. ERIE Brown Catches Big Richmond Hill Fisherman L Hope To Solve Schoo! l ,Site By End Of Week At its regular Monday night meeting this week, Vauhan Town- ship Council agreed to try to ex- pedite negotiations between the township school board and Lomax Construction Company in order to allow for construction work on the company’s proposed sub- division in Elgin Mills Mrs. D. Bishop, who appeared before council, said that time was run- ning out for this season’s work- period for the ZOO-lot subdivision on the north side of Elgln Mills Sideroad. While Mr. Brown waited impat- iently to get into his woodlot, he began recalling other occasions. A couple of seasons ago fishermen entered the Norman Bell proper- ty. acr'oss the road, built a fire, had a supper of fish. then left the gate open when they departed. Mr. Bell was called out at mid- night to round up 40 head of cat- tle wandering on the hlghway._ Elmer' Brown decided on a plan of action. Behind his tractor was a trailer on which was a heavy log. This load was driven across the narrow lane in such a man- ner that the fisherman's auto was trapped between the gate and the trailer. About two o'clock the fisherman emerged rftom the buspes. As Mr. Brown waited he got madder - and madder. First. he was annoyed because the lane was blocked into his woodlot. Second. he was vexed because the fisher- man pald no attention to his calls. Third, he was mad when he re- membered his ‘No Fishing” signs Sad been torn down the day the shing season opened. Midnight Roundup In ‘a family journal such as this we cannot report the lan- guage used in the argument that ensued. As the situation now stands, the school board has been unable to decide whether it wants a school site within the subdivision 0" outside it. The developer has agreed to provide the board with a site either within its boundar- ies or on adjacent land, at cost, and to provide services to the school. The township has held up signing a subdivision agreement with the firm until the school has indicated by letter to the developer that it accepts the of- fer. Board He: Had Plenty of Time to Make Decision Among other things that hap- pened, the fisherman. a husky The farmer shouted for the fisherman to come out of the woods and move his car. But the only answer came from the birds. It was a hot sunny agternoon, the first fine day in a couple of weeks. Elmer Brown, Glenelg far- mer drove down the county road and intended to go into his wood- l'ot to skid out some logs. Councillors Bruce Ralph and Wilson Anstey were vigorous in their contention that the board has had plenty of time to make up its mind. They were in favour of relieving the deve‘oper of the obligation to secure the letter, but without releasing it from its obligation to pr0vide the site. De- puty-reeve Victor Ryder, who was in the chair in the absence of Reeve John Perry, declared. in favour of the nays to break a tie vote. However the lane intovthe wood lot was blocked by an auto which obviously belonged to a fisher- man. ‘ “A certain Richmond Hill fisherman probably won’t return to saugeen Valley trout streams,” says the Durham Chronicle in a recent issue, “not after his painful experi- ence Monday afternoon”. In reporting the incident, The Chronicle said, “The incident took place six young business man, offered to miles north of Durham, a few fight Farmer Brown. Mr. Brown hundred yards east of Highway 6, pointed to his dog and warned: on the county road to Markdale. “If you touch. inf: that dog will Upshot of the spirited debate was‘ that council would try to effect a speedy settlement of the negotiations by the end of the week so that the subdivision agreement could be signed and construction proceeded with. The construction company was asked to present council with a break- down of the costs of a school site Tuesday afternoon. Lomax agreed to this proposal, express- ing the hope that the subdivision agreement could be signed by Friday. Richmond Hill School Board Elgin Mills Subdivision Council told a delegation from the Richmond Hill Public School Board that relative to the pro- posed -1.000-foot drainage ditch for .Pleasantville Public School, negotiations need not be enter- ed into between Richmond Hill and the township Deputy-reeve Ryder and Councillor Ralph told the school board chairman and vice-chairman, L. D. Clement and H. D. Sanderson the matter was one strictly oetween the‘noard and the property owners who had agreed that the ditch could be cut on their land. The Richmond Hill School Board members ap- peared before council, they said, to clear the legal air. acting on the principle that a stitch in time would save nine. The Pleasant~ ville school site is to be annexed by Richmond Hill to facilitate proper hydro and water hook- up to the school. Road Maintenance Council agreed to a request from a Mr. L. Davidson, new owner of Denta Construction‘ Company that changes be made in a road-maintenance bond for Dufferin Street. Origiwalli‘ a $10,000 bond agreement had been reached between the townshipl The farmer