Road Needs Study A 10 year road needs study has been launched by King Township under the direction of Edward Sims of Totten, Sims and Hubicki Associates, consulting engineers of Whitby. The study is expected to take several months and 50% of the costs will be borne by the pro~ vincial government. Three consulting firms were recommended by the Department of Highways and representatives were interviewd by council and by Roads Superâ€" intendent T. E. Arlidge before the decision was made. Richmond Hill Tree Service 8: Forestry Co .Ltd. 884-7774 Reeve Gordon Cook stated that the firm had been chosen because of its experience in rural townships where gravelled roads predominate. Totten, Sims and Hubicki are consulting engineers for 47 Ontario municipalities and two firm mem- bers have for many years been municipal engin- eers for Ontario and Victoria Counties. The consultants will estimate revenue avail- able for road needs and direct these revenues to areas of greatest need. A summary of their find- ings will be issued in a formal report. . Included in the survey will be the three pollce villages of King City, Nobleton and Schom- berg. which have 11 miles of roads. THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday.

Small Returns From Carnival ’66 Final tallies show a very small profit made on Car- nival ’66. This was due partly to the $100 fee for the pipers who entertained and the $100 permit which had to be paid for in order to hold the carnival. Entertainment was Provided A hydro pole and fuse box also had to be erected but this will permit bingos to be held throughout the summer.

We were very sorry to hear that Mrs. Dawn Willis has been on the sick list. Mrs. Muriel Steane arrived home from hos- pital last week, and Lillian Wil- son is now ove1 having the mumps. A speedy iecoveiy is wished for all. We hope also that Mr. Wayne’s mother is \enjoying her stay with the Wayne family on" Fergus Ave. She is a very cheer- ful person in spite of her blind- ness, and enjoys a visit and talk with friends. Mrs. May Doughty and family have been visiting her mother, Mrs. Irons, in Burley Falls for a couple of weeks and we hope that Mrs. Irons is feeling much better now, after a few days spent in the hospital.

Of this amount, $191,384 will be levied against residents and the rest will be paid by the province. The increased road expenditures upped the road mill rate 5.06 to a total of 13.79 mills.

At that time, however. no seconder was found for the resolution and it was lost. The subject arose at subâ€" sequent council meetings however, and at a joint meet- ing with planning board early in June it was agreed to have the township solicitor draw up a bylaw. This was done but when it was pre- sented to the planning board June 28 it had a very cold rc- ceptlon. particularly from chairman William Hodgson and member Alf Lemasurier. Some of the 10â€"acre lots would be an asset to the township, said Mr. Hodgson. citing such developments as the Rice Subdivision south of Kinghorn. “Freezing is not the answer to the problem".

THE BEST COSTS NO MORE Acre Lots In King Township lots should be controlled but not prohibited. Mr. Cook had first pro- posed the bylaw to prevent further “spaghetti strip” de- velopment. when long. nar- row lots are made from farms. At least four 100-acre farms in the township have been divided this way and nothing can be done with the back portion of the lots. Mr. Cook also pointed out that with unrestricted sub- division. township and school board officials are unaware how many residential lots were being formed which makes it difficult to plan effectively for schools. When such development is scatter- ed it also makes school bus- ing quch more expensive. free estimate BLETT I THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY I OFFICIAL DISCOUNT PRICES APPLY artered bank branch!

A recorded vote was cal- led by Mr. Cook and the by- law was passed unanimously. Known as Bylaw 1.489. it provides that “no person shall use a lot having an area of 10 acres or more and not more than 25 acres for the purpose of erecting or hav- ing a dwelling thereon". It provides however, that this shall not apply to any lot in a registered plan of subdi- vision, or to any such lot which is presently registered. A further subsection of the bylaw prohibits the erection of any accessory building on a lot until a building has been erected to which it is to be an accessory.
