Mr. Scudds admitted that very little work had been done by the town on the ditches in this area during the past six years, but explained that legal action had been undertaken against the developer and until this action was settled the ditches could not be touched. The mayor confirmed this. stat- ing the town could not destroy the evidence of faulty workman- ship and reported that onLv a small amount of damages had been recovered by the town.

Mr. Scudds told the group the town had hired the engin- eering firm of Hisey and Bar- rington to do a preliminary survey of the work necessary in Beverley Acres alone to pro- vide storm sewers, curbs and 28 foot wide pavements (necesâ€" sary to receive maximum pro- vincial grants). Their estimate of cost of the project was $1.- 080,000.

We just can't afford it," he emphasized. The councillor noted that three members of the 1965 council live in Beverley Acres.

Only five objections could cause the board to demand a hearing and if the number of objections re- ceived was large, they could well refuse the town permission to proceed.

Another Kleinburg delegation was received at the April 26 council meeting. The previous week‘s delegation had suggested that since the owners of the subdivision had refused to pay water rates on the vacant lots in the subdivision. they were being charged higher rates to make up the deficiency. It was explained however, that under the terms of the sub- division ag‘reement, water rates were to be levied against vacant lots and that before building permits would be issued for the lots. all water rates would have to be paid.

Bert Cane of the Community Programs Branch of the De- partment of Education spoke briefly and noted that the cen- tennial grants had been a tre- mendous incentive in prompt- ing the establishment of recrea- tional facilities. To date, 30 applications have been received for centennial parks, eight for arenas and eight for community centres. All types of information and literature about recreational centred centennial events are available from the COmmunity Programs Branch at 559 Jarvis Street. Mr. Cane said. He re- minded his listeners that 370 communities in the province al- ready have recreation commit- tees and these should all be asked to work with the centen- nial committees.

All trees which have been out have been certified dead by a comp- etent tree authority and had to be removed because the! i constituted a menace to 1 .pedestrians and motor cars. I “Within the road allowance, rthe trees are the municipality’s responsibility,” he informed council, “as the town is liable‘ for any damages they may cause and are also liable for damage 1965 As spokesman for the dele- gation, Charles Wortman ex- pressed concern that trees were cut down on or adjacent to private property without warn- ing to the owners of such prop- erty. He noted that hydro and telephone employees always check with the residents before carrying on trimming opera- tions. and suggested that in the interest of good public rela- tions and courtesy council should consider establishing a general policy that no town em- ployee would enter on private property to remove dead trees without consent of the owner of that property. He also rec- ommended that in the case of trees adjacent to or abutting on private property the property owner should have advance knowledge of plans to remove them. As an alternative, the spokesman suggested a notice could be posted on the tree iindicating the town's intent.

He told council his office had re- ceived several telephone calls complimenting the works de- partment on its dead tree re- moval. Twenty trees were re- moved and 22 received surgery during the program. He expressed willingness of his department to submit a notice and discuss tree removal with owners, but cautioned the same could apply to ditching operations, and warned “You will handicap me in my work if I have to get permission from adjacent property owners to do a tree is dead or not could cause problems. “We might almost have to have a cor- oner’s jury to decide,” he quipped. suggesting a sys- tem of marking a tree with a dab of paint could be con- sidered. “The onus then shifts to the property owner to take up any area of dispute”, he claimed. “There’s no obligation on the town at present to nob ify adjacent property own- ers”, he continued, “and we could give people the idea we have to do it. If we mark the tree, that would be the most practical way."

The board decided on the change at its meeting Thursday evening of last week following a request from York Central District High School Board that the board consider lending it sets of text books in English and mathematics, not available in the secondary schools.
