King City Village Trustees last week resolved to write the Minister of Municipal Affairs requesting “that the legislation concerning annexation to police villages be simplified, or, failing that, that he assist this village in obtaining special legislation to this end.” 8 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, February 2, 1961 Conqreq Wants Ont.

Sale of the two churches at Strange and Eversley is enabling St. Andrew's Presbyterian con- gregation to pay off the mort- gage on the King City Church. it was oreported at the annual meeting. The final payment is now being made on the $5,000.00 mortgage undertaken In August, 1957. Net proceeds from the two churches came to $8,906.00 after fees for surveying and legal work were paid. J. Barrie Farm on North Keele St. Four registered lots fronting on Keele St. are in the village and sold. Mr. Gelleny asked if It was decided to continue the building fund and a reserve is being set up after the mortgage is cleared. The mortgage had been reduced to $2,100.00 at the end of 1960. A change was made 'in the original cemetery committee of Mr. Norman McMurchy. Mr. Whatley Finch and Mr. Donald McCallum. Mr. Finch, a member of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Nobleton, was succeeded by Mr. Wib. Burns. The committee is responsible for ensuring the church cemeteries at Strange and Eversley are suitably maintained for St. Andrew’s Church. Folloiving the meeting, the ladies served refreshments dur- lng the social period. St. Andrew’s Church Mr. Howard Clegg presided and the annual reports were adopted. During the year 11 new communicants joined the church. One member left by transfer and another died. Rev. Gordon Agar officiated at three baptisms and two weddings. Three retired from the board of managers, Mr. James Kerr. Mr. Charles Ross and Mr. Bruce Rawlings. Elected to the Board for a three-year term were Mr. Edward Munn, Mr. Bruce Rawl- lngs and Mr. Victor Potter. Mr. Arthur Bovair and Mr. Charles Ross resigned from the board of_trustees and were re- placed by Mr. John Walkington and Mr. Victor Potter. Also on the board of trustees are Mr. James Kerr, Mr. Robert Arbuckle and Mr. John Tanner. Seven ratepayers had turned out for the meeting in the fire hall. The chairman reminded the few who remained that trustees might be seeking the aid of rate- payers’ _groups in petitioning. Mr. Gelleny commented, “It’s foolish for the township not to have a full-time available engin- eer”. After hearing ratepayers' queries on the village water sup- ply, he noted, “The more water you take out of a table, the more farmers are affected then they have to buy it back." Mr. Findlay’s motion was pass- ed, “That the secretary-manager proceed to negotiate for the usual form of test-drilling options for the three locations south. north and east of the village as em- phasized in the resistivity report, the secretary-manager to report back from time to time upon the course of negotiations.” Urging a King City appointment to the high school board, Mr. Findlay wanted to know the effect on traffic of the new school. Mr. O’Reilly asked, “What difference will it make?” Mr. Findlay explained traffic may aflect police duties and “we have the problem of sizing up, the police budget now”. Mr. 0’-e Reilly felt that trucks were cre- ating as much traffic problem now at the high school as stud- ents will later. Mr. Bolton considered it was a minor point in dealings with the school board. “My idea is there is just so much policing we can afford”, said the chairman. Mr. Bolton earlier reported ’60 and ’61 trustees had met in mid- January with engineers of Inter- national Water Supply and Proc- ter and Redfern and it had ap- peared worthwhile to try test- drilling along low-lying ground just outside the village. Mr. Bolton favored waiting a month for a reply concerning legislation and if no short cut was forthcoming, then circulating the necessary petitions requiring signatures of two-thirds of the ratepayers. Another resolution passed was Mr. Findlay's motion that King City Council support the Mayors’ and Reeves’ Association resolu- tion to the Prime Minister, seek- ing an amendment to the income tax structure to exempt volun- eer fire-fighters from income tax for services to their munici- palities. Incorporated Board Mr. Findlay said the develop- ment would be requiring village water, fire protection, garbage collection and services. Mr. Gel- leny agreed, “It would be logical to be in the village, but we don‘t care and we don't want to be in- volved in politlcs". He said it made no difference to him who received the impost money us‘ual- ly paid as building permits are issued. Seek Signatures Mr. Bolton said, “We should annex this first. The lmpost mon- ey would help develop the new well faster". Mr. Findlay agreed the subdivision should be annex- ed and considered it another rea- son lllustrating‘ the need for sim- pler legislation. Mr. Bolton said he wished to correct an erroneous impression about incorporation. “Some people may have thought we were away to the races." He said village trustees were “thinking of becoming an incorporated board of trustees. This would extend our powers and give us a little wider scope. similar to the library board and school board”. He said there was a sur- plus of $1,500 in the building fund and over $2,000 for road re- serve. “We hope to pave North Keele Street this year". water would be available for 20 lots and was told he would be notified shortly. after trustees considered the matter. Mr. Findlay reported attend- ing the mutual aid meeting with King City Firemen at Mount Al- bert and said some preliminary discussions with firemen were not completed. Regarding winter maintenance of roads by township, 3 letter from Roads Superintendent Tom Arlidge assured trustees of the same service that worked satis‘ factorin since last March. He wrote he was always receptive to constructive suggestions. Mr. Bol~ ton said it was encouraging plow- ing and sanding had been done promptly without the village having to call about it.

