Agriculture representa- tive in Newmarket, county farmers he had talked to didn’t have any worries about their fall whent crops. York County farmers have not yet pushed the panic button in the face of threatened c o n t i n u e d drought 1nd higher than av- lze temperatures. Mr. Arnold said, however, i! the situation continued for two or three weeks, the picture might change. According to other re- ports, some Ontario farm- ers have been forced to pay as much as 10 cents a gallon for irrigation water. York farmers are in the most cases using drilled wells for irrigation. York has a fairly large percentage of its agricul- tural land plowed in fall wheat, Mr. Arnold said. A longâ€"term lack of rain would also affect next year’s hay crop. The hot dry weather in Western and southwestern Ontario has made plough- ing difficult, curtailed cheese production, created a sugar beet storage prob- lem, and threatened the wheat crop. In northern Ontario, the drought has created a serious {ire haz- ard. ’leisagree With Markham Council‘iNo A delegation of unhappy Glen Crest subdivision ratepayers went to Markham Township Council Monday night but came away even unhappier. They were protesting the township planning board's rec- ommendation not to reduce lot sizes in the subdivision north of Laureleaf Road and south of the CNR railway to 60-foot frontages, Councillors in a recorded vote stood by the recommendation of their planning board and re- jected the application. Voting against reducing lot sizes were Deputy-reeve Allen Sumner and Council- lors Charles Hoover and Stewart Rumble. In favour was Reeve Charles Hooper. The application has been bouncing back and forth from planning board to council. with JV B. Conlin, representing the subdivider. attempting to con- vince council it should over- rule the former's recommenda- tion. Residents feel if lots imme- diately south of the “eye-sore" CNR tracks could be reduced in size they could be sold at a reduced price. The homes would then provide a buffer zone between the tracks and higher-priced property imme- diately north of Laureleaf Rd. At the present time, the pro- perty owners feel the develop- ment of the subdivision is be- ing held back by planning board’s refusal to co-operate. A minor cut-and-thrust ses- sion between some councillors and ratepayers -enlivened pro- ceedings to some extent. A ratepayer said he could not see why council and planning board were opposed to the ap- pllcatlon. g A ROLLINSON L-x-----x-_«mm-“--~.«d Deputy-reeve Sumner. a representative on planning board, commented people in other areas were not stopped by railway tracks in purchasing property sim- TOWNSHIP OF MARKHAM Local Improvement Notice TAKE NOTICE THAT 1.

"You can blame it on the pm of the developers for poor mer- chandlslnt." Noting the reduction would provide 23 additional lots, Mr. Sumner said it would cost the township nearly $20,000 for public school accommodation. A ratepayer countered assess- ment on the properties con- cerned would take care of the $20,000. Y-énnnélllor Stewart Rumble stated he would go along with the planning bogrd’s deqlsjon. _ V I‘Wer appoint them and I feel they should be listened to. They have given this a lot of thought." He” was asked to give his per- sonal feeling on the matter. A Mr. Rumble. in whose ward the subdivision is located, said his personal feeling was solely that he would have to go along with “the planning board". Another resident said home- owners would like to see the area south of the tracks built up before "the trains start increasing as a result of the new marshalling yard in Vau- ghan Township." 7 Still one other ratepayer termed council's attitude as “strictly ridiculous". Reeve Hooper felt the resi- dents and subdivider had a logical basis for complaint. acknowledging a railway track for a backdrop doesn't encour- age home-buyers. The meeting closed with I ratepayer stating bluntly that “we’re not going to accept a negative vote.
