Meet Coming Events -§Vaughan Water Situation Demands Action By Councillors c1w33 at the when have Broc- a SHIRT SERYJEEHHIIIHHHHI u MIT E D Council decided to continue to thaw frozen water services with rented equipment and that ‘ rental cost should be apportioned according to the portion of the service connection that was froz- en. Councillor McConkey pointed out that the township is respon- sible for thawing the services from the box to the main, adding ‘ that the problem is considerably worse than last year when there i were only four calls for the thaw- ing service. The situation this year, though worse than last is not bad enough to warrant the township buying and operating its own equipment. Concord A further study is to be made of the water requirements in the Concord Subdivision at Dufierin Street. “The ratepayers’ associa- tion in Concord has asked us if we can do anything.” said Chair- man McConkey. “They are com- pletely without water there and have to bring it in in tanks. The ' association has agreed to make a : thorough investigation of the en- tire water situation in the, area and when we are in receipt of that information we will see what can be done." ' [ Elgin Mills A member of the Langstai‘f Community Association on hand on other business rose to the de- fense of the township‘s first lady. “After the five years were up, the township had to put in addi- tional machinery including puri- fiers,” he said, “and in my view the meter-fee and added costs to those using more than 1,000 gal~ lons per month is reasonable. The waterworks system must be paid for.” Mr. Collins wasn't satisfied. “The real estate boys should be made to pay part of the costs," he said.“ They make all the money. A subdivision should be fully: serviced before a single house is built on it." Said Coun- cillor M. Windatt: "This council has inherited quite a few prob- lems. We'll keep studying the situation.” Thawlng Service At the same time council dir- ected the township clerk to in- quire by letter from the Elgin Mills property owners as to'the adequacy of existing wells for the supply of water in that area. Steeles Avenue “Maybe it is. I don't know," replied Councillor McConkey. “Well, 1 know,” said Mr. Col- lins “Well, who do you think is go- ing to pay for the water?" asked the councillor. Waterworks Chairman Ruth McConkey said: “The meters are intended to spread more evenly the consumption costs among those who use more than their 36,000 gallons per year.” “It's too much," siaid Mr. Col- lins. has been no reduction while in fact the situatidn has wor- sened with the addition of the blasted meters.” Township officials also agreed that representatives of the water- works committee meet with rep- resentatives of the principals of Romdon Estates to discuss the Strong objections to the meter-installation price of $20.00 were laid by William Collins of Crestwood Road at Monday’s Vaughan Township council meeting and proved an unexpected part of a heavy Waterworks Committee ag- enda. Mr. Collins said the $20.00 meter fee plus the $36.00 per year for water represented an exorbitant outlay. “I don’t believe any community pays as much for water,’ he said. Mr. Collins also complained about a poor type connecâ€" tion which he said, leaked every time the water was turn- ed off and then on by the waterworks department in the line of duty. “We expected to pay $3.00 per month for a five-year period,” he said. “The five years are ‘up and there Present Sources Inadequate- PHIL.

Firm suggestions would be forthcoming soon for the final consideration of council, Road Allowance Council is concerned with a method to ensure that commercial buildings on property in that area will not be converted to residen- tial structures. Mr. Bousfield said there were various safeguards applicable :ncluding a zoning by- law, site plan agreements or regu- lations in the general land use by-law, and felt that the best 'ap- proach would be some additions to land use regulations.

Whitchutch Township Council, at their three hour Monday after- noon meeting dealt with every- thing from a careless driver from Saskatchewan to authorizing the payment of needed office equip- ment to gravel problems. land use questions and dead dogs. Council agreed that it would be in the interest of the township to straighten the north end of Bayview Avenue. To do so, how- ever, road allowance agreements mil have to be entered into be- tween Whitchurch and some prop- erty owners in the area. Back in 1908 a survey deeded a 50-foot road allowance to the township but a subsequent survey found that the thoroughfare was not travelling on the exact road al- lowance. One property‘ owner, Mrs. Millie Ash, said she would be willing to convey a 66-foot road allowance through her land WhitchurchToStrengthen General Land Use Laws water situation for the proposed recreational development in the Edgeley area.

Clerk John Crawford was auth- orized to get the legal and tech- nical balls rolling. Gravel It was decided lo let gravel tenders covering 25,000 tons, to give the roads committee under Superintendent Ernest Davis a chance to ready itself for neces- sary spring roadwork, and to chop the usual $1.000 perform- ance- bond to $500. Councillors Elsie Gibbs and R055 Farquhar- son took the View that while $1,000 might not be a burden for big operators it could be to the small fellows Council Has Busy Meetâ€" Reeve Cliff Wallwork agreed that this was a not unreasonable view. Clerk John Crawford said that it should be understood that the township set the bond at $1,000 after adjoining townships had been stuck by contractors who had been asked only for half the amount in bond money. When Mr. Davis, in reply to a question said he usually hung on to such bonds until the fall the reeve said: “With you handling that kind of money maybe we’ll need to bond you.” Following this laugh provoking sally council agreed that they would be satis- fied with a $500 performance bond.

Overspending ArgumentTkoait Auditor's Figures The question as to whether Markham Township had over- spent its 1960 road budget by $66,000 would have to wait until an auditor’s report was presented, declared Reeve Wilfred Dean on Monday afternoon as his council held its regular meeting. Council studied a request from the Junior Branch of the North York Humane Society requesting the installation of a concrete dis- posal tank in which the remains of canines could be disintegrated in lye or other suitable chemi- cals. The branch also suggested that the dog truck used to pick up strays be equipped with cages which could be individually re- moved.

Dead Dogs Deputy Reeve Lawson Mum- berson and Councillor Charles Hooper engaged in a verbal “has- sle” of some minutes‘ duration when application was made for part of the provincial subsidy for 1960. The flare-Aup marked a resumption of an oral battle which the two members engaged in some time ago. No question was raised as to the work itself but the method of seeking payment came under fire by Councillor Hooper. A con- siderable amount of provincial stadsidy was involved, he declar- e . Finally. the Vaughan Water- works Committee agreed to a meeting with the Markham Town- ship Waterworks Committee to discuss mutual arrangements that would be beneficial to both mun- icipalities. The meeting was ten- tatively scheduled for February 15, 10 am. in Vaughan Council Chambers. Both members of council fail- ed to satisfy each other with their figuring and the matter subsid- ed with a sort of unwritten un- derstanding that It will be re- vived as and when .auditor’s fi- gures are available.

It requires a mathematical bent. he says, but by the same token can help acti- vate this faculty where it lies dormant in the personality. There may well be some connection be- tween chess as it is widely played Councillor Maurice Wm- datt of Valighan Township went on record at the Febru- ary 13 meeting as being somewhat “disappointed that the Vaughan Township-Tor- onto Gore-Woodbridge rep~ resentative to the Metro To- ronto Planning Board was not a geographically neutral appointee." His recorded dis- appointment followed the of- ficial confirmation of ap- pointee Gordon Longhouse, Woodbridge. He said: I’m go- ing along with council in the confirmation and I do not question the worth of Mr. Longhouse. It was my view, however, that inasmuch as Vaughan Township and Woodbridge may be embroil- ed in annexation questions in future that the best interests of everyone would be best served by a completely neu- tral representative." For the past four years Vaughan has been represented on the Metro Planning Board. This year Woodbridge asked to be included in that represen- tation.
