Laskay Socials GIVE THANKS BY With changes popularly pre- dicted in King Township Council for next term. King City Village Trustees halted rumours they might be considering running for Township ~ Office. King Trustee Findlay Standing Re-Election At Trustees’ November 9 meet- ing in the Fire Hall, Chairman Donald Findlay read a prepared statement: “There are rumours about King City Trustees stand- ing for King Township Council this year. These rumours are un- derstandable. It is well-known that they are dissatisfied with the municipal set-up for this area. Maybe, if they could become elected to King Township'Coun- cil some improvements might be accomplished. “But after studying the matter. they believe the major con- structive change for this area would be the separation of King- City as a village: that this is bound to happen fairly soon: and on the long term, the make-up of Township Council is.a question for the other axjeas in the Township." Mr. Findlay went on. “The other 1959 Trustees must speak for themselves. but, if they wll‘ stand for Trustee again. I am standing for Trustee and not for Township Council." In case there was any doubt about his intentions, Mr. Findlay later told “The Liberal," "I do not forsee any circumstances that would cause me to stand for Township Council this year.” At the meeting witnessed by three ratepayers representing Heritage Park, Clearview Gar- dens and Valentine Acres sub- divisions, Trustee Ronald Bol- ton agreed with Mr. Flndlay‘s views. He said‘he was not inter- ested in Township affairs, but is interested in the village. Trustee Mrs. Mary Scott said she agreed in part with Mr. Find- lay’s statement and added she had been a newcomer this year, learning the job. She said she had found Township c‘o-operative, The Chairman took exception to an evening paper’s statement terming King City firemen as “special police" for Hallowe'en. Mr. Findlay pointed out. "We know better than this, as report- ed, and we did not do so. We did have a fire patrol as well as the constable on duty." A donation of $900 from Sub- divider Leo Valentine as half the cost of materials already used on Patton St. was reported made a few days earlier when Trustees met at Township office with War- den Hodgson, Councillors, Town- ship Engineer Victor Bardawlll and MnValentlne. Although Department of High- ways has already turned down a subsidy for Patton St.. Warden IIodgson will continue to try to obtain a grant. Engineering ser- vices and the use of machinery were supplied by Mr. Valentine to improve Patton St... leading into Valentine Acres. Village sand barrels were to be placed around the streets in the next few days and kept filled for motorists by Township Roads men. Secretary G. T. Thompson re- ported Mr. John Phillips. repres- enting Township Englneer Barda- will. had made a complete lnves- tlgation .of waterworks, storm drainage, culverts, roads and dit- ches ln Valentine Acres.
