McLean) - A group of eight ratepayers. the executive of the Concord Community Ratepayers Associa- tion. met with the Vaughan Township Council water com- mittee for the second time within the week on August 2nd. ‘ The group had been invited to meet with council members on July 30th as a result of their having sent to the council a written objection to the setting lip of the proposed new Water Area at Edgelcy. ‘ Their objection was based on the fact that the $200.- 000 approximate cost of the project seemed excessive in view of the estimate 0! 8136.000 given them last is the annual swim meet.

They had been ad- vised that financing by the OWRC could be done at 5.75%. The last debentures issued by the township had been at this same rate. Mrs. McConkey then invited Mr. Harris of the town- ship’s auditors to explain the details of OWRC financing. Explains OWRC Financing Mr. Harris explained that if the water area were developed by the OWRC the $200,000 would be repayed over a period as long as 30 years.

Mr. Harris stat-f ed that financial thinking on the1 theory of sinking funds was‘ somewhat divided. but that he felt about 60% of the thinking of informed persons was in fa-' vour of a sinking fund. Mrs. McConkey pointed out that if the OWRC fin- anced the water area that they would be in full con- trol of the system, that they would hire their own engi- neers. would call their own tenders. open and award them. “I would hate to see the control of our present water system taken out of the An exhibition of synchronised opIe Won't And as a veteran of several years‘ attendance at these meets. here's a word of advice to po-. tential spectators; bring your- self a chairâ€"the hill around the pool makes rather hard sitting â€"â€"and also bring a sweaterâ€"the hollow in the park seems to attract a heavy fall of dew which can become clamily un- comfortable as the evening pro- gresses.

Reeve Rutherford stated that Crothers had shown them plans for a proposed plant to cost one and a quarter million dollars which when complete would bring $100000 in taxes to the township every year. Crothers expected to start construction in October. he added. “What would be the effect if this group refused to withdraw its objections to the project?" enquired Mrs. R. M. McLean. Need Public Meeting Mrs. McConkey replied that unless the township could show the Municipal Board how they had satisfied the objections to the project, the board could call a public hearing. It might take ‘fields that will quite likely have in:- n. to be broken up again after harvest. A seeding that doesn‘t. catch. upsets a planned crop rotation badly. and it. takes some figur- ing to get back to the right bal- ance of grain and sod crops on a farm. One answer might be to seed hay mixtures in the fall with- out a nur e crop. Fall seeding often works well. but it is not usually as safe as in the spring and there are some precautions to take. The ground should be work- ed as early as possible to give sod or stubble a good chance to mix with the soil. A summer fallowed field is the best bet. Seeding has to be done early too. Late August or very early September is the best time. Where seed is put in late in September or early October the risk of fai'ure is very high. Lots of fertility is needed as y'ell. to get the plants well enough developed to stand the winter. What about seeding with successfully, but the risk higher than normal. Seeding earlier than would help. and putting in only the grasses with the the following spring has some Despite these extra risks i ‘fall seeding. it may be the only Ipractical answer to getting 1enough hay and pasture for ‘next year. And if it's well done ‘it can be quite successful. ) l 1 There is only one mixture ‘that definitely can‘t be fall seeded. Birdsfoot trefoil is‘ such a slow starter that it has to be put in the spring to get plants strong enough to live through the first winter. A year like this proves the value of putting on more ferti- (li7or in the fail rather than in the spring. With very dry \vca-l flier. crops were not able to usc‘ the full amount of spring ferti-l lizer. Fall application gets‘ around this problem. I Certainly. sod crops should. get their fertilizer in the fall} The practice of putting ferti-i lizer on in the fall for spring‘ .grain is sound too. 0-12â€"24. 0- 20â€"10 or 0-20-20 are good ferti-i lizers to put on in the fall forf either sod crops or as plow" down for spring grain.

