Roads and intersections‘ are being endangered by eros~§ ion from the immense flow of water, he reported, admitting that ditches are often too full and a menace to children. "We would have to spend $150,000 to save our roads,“ he stated, continuing that the works com- mittee had looked into this and decided to take a look at storm sewers in lieu of deep ditches. An engineering firm had been hired to do preliminary plans so that approximate costs could be ascertained. These estimm ated costs are $1,080,000, some‘ of which will be subsidized. he‘ noted. However the full costl and the amount of subsidy can‘ gnot be ascertained until com-l plete engineering plans arel drawn up. “Council has taken a good look and were ready to hire an en-‘ gineer to bring in final cnginâ€"i t . the reeve noted; that since we had not made‘ provision in our budget for the engineering fees. it would be‘ illegal for us to go ahead.

Mayor Thomas Broadhurst reported that his was the first family to move into Beverley Acres and that he still lives there. so that he is very famil- iar with the situation. He as- sured Mr. Mansbridge. and the ratepayers of Beverley Acres. that the lot fees have been spent on other projects years ago. "This money was gone before I got on council“, he reported. “Even before the quarter of a million dollar box drain was installed on Crosby Avenue. It went for a variety of municipal services, all quite legal," he assured them. Mr. Mansbridge reiterated that ratepayers believed this money had been collected for storm sewers. The mayor re- called that he had argued this years before but had been as- sured by the Ontario Municipal Board that it had been spent quite legally and was levied for any purpose the town saw fit. in the Marybay and Gentry Crescent areas and will provide additional capacity for further industrial and commercial development on the east side of Yonge Street between Elgin Mills and Centre Streets.

Pointing out that the sanitary sewer project is on a fiveâ€" year program to he started next year. the reeve felt that storm sewers and road improvements in Beverley Acres will also have to be undertaken in stages.

NEED GOOD WORKERS? The reeve also pointed out that the 1964 council can not act on this request as they cannot commit the incoming council for engineering fees. in spite of the fact that they were committed by the 1963 council for engineering fees in the southwest area of $40,000. “We had a choice," he said. “We could pay the fees or charge them back t0»the individual members of the 1963 council." Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker thought that all members of council are agreed the most ur- gent part of this request is the sanitary sewage problem. “If this could be resolved, would it be acceptable for the town to spend $150,000 on saving the roads and intersections?” he asked. to which Mr. Mans-‘ bridge answered “No". Councillor Robert Saund- ers said he felt that any priority study by an engin- ‘ eering firm will agree that certain sections of Beverley Acres have precedence. “Personally I think the area between Yonge and Eliza- beth Streets of equal im- portance,” he commented. "but I am sure you will see council embark on a proâ€" gram to include a portion of Beverley Acres." Councillor Walter Scudds. asking to get a word in edge- wise, read a prepared statement replying to Mr. Mansbridge's presentation and recent letter in “The Liberal”. His stateâ€" ment said, “This council is well aware and has been very con- cerned about these problems. As early as last spring the ‘works committee reached an ‘agreement with the Highways Department for a subsidy on a $150,000 ditch stabilization pro- gram providing the work was not done all in one year. We !deferred action on this project to order a preliminary enginâ€" eering report on the possibility :and cost of storm sewering Beverley Acres. In due course our engineers reported on a .‘plan that would cost $1,081.- $585. ”Just last week we asked the works committee and the clerk to establish the effect of this million dollar program on our rate of assessment to debent- ures and taxes. We also asked the clerk to put this program on our capital works forecast and to consult with the Mun- icipal Board and the Depart~ ment of Highways. We cer- tainly will have to effect a plan to correct our ditching prob- lems in this area during 1965 but it is impossible to reach a proper decision without all the facts. “Mr. Mansbridge apparently does not realize that our big- gest problem in this area is sanitary sewage and that we have an application before the Municipal Board for a $217,180 addition in this area. This ex- tension to our system will not only alleviate our sewage back- up problems in Beverley Acres but will allow new assessment in other areas which will go a long way towards paying for the work. I believe council has taken the only course of action it could in keeping with good business practice.
