When asked by Deputy-reeve' Stewart Rumble why he wasi asking for $100 more than he did in his letter of applicationl in March, Mr. Vance said his insurance and other costs had gone up since. Councillor Cleary Palmer said he thought Mr. Vance and Dave Holt. who has also proposed an ambulance service to cover the area, were to present their cases together in committee. He said he didn’t think it was fair for either Mr. Vance or council to discuss any service at that time and suggested a meeting later in the week. Council agreed and will see Mr. Vance first, followed by Mr. Holt 30 minutes later. " ‘(fiiibths'idafi‘é sffia'ib) MRS. PETER DONKERS Baby Bonus Winner Mrs. Peter Donkers.

The unit price for the provision of gran- ular “A” gravel had been shown as $1.30 per ton, bu-t extended at the rate of $1.55 per ton, Mr. Hopper was of the opinion that the unit price here was in correctly shown (the $1.30 is the cost of pit run gravel) and that it should be amended tol1 $1.55 but leaving the total cost1 of this item as shown on the‘ tender. ‘ When is a tender nota tender. appeared to be the question vexing Vaughan Township Council at Monday‘s meeting. Eight tenders had been open- ed for the reconstruction of Elder Mills Sideroad from High- way 27 to County Road 7. Low bid was from Graham Bros. Construction Limited of Bramp- ton in the amount of 597.986.76 Nex't closest was from H. M. Davis and Sons for $114,578.00. High bidder was Miller Paving with $133,022.34. The trouble arose when Towns-hip Engineer Keith Hop- per who had studied the ten-d- ers advised that Graham Broth- ers‘ submission contained two errors. In one case, a unit price of 5c had been shown but the figure extended at bhe rate of one fifth of a «sent. This was of little consequence he said. as it was a straight clerical error. Councillor Dalton Mc- Arthur objected to this however. “We’re not here, to act as caretakers to see that they don’t make mis- takes,” he said and moved that council accept the tender using the $1.30 unit price with the total corrected to $94,486.76, or $3,500 lower than the con- tractor had shown it. Mr. Hooper was asked if the contractor could back out of the contract if the total price were so changed. He was of the opinion that the contractor could not do this without for- feiting his bond of $2,000. Councillor Warren Bryce was opposed to Mr. McArthur’s motion. “It gets everybody into trouble right at the outset”, he said, and noted that the con- tractor might be in trouble even at the higher figure, as it was still $16,000 lower than the next bid. For a while it looked as if Deputy-reeve Garnet Wil- liams who was in the chair in the absence of the reeve. cast the deciding vote when he voted for the motion giving the contract to Gra- ham Bros. Councillor Bryce asked that his negative vote he recorded. Tenders were also opened for the crushing of gravel for the township roads. The con- tract was awarded to J. Syvret & Co. Limited at a price of 48c per ton; Other bids were from Jack Schwandt Co. Ltd. 541,3 per ton and Gormley Sand and Gravel. 65c per ton.

Council agreed May 17 to accept the highest of the three. When this decision was ques- tioned by an observer. it was explained that the low bid of $10,802.39 from the GMC truck retail branch had been discard- ed because it was felt the In- ternational trucks quoted on by the other two bidders would have a longer life in the roads department where they were required. Kerr‘s Garage Limited had offered two International trucks for $12,433.81 and Richvale Auto Supply Limited had of- fered two exactly similar trucks for $12.566. Deputy-reeve Wil- liams advised that the Richvale Auto Supply tender, although slightly higher, had been ac- cepted because they were in Vaughan Township and servic- ing of the trucks would be cheaper and more convenient. mlttee give freely of their limited spare time and of their talents to help im- prove our town but feels much greater results would be achieved if every resi- dent does what he can to help and encourage others to do the same.

Jesse Bryson. former dep- uty-reeve of Vaughan Town- ship and appointed this year to the board of health stated that it was quite obvious that there was a need for a change in handling sewage disposal in the subdivision. Mr. Bryson listed three ways in which the situation could be corrected; by the method outlined by Mr. Free- man and propOsed by the subdivider: by having the subdivider build the plant without the subdivision of any additional lots. which he admitted would mean a fur- lher loss of money for the sudivider: or by having the cost of a sewage plant spread over the whole township. Health Board Chairman E. J. Norris queried whether it could not be paid for on a local improvement basis. Mr. Bryson replied however that with heavy mortgages the people couldn‘t carry any more charges than they are at present. Mr. Freeman thanked the members of the board for their time. “But we won‘t stop here". he said. “We are prepared to go on to Dr. Dymond, (Minister of Public Health for Ontario) if we have to.“ The chairman stated that meetings of the board of health were open to the public and he would like to think that anyone with prob- lems would come to them at any time. After the delegation had left. the board discuSSed the problems presented by "mass" septic tank installa-' tions. ‘Toronto 7 representativ: “on the Toronto and York Roads Com- ‘mission for the past seven years, i idied recently at the age of 68, following a lengthy illness.

Limiting subdivisions with septic tanks to one acre lots would be one way of handl- ing the situation. Mr. Norris suggested. but noted that this Would slow down develop- ment. Several other board mem- bers were aware of planned subdivisions. some of which were on low-lying land quite unsuited to septic tank in- stallations, but none had a solution to offer for the problem.
