One woman wanted to know why she should have to help pay for the drainage system when her own street, located in Richmond Hill. was_ in need of repairs. At one point D. B. Redfern of Proctor and Redfern Consulting Engieers admitted that the drainage scheme as envisaged would not guarantee a 100 per cent flooding cure but that the wet conditions in Beverley Acres would largely be overcome when most of the streets have been hooked up. It was brought out during the hearing that The Hill’s five mil- lion dollar debenture debt. in- cluding self-liquidating debts, was not, in the light of the $30,- 000,000 assessment picture. a dangerous situation. One visitor, sitting quietly, muttered: “Broke, busted and bankrupt." Deputy-reeve James Haggart said that the financing method was “completely fair". and that all but one councillor had agreed to it. On a question by Mr. Plaxâ€" ton he said he had no way of measuring the income-status of the Beyerley Acres residents or whether the cost-division of the sewer project. on a lowâ€"income basis. was unjust. Other Points Mayor Ken Tomlin was his us- ual decisive, self-contained self. “I've been pursuing this prob- lem for years," he began, when the chairman interjected drily: “‘Or has it been pursuing you?" The mayor said the project should be dispensed with forth- with in the interests of everyone, that he was content that the 50- 50 payment proposal was just and that so far as he was concerned there was no evidence that any mistake had been made in the past, obviously referring to the 1956 agreement. At this point, K. G. Smith said: “What about the canals in Beverley Acres? Are they not evidence of a mis- take somewhere?” Mr. Tomlin disdained to answer. . Haggai-t Mr. Lucas confined hi self to saying that no council sh uld be held responsible for what might by some he termed lack of fore- sight. This , he said, would be setting a dangerous precedent, in- asmuch as then all councils could be held responsible (and through them all the taxpayers) for even a bit of sidewalk some- one might decide should have been built years back. Mayor Tomlin Town Solicitor Lucas and May- or Ken Tomlin sat stonin throughout and indeed, when Mr. Lucas rose to refute some parts of Mr. Plaxton's summary, ignored the Broadhurst broad- sides. Dangerous Precedent Councillor Broadhurst, who in- advertently fell foul of rules of procedure and could not avail himself of time to give his views, had them aired by Mr. Plaxton. Broadhurst discharged three shafts against the pro-cost meth- od faction. He said the work to be done was not a local improve- ment in the generally accepted sense of the term, but consisted of bringing up to normal stand- ards a set of conditions which were presently sub-normal be- cause of default on the part of council when the subdivision ag- reement was entered into; that council. having set up a special investigating committee more than a year ago to ascertain the responsibility for those adverse conditions, now had decided on the method of payment before any committee report had been made: that council was guilty of a.“conspiracy of silence". He claimed that until the previous Friday he had been denied ac- cess to information about re- ceipts and x disbursements from the subdividers' account. He said he believed that council's speci- fic refusal to make available the information to him was not only illegal but yet another instance of council suppressing essential information which might be of value to those opposing their method of payment. Broadhurst Warming up, he went on: “That subdivider not only sold the town down the river. but sold it the river as well." He also maintain- ed that the $494,000 in lot fees had saved Richmond Hill a con- siderable amount by obviating the need then to float debentures ‘for needed works, "This should be taken into consideration”, he said, to a murmur of agreement from the audience. Other than that, he went on, the proposed payment scheme would load the people least able to pay with the largest share and the soâ€"call- ed 50-50 split was deceptive be- cause, “in reality it probably will work out to a 60-40 split and possibly a 70-30 division of finan- cial responsibility. with Beverley Acres assuming the 70 per cent portion " Still further, falling values and rising annual costs al- ready constituted burdens enough without adding to them the re- sults of an unfair sewer-system payment plan. He said that aside from the fact that Beverley Acres had al- ready paid in $494,000 to the town coffers in lot fees, the av- erage owner, when he moved into the subdivision, had not been giv- en notice that a sewer system outlay would face him in future. “He neither elected council nor had any say in the sewer mat- ter,” Mr. Pluton maintained, adding, “now he is in effect be- ing penalized for council’s sub- dlvision-agreement error with the subdivider in 1956.” Municipal Bd. â€" (Continued from page 1) Mary Hooper, whose marriage to Howard Brumwell takes place September 17, is in a whirl these days.
