He pointed out the new build- ing programs that were launch- ed. installation of various ser- vices. bus transportation, etc. Teachers’ salaries in 1967 totalled an estimated 5677.800 which represented 57.1 percent of the total budget. Mrs. Paterson said there would be no school construction taking place in the township in 1968. In 1967 the board struck a budget totalling $1,186,465 be- fore grants which amounted to a jump of $236,465 over the previous year or an increase of 1.94 mills. The 1.94 mil) increase for farm and residential was a vast improvement over the 10- mill leap which occurred in 1966. Spokesman Mrs. D. C.

Mrs. Paterson also pointed out that the board wasn’t bud- geting for a surplus in 1968 as it had done in other years. She added that the necessity of installing portable classrooms for the new school year was also a factor in the general in- crease. “If our attempts to build a school would not have been turned down,” she said. “we wouldn’t haVe been faced with portable classrooms. This in- increase irrthe school popula- tion was projected as far as two years ago and now that increase is here and we have to provide the space and teachers some- how."

With displeasure. Drawing the most displeasure was a newspaper report quoting King Township Councillor Gor- don Rowe as stating that village engineers had said the King City water system was in need of an overhaul. Mr. Rowe is a resident of Oak Ridges. Chairman Peter Williams commented that some of “Mr. Rowe’s opinions as quoted are somewhat mis- leading and I'd like to set the record straight. Mr. Rowe is insisting the proper way would be to spend the $125,000 on a new system under the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission. “Everyone in the area." he said. “could benefit from this system. There has been criticism of village water systems spotting the township and the possibility of a township owned and oper~ ated system may be considered. “I get the impression that Mr. Rowe is implying that our system is falling apart. This is not so. It‘s in good shape.” The trustees‘ displeasure arose as a result of Councillor Rowe's feeling that the $125,000 offered by subdivider Afred McBride in exchange for water for his 80-home proposal near King City should be spent on a new system benefiting the whole municipality. King Township Planning Board has made no decision on the McBride Subdivision and has asked for a meeting with council to discuss the direction the township might go in pro~ viding water services. O.

The trustees pointed out that villagers pay $36 per year net for their own water and those living outside its boundaries $52 a year. ‘ “This is a difference of $16 a year and it proves we're not out to make a great profit," said Chairman Williams. v I The chairman added that the costs would likely be more to receive water by arrangement :with the OWRC. The second source of minor upset to the trustees â€" parti- cularly David Clark â€"â€" came via a letter from the Combined Roman Catholic School Board of King Township. The letter expressed dissatis- faction at the village's $15,000 asking price to distribute water The McBride Subdivision in question is a 53 acre extension of Clearview Subdivision but will be southeast of the village limits.

The “trustees closed the disâ€" cussion by agreeing to meet with council or representative in the near future to continue discussion on the matter. The trustees said by law they had the authority to charge double the rate they haVe been.

The trustees expressed joy at learning that the interim rate charged the villagers by Ontario Hydro for wholesale power in 1967 was in excess of the actual cost. Result: A refund of $335.

It was explained the inspecâ€" tion was routine and was being requested because it had been some time since a previous in- spection had been made. school on King Sideroad: It termed the quoted cost as “exorbitant.” This terminology raised the ire of Trustee Clark who critiâ€" cized the attitude of the board. "The cost quoted.” he as- serted. “is certainly not too exorbitant. We're offering to provide a facility at a certain price and there‘s no call to scold us or state it‘s unjustified." Mr. Clark said he was surâ€" prised the school would be okayed at a price of $183,000 and then result in complaints over a $15,000 charge for water vital to the school and its pro- jected 120 pupils. An alternative suggestion was broached whereby the school could arrange to use a much smaller plastic-pipe hookup but the opinion of the trustees was it would probably not be suit- able in case of a fire. In other business. the board approved an inspection of the village's water tank by the firm of Horton and Steel Works of Toronto. The trustees decided to dis- cuss the matter further with representatives from the school board at its March 25 meeting and try to work out a solution. .25 .22 1.35 1.25 1.09 1.88 1.25 4.95 1.85 Reg.
