The Women’s Association met at the home of Mrs. Jack Barton, on Wednesday for their regular meeting. There were fifteen lad- ies present. Mrs. James Williams the presi- dent was in charge of the meet- ing. Then plans were talked over about a booth at the 100 An- niversary of the Can-ville School on Saturday, June 18. The ladies were also asked to pick a suitable tile colour for xhe church floor. "Unless council directs me to do otherwise, I will stay with council’s program”. the chair- man stated emphatically. Deputy-reeve Dean said, "For your information I have not told anyone “m can do 102 Mumberson: There seems to be a terrible discrepancy then. Dean: “I told anyone who call- ed me I had nothing to do with in roads . Reeve Clark. "The Roads De- partment has every road open, but the weather is so bad that if there is any blowing, they will be filled right in again. It would be bad at this time to take any equipment off the roads to do private snow pl. wing.” -Mumberson: "Our solicitor. the Department of Highways and the Roads Department is against us doing anything on private prop- erty’" Mr, Mumberson said the same man had called him three times demanding private road clear- ance. “Why”, he demanded. “This is something council must be solid on. Why should ratepayers in the east side of township pay for those on the west side to be ploughed out or vice versa‘?” Councillor Watson said, “We are .just taking work away from private individuals who have in- vested heavily in equipment to do this type of work."‘ Building Report Councillor Mumberson, Chair- man of the Township Roads Com- mittee lashed out strongly ag- ainst a “misunderstanding” re- garding township equipment op- ening private lanes. “Some peop- le are demanding these services." Chairman Mumberson said. “They are going to Deputy-reeve Dean and he is sending them to me and it puts me in the light of being a ‘bad guy’ when I have to tell them according to our by- law we can no longer perform this service”. Council recently passed a by- law stating that Roads Depart ment could only clear lanes or driveways “in extreme cases of emergency such as for funerals, or ambulance cases”. Reeve William Clark said, “Residents are demanding more services all the timetJust look at the demand for sanding and snow ploughing we have had this winter”. It is rising costs of up- keep that push taxes up. council implied. Roads Chairman Speaks Out He also explained lhaf the re- assessment would not necessarily put up the mill rate. When Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean stated, “It appears that the tax rate is going up this year in view of the addi- tional assessment”, just. as council was determining wheth- er they would release the new salary schedules for town- ship employees at last Monday’s meeting, or release them later when the budget as a whole is presented, Clerk Harry Crisp hastened to explain his statement by saying. “Re the mill rate going up . . . last year you used up a nice fat surplus of $65,000 to keep the tax rate down; so it may not be up over the previous year, although it is up over last year”. The clerk made it perfectly clear there is no surplus from last year to offset the 1959 assessment and repeated again that the mill rate was kept down last year because of the surplus. Salary schedules were not released. Markham Council T.T.C. Adjusts Fares No Private Snowplowing Building Ihspectoa- Fred Fudge bruary CA‘RRVILLE atdLondon Ontario. on Correspondent: Mrs. M.

Watson asked if Markham Township was receiv~ ing any benefits. “Just in Mark- ham Village’”, the deputy-reeve replied. “I understand that in ‘Vaughan Township they are not very happy because they don’t getL anything for maintenance of roads leading into these conser- vation areas”, Mr. Dean concludv ed. However, all council members seemed agreed that the work of the authority was necessary. Mr. and Mrs. R. Evans and family, Essex Ave. have now re- turned from their vacation in Florida. lsLLangstalf Mothers Auxiliary Regarding the 1960 levy for Markham Township, the Metro Toronto Conservation Authority advises council it will be $5,180.80 this year, as compared to the 1958 levy of $5,047.41. Clerk Harry Crisp told council this amount would represent a third of a mill on the assessment to which Depu- ty-reeve Dean added, “That works out to about forty cents per head, population-wise”. The T.T.C. advised Markham Township Council by letter that there is a correction in the fares schedule which was presented to council at its session of last week. Fares under the new arrange- ment. the T.T.C. states. and to which Markham and Vaughan Townships and Richmond Hill councils had already given tenta- tive approval, should be changed to: Adults .71/2c:.Scholars .4 1/6c or 5 for 25¢: Children .31,“ or 8 for 25c rather than .71/zc. 7c and 5c. ‘ Referring to bhe anticipated de- ficit which may come as a result of the three municipalities re- ceiving returns on the T.T.C. bus only from north of Steeles Ave. to Richmond Hill, when the new arrangement comes into effect, Deputyâ€"reeve Wilfred Dean said. “Markham Township Finance Committee is wondering if the surplus acquired last year from the bus line should be distributed â€"â€" or held and used to make up the deficit later." Councillor Lawson Mumberson said, “It hurts much less to take away what you havenit got â€" than to lose it after you’ve got it”. Deputy-reeve Dean said. "The highest loss would come in the first three months of this year”. to which Reeve William Clark replied that eventually the bus line might carry itself. Mgro anservqtion Authdrity Deputy-reeve Dean moved the expropriation of $3,000 for the newly formed Cemetery Board for the township saying. “This should be included in this year's budget.” Council concurred, and at the same time moved that the members appointed to the board be permanent appointees â€"â€" sub- ject to approval of succeeding councils in the township. Note Changes T.T.C. Fares reported nine permits for build- ing were issued during February of this year for a total of $55,- 300. Fees totalled. only 5109. Two restaurants in the township plan additions costing $800 and $5,000 respectively. while dwellings ac- count for $38,000 of the total amount.
