Thursday. March 7. 1968 Reeve Brian Bailey, who was present for part of the meeting, assured the 15 people present that council had not yet reached any decision on the proposal and would be happy to advise them of developments: Mr. Redelmeier was elected president of the association which is to be known as the Don Watershed Ratepayers’ Association. Vice-presâ€" ident is Graham Walter and Secretary-treasurer Mrs. Lois Anderson. First act-ion decided on was to inform Vaughan Township Council. either by letter or by an appearance at council. of the formation of the association and ask that it be kept fully informed of developments respecting the proposed dump on the property of Superior Sand and Gravel on the Maple Sideroad, so that the group could have an opportunity of putting its Views before council before any decision is reached. Mr. Bailey advised too that Metro has as yet made no application for the site although he expected this to happen very soon. While he felt that. at the moment. council would no doubt be unanimous in its rejection of the dump. he cautioned those present that if Metro made a proposal which would meet all the objections to the dump, and at the same time offered to sell at reasonable rates access to water and sewage services, which would benefit the whole township. then council would have to consider the proposal seriously. At a meeting February 29 at the home of Francis Redelmeier, Don Head Farms,. Maple Sideroad, a ratepayers’ association was formed to protect the interests of area residents who feel themselves threatened by the proposed 745- acre Maple dump planned by Metro. l‘recent proposal. made b_ Gary Ba/(er Heads Centre Merchants The presidency of Richmond Heights Merchants’ Association has changed hands with Gary Baker of Agnew-Surpass Stores, the newly- elected president.

Toronto Transit northern REPORT During last week the Oak Ridges Detachment of'the On- tario Provincial Police invest- igated 36 accidents in which 20 persons were injured and prop- erty damage amounted to $17,- 125. Five persons were appre- hended for impaired driving. one of whom was also charged with driving while licence un- der suspension. Ralph Day has said the cost of the tunnel from Sheppard to Finch \muld probably only cost that amount since it would not be necessary to acquire much land. If the subway is built to Finch. this will bring the north- ern terminus just six and a quarter miles south of Rich- mond Hill, a boon to local com- muters. The Sheppard Avenue terminus would add another mile and a quarter to this distance.

A’court, RR .2, Maple, agreed. “You did right. You didn’t have any real reason for refusing the South Thackeray Site,” he said. At the same time, Mr. A’court noted “You might have a conflict of interest between this group and the taxpayers as a whole, whose interests may or may not coincide.” An acceptable proposal, Mr. Bailey said, would be one that would provide a new access road to the dump in from Highway 400, which could also be used by gravel trucks and get them off township roads; that would prevent any pol- lution of water supply; that would not create a true burden on people living close to the site; that would include provision‘ at least for an interim period, of water and sewer services which would permit development of the township. Mr. Bailey added, however, “I don't think they will do this.” Mr. Bailey defended the township’s action in acceding to Metro’s request for the South Thackeray site. “We just retreated to higher ground from where we could defend ourselves,” he said. vote for it,” he said frankly, and added, “But I would tell you.” Are proud to announce we have top experienced men and women for all big high-class janitorial services.

In 1945 the library was moved to the old church which is now Victoria Hall, with no plumbing and primitive heating arrange- ments. Improvements gradually brought a measure of comfort in the hall. but at the end of April, 1963. the new modern library on Victoria Street was occupied. Constable Hanna and Wilâ€" liam Gunn of the Markham Vil- lage Police both testified that Kaghee‘s breath was heavy with alcohol and that he had fallen asleep several times while in the cruiser. Constable Jack Hanna of the Oak Ridges OPP testified that he had first noticed Kaghee driving south on Main Street in Markham Village August 25, and had swerved to avoid the car which was riding on the white centre lines of the road. Kaghee continued on until he was involved in a collision with a vehicle turning in front of him. Ephl‘iam Kaghee, 24. of Base- line Road. Winona, pleaded not guilty to a charge of impaired driving but the evidence against him was too strong and he was fined $100 and costs with a licence suspension. The complainant, Marvin Morton, of 569 Sheppard Ave- nue West, Willowdale, testified that he had rented ice-time at the Jane Street and Highway 7 arena for a group of friends who had been playing hockey together for some time.

Kaghee had testified that he had consumed five or six draft beers in the afternoon but he had not had any break- fast or lunch. Crown Attorney Jerry Woron countered mat it was fortunate that more hockey players don’t resort to violence to solve argu- ments. In handing down the convic- tion, Magistrate Russell Pearse described Mullin's punch as “a blow struck in temper" and adâ€" ded that he must stay clear of the rink when it is rented by Mr. Morton's team.
