Deputy-reeve Anthony Roman told Mr. Hitch that although council was rejecting the pres- ent proposal. resubmission of an alternative would result in its being given further considera- tion by council. Councillor Jongeneel observ- ed that location of apartments over stores tended to create a messy appearance. “There is such a development not far from this area. but it is obvious from the appearance of the de- velopment that a previous coun- cil made a mistake which we now have to live with“. he said. Mr. Hitch replied that such developments can be properly maintained and there is no rea- son for unsightly garbage as storage areas can be incorpor- ated in building designs and all garbage can be kept out of sight. He. added that, a further guarantee nf maintenance of the Rosburn Investments- Limited proposal was the fact they plan to have a full-time. caretaker reside in one of the apartments. Councillor Jongeneel com- plained garbage from the apart- ments was unsightly and main- tenance of the area was not up to acceptable standards. FCounty Board Approves REVESEd 'Inflation War Curbs Building In Markham 'l‘he disputed item was con- sideration of an application for a cemetery permit submitted on behalf of the trustees of the Toronto General Burying Grounds for a 177W~acre site in the Concession 3 area. SUGGEST NEGOTIATION Council suggested Della Serra negotiate with the property owner, on the east. side of a pro- posed road with a view to shar- ing the cost of complete ser- vices. including curbs. gutters and a paved road because it is agreed by council that it would not be practical to permit other than complete services. Mr. Serra objected to the cost because he is only able to create two new lots on Lillian Street north of Clarke Avenue and servicing the whole section of road made it uneconomical. FUEL DISTRIBUTION Public Fuels Transmission Services Limited received ap- proval for installation of cen- tralized fuel distribution in Bayview Fairways Subdivision which is being developed by Costain Estates Limited.

COST INCREASE Mr. Crisp advised council Honeywell Incorporated has in- creased its Contract price for maintenance of office machin- ery and equipment by $202 ef- fective October 1. Council ap- proved the increase. PROHIBIT DISPLAY A proposed agreement with Oriole Lumber Limited was considered and council agreed to a recommendation that the amending bylaw required con- tain prohibition of displays of goods outside the premises and such other matters as are con- tained in the agreement. TO BUILD EXTENSION A 365-foot extension to Steel- case Road is to be constructed as a result of a proposal sub- mitted by the owner of land in Concession 3. who verbally stated he would convey lands needed for sewer easements without compensation provided the road was extended. The engineering department estimated cost of the extension would be $13,800, which is little more than the price which would likely he paid for the two required easements. FOUR-WAY SIGNS It. was also recommended that. a bylaw to establish four-way stop signs at Sciberras Road and Fred Varley Drive in Unionville be prepared for council consideration.

Another Year's Study Future Ajax, Pickering Higher interest rates and fed- eral government attempts to cool the economy in an effort to stem the rise of inflation are reflected in the Markham From January to August, 1969, at the height of an unprece- dented building boom there was $12_075.525 worth of construc- tion for which permits had been issued. Figures for the January to August period this year show It will he at least another year before Queen‘s Park de- cides whether it will allow Metro to absorb Ajax and Pick- ering, Municipal Affairs Minis- ter Darcy McKeough said last week. He acknowledged the govern- ment is generally opposed to any eastward expansion of Metro. McKeough made the state- ment under questioning at a meeting between Metro officials and provincial cabinet minis- tors. He said the final decision will hinge to a great extent. on the findings of a study now being made of the Oshawa- Whithy development region. The government, favors Ajax and Pickering being in the Osh- awa orbit rather than a part of Metro. SEE YOUR LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER the total value of building has dropped to 38.306.095.
