set- ting up a $100,000 conservation school at Albion. He stated the “hold-up" was the Department. of Education would not give approv- al to allowing such study to count as school time, thus affecting school grants. The Authority proposes having students take a five-day course at Albion during their regular School-term. an outgrowth bf several flourish; ing_c_onservatlon groups. Prof. Lord praised King Town- ship as being foremost in its in- terest in conservation. Of munic- ipalities amroachqd, he was proud to say all. including King, had approved Authority plans "with the exception of Metro To- ronto, which is taking a little longer to make up its mind.” Dutch Elm Disease Kingcrafts members showed considerable interest in the spea- ker’s report that Dutch elm dis- ease is “well-entrenched.” Dr. Lord pointed out, “Your trees can be protected at small cost. We use the argument it is cheaper to spend $5 to spray a tree than up to $200 to have it removed.” He spoke of progress by the Historical SiteLAdvisory Board in developing a pioneer village at Edgeley. “Last year 20,000 people visited the museum and we hope within two years to have an op- erating old-time village. , It will be beautiful in this areoz” ‘ _ The Education Advisory Board seeks to teach children in schools and the public what conservation means, continued the Authority chairman. He told of the success of the junior trout fishing day at Albion hills last year, attended by 700 children and 125 fathers. Two trout' pends, one of them for children under 14‘, a're under ‘Way. The Authority has five tree- planting machines and last year planted 350.00 trees under the reforestation scheme. _ ‘ Under the flood control pro- gram, flood areas are being clear- ed of houses and turned into re- forestation areas and park lands for the use of the public. Dr. Lord spoke of preparing a flood control brief costing $40 million dollars. “Hurricane Hazel did $2 million dollars’ damage in one night in this area and the 40 million would be spread over 50 years," he said._ - . l. u ‘- Dr. Lord outlined the “well- balanced scheme.” proposing 14 dams, of which six would be on the Humber, and the purchasing of 7,800 acres of flood p‘lane lands open to the publlg. He said Highland Creek was being turned into a big natural park after most of the houses had been purchased. ‘The Humber south of Dundas St. is being turn- ed into a park, the project ex. pected to take at least ten years to complete. “We are asking 37% per cent federal support,_ 37%} per cent from the province and 25 from municipalities]? explained Dr. Lord. . Family Outings A He was pleased the public ls en- joyin-g conserved sites. “Last year the parks were visited by 350,- 000 people." Whole families are using facilities, as shown by an average count of 4.4 people to each calf. Under land use and reforesta- tion, the Authority is encourag- ing proper farming methods and offering subsidies op far‘m ponds Dr. Lord reported all houses in Humber Trails had been removed. “The land is being cleared and will be open to the public this summer. About 1,200 acres of forest land in the head waters of the Humber will be an import- ant part of conservation. We are gradually extending reforestation land as it can be acquired.” “Humber River is the bad ac- tor. In 52 miles, it has a 1,200 foot drop and gains tremendous veloc- ity. At the height of Hazel, two million horsepower was dissipat- ed, which is half the flow of Niagara at many times‘of the year,” said the speaker. an A _I- fl_-AIâ€" "fié {ér‘fiuéé‘th‘e' Black Creek "unruly and in flood time it runs wild."

He was told the pictured teacher, Miss Evelyn Courtney, was in the audience. “Within 50 miles of, Toronto there are lots of areas where the forest cover shouldn't have been removed," commented Dr. Lord, showing a slide of sand blowing. He explained the subsidy allowed for grassy run-offs, which would permit waterways to function without causing erosion. Another slide showed how run-off on slop- ing land could be controlled by strip-cropping, harvested alterv nately. _ Drainage Subsidy A subsidy begins this year for tile used for draining sub~margin- 31 land," said the speaker.

Mr. Findlay said “Part of the purpose of the inspection was a number of people wish to utilize their properties and it was hoped some tentative choice of routes could be made.” Mr. Findlay reported, “no par- ticular by-pass road route could yet be ruled out or in at’this time.” Mr. Findlay continued: “Follow- ing is not a quotation direct or indirect from the engineer, but floWS as some possible inter- ences for the area inspection. (a) It might be desirable to have a by-pass that cuts out both crbssings at once. (b) Closing one crossing only might possibly throw a greater proportion of traffic on the re- maining crossing. (c) A doublé closing might mean a tri-level at or near the main comeg. (d) A do’uble closing may re- quire a greater contribution from the local municipality, perhaps in the order of $25,000 to $50,000 from either the township, includ- ing the village, or from the vil- lage aigne. (e) This greater cost might not be acceptable to the more rural taxpayers of the township, in which case it would need to be carried by the village, whether spread over the present number of ratepayers or sprea over a greater deyelopeq village. _ Successful Bake Sale Teston United Church Sunday School will hold special family day services Sunday, May 10 at 10.1? a.m. Young people of the Sunday School will take part in the service of worship.
