C. T. Crisp, Prominent among the prob- lems Council has to cope with, is the question of water and sewage disposal for both residential and industrial development. The C.N.R. marshalling yard, while still on paper and awaiting final government approval, has al- ready attracted enquiries for in- dustrial sites in the township, of a substantial nature. Council is pushing ahead plans to provide such potential developers with the essential services they need. It is now suggested that the Fraserd‘ale Farm at Concord would be a suitable site for a sewage disposal plant which would service not only the Spring Valley subdivision, but also the proposed industrial area to the West. It is expected that the C.N.R. bridges over No. 7 Highway and 400 Highway will be constructed this year. Storm sewers, roads. the C.N.R., industrial development in the township and the Spring Valley subdivision were some of the topics discussed by Reeve John Perry of Vaughan Town- ship, at the meeting of the South-West Thornhill Property Owners’ Association held at Thornhill Public School Last Thursday, April 7th. whole park is not desirable’.’ When asked by the delegation whether the present school grounds were included in the acreage for the park. the deputyâ€" reeve said, “No, but the acreage would probably adjoin the pres- ent school playgrounds." Mrs: Axelson expressed doubts about use of the park in this case. stating. "The ratepayers of Don- cater and Highland Park spent over $1,000 for a rink in this area. Then we found the school sets up the time-schedule for use of the rink, and pre-schoolers can’t use it because of the older skaters." Referring to the rink the reeve said that there should be another special rink for the smaller child- dren to make it satisfactory. Deputy-reeve Dean, who then officially moved the motion reâ€" quested, seconded by Councillor Watson, said the proposed park site council had in mind would be partly treed and have four ac- res of clear land. Reeve Clark pointed out that trees on part of the land would make an ideal picnic site. Bare oland for a Reeve Perry Addresses Thornhill Pty. Owners The Spring Valley sub-divi- sion, comprising the area from Yonge st. to Bathurst and from Arnold ave. to Crestwood, will be started this fall and it is ex- pected that eventually it will have a population of 8.000 peo- ple. Reeve Perry brought the official plans for the subdivision to the meeting and Councillor W. Anstey was present to answer any questions about them. The plans showed an area of 452 acres, and less the allowance for roads. schools and parks, some 250 acres will be given over to residential use. Plans call for one third of the dwellings to be semi-detached and two-thirds to be detached single family homes. be set aside for park land", but made it perfectly clear to Coun- cil that they were not setting a particular location for the park site at this time. Mrs. Axelson said. “A park should be large enough to service the four subdivisions In the area, with an athletic field and recre- ation facilities.” ' Councillor Anstey stated that the homes would fall in the fifteen to twenty-two thousand dollar price range.

The financial arrangemumts require the sub- divider to supply all services. A small shopping centre is to be located on Bathurst street. The only cost to the township will be for education and Reeve Perry was confident that the new in- dustry around the railway yard would more than balance the new subdivision assessment. Regarding maintenance, etc., of a park, Councillor Lawson Mum- berson said costs of labour, build- ing and maintenance of parks is covered by grants. “As soon as the property is acquired â€" then that is the time to set up a com- mittee and get things organized.” he said. Reeve Clark advised the delegates to think about a five- member committee, in the mean- time. Correspondence Dealt With On being questioned, Reeve Perry confirmed that Fraser Creek in the Fraserdale: Farm property would be preserved as a green belt, as originally plan- ned but will have industry on both sides of it. High pressure water towers to supply water for the Metro area are also on the drawing board, although it is not yet certain just where in the township they will be located. Also undecided as yet is the exact route of the Spadina ave. extension. Reeve Perry admitted that all the gravel roads in the township were the worst they have ever been (not only those in the Thornhill area as some had as- sumed) but stated that they could not be repaired until they dry up. To some questions about drainage and ditches, Reeve Perry stated that culverts were included in the paving pro- grams for those streets which are to be paved but storm sewers could only be put in as a local improvement, to be paid for by the residents of the area served. Following Mr. Perry’s address, he was thanked by the president, Mr. Marks, and the meeting ad- journed.

Councillor John MacNeil inter- jected‘to state that the deputy- reeve and Councillor Watson are now on the present committees, “but act only as a liaison between the board and council, and they don’t take any active part on the board.” _ SCARBORO â€" Council passed a by-law on a recorded vote of 6 to 1 to pay Councillors $30 a day for attending council and com- mittee meetings.

STUART PAXTON WIRING LINE wonx Thornhill United Church held a busy week of activities last week. but again. the only facts avfilable to me were those given me by the busy minister. The Men’s Club had a dinner'meet- ing and was addressed by Mr. Fred Scale who “took a car apart for us and put it together again" -â€"-whether literally or figura- tively, I’m not sure. 0n Tues- day at 7.30 the WA. held a gen- eral meeting and after dessert and coffee were addressed by Mr. Minton Johnston of Thorn- hill Baptist Church. The ladies of the W.M.S. had been invited to attend the C.G.I.T. meeting for a re-affiliation service. In spite of more than eight phone calls, I was unable to get any more information about any of these meetings, all of which sound quite interesting and would make good reading for those unable to attend for one reason or another. I have sev- eral people's names in my rec- ords as “Press Secretary" but they are all uniformly elusive when I try to contact them. A large group from the church attended a Missionary Night meeting at St. Andrew’s United Church in Toronto on Thursday.
