We have nearly 2,000 acres. which devel- opers are really pressing to de- velop.” V For 900 acres around King City, he said, ‘Developers are of- fering the township, sewage, wa- ter system, educational facilities, paved roads and engineering ser- vices at no cost to the township. But are we ready for 900 acres to be developed? Around New- market are 400 similar acres." “It must be watched closely if this township is to maintain its tax level at a reasonable rate we can afford to pay." Mr. Hodgson stated. He explained Schomberg and Oak Ridges proposals for in- stallation of waterworks are be- forethe Ontario water Resources Commission. Deputy-reeve Aitchison, also nominated as Reeve, pointed out the last four uunty wardens held office of reeve the following year and he was in agreement with that policy. “The Warden has brought honor to the County by his good leadership; honor to the TOWnship, and to the name of Hodgson.” v..c,_-___ Smiling toward (his "good friend,” Douglas Hutchins, Mr. Aitchison said, “We'll fight it out between us,” for Deputy Reeve. He summed up the township’s two most important problems are improved roads and improved methods of education.

Farmers used to have 75 and 80 per cent of the total assessment and now, under re- assessment, form 34 per cent of the total.

Speaking of Township's devel- opment, Mr. Hutchins agreed, “Truer words were never spoken than it would need ‘close watch- ing."

He stated, “It’s inevitable, if water comes to Schomberg and Oak Ridges. those areas will move like King and Nobleton. It will be a future council’s respons- ibility to see needs are met, if the township is to remain whole, otherwise is should say, ‘Go a- head and incorporate.” Township School Trustees for Area 1, John W.

Subdividers are in it to make money and the township has to see everything is done by specif- ications,” said Mr. Taylor, who considered Township Engineer Victor Bard-awill “tops.” “Police Villages are looking after their own needs. Trustees are doing a remarkable job," commented Mr. Taylor. “Some don't want to be on their own and ome have eyes on incorporation. I feel the township has to provide administration to give people ser- vices they want. Those from the city want water, garbage collec- tion, street fights, until they are back to city standards."

It will attract better homes." He said, “Close to my heart are the two water systems we hope to have installed.
