Wed- nesday of next week at 8 pm. Added Police Building Cost Irks King Mayor Don’t forget the country By FRED SIMPSON King Township Mayor Marg- aret Britnell has added her voice of disapproval to that of Aurora Mayor Evelyn Buck's in opposing an additional $355,000 cost for the new York Regional Police building in Richmond Hill. Mayor Britnell has taken this position while already on the run for re-election Decem- ber 2. “I've sent my letter off to the Ontario Municipal Board, too,” Mayor Britnell told "The Liberal." “Costs of buildings like this are tendered for one price and then just keep going up and up and I think it's about time we stopped it. A million dollars is enough." It was last March that York Regional Council approved $1.- 810.000 for the building which will serve the southern part of the region including Thornhill by bringing together the police departments of Richmond Hill Vaughan and Markham. Then came the news from Vanbots Construction that an additional $355,000 was requir- ed to meet increasing produc- tion costs. It had been the low Oak Ridges and western show on Sep- tember 14 at Bond Lake Arena. The show starts at 8 pm and the bar will open at 7. Honey West is the star singer. Also appearing will be Lloyd Macket and the North Winds. There will be door and dance prizes. Tic- kets at $10 a couple are available from Shirley Smith at 773-5754. Master of ceremonies will be Bob McAdorey of CFGM. This event is restricted to persons 18 years of age and over. At Brethren in Christ Church the first youth night of the year will be on Sep- tember 20 at 7:30 pm at the Oak Ridges Public School gym, and afterwards at the church for refreshments. Youth nights will be held on the first and third Friday of each month . throughout the coming year at the school gym- The Lake Wilcox Bowling League has just started a new season of 5-pin mixed bowling.

They were getting $63 a square foot which included everything and that's a lot of money." One of her main objections is that “it's getting to be a reg- ular habit for companies to ten- der at one 'price and just go on adding costs after that.” Mayor Britnell said she was fully aware costs are rising but “they shouldn’t be rising to this extent. They tell me the cost of steel has doubled. I've been informed the price of it had already gone up before they tendered.” WHERE THE MONEY? Mayor Britnell also wondered where the regional council was going to get the $355,000. “There's just no money in the budget anywhere to pay for this. I want to know where it's going to come from. Our five-year forecast doesn't call for this type of debenture ex- penditure. So we can’t deben- ture it. Lake Wilcox News first choir practice of the season will be held tomor- -row (Thursday) at 7:30 pm for the junior choir, and 8 pm for the senior. The following night (Fri- day) the married couples will be having a hay ride and corn roast at the Apple- ton Farm, RR 2, Sharon. at 8:30 pm. Any women interested in the UCW are invited to at- tend. On Wednesday of next week there will be an ACW executive meeting in the upper room of the parish hall at 8 pm. Rev. Gerber would like to thank the men of the con- gregation who helped to in- stal a new rope on the mem- orial flag pole Sunday of last week after the service. York Presbyterial UCW will be holding its Septem- ber meeting at St. Paul's United Church, Monday, September 23_ Registration and coffee at 7:30 pm, with the program at 8. The new rope was needed because the church flag was recently stolen, and who- ever did it had to cut the rope. It took eight men an hour to instal the new one. St. Paul’s United will hold a congregational board meeting on September 12 at 8 pm. Sunday school starts September 15 at 9:15 am for children from 6 to 11, and at 10:30 am for those from three to five years of age (during regular service), now for next year and I'm also against this happening. There will be a new council next year and I don’t think it would be a legitimate move to spend this amount and tell the new coun- cil to raise the tax levy next year. “It’s my opinion the OMB would have to give the region special permission and I don't know if this is forthcoming or not," she said. Mrs. Britneli said she talked with a number of ratepayers be fore deciding to oppose the in- crease and to send her letter of protest to the OMB. "I wantd to get some opin- ions and facts," she said. “I didn't want the OMB to think mine was just another frivol- ous objection." FURNISHING STILL TO COME Another sore point with Mayor Britnell is the "fact that this amount doesn't even include the furnishings. Heaven knows what this will cost us." Mrs. Britnell said she wasn't arguing about the need "for a new police building in the Rich- mond Hill area. I simply think the building being put up is too expensive for us.

A "Limey" And Voted, Too! King Of Northwest Mounted Any Minute By JANET RUSSELL (Oak Ridges Correspondent) Well, here it come folks. In the last Federal election, I voted. Yes, I confess. I did. You see, when the enum- erator came around I told her I understoodI wasn’t eligible to vote because I hadn't been in Canada long enough to become a Cana- dian citizen. She told me she The front page article on enumerators caught my eye. in particular the paragraph headed “British Can Vote." I read on and. horror of horrors, I got that old sink- ing feeling in the stomach. Like you get when you're in the passing lane of the 401 and something goes “Ker- runch" in the engine. That one! The paragraph read “They (the British) aren't prevent- ed from voting (in the municipal elections) as they were in the recent Federal and Provincial elections . . .” DASTARDLY VOTE The taste is beautiful. ight'\«'egetable flours we started to tell these people that there is a limit to what we can pay for and build ac- cordingly." It was Mayor Buck's letter to the OMB which prompted the York Regional Police Commis- sion to hold back on awarding the tender to Vanbots Construc- tion who had been recommend- ed by the commission’s archi- tect. Commissioner Ray Twinney said Mayor Buck filed her ob- jection “as an ordinary citizen and possibly as a member of regional council." Mrs. Buck's objections to the building have been evident from the start. “I don't believe the protec- tion for the people comes from a police building," she said, “it comes from having the po- lice spread throughout the area and moving around." Regional council had voted 7~5 to approve the added ex- penditure. Mayor Britnell planned to bring the matter up at the last King Council meeting but was unable to be there and the dis- cussion was shelved. was sure things had changed and I was eligible. I'm afraid I took her word for it and went ahead and voted. (Don't blame me if the government tumbles.) HAND 0N SHOULDER Any day now I'm expect- ing an official of the gov- ernment to knock on my door and after hearing my feeble ekplanation, lead me away into custody, leaving my two children sobbing with delight at the unex- pected removal of their jailer. Perhaps. as it was a Fed- eral election, they'll send me a Mountie. I can see him now on a large black horse 25 hands high, cantering up the driveway, looking vaguely reminiscent of Nel- son Eddy. I do hope he doesn't start singing! "The Liberal” is nlwul pleased to publish items of interest regarding peo- ple and events in Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts.
