‘ The Bayview Fairways’ gym is a poor place to hold a meeting. From the back row. it is difficult to under- stand what people say. If a question is not directed in one's general direction, it is difficult to hear it at all. But there is nothing to prevent one sitting near the front, since they had no more than 25 people at any one time. Nevertheless a large crowd. I would think, would create far 00 many echoes to under- tand the subject matter of an entire meeting. The meeting opened with‘ ominations in which I did ot know who was who. But a ew twist was added when it came to the directors. There is no limit to the number of directors. Therefore every member came become one, hus attending the important eetings and observing first- and what is to be planned nd how. l The Ratepayers' association intends to become a corpora- ion therefore no individual f John Street just past awn Hill Trail. and a new ddition for Bayview Fair- ays school.

RICHXVIOND HILL THORNBILL O AURORA NEWMARKE‘I‘ At the meeting of the Bay- view Fairways Ratepayers. a week ago last Monday. I found the atmosphere very relaxed.

Cheers. “This is our main prob’ lem”. Out of the six wards, south Thornhill has two. We have three councillors out of the nine. We also have over half of the population and taxation! The seriousness of this problem cannot be over- stated. “This is a farm council. We don't under- stand their problems and they don't understand ours." It is simply a case of us not having representative government. ‘ School News planned for January of next year. Council says that it takes 32 weeks to construct a school, which can only be taken as a joke. “I have never heard of a school being constructed in 32 weeks." It was suggested that ten- nis courts be erected but council has already informed us to use the courts in Bay- view Glen, which are usually empty. That means have your children ride along muddy John Street and then down Bayview which has no side- walks. Council is pressuring the firms on John Street, east of Bayview Fairways to upkeep their fronts but little else can be done. The rate- payers association has-been fighting the dump for three years. Sometimes 600 trucks per day use the dump. Little progress has been made due to an imbalance of repre- sentation on town council. COLETTE by Margaret Crosland.

Yes, Mrs. Major was there to say ‘that there were no telephone calls. That took all con- cerned, if they were con- cerned, off the hook. How nice. I had an article in the “Liberal” on August 4, 1972, with names and views of the concerned homeowners, who have been paying taxes for a long time, living near this creek but of course, such articles are a passing fant- asy. So what if your base- ment is filled with some- one’s sewage, bail it out! and your garden is ruined, there a lot of vegetables at the supermarket, why should The meeting dealt with the development of the Langstaff Jail Farm, which for a small amount of fifty million dollars you could de- velop in any way you want, and the 48 inch sewage line which is to go along the German Mills Creek or the Don Tributary as it is named on the map. These are very important issues to be sure, since these are developments of the very near future and will affect all of us if we are still around â€"â€" but what Mrs. Muus. Beno Gutsh and myself were interested in was “When is something go ing to be done about this creek, the German Mills or the Don Tributary.” These are definitely not the names that spring to mind when a rainstorm comes along and Richmond Hill's sewers back- up and we are bailing our basements out.
