[YORK - SIMCOE While the York Simcoe Home and School council had planned to have a workshop and convention in addition to their annual meeting in May this year, it was decided at their Aupril executive meeting, held in Richmond Hill on April 5th, to relinquish these plans in favour of a similar workshop being held by the federation on May 26th. In its place council's annual meeting will this year be held at the Yangtze Pagoda Restaurant in Richmond Hill, on May 17th, at 7 pm. It will be in the form of a banquet, with Chinese food available for those who want it, and will be follow- ed by a panel discussion on the subject: “What Did You Get this theme is of particular in- terest to home and school as- sociations in this area. many of which are recently formed and do not fully realize the faci- lities available through their council, nor then-eed for such a council. There will be ample opportunity for a full discus- sion on this subject following the installation of a new ex- ecutive, and it is hoped each association will have full re- presentation at this banquet. Tickets at $2.25 are available through each individual home and school association and should be ordered before May 7th. Full participation in this program will make the area council more meaningful to its membership. Trustee Joseph Rablnmv-itch disagreed with the board's de- cision to award the contract to W. J. Lee, stating, “We have a policy to help local contnactors. We are paying out public mon- ey, but if we have a policy where we have a local contrac- tor who is doing business in our town. we are not taking money The second lowest bid, from David Farn Construc- tion, in the amount of $148,000 was not considered. It had a September 22 completion date. But the bid pres- ented by W. A. Stephenson & Sons was given extensive consideration by the board, since it is board policy wherever possible to employ local contractors, if the figure is within five per cent of the lowest bid. W. A. Stephenson & Sons submitted a basic tender in the amount of $153,800.00 with August 15th as its com-i pletion date. 1 The young westerners attract~ ed the most attention. Bllleted with Richmond Hill families they were showered with hospit- ality and taken on trips to Casa Lorna and to Niagara Falls. Team mentor, Rusty Oliver. Highest bid came from Glendale Supply, with a figure of $161,128, and a September 22nd completion ate. The bid presented by Lee had an estimated date for completion of August 15. The Lee firm built the original Crosby School. Award Contract For. Extension To Crosby Heights Public School Heated discussion, on the part of a local contrac- tor, followed Richmond Hill School Board's decision to accept the lowest basic tender, that of W. J. Lee Construction, Lorne Park, in the basic amount of $146,448.00, for the proposed addition to Crosby Heights Public School Thursday night of last week.

There will be ample‘ opportunity for a full discus-l sion on this subject following the installation of a new ex- ecutive, and it is hoped each association will have full re- presentation gt this banquet. ‘ Trustee Mrs. Irene Castle in- terjected to say, "It would take a lot of taxes to get back a de- benture debt of an additional $7,500. While we like to give business locally, we owe it to the taxpayers to give the tender to the lowest bidder. Five peri wlfihout getting it back in taxes." Once again the western town raised money for the trip through service club activities and by donations from merch- ants and private individuals.

Against, Trustees Knott, Hutcliison and Rabinowitch. The contract was awarded to W. J.

Trustee Irene Worreli then moved the vote on the motion to accept Lee's bid be recorded. and Trustee Mrs. Ruth Castle seconded. The board short one member with the absence of Trustee Donald Piaxton, voted as follows: For, Chairman San- derson_ anti Trustees Castle. ‘ School Superintendent Gor- don MacIntyre advised the board that he would have to notify the department if the lowest tender was not accepted. and explain the reason. He said the department would have to decide whether they would pay a grant on the difference; "If it were a difference in an earlier date they might pay for a higher bid.” Both closing dates were the same. ‘ Recorded Vote After Mr. Rabinowltch ex- pressed concern for turning down the local contract, Trustee Mrs. Castle said, "I would like to agree with you, but there are a lot of people finding it diffi- cult to meet their taxes, and we should keep the costs down." Advise Province Trustee Ron Fir-man inter- jected to move that the board consider this matter of the pav- ing cost later and accept Lee’s basic bid. Trustee Mrs. Castle seconded the motion. Trustee Rabinowltch: "Since the final cost is so close we should give pm- local people the job." Trustee Castle: "-1an it our gegggnsibility to take the lowest cent isn't much, when you are Walking about fuel oil." Trustee Rlabinowitch: “I'd like to find ou’c about the paving cost first." Mr. Pearson of Hanks, Irwlne. 8: Pearson, arch‘ltects for the school addition. stated, “It local people have a five per cent ad- vantage, there is no sense In bidding.” Trustee Rabinowfich pointed out that Stephenson had put in a firm bid for paving tn the am- ount of $8,500; whereas W. J. Lee was changing $3.10 a square yard. Slnce there is an estimated 4,000 square yards of paving to be done, he said, the final price would be much highâ€" er. "Leave the paving out," Trus' tee Mrs. Castle advised, "wt might get it done cheaper our: selves.” bid’ Throughout tihe diay, Miss Allencourt Lanes, Janet Roys- ‘ton, gave away hundreds of moses to lady visitors to Allen- count Lanes.“ Young bowlers were fed and entertained in a most eificient manner, a tribute to the organization behind the event. A welcome innovation was the name card of each team suspended over the lane on which each‘ team was how- ling. By any standard the tour~ nament was a model of efficien- cy and organization with plans already under way for next year’s event. 1 Chairman Sanderson con- cluded this part of the dis- cussion by stating it was not board practice to put another contractor in while the building contractor was still on the Job. “In my five years on the board,” he de- clared. “most of our pav- in;r has been done six months later than the school. And, if we wanted to be technical, you didn’t list sub-trade names in your bid and your bender could have been disallowed.” Girls high single game was a 278 bowled by petite Linda Perks of Aprl'be Lanes. George Louvel of Ajax bowled 301 to take down high single honours in the boys group.