This is to be paid for by water rates to consumers and a mill rate of four mills to the dollar (the maximum mill rate permitted for such a project). The present assessment at Edge- ley. in the neighbourhood of f$500.000. would only produce. ($2.000 per year out of the $18.- 000 annual cost of the water area. leaving $16000 per year .to be paid for by the rest of Vaughan Township ratepayers. The council justifies this, however. by the fact that the area to be served is an industrial area and the benefit from the assessment on any industries attracted to the area would be spread over the whole township. At their first meeting with the council. the Concord group had suggested that the waterl area might be financed morel ‘cheaply if the project wcreI under the control of the On-l .tario Water Resources Commisal ~sion. Mrs. McConkey. chairman‘ \of the waterworks committee} agreed to meet with the OWRCI 'as soon as possible and then meet again with the Concord V group to report to them. i At the Thursday. August 2nd? meeting. which was presided over by Mrs. McConkey as chairman of the water commit- tee. there was also presentl Reeve Rutherford. and Council-‘ | 'lors Kefi‘er and Windatt.

In an area considered to be‘ in a stage of rapid develop- ment, and which would thus have increasing assessment to draw from each year. the OWRC would permit a lower principal repayment for the first five years. The township would also be‘ required to set money aside in a sinking fund to act as a re- serve for the replacement and renewal of equipment. This amount would be :54. of 1% of the total cost of the project and it would also earn interest. When the sinking fund was ade-I quate for the repair or replace- ment of the system. it would not be added to further. It would also be required that‘ the township put a further amount of money aside each year to pay for the operation of the system. ‘ Township Financing If the system is controlled by} the township. however. Mr.‘ Harris stated that it would be financed by the issuing of de- bentures for a 20-year period. Interest on the debentures would be dictated by the mar- ket at the time of issuance. Hel prophesied that this would not likely be under 6% but could be as high as 7%. (York County debentures last week sold at 6.45% while as reported in last week‘s paper.‘ Markham TownShip accepted an? offer of 6% for the first 10 years and 61.4% on the second 10. years.) The operating expense would be carried by the township water department and the manage- ment of the system would he completely with the township. It would be up to the municiâ€" pality if they wanted to set up. a reserve fund.

L. Gilbert of Vaughan Blvd.. Concord. “And sen- timent has no place in mat- ters of finance.” In referrin'. to the cost of the project, the Concord delegation advised that they had been mis-ll led by the township's first ad-l vertisemcnt of the project which‘ had mentioned only the 4.490 feet of watermain to be con- structed. Subsequent advertisements. however. detailed the explora- tion, reservoir and equipment. Mrs. McConkey reported that their report. This would prob- ably delay the start of the pro- ject until next year. Mrs. McLean expressed the feeling that the Concord group would feel less inclined to ob- ject to the Edgcley system if they could have confidence that the township had an overall water plan which would include water for Concord at some fu- ture date. “I feel quite sure that the con- struction of the Edgeley system will mean that water is closer to Concord." stated Councillor Windatt. Mrs. McConkey advised that the township would have to have water in at the C.N.R. property by 1964 and would develop a ley.

The delegation was also in-. formed the project had not been planned just to serve the new plant to be constructed by the; firm of Geo. W. Crothers Ltd. at Highways 400 and 7. 0n the contrary. Mrs. McConkey advised that the project had been made necessary by the insistence of the OWRC that the town- ship improve the existing water system in the area by the improvement of the pumping station and the installation of iron removal equipment. Iron in the wa- ter had been forming ob- jectionable compounds with the chlorine to the extent well in the Keele Street area for this purpose. It was pos- sible that this water could be ‘extended to the Concord area at some time in the future. When asked why the recently discovered well at Concord. with a rated capacity of a million gal- lons a day could not be develâ€" oped instead and taken to the west. Mrs. McConkey advised ‘that this well would be the most expensive to develop and that it was more economical to de- velop a well in the centre of the populated area and carry it to the fringes. She advised the Concord ratepayers that they should meet with the Planning Board to ascertain what plans there are for future develop- ment in the Concord area.
