King City Village Trustees, meeting May 11 in the Fire Hall, decided it was about time to prepare a by-law to eliminate laundry water emptying into village ditches; While no specific complaint from residents was men- tioned, the three trustees agreed the ditch pollution was common in new and older areas of the village. After some discussion they decided to ask the guid- ance of York County Health Unit. This would be with “a view to a by-law", said Trustee Ronald Bolton. After previously stating they would oppose another increase in Bell Telephone rates, trustees sent a letter to Regional Manager C. E. Blosdale of Newmarket: “We see you have announced increased phone rates for effect later this year. . . 1 1- 1-, A, Mr. Crooks was told, “You will be a supplemental customer on the same basis as our present tank truck customer, which means that in the event of an insufficient supply of water for customers in general. the supply to such sup- plemental customers would be suspended at such times. Mr. James Crooks had request- ed village water to irrigate his land for an undisclosed project. Trustees approved a letter assur- ing Mr. Crooks of water under certain conditions. _"-,--,V “Your rate is 50c per 1,000 gal- lons. Will you install a meter at your expense, using our plumber and a meter of his selection? With Health Unit “Any expense incurred by you for equipment and for plants or stock is strictly it your own risk of suspension of water supply.” Library Grant Trustees To Check On Ditch Pollution Notification was received of a $200 special grant made to King Memorial Library by the Depart- ment of Education and Trustees received minutes of the library board. “We presume that you intend to make application to the Board of Transport Commissioners to this effect. Would you please ensure that we are given early notice of this application,” said trustees’ letter. Mr. Bolton reported consider- able erosion down the creek hill at the east end of Melrose Ave. and Trustees decided to have a load of rock dumped. Trustees approved a plan of Subdivider Joseph Gelleny for four adjoining lots on North Keele St. on the former Barrie farm. The lots are within village limits and already serviced by water and roadway. Mr. Gelleny said he wanted to have the lots redistered. i, 1'. Bruce Hall, newly-elected chairman of Heritage Park Rate- payers' Association, asked if the 75-foot limit on lots applied only to new subdivisions. Mr. Findlay said, "No", and suggested the lim- Board Of Trade Fair May 27-30 The Oak Ridges Boa-rd of Trade will hold its annual fair four days this year, on May 27, 28, 29 and 30.

Dealer) Mr. Hall asked how often cal- cium would be applied to roads and was informed, “probably once in the subdivision and twice on Keele St." Trustee Findlay and Bolton said this had proved satis- factory the past two years, but more liquid calcium could be ap- plied if needed. , itation did not apply to isolated lots such as two in Heritage Park. In the inspection of roads by Trustees Scott and Findlay and Township Roads Supervisor Chal- mer Black. Mr. Hall wondered if “boils” in the road would be rem- edied. Mrs. Mary Scott said the grader would fill in the holes. Repair Road Base The subdivision’s representa- tive said he “protested strongly" unless something were done about the base of the road the same pl‘oblem would recur yearly. He mentioned one spongy spot, 15 by 30 feet, and declared, “the whole hill is full of springs”. Mr. Hall suggested the road should be “dug out to some depth and filled in with crushed ‘rock". He pointed out, “This has been the worst year". Trustees’ Chairman Findlay commented, "In the country re- liance is placed on roads eventual- ly forming a mat." Heritage Park's retiring chair. man Warren McKendryâ€" wanted the road dug out and .filled with "pit run" to allow the water to gth aww and prevent heaving. Trustees agreed to look at the road in two weeks, after it had dried and‘hardened a little, and said they would consult the Town- ship Supervisor, Mr. Black. Mr. Hall asked if anything had been done about the num- bering *of Humber Drive. Mr. Findlay said trustees had heard from Township Solicitor J. D. Lucas concerning street names, but nothing further about house numbering. Secretary George Cruickshank was asked to write Township Clerk Rose, requesting that trus~ tees borrow some of the form pages and originals of agreements between township and subdivid- ers of Clearview Gardens and Valentine Acres. Trustees wish to provide copies for the ratepayers‘ associations of both subdivisions. Clear Culverts Trustees pointed out it is the responsibility of residents to keep culverts clean, and suggested a by-law might be in order. In connection with village street names, Mr. Findlay reported Mr. Lucas suggested two separate by- laws. one providing for changing street names and another for naming streets heretofore unnam- ed. Mr. Lucas had asked trustees to supply appropriate schedules and Mr. Findlay said he would but he didn’t know when he could. Alias For Commissioner Mrs. Scott reported on the mee- ting of two trustees with Roads Supervisor Mr. Black, when most of the village roads were inspect- ed. “I hope when any more work is to be done, Mr. Valentine will at least let ‘Gravel Gertie’ know about it”. commented Mrs. Scott. She told of grading being done by township equipment and said a new culvert would go in at the corner of Dew St. and King Blvd. An extra sand layer is to be com- pacted on Patton St. in the pro- cess of building up the entrance to Valentine Acres. Mr. Fred Patterson, chairman of Valentine Acres’ Ratepayers Association, praised the work be- ing done and asked about clear- ing the ditch in front of the Bell ,Telephone exchange.

Mr. Bastedo spoke of the need of good health habits and said the study of the individual child stressed good work habits “to help in school and in future em- ployment.” Participation in ex- traâ€"curricular activities, such as Glee Club, debating society and sports is encouraged for students’ social adjustment, he said. ‘ .u Boys and girls should decide early about their future educa- tion, advised Mr. Bastedo, so they can plan courses according- ly. . It is more difficult now for a student to drop a subject. He must bring a note from home, then discuss the matter with his teachers, explained the speaker.