Ditches A Hazard ‘ Works Commissioner Mr. O'~ Reilly reported investigating complaints of three Kingslynn ratepayers whose water-filled ditches with frozen surfacé wage considered a danger to children. “I‘m deeply concerned over the hazard”, he said, and was sup- plied with a copy of the agree- ment between subdivider and‘ township. Mr. Bolton felt a barricade would be a temptation to child-, ren and asked mothers to keep small tots away. Mr. W. H. Wood asked who would assume liabil- ity if a child drowned. Mr. Find- lay replied, “Neither village nor subdivider”. Mr. Wood insisted that trustees determine the res- ponsibility. He said he and two neighbours had sump pumps froz- en. Mr. Ron Keller asked trus- tees to check other ditches. Avoiding Debentures of the sale of 93,000 gallons of water in the ten-month period, between October 8, 1959 and August 1960, Mr. Kerr approved it going to farmers with dry wells around the area. Trustees agreed they had a moral responsibility and as soon as there is a break in the weather they will have the water cleared away with_ a compressor. Mr. Thor'npson said the dealer had been unaware of the emer- gency anql‘had >bee_n stopped as he w'as gettingrohev Vl-éaa'hgrégte: Mr. Kerr asked that the loader be told when there was an emer- gency. Afger hearing explanations Mr. Bolton explained until Valentine Acres is assumed, trus- tees might require a waiver so that any work done would not- be an “act of assumption". Water difficulties concerned several of the ratepayers present. Mr. John Kerr protested the drawing of water by an outside dealer when ratepayers did not have enough for household use. Solicitor J. D. Lucas be asked to supply samples of by-laws af- fecting urban culverts. Mr. Find- lay said the township by-law now in effect may not be suitable for urban use and the village may have to have one for enforce- ment. Trouble At Waterworks As public utilities commission- er, Mr. Bolton reviewed mech- anical difficulties in the water- works. He reported water was cut off 1% hours when the main broke near the Anglican Rectory. Failing pressure was caused by a heater fuse blown and “every- thing was frozen at the pump- house". The first pump, producing 50 gallons a minute, was used until the second pump was returned to working order. “Now eveyything . v-.. -... is backâ€"1n operatirdxvlflan'd there-libs no shortage of water". Ratepayers When residents questioned the summer restriction of lawn watering, Mr. Bolton said, “We could give you a good set-up if you wanted, but we’ve had a pay-as-we-go policy and are try- ing to keep rates and debenture debt down. There has been no debenture since 1948. We are goâ€" ing into test drilling and hope we don't have to debenture. Next we should have a $40,000 ele- vated tank." To avoid debt, the chairman did not think the res- trictlon bothered any one. Ratepayers were 'told “winter use of water averaged half to one-third of summer consump- tion. Mr. Ted Digel reminded that sand barrels dumped by child- ren needed refilling. He suggested a better design standpipe for the water valves in ditches. He con- sidered them dangerous if child- ren fell from their bicycles. Mr. Bolton sald they were standard style and in use all over Etobi- coke. Asked if Valentine Acres was likely to be paved, Mr. Findlay said, "Don't look for paved roads in this village". Mr. Bolton said second and third plans of Clear- view Gardens were being paved by the subdivider and the cost incuded in price of lots. Mr. Findlay added, “Roads in Valen- tine Acres are the best in the village". Ratepayers wanting to be pres- ent when Valentine Acres was inspected by the Department of Highways were advised to list points for consideration with See- retary Thompson since the tour might be made on short notice. No Paved Roads second and third plans of Clear- view Gardens were being paved by the subdivider and the cost incuded in price of lots. Mr. Findlay added, “Roads in Valen- tine Acres are the best in the village”. King City Trustees’ meetings are being held the second and fourth Mondays each month until December 11. Next meeting is scheduled for February 13 in the fire hall. * The constitution adds: “This association was not formed with the intention of undermining or in any way deter the operation of existing organizations. but to assist in the development of this area in conjunction with other organizations with a view to offering a united front to present to council all local prob- lems.
