Allencourt Title VOLUME LXXXI, NUMBER 13 Councillor Bradstock express- ed continued objection and sup- ported the recommendatiop of the planning consultant. He pointed. out that the heavy truck traffic to the plant would be an addit- ional hazard on an already too busy Yonge Street. “Maybe we should stop passing motions if we don’t stick by' them.” com- mented Mr. Bradstock. Representatives of the com- pany gave assurance the opera- tion will not be in any way ob- jectionable. Council will require that roadways on the site be pav- ed which will eliminate tracking of mud onto the highways. After expressions of opinion by council members the Mayor stat- ed the Ontario Municipal Board will be advised that council wish- es to delete the clause prohibit- ing th'e erection of ready-mix plants. In view of the fact that the Mc~ Cord Company had clo'sed the deal for purchase of the‘propert'y last March and had previously advised council of its plans, the majority of council‘membei‘s felt the restrictive by-law should- be amended to permit the plant 'to go ahead. - new Industry he thought council might well reverse its firmer decision. He pointed out the pros ject would represent an, assess: ment of some $285,000.‘ and that since the company is willing to sign an agreement safeguarding thetinterests of the town 'he had no objections.

Several breaks in the Crosby sewer cost the town many thouv sands of dollars for repair, and council last April appointed a special committee to investigate. The probe report was presented to council by Chairman Reeve F. R. Perkins, and then referred to the solicitor to determine whe- ther or not any legal action is warranted. Councillor W. J. Haggai-t com- mented that since council now has this report there is no reason why the probe committee cannot continue with the second phase of its investigation dealing with the Beverley Acres drainage problem. Probe Committee Chair- man Reeve F. R. Perkins made no comment. Town council met In regular session Monday night, with Mayor Tomlin presiding and all the members in attendance. Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night received official word from solicitor J. D. Lucas advising that he has examined the report of the special Probe Committee re the Crosby sewer breaks and can find no evidence to war- rant legal action to reclaim losses either from the contrac- tor or the engineers.

The new proposal it was stated had nothing whatever to do with the Teen Town which has been car- rying on here for considerable time.

Richmond Town Council decid- ed Monday night to arrange a meeting with the executive of the Recreation Committee and the executive representing a large group of Teen-agers with the view of establishing some kind of club or recreation centre for the young people.
