I feel his report should now be considered in rela- tionship to the Joscelyn Re- port which has been just tabled with the township." ‘ Mr. Dawson’s studies have led him to forecast a King Township population of 22,000 by 1975 â€"â€" 3,000 more in the villages and 5,600 outside them.

Our news corres- pondent in Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox is Mrs. Lillian Atcheson, Wildwood Avenue. 773-5479. in King City Mrs. Lee Aspden. 833-5679. 13.519 and a continuance of the growth rate between 1945 and 1965 â€"- 5.7% or 444 persons per year. He forecasts approxi- matels 8,500 persons will gravitate towards the vil- lages â€" or some 3,000 per- sons. This would mean an additional 1,680 to King City, 1.170 to Nobleton and 150 to Scliomberg. This would bring the 1975 popu- lation of King City to 3,580, Nobleton 2,210 and Schom- berg 740. Residents of Lake Wilcox were shocked to read recent articles in “The Toronto Telegram”, “The Newmarket Era” and “The Stoufiville Tribune” which described “the frightening slums of Lake Wil- cox” It made veiV unpleasant reading for the hun- dieds of residents who have invested large sums in good homes, who keep these properties and sur- loundings in good condition and who take an active part in working for the benefit of the community. All are quite ready to admit that there are some buildings being used as homes in the area which should be torn down â€"â€" as there are in every com- munity. But all feel that Lake Wilcox as a com- munity should not be labelled as “frightening slums” because of a few eyesores. Would the writer of this article refer to the “Frightening Slums of Toronto” or of Newmarket or of Stouffville, where substan- dard housing also exists? I think not. I feel that a little more knowledge of the district would have been called for before such a sensational and super- ficial article was written. We who live in Lake Wilcox agree that some spots are not very acceptable and feel that something should be done about these eyesores. But we ask that the lake area not be condemned as a whole. We strongly believe that those who collect the monthly rents from these rundown houses should be made to bring them up to a living standard. Recent legisla- tion has made it possible for a municipality to enact a. bylaw setting out acceptable standards and giving the council authority to enforce such a bylaw provid- ing the municipality has an official plan. “\“umnmumuumunuuu“\V\mmmmVmmummmmu\lum\Vm\u\lmu\1M\\\\\\\\m\m\\nmmmmm“\mmmummm The article stated that the township had started a youth centre. This is a bit far from the truth. Three residents of Lake Wilcox conceived the idea of the youth centre to give the young people of the district a place to go and something to do and to keep them out of trouble. These three people put in long hours making this centre a going concern. It has recently been affiliated with a newly formed recrea- tion commitee. This commitee, too, has been formed by residents of Lake Wilcox who are interested in this community and its young people. The youth centre was formed to serve all the children of Lake Wilcox, but, unfortunately, not children many c} the clas: pose an: this community and its young people. The youth centre was formed to serve all the children of Lake Wilcox, but, unfortunately, not many children from the South Road attended any of the classes or functions. However, it served its pur- pose and teenage vandalism was reduced consider- ably last year thanks to the work of these two com- mittees. And this positive result was achieved in spite of lack of cooperation and the many obstacles en- countered. Lake Wilcox Public School was used for teenage dances and children’s parties for a time, but without explanation use of the school was with- drawn by the trustees. A carnival to raise money for a youth centre building was held. but the town- ship required a $100 licence fee before it could be staged. But the work continued and will continue. Its effectiveness can be judged from the fact that the teenagers are holding a dance for the adults of the community next Saturday evening, and are taking care of all arrangements themselves. Does this sound like a “frightening slum” or a community where “the people’s only contact with the outside world is the welfare officer and the police”? We consider both statements utterly ridiculous and an insult to the many fine residents in this area. Such irresponsible statements offer nothing construc- tive, but only succeed in embarrassing a large num~ ber of good citizens, who are interested in their com- munity and are working towards making it a better place in which to live and raise their families.

The resolution was moved by Coun- cillor Gordon Rowe, whose home is at Oak Ridges. and was seconded by Deputy-reeve Ken- neth Mactaggart. The Oak Ridges Water Area was established about four years ago to provide water to a dis- trict which had been experienc- ing increasing water shortage. Two years ago the service was extended into Whitchurch ‘Township to supply 80 families \there. It is expected that the biggest! increase in cost of water will1 be borne by the public and separate schools in the water area. It is assumed, from known water consumption at other schools, that these two institu- tions are large users of water and at present pay only a flat \rate. Because Oak Ridges Pub- lic School is part of the King Township School Area, the in- crease there will actually be borne by the whole township. Cost of installing the meters would be $1,400.
