A second Markham Township case, that of Lewis Wesson of Ot- tawa. resulted in a fine of $175 and $8.50 costs and a six-month suspension against accused. The magistrate said he would recom- mend that Wesson‘s license be returned at the end of three months. Police told the court that on March 28. at 3.15 pm. the Wes- son car struck another in the rear at Bayview and No. 7 Highway, that accused had all the symptons of being impaired and that a sub- sequent test confirmed the factt that Wesson was in no condition! to be handling a vehicle. Agent 1‘ When the court officer calledl the name of Archie Mott. Mark-t ham Township. who faces a charge of driving while disquali- fied to do so. a young woman, Joanne Wilson. stepped forward. “I request permission to speak on Mott's behalf." she said, add- ing that she had been driving the. car which was involved in Mott'sl arrest on March 24. Said the‘ magistrate: “As his agent. you will instruct Mott that he is rem quired to appear here on pain of arrest. I’ll remand proceedings to April 24.’ Said Miss Wilson: “He's just acquired a new job and does, t not wish to lose time." The magis-; trate said coldly: “I hope I made myself clear?” The girl nodded, said meekly: “Yes, Sir." I Good Try l ?St. Catharines Man Draws 45 Days sMenace To Safety, Magistrate Says Catharines.

Hollin- rake of the Newmarket Court told accused: “In the past you have been fined. sentenced to one 30-day jail term. and received sharp warnings from the police; You are paying no attention to .the law. You're a menace to the safety of people at large. I’m sending you to jail for 45 days.” Accused looked stunned. “Isn’t there a fine?" he asked. “None,” snapped the cadi. who also order- ed the car involved impounded. The car was registered in the name of Rowatt’s wife who, fol- lowing pronouncement of sen- tence. left the court disconsolate and alone. 1 Hundred Attend Meeting The overall troublesome water question for the Elgin Mills area was given a thorough going over when an estimated 100 residents poured into the Vaughan Town- ship Municipal Building at Maple for a meeting with council last Tuesday. Upshot of the lively meeting was the formation of a six-member committee from a- mong the delegation. whose pur- pose would be to set in motion the formation of a full-fledged ratepayers' association which in tulrn would again meet with coun- c1 . Questionnaires Sent A routine car check in Rich- vale by Vaughan Township Police on the afternoon of April 10 led to a 45-day jail sentence on Mon- day for Robert Rowatt, 24, of St. A second charge of driving while under suspension, laid by Markham Township Police against 25-year-old Robert Shearer of Port Bolster on April 9 also brought a conviction and sent ac- cused to jail for seven days. Police said that Shearer was picked up south of Markham Village, while the crown said Shearer had been convicted for impaired driving in September. 1959. Accused, in ex- planation of his April 9 infrac- tion, said lamely: “Well, your Worshp, there was no one else able to drive the car." .5175 and Costs More than one month ago coun- cil. through its waterworks com- mittee headed by Councillor Ruth McConkey, sent out 150 questionâ€" naires, seeking to clarify the water situation. Eighty four ques- tionnaires came back. and of this number of consumers 39 reported they had sufficient supplies. Mrs. McConkey, in discussing the mat- ter with “The Liberal." said: “Many were interested who want- ed first of all to know the cost of bringing water into that area. We had a map drawn up by our en- gineer which showed that those really in need of water lived in the section from Yonge Street to Regent Street North, Elgin Mills and south on Regent Street and along Oxford Street from Yonge to Regent. We decided to call a meeting and I must say the re- sponse was overwhelming." Many “Beets” Heard Ernest Rhule of Oak Ridges made a good try at explaining why he should not be convicted of a Vaughan Township Police‘ charge of having liquor in a place other than his residence at 1.20 am. on March 21. Accused ad- mitted that when the car in which he was a passenger on Elgin Mills was checked out by police that he had a bottle of liquor. “But it was a full bottle.” he insisted. adding that it was true the seal was broken. He said he had ab- sently-mindedly twisted the cap. He said he had appeared at court on the day instructed by police. only to be informed that the day in question was a court holiday. On this basis, he said. he felt the case against him should be dis- missed. He said he bought the liquor at Willowdale but couldn’t remember the time of day the purchase was made. The magisn irate. after thoughtfully surveying 3 accused. said: “Ten dollars and' $18.50 costs. or 10 days." Accused‘ said he was unemployed and re- quested a few weeks to dig up the money. The request was sum-‘ marin denied. ‘ Old Case 1 Water Problem Brings Big Turnout Of Residents Of Elgin Mills Area Twenty-seven-year-old Robert Long. Richmond Hill was central and losing figure in a careless driving charge which had been hanging fire since November 27. Police testified Long‘s car had smacked into the rear of a parked A£ one point, the meeting turn- Monday. at council‘s regular meeting, the administrators ac- cepted two recommendations made by the Waterworks Comâ€" mittee. Council agreed to make representation to Richmond Hill lrequesting a supply of water for lanticipated consumers in the E1- gin Mills area. and agreed that Vaughan assist the York County Health Unit to conduct a survey and test of water from the ex- isting local wells in the same area. ed into a regular “beefing” ses- sion, with several among the visi- tors complaining about garbage collectons. water pollution and other matters. Council pointed out that so far the garbage was con- cerned. that was a private matter restricted to the residents who contract with persons engaged in the sanitation business, while the water pollution “beef” would have to be directed to the York County Health Unit at the discre- tion of the residents. At a still to be specified date. the Waterworks Superintendent and the Township Clerk will meet with area spokesmen, who are Chas. Taylor, Jack Sheppard, Keith Sully, John Ward. P.

Long said the accident was unavoid- able. as he had pulled off the street to avoid being struck by one of two cars which were rac- ing up the street side by side. The accident occurred at 2.40 a.m.. some time after Long had taken his girl friend home. When he was asked by the magistrate if he had ever run foul of the law traffic~wise before he said amiably: "Might have had one or two accidents in the past. I can't really remember." Whereâ€" upon the magistrate, in an equally amiable tone said: $50 and costs of $19.50." When it transpired that Long was hard up for im- mediate funds but expected to start on a job next day the cadi said: “I’ll give you time. Tell you what. You can pay the first $30 by April 24 and the rest by May Whether the entire prqblem will lead to a debenture issue. and when this might arise, still is largely a matter of conjecture but indications are that something of a tangible nature will be work- ed out between the Elgin Mills area consumers and the township. M. Campbell. Markham Town- ship. paid $10 and costs of $17.50 for having two open bottles of beer in his car recently. Markham Village Police who made the ar- rest, did not have the correct pic- ture, accused intimated. He said that he had a friend in his car when one of his tires went. “I went into the hotel but couldn't get a room,” he went on. “and decided to sleep in the car. My friend opened the beer.” “Your friend opened two bottles for himself?" asked the magistrate. “Yes Sir.” said Campbell. with a straight face. The magistrate shook his head and brought down the conviction.

Teston. was nicked $10 and costs of $18.50 for having a partly full bottle of rum in the glove compartment of his car when stopped by Vaughan Township Police on March 18 at 10 pm.