calculated the rate at $1.25 an hour for himself, a dollar for his son (who made the phone calls and minded the trac- tor), three dollars an hour for the use of the tractor â€" and 25c discount for prompt payment. The fisherman was willing to admit he was in the wrong in blocking the lane for an hour (from one tlll two) but he thought five dollars an hour was too high a price. While all this was taking place a little birdie told the Chronicle a farmer had caught a fisherman with a tractor. As the sun moved across the blue sky. and supper time ap- proached, the fisherman. too, was growing anxious. He also made a trip to the Bell farm house (on foot. of course) to telephone the police. The pouce were not ruflfing into the fray. Possibly they as- sumed it was up to the owner of the property to lay a charge of trespassing. During the course of the after- noon the farmer offered to permit the fisherman to go free if he would pay a levy of five donars The fisherman balked. He would not pay. Dufferin Street in the Township. Of this bond, $5,000 has been paid. Mr. Davidson said that he had taken over all the assets and obligations of Pemier Aggrigates through Denta Construction; He proposed that in lieu of the seâ€" cond $5,000 being paid to the Township, that the township avail itself of his company’s large trac- tor for grading purposes when- ever such was felt necessary. Mr. Davidson said that further be was willing to sign an amend- ment to the original agreement reimbursing the Township for work done by it if the grader should not be available. Council felt it should go along with the proposal. Go-Cart In the meantime Mr. Brown sent his young son to the Bell farm to telephone the provincial police at Owen Sound. According to the boy, the police promised to send a man right away. And so the men glared at each other, one at each side of the log -â€" at loggerheads. Bell Telephone Half an hour later the boy made another long distance call. This time. he said the police at Owen Sound promised to send a con- stable from Markdale. Another step toward the set- ting up of a go-cart race track in the township may have been ta- ken by council. Council instruct- ed Mr. N. Austin, new manager of Maryland Gardens, south of No. 7 Highway on the west of No. 400 to provide it with a drawing of the proposed setup. Council indicated while it would not promise anything, it would review the case. ‘ “If you touch m'e that dog will tear you apart.” The dog wagged his tail in agreement. Mr. Austin has explained that the township’s legal, police and fire departments had given him their approval relative to a pro- posed kiddies' land and conces- sions, dealt with council a week earlier. He said he now requested building permission to provide for a _new first aid station, a change room for swimmers and an amendment to the by-law governing race tracks. The go-cart track, if finally ap- proved. would be for the use of private clubs. not spectator sport. It would provide an enclosed children's track capable of me- ing up to only 10 or 12 miles an hour. and a bapked track for adult racing. Council granted the building- extension permission, said it would hold its collective opin- ion on the go-cart question in abeyance until the blueprints had been studied. but indicated there would be no change in the by- law which now insists on a 5500 license fee for the operation of a track. Engineer's Report Council heard a delegation from the Normaple Community Club requesting an engineer's re- port as to the cost of paving in the new subdivision, and promis- ed action. Kerr Bridge On a request that the Kerr Bridge approaches, on the sev- enth concession north of Maple Sideroad, be sodded, council felt that the township could not at- ford such a project which would run into the thousands. How- ever, it agreed to see if something else could be done toward im- proving the appearance of the ap- proaches. Survey The roads committee will be asked to make a survey of the Elder Mills railway crossing with a view to seelng what might be done to improve pedestrian pro- tection.

Give and Take He was late for supper and he didn't have a fish â€"â€" not even a little one. The Richmond Hill fisherman (we have his name but we'll spare it) suffered on account of prev- ious fishermen who had left gates open, broken down fences, 'and torn down signs. As the Chronicle publisher turned to head for home, Mr. Brown and Mr. Bell said they wished to order a fresh supply of "No Fishing - No Trespassing" signs." Perhaps anxious to avoid ma- king 3 national issue out of a local incident. the fisherman handed a ten dollar bill over the log counter, while Farmer Brown handed over a five dollar bill in change. As soon as the log-laden tractor was clear, the fisherman roared out onto the road and sped away towards the highway. From his big new car he managed a smile and a wave of the hand. Late For Supper V This transaction completed, Mr. Brown signalled to his son to move the tractor. ‘ ELECTRC AND _ M. in APPLIANCES Ltd. TIL4-5 ‘ ONGE ST.
