KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING A letter from the township planning board advised council to oppose an annexation move by Newmarket and suggested that the members consider hav- ing one solicitor to act for Whit- church and East Gwillimbury Township in the matter. (New- market is prOposing to take over land in East Gwillimbury and King Townships as well As in Whitchurch). A-meeting with East Gwillim- bury to plan a joint defence to the threat was urged by Deputy uevo HenneSsy. At the July 23 meeting of Council Mr. Ratcliff contested a unanimous decision by the committee of adjustment deny- ing his application for the sev- erance of a 2%-acre parcel of land from his property. Whitchurch Prepares To Fight Newmarket Annexation Proposal No decision was made on the planning board’s suggestion. Whitchurch Township Coun- cil has been urged by its plan- ning board to demand a public apology for “unfounded” allega- tions made against members of the committee of adjustment by Charles Ratcliff. 3 Lemon- ville property owner. . Although sympathetic to the resolution of the board, coun- cillors decided at their meeting last week to hold over the mat- ter until after the next meeting of the planning board, schedul- ed for August 26. He alleged that “about 12 years ago" he had been asked for a $250 “under-the counter" payment to obtain a subdivision of his land. He mentioned no names. Mr. Ratcliff complained "that no reason was given why I shouldn’t sell that piece of land.” He added. “It is mostly bush, with frontage on a town- ship road, and it is not farming land. Why do some people get severance right away when others are turned down even Whibchurch Township Coun- cil indicated its resolve to op- pose any bid by Newmarket to annex part of Whitchuroh by passing two resolutions at its August 6 meeting that will pre- pare the townshipjs defence against any annexation move. On a motion by Councillor Betty van Nostrand a question- aire is to be sent to all people who would be affected by New- market‘s proposal to annex a northwestern Section of Whit- church that lies adjacent to Newmarket’s eastern boundary. The questionaire, to be pre-‘ pared by Township Clerkj Thomas Kerr, would ask resi-dents if they were for or against annexation. and for what rea-‘ sons. It would be along the Lines of a questionaire sent out a few years ago to township residents affected by a proposed annexation by Aurora, council- lors indicated.

An irate delegation of nearly 20 residents from the Bloomington sideroad area appeared at Whitchurch Township Council meeting August 6 to protest the noise from gravel trucks using the sideroad at night, and to re- quest council to get two gra- vel crushing operations to close down at night.

Municipalities affected by the York County resolution have fourteen days from the receipt of the resolution by the mun- icipal clerk to lodge objections to it. Due to the mail strike Whitchurch has not yet received a copy of the county resolution. It was consequently agreed in the York County resolution that Stouffville would join with Whitchurch Township to send one representative between them to the county board. The two Whitchurch repre- sentatives on York County Council, Reeve Stewart Burnett and Deputy-reeve Lawrence Hennessy, did not raise any ob- jections to the York County res- olution at the meeting of July 25. Reeve Stewart Burnett voiced qualms about Whitchur'ch be- ing represented by someone from another municipality.

Whitchurch May Raise Objections To Resolution Mr. McArthur expressed the opinion that a closure of a plant operation at night would not necessarily mean the stoppage of trucking at night, because “gravel could be stockpiled at the plant for use during the day.” He later told Councillor Betty van Nostrand that“‘a truck costs roughly the same to operate whether it’s standing still. or whether it’s running." For this reason it was economic for trucks to be used as much as possible, he ex- plained.
