Figures sup- plied by the township show- ed 2,000 tons of gravel put on its four and a half miles of roads both in 1960 and 1961. This meant almost 1,000 tons per mile in the 2 years. explained Mr. Wooley. or 25 truck loads (of 10 tons eachl every quarter mile. “This is why our roads are so badâ€"all those damn trucks going up and down them," Mr. Wooley expostu- lated. and insisted “I think we are being led down the garden path." According to township fig- ures. 200 hours were spent ‘in grading Oak Ridges roads iaua. LIIC «uv alumna 9..-... 1960 meant that travelling at five miles an hour. the grad- er would have spent four hours a week grading roads for nine months. "And that still leaves him 20 hours for coffee breaks." The 130 hours grading time in 1961 w0uld have seen the roads graded three times a month for nine months. “Do you see the grader that much?“ enquired Mr. Wool- ey. Assessment in Oak Ridges had gone up from three quarters of a million doll- ars in 1960 to $1,125.155 in 1964. Last year 8.88 mills went to township roads and bridges which meant that For fire protection. Oak Ridges was assessed 1.11 mills. or $1,250. In 1960 there were seven fire calls which cost $750 and in 1961. there were four. costing 5400. As well, a $500 stand- by fee was paid to the Aurâ€" ora Fire Brigade. Mr. Wooley also outlined other complaints which Oak Ridges residents had voiced to council from time to timeâ€"â€"no speed control on the roads, weeds not cut, poor maintenance on the Oak Ridges water system with air in the lines and the water very hard and with a scum on it. . Mr. Wooley then brought “We have two cnoxces. he said. bers into our association to try and give us a voice. or form a police village which will give us a little authority and let us have a little self- government." He pointed out that Oak Ridges was the largest collec- tion of homes in the townâ€" ship which was not formed into a police village. Under the police village set-up they could spend the $9,990 a year on their own roads without increasing taxes and would not have to pay for roads in the rest of the township. Also. the Department of Highways will match what is “Either get more mem- ' nave: .pfiv.vuu u: Mac-nu val .w roads yearly. Mr. Wooley felt that the roads could be maintained for $5,000 per year and the balance of this money could be used to begin a paving program. Requirements for forma- tion of a police village were outlinedâ€"no minimum acre- age. but a minimum popula- tion of 150 people, with 50% of the population signing the petition to form the police village, with at least 50% of those signing being home owners. After checking by the townShip clerk. the petition goes to the York County ,0 .......... a, .n, ma... an“. ly to the Ontario Municipal Board. Feeling of the meeting was overwhelmingly in fav- or of the formation of a pol- ice village. ”We would be better off becoming a police village." stated one man. "Let's get up off our fannies and start shaking them up over there." Attending the meeting, al- though not a homeowner in Oak Ridges was Norman Taylor who introduced him- self to the audience as a member of the King Town- ship Council in 1958. '59 and ’60. He explained that Police villages were formed to enable small hamlets to set up services which a rural township did not need and was not geared to supply. He felt that King Township had largely outgrown this state and Should have an ac- tive council which would care for the needs of the township from boundary to boundary. “The Oak Ridges area is neglected" he admitted and added that he felt they were taking the proper step to arouse interest. The chairman. Bob Wooley introduced the other mem- urer, and a board of direc- tors consisting of Lew Brou- wer, Pat Casey, David Grounds, Stan Metcalfe, Fred Newman and Lymon Veis- berg. An appeal was made for representatives from each street in the area to help in the circulation of the petition and in bringing complaints to the executive of the as- sociation. Vern Plant.

Board Will Not Transport Kids To Kindergarten Correspondence f r o m parents resident in the Jef- ferson and Richvale areas has been received by Vau- ghan Township School Area Board. it was reported last Thursday night. Their prob- lem concerned provision of transportation for children attending kindergarten clas- ses at Roselawn School. At the commencement of the fell term transportation arrangements were mlde between the parents and Langdon Coach Lines Lim- tted that the parents con- cerned would share the cost. A number of families now feel the rate to be higher than their circumstances will permit paying. The management com- mittee reported it felt that since provision of kinder- nrten education is at the discretion of the local board Ind that provision of trans- portation to kindergarten for the entire school area would incur a large expenditure. they must, of necessity. adhere to the pre- sent policy. This is that it will be the responsibility of the parents to get child- ren enrolled in kinder- garten classes to and from school. The board approved this decision. FOOD IS FRESH â€" 2V2 -3 LB.
