At the September 6 meeting of council. tuo readings were given to a bylaw which will require all outdoor swimming or wading pools to have a fence of chain link or other acceptable material not. less than five feet high. The chain is to be not less than 11 gauge and with a mesh not exceeding two inches. Iron posts for the fence are to be set in concrete. Outside walls of a build- ing may be incorporated as part of the fence and there must be one or more gates of the same height as the fence with substantial hinâ€" gcs. with a self-latching de- vice on the inside and locks for all periods when the pool is not in use. Permits must be obtained for the erection of fences and a breach of the bylaw will bring a fine of not more titan $300, Councillor Dalton McAr- thur noted that the bylaw was a very stringent one and moved that it be giy en only two readings. This In Shouting Bout Vaughan Swim Pools Must All Be Fenced would permit (‘Ollll('ll to discuss it fully. “There are some parts that need am- ending." he said. “We are passing a bylaw that can't or won‘t be enforced in some areas of the townâ€" ship." Mr. Ric-Arthur also felt that he would like to give the public a chance to comâ€" ment on it. Reeve Brian Bailey sug- gested sending a copy of the bylaw to the local pap- ers for publication. "This is really legislating brains into people". he com- mented. "Yes. we received a letter about one pool in a built up area with no fence around it at all." noted Councillor Charles Birkett. The reeve noted that a dog had drowned in the pool in question but that it could just as well have been a child. Councillor Mt‘.\l‘il\ul' wondered about the fencing of farm ponds but Deputy- reeve Garnet \Villiams noted that most such ponds are fenced to keep cattle in The bylaw will presum- ably come up for third and final reading at the next meeting of council. Septem- ber 18. l l l l l lwe plan to meet with PER COPY 10c Oil-Street Parking Plan Is Councillor han Mansbridge and his transportation com- mittee have come up with a Yonge Street off-street parking plan they think will be agree- able to downtown merchants. Mr. Manshridge told council. Monday night that “this is a very comprehensive plan which. I think will meet the require- ments of the merchants whom in the near future." The question of this fall's lYonge Street reconstruction and‘ the resultant disruption of park- ing facilities has resulted in a series of outcries from merch- ants fearful their businesses will be crippled. Mayor Thomas Broad- hurst still appeared reticent about the success of the meetings stressing there “are still dollar and cents problems to be solved. “I hope." he said. “you’ll make it clear to the merâ€" chants that any off-street parking plan will be a ‘Deputy, Clerk Square Oil Mkm Twp Deputy-reeve S.

They do medical and surgical dressings and injections or irrigations ordered by the physicians in the patient's own home. All these services are performed at a nominal fee. No patient is ever refused service because of inability to pay the fee. In fact 75%. of patients are not able to pay the fm1ke ' In providing these services in 1986 the local VON made 2.175 calls and travelled approximate-' ly 16.000 miles. ‘ Besides the fees collected. the VON receives grants from the municipalities served. but the total of these falls far short of meeting the annual expenditure.

"So we decided it would be more advantageous and cost us less if we let someone else do the work who is in the bus- iness himself. 1t would be less headaches for us.” The mayor said one of the problems concerned the work in deciding the architecture of the various homes to be built plus future costs of constructing and gravelling a road into the area. “We found ourselves getting into an area which no council has the qualifications or bus- iness being in . . . namely the subdividing business."

Council accepted without discussion a recommenda- tion of its finance and gen- eral purpose committee that it should support the bid of the Borough of North York to have the federal Minister of Transport with- hold approval of the move. North York had asked all municipalities in the great- er Metro area to support its resolution. It has also asked the Board of Broad- cast Governors in Ottawa to review its approval as it appears that the Palgrave transmitter would interfere with programs received loc- ally coming from channels ‘2 and «l in Buffalo.

He added that the builder would receive consuleration was included in the original minimum selling price. “With all these unforeseen factors facing us". he said. "we could see the return on our money being steadily diluted. There was also me question of installing underground hydro facilities. “We all want it." he said. "but we arrive at the question of who pays for it'.’ The town or the property purchasers and so on.“ . He said it would now be up to the builder to set his own standards providing they didn‘t conflict to any great degree with the municipality's guide- lines. “We will still have control over the type of houses to he built and their minimum cost." he said. "but individual designs will be left lor the most part vo the builder. “.\'0 builder will want till) one home to clash too violently with another for the simple reason it will handicap his ability to sell."

It was in June that councill announced that nine of the lotsl would be offered to the highest bidder. l Only objector was Councillorl Ivan Mansbridge who said} throwing the lots open to the highest bidder was tantamount to "going into the land or housing business." Mayor Broadhurst had a dif- 1erent view saying “the council is the trustee of the public's assets and should realize the best price from the sale of the; lots for the public's benefit." , The 13-acre park was origin-l ally purchased for 875.000. It was proposed to install a cul deI sac north from Rumble Avenuel along with services at a cost of $25000 bringing the total pur-‘ chase price to 8100.000. The 10 lots were expected to bring in 385.000 plus a $5.000 provincial parks grant to give the tow n 13 acres for just $10000.
