A. Babcock to make an engineering study of the area to determine what services would be required and what, in his judgment. the estimated cost would likely be," wrote Mr. Rose. “At the time council instructed the planning board to proceed that council was doing this for the benefit of the residents, not only in the King City area, but also as a guidance for the future development of the Township at large and that the results would be available for study as soon as they were received and adopted. Politics Excluded “While it is true that the en- gineer has come to council from time to time asking for further information, it is quite untrue to suggest that council and planning board have been having private meetings on the political future of the King City area. “His report has just been re- ceived and I am instructed to advise you that as soon as it is adopted by Council and becomes official. 3 copy will be delivered to you. “The council would also like to draw your attention to the fact that it did not spend any monies opposing your application for incorporation. ‘Thls study was undertaken in accordance with the duties of Council and the planning board under the Ontario Planning Act. In reply to King City Village Trustees’ June 1 letter to King Township Council, asking council to consider with trustees whether the police village should enlarge and in- corporate, or revert to status of hamlet, Trustees received written confirmation of willingness to co-operate. At the village trustlees' June 22 meeting, Trustee Ron- ald Bolton read the fol owing letter signed by Township Clerk Harold Rose and dated June 19: - For many‘year's King Township Council has referred to the Police Village as King Cityhhe pointed out. A few years ago the Trustees urged that the Post’ Office offi- cially adopt the name to eliminate any confusion. Postmistress Mrs. W. F. McDonald reports on June 9, 1953, she'had the Post Office sign changed from ‘King” to "King City,’ after being notified by the Post Office Department. Village Trustees Chairman Don. ald Findlay told The Liberal there had never been any doubt in his mind that was the correct name, in fact he has seen wills dating back to 1892 describing the loca- tion as King City. The passing of a bylaw by York County Council last week, offi- cially naming the Police Village as King City, was regarded as a technicality by residents who have always used that name. Flashlight pictures were taken to record the occasion. Among those attending were King St. neighbours Mrs. James Watson, Mrs. Elmer Hadwen and Mrs. Carl Heder and Mrs. Alfred Gill- ham from Strange.

The clerk’s letter went on “Council will be most happy to have discussions with you on the whole problem of the area‘ but they would prefer that these 1115- cusslons be not held until coun- cil, planning board, and the trus- tees of the police village have had an opportunity of thoroughly considering Mr. Babcock's report. Pool Reports “As far as council and planning board are aware, the exchange of these two documents will con- stitute the pooling of all reports known to them and I am further instructed to advise you that after all bodies have had adequate time to study these reports, a joint meeting will be arranged at your request." “Generally speaking the future of the council as indicated at the Municipal Board hearing is that the problem of incorporation or otherwise is one for the rate- payers in the area to determine for themselves, but it will always remain the overall responsibility of council to represent. not only the ratepayers in the area which you are discussing, but also the ratepayers in the entire township.

STUART PAXTON WIRING LINE woux KESWICK : York county council has authorized the first steps to a bridge over the Holland river, which would cut 12 miles ofl‘the present 45-mlle route from Kes- wlck \o Barrie. Mr. Bolton sald of six men ap- plying for the part-time job of village secretary-manager, one had withdrawn. another was a lawyer in Aglncourt, and four local applicants had peen inter- viewed by trustees, who wanted a resident to take all-hour phone calls. After Héritage Park Chairman asked about having a water ditch cleared, Roads Commissioner Mrs. Scott explained Mr. A. E. Kelley had been told by Town- ship Supervisor Chalmer Black not to proceed yet with the work. When trustees consulted Coun- cillors Jennings and Taylor, both on township road committee, Mr. CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY Richmond Hm & District Unit For Information call Shhmond Hill T0. #122.

Mr. Bolton pointed out there had been no flooding in the past two years, with the ditches sod- ded and culverts kept clear. He thought it would be necessary to have engineers guarantee the flooding danger does not now ex- ist, in order to have the injunc- tion lifted. “but I don't know how an engineer could prove it." Seek Administrator During the discussion Mr. Bol- ton asked councillors vlews. Mr. Taylor pointed out_ “You wouldn’t buy a piece of land with an in- junction against it." The in j u n c ti o n stipulates “Clearview Gardens Limited, its servants, workmen and agents . . . are hereby restrained from per- mitting surface water to drain from lands known as Registered Plan 459, on to lands of plaintiffs, known as lots 36, 37 and 38 in Plan 84 . . . until such time as the local municipality assumes the care and maintenance of the roads laid out and shown in Plan 459." An exception was made for "Acts of God," which are beyond seasonal fall of water. Mr. Bolton said the delay meant no extra cost to residents, since it was the responsibility of sub- divider Alfred McBride to main~ tain the roads in the meantime. “All trustees can do is get after him to keep the dust down and the roads in condition." In the absence of Chairman Donald Findlay. Mr. Bolton pre- sided. He and Trustee Mrs. Mary Scott voted to spend around $2,000.00 to install a telemeter to control the level of water in the tank and keep the water pres- sure more uniform. Considerable discussion pur- sued whether township would still be liable if it acepted the roads. Councillor Jennings indi- cated the injunction was the only hindrance to Clearview's first plan being assumed. King City has sufficient water, but the waterworks system has problems of pressure and c0n~ trols, reported Waterworks Com- missioner Ronald Bolton at vil- lage trustees June 22 meeting in the Fire Hall. “All the pressure there is, is standpipe pressure_' explained Mr. Bolton. "The telemeter won't increase the present pressure of a full tank, but it wlll keep the water from dropping and lower- lng pressure. The main pressure control now at the pump, would go on at the tank." Among the eight ratepayers were Clearview Gardens repre- sentatives, who reported parts of their subdivision had low water pressure. Mr. Bolton said the second well ls guaranteed to produce 100 gal- lons a minute the year round. Both wells are being used, but the first well does not have a meter to indicate what it ls wp- plying. “Before long we will need a third well and should start drill- ing this year,” he advised. Protests Decision Clearvlew Gardens Chairman George Lawrence referred to township council's decision, fol- lowing the advice of township solicitor J. D. Lucas, not to as~ sume the subdivision until an in- junction was lifted. On current hot days the 1.300 populatibn is using 170,000 gal- lons daily, reported Mr. Bolton. “I feel this is a buck-passing deal, inasmuch as the township acepted the plan for the sub- division in the first place,” said Mr. Lawrence. Asking about water consump- tion Heritage Park Chairman Bruce Hall was told at present an average of over 100 gallons per person per day was being used.

Valentine Acres Chairman Fred Patterson. protested Patton St. was considered not assumed. when he understood it had been over 30 years. Rebuilding of the road was estimated at $800, cost- ing every resident nearly a dollar, when subsidy would amount to half, he pointed out.
