"BOUNDARIES CRAZY” Councillor Ray Twinney of Newmarket said the latter would also like to come in for a change. "Our boundaries are crazy," he said. 1 This stated that council would have no objections to the boundary changes on the condition that the townline not be assumed as a regional road.

He was not insisting that it be made a regional road. PLAXTON RESOLUTION Mayor Robert Forhan of Newmarket said he felt Mac- taggart was correct in saying the boundaries had been im- posed without conferring first with councils. "I wonder if we should have some study by regional plan- ning to see if interior boundar- ies are adequate. or satisfactory within the regions." Forhan said. “I can name three or four properties that were shoved down our throats," Mayor Mac- taggart said. “I ask you to take a hard look at it and oppose this recommendation.“ Nearly 50 mothers attended the Wednesday morning meet- ing of the GMG with Principal Doug Bush of King Junior Pub- lic as guest speaker. Gray Coach Charged With Unsafe Vehicle A charge of operating an un- safe vehicle has been laid against Gray Coach Lines Ltd. following an accident on August 23 in which 25 people were taken to hospital. According to a spokesman for the Oak Ridges detachment of the Provincial Police Gray Coach. a subsidiary of the Toronto Transit Com- mission, has been summoned to appear in provincial court in Aurora October 4. The charge followed an analysis of the rear tires of the bus. Many of those taken to hos- pital were children returning home from a visit to the ONE. Ten of the 25 injured, from the Metro and Barrie areas, were admitted to York County Hospital in Newmarket after more than 20 doctors, were call- ed into the emergency ward. All the injured were discharged within a day.

Badminton One mother. Mrs. Marilynne Hunter. asked about adult courses in the new math and Mrs. Philomena Gilmour rec- ommended an expensive text by Harvard. Mr. Bush promised to look into the matter and if feasible the book would be purchased by the school and made available for reference. Mr. Bush said that he would be glad to see a home and school association take form again. There has not been one for the past three years. The merits of open space classrooms, parent volunteers and report cards were also dis- cussed. As to the question of Miss Cassel. the decision is not his. But certainly the requests of parents would be taken into consideration. Enrolment dropped this year to 88.6%. In comparison. staff rose to 96.1%.

This amount was the assessed value bf the property, he said. The board’s reserve bid on the property when it is auc- tioned will be in excess of the $19,000 figure. he said. He said that the figure for Pefferlaw. which is to be auc- tioned off October 11, was a special price set by the com- mittee for Georgina Township should it wish to purchase the school for community purposes. Mr. Bales made his remarks at a meeting of the board Sep- tember 11. during a report of the committee on the sale of schools. Concerned about the amount of “flak” that York County Board of Education has had over the sale of its schools. Trustee William Bales of East Gwillimbury stresses that it be made clear the asking price for the old Pefferlaw Public School is not $19,000 as reported in an area weekly.