Richmond Hill Unit CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY 9n ‘ Mr. Eric Jorgensen of the firm of Crysler, Davis and Jor- gensen, consulting engineers for Markham Township outlined the township's plan for the storm sewers, indicating that they would cost an estimated $360,- 000. There had been consider- able trouble with surface draim age because the subdivision is situated on the side of a hill with a very steep grade on the east and north-east sections. The new subdivision put in re- cently to the east of the High- land Park Subdivision had been required to put in both storm and sanitary sewers and their storm sewers had been built large enough to handle the flow from Highland Park. Mr. Jor- genson stated that if storm sew- ers are not installed in Highland Park. the surface water will be directed into the sanitary sew- iers, the flow from which is re- ‘ceived and treated by Metro 1Toronto at a cost of 17¢ per ‘thousand galloons to the town- ship. “For this reason, we are anxious to see storm sewers pro- ivided here.” he stated. i In her submission to the‘ board, Mrs. James included let- ‘ters from various residents in her neighbourhood, setting out ‘their costs for interest and prin- cipal on their mortgages and their rtaxes; she also included‘ advertisements for new homes‘ in various areas purporting to“ show that these costs were much higher elsewhere. Total Cost 3360.000 “Does anyone actually know what percentage of people ac- tually need the storm sewers?" enquired Mr. Roger Priestman of 70 Grandview Avenue. “I am speaking as a layman and I don't know." Mr. Priestm-an then stated, "There is a saturation point in taxes rtoo. My taxes last year were $430.00. Storm and sanitary sewers will bring them up to about $700.00." Several other persons indi- cated that they agreed with Mr. Priestman and that they were opposed to rthe sewers because of the cost. Mrs. Norman James of 16 Grandview Avenue took strong objection to this. ‘This man is not an engineer," she stated. "The township engineer has spent thousands of dollars work- ing out a drainage system.”‘ Mrs. James pointed out that her home was to the north and west of Mr. Dobson's. on high land and that storm sewers were needed in that area. She filed with the board a series of pie- tures showing flooded conditions surrounding her home and stated that the ground there was still saturated. Taxes Would Hit $700.00 "Yes," replied Mr. Dobson. “I am {layman In my ignor- ‘ance I worded it that way”. He then went on to explain that none of those who had signed it were opposed to the storm sew- ers down where they were needed in the low-lying areas. Mr. Dobson was subjected to ‘sharp cross-examination by Township Solicitor J. D. Lucas, with respect to the “petition”, or signed “expression of opin- ion,” as Mr. Dobson preferred to call it. "What does this mean “as presently proposed." Mr. Lucas asked. “Is this your langâ€" uavge?" Mr. Dobson also pointed out that many of the people in the subdivision had installed their own culverts, many of which were inferior, and that there has been no maintenance on them. This created a drainage problem, as did the fact that there had been a complete lack of grading and maintenance of ditches in the subdivision. "There had never been a town- ship spade or shovel in my ditch at any time,” he insisted. “Let the township put a grade- all machine in and grade the ditches for the first time in twelve years." Cross Fire In speaking in opposition to the storm sewers, Mr. G. D. Dobson of 55 Highland Park. stressed that there were many people in the subdivision who neither needed or wanted the storm sewers. To illustrate this, he had personally taken a state-‘ ment that the installation of‘ storm sewers "as presently pro- posed" was not desirable, to 24 homes in his block and 21 out of 24 householders had signed it. It was Mr. Dobson's conten- tion that this could have been duplicated on other streets in the subdivision, although he conceded that the majority of the people in the subdivision probably would not feel the same way. “My contention is," he stated, "that 50 per cent of the area is high and does not have the problem peculiar to the_1mg-lying area". Highland Park Storm Sewers Receive Mizssdfieseetionfitfl Public Hearing Opposed [Municipal Bd. Reserves Decision Mr. Lucas filed with the Municipal Board a copy of a resolution passed by the township council that mom- lng to the efl'ect that in the event the application was opproved, the council would For over three hours, Municipal Board Commis- sioners R. L. Kennedy and J. V. Ludgate, heard evi- dence on the proposed installation of storm sewers in Highland Park Subdivision, Thornhill South, at the Markham Township Municipal offices on Friday morn- ing, April 27th. “The subdivisions around us are away above our? standards. Are we to become a little island, a slum area?" asked Mr. R. E. Briggs of 118 Highland Park Blvd, speaking in support of the installation of the storm sewers. “Storm sewers will let us have dry base- ments,” he went on. “Further, flooded ditches are often three to four feet deep with thin ice on top and they are a hazard to children.” Mr. Briggs pointed out also that most of the houses in the subdivision were built in 1948 and were about half paid for, so the cast of the sewers would not be burdensome. Several others present signified their agreement with Mr. Briggs' submission. BILL DING says: BOWDEN [UMBER Co. (Home Improvement Division) Stop 23 Yonge St. Richvale AV. 5-4921 - TU. 4-11 Evenings: Craig Bowden TU. 91668 ‘ Mrs; James queried whether' this subdivision on the side of a hill, with septic tanks andl open d-i/cches was not unique‘ and Mr. Mild-as answered thati it was and added that it would not be peljmitted today. Mr. Mlkl‘as felt that 'the estimâ€" ated cost of $58.00 per year for Mr. Miklas also testified that the water mains are laid in part under the ditches and are not sufficiently covered, their cov- ering in fifteen tests made, rang- ing from two feet to four feet, four inches. The problem arose, 'he stated, from deepening the ditches and because the ditches were set back once. As a result, they had considerable trouble with water connections freezing. “There is no way we can go ahead with the paving in this area." he stated. “Without storm sewers it would seem a waste of money." To a question from .Mr. Dobson, he admitted how- ever that there were- other paved roads in the township; without storm sewers. Mr. Dob-1 son queried whether the erosion of the road was not rather be-' cause of lack of maintenance by; the township than from flood- ing. “Our roads were surface, treated until the last two years; when the township stopped trea-, ting them and they are nowi gravel," he stated. 4 Mr. Dusan M-iklias, the town- ship engineer testified that the freezing ~oi! culverts caused a severe drainage problem and caused the roads to be flooded. Also because of erosion of dit- ches, the roads were only ap. proximately 22 feet wide. During ‘the months of February and‘ March of this year, the town- ship h-ad spent $2,076.00 on steaming culverts, and grading and gravelling the roads because of erosion. - u... u uuuu be raised by a frontage tax of 60¢ per foot which would bring in an estimated $15,180 per year: an annual charge for ser- vice connections of $7.55 which would bring in $3,020.00; and a mill rate on assessed property of seven mills, which would produce $1887.00. High Cyst Maintenance pave the roads in the sub- division to I width of 28 feet at the cost of the town- ship. Mr. Jorgensen indicated that storm and sanitary sewers should be constructed at the same time as this would result in a saving of $35 to $50,000. The $360,000 estimated cost was based on the two systems being built at the same time, but does not take into account any in- crease in construction costs. He anticipated that there would be a subsidy of at least $75,000 against the roads. curbs and catch-basins, resulting in a tax levy of $285,000 for the work. Water Resources 7 Commission The work would be financed thmugh the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission and the cost to the township would be $26.- 087.00 per‘ annum.

TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK Citizens TU. 4-1121 In summing up, Mr. Lucas recognized that there was a good deal of opposition to the storm sewers but the township must get on with the installa- tion of the sanitary sewers Furthermore, the engineers did not see any feasible way in which storm sewers could be put in only part of the area. but they would have to be done on the plan submitted by the en- gineers. The evidence showed, he said that there was consider- able need for storm sewers by some, while others did not need them. “But this condition exists in every type of public service," he insisted. pointing out that when water was pro- vided there were many who did not need it but for the good of the whole, they had to pay for it anyway. Mr. Lucas also noted that it was important to get storm sewerage out of the unitary sewer system as it was exported to Metro Tor- onto on a metered basis and cost the township money. He pointed out also. that the property values would be increased by this eX< penditure of taxes and that the township would further increase the value of the property by puttingr in the road paving. “This decision has not been taken lightly by the council. We would ask the board not to inter- fere with the council's de- cision.” He added, how- ever. that the council had received fourteen letters from ratepayers, nine op- posing the storm sewers and five approvinz them. Commissioner Kennedy de- clared the hearing closed at 1:15. and stated that the board would reserve its decision. 0n the question of the poor drainage being corrected by maintenance of ditches, Mr. Mikl-as stated that the problem was three-fold. First. the dit~ ches go over the watermains which creates the problem of connections freezing; secondly, much of the water in the dit- ches comes from tiles leading from sump holes and if proper drainage was restored in the ditches, quite a number of these drains would be disturbed; and‘ thirdly; the steep grades make the runoff very fast which cre- ates an erosion problem which could only be controlled by pos- sibly paving some of the dit- ches. a 50 foot lot with a $3,000 Es- sess-ment was a reasonable cost for the service provided.

Duties of the new as- sistant will include building in- spection, by-law inforcement and general planning and build- ing department work.
