A car belonging to Ian Hen- derson of Lundy’s Lane, New- market. was struck by an un- known vehicle while parked on the west side of Eureka Street, on mile north of Highway 7. Both accidents were investi- gated by Vaughan Township Police. A similar accident with simi- lar consequences occurred on Weston Road the same day, when a car driven by Donald Meyer skidded out of control and went over the east bank of the road. Damage was $1,000, and Meyer was uninjured. Graham Pollock of Caledon was lucky to escape injury when his car skidded and went out of control on Concession 6 on Saturday. The car crashed through guard rails and into a ditch. incurring $1,700 damages. Drivers lose Control Have Lucky Escapes site?” Mr. Fraser comment- ed.

I cer- tainly hope we'don’t have to but what is concrete about this plan? What as- surance have we that OWRC will accept this Deputy - reeve Williams suggested an option be taken. “That way you only lose the option money. 01’ course, if you buy, the way things are going. you can’t lose.” Councillor David Fraser countered, “We shouldn’t speculate with public money.” However he agreed that it would be wise to obtain an option rather than an offer. Various sites have been considered for the plant but soil tests were needed on one on the north side of the Langstaff Sideroad. These preliminary tests indicated that soil condi- tions are extremely vari- able. However, there is an area on which a plant could probably be built on nor- mal foundations and the area appears to be suffi- cient to accommodate the recommended 1.4 mgd plant and an addition to double the capacity with- out pile foundations. Land Appraiser Edward Higgins, of Gibson, Wil- loughby Ltd., Toronto real- tors, was authorized by Vaughan Township Council November 5 to obtain an offer or option to purchase land sufficient for a 1.4 million gallons daily sew- age treatment plant on the north side of the Langstaff Sideroad. The exact area and location will be deter- mined by the township en- gineer and Marshall, Mack- lin and Monaghan, consult- ing engineers.

Such a sys- tem would fix responsibility for purchasing on an individual or department and makes account- ability possible. Lower unit prices can be obtained through purchase of larger quantities; identical prices can be secured for identical commodities used by different departments; paper work will be reduced; goods and materials will be available when needed; payroll savings will result; establishment of material standards will elimin- ate personal preferences, often costly; and accounting and auâ€" diting procedures will take less time. were reasons advanced for creating the new job. mun“lllllllllllllllllllIll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllll“lllllllllllllllllllllw Public Meeting After Nomination For School Board It was reported that a recent review of staff requirements revealed that the senior drafts- man in the engineering depart- ment is no longer doing the work of a draftsman, the position having evolved into that of an engineering assistant.

I It was noted at council’s pub- lic meeting November 5 that Metro is served by several tele- vision cable companies which normally use existing pole faci~ lities of the Bell Telephone or the local hydro system. Concerned that an exclusive franchise for Cable TV may re- sult (directly or indirectly) without adequate recognition or compensation for use of town- ship road allowance or poles owned by the hydro system, Vaughan Township Council has passed a controlling bylaw. This provides that no person or cor- poration shall erect or main- tain across or along a public highway, towers, wires, cables, amplifiers or other accessory equipment for the purpose of transmitting electrical impulses, signals or messages unless au-‘ thorized by the township of‘ Vaughan.
