The York County Planning Committee told county council last week it wants to confer with the Department of Municipal Affairs. before appointing a cown-ty planning director. If such a director were ap- pointed, he would aid in prepar- ing a master plan for the entire county. He would also act as an adviser to the municipali- ties which required assistance in 'his field. The. committee's report noted that "there is a great deal of planning work to he done In the county." The committee sent out ques- tionnaires to all 14 munici- palities. and discovered that while all of them have acâ€" tive planning boards. and building bylaws, many have either patchy zoning and planning, or none at all. Mrs. Rumble spoke in apâ€" preciation of council's choice of Mr. John Dew to Aurora and District High School Board this year and said it was the first time there had been a King City representative. uUnnecessary And Absolutely Ridiculous" - Merchants Rejected By County Council King City W.|.

In former years one per cent discount was allowed on the second instalment, and two per cent discount on the third instalment when payment of the whole amount of the current year‘s taxes was made on or be- fore the 30th of June. The idea behind the discount for prepayment was that by en- couraging taxpayers to make payment of the full amount in June the town saved in interest ‘on bank borrowing.
