Mr. Naylor said Con- sulting Engineer Andy Spreight of London, who supervised the building of Bond Lake Arena, has assured the town the faulty beams were not used in its construction. Correspon- dence to that effect is _ex- pected at an early date and a retraction by the CBC will be required. In a triple-headeF at Bayview October 7 Langstaff emerged with a win, a loss and a tie.

He said police made every effort possible to locate the owners of the lost and stolen bikes. but for some reason or another. few claims were ever made for them. Mr. Underwood said the Chamber would be unable to continue its 1974 and 1975 winter programs and meetings. because it was unsuccessful in filling vacated jobs on the executive.

More In Markham At a meeting of Markham Town Council last week, a letter was received from R.G. Underwood. president of Markham Chamber of Commerce, saying that this year it was dropping the Santa Clause Parade, which it had formerly sponsored. in June the department had accumulated 100 bicycles. plus an assort- ment of other goods. The government first learned of the problems with the Glulam beams in 1972 when the federal govern- ment issued a warning to all provinces. At that time, the province warned the owners.

The Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations will be sending a consulting engineer, to corroborate that finding. 30 Buildings The Ministry has reported there are more than 30 buildings in Ontario, in- cluding churches, schools, arenas and ski lodges, in danger of collapsing as laminated beams used in their construction are ap- parently coming apart because of high or fluc- tuating humidity. In adâ€" dition there are cottage, residential and large inâ€" dustrial properties involved. He said the residential part of the development will require rezoning and allocation of services, noting the developers have acquired access to Benson Avenue for traffic from the residential portion, which may eventually also provide access to the commercial development. “In order to create a more lively atmosphere in the core of the town, this type of development is very desirable,“ he said. The Taylors will be joining a medical team assembled in Pittsburgh under the leadership of Dr. Robert Hingson and the Brother's Brother Foun- dation.

He is very concerned about the lack of parks in some of Markham’s newer communities, especially In the next two years development pressure is expected to be at its highest in the Town of Markham. Muldrew feels his ex- perience and interest will help to bring the type of development that the people of the town deserve. He also states this future growth must be controlled with public imput and at the same time, must be planned so growth costs do not become a tax burden to existing residents. (From Page 1) “Transit (must stay controlled By the Town of Markham and not be con- trolled by a regional transit authority. I support co- ordination of transit throughout the Region of York, but Markham buses must continue to be con- trolled and owned by Markham. I am concerned if transit is controlled by a regional transit authority that Markham could be forced into larger buses on our residential streets,” he said.

(Photo by Plock) POODLE SCEN E In receiving the report, Commissioner Stewart Rumble said there would always be problems, “but the police seem to be looking after the situation in an effective manner". He said his investigation showed the majority of people were satisfied with the policing of the town. Only two private complaints have been made about loitering on the streets, but the police themselves had laid 14 charges for the same offence. In his subsequent report, Chief Crawford said the matter of a regular man on the beat would be con- sidered in future budget proposals. “The worst elements disperse when police are in cars.” Mr. Sweezie said. They could sense them, he said. Chief‘s Report As a result of his com- plaints, the commission asked Police Chief Bruce Crawford to make a study of the situation and to report back in four weeks. Last November, Mr. Sweezie laid a complaint before York Regional Police Commission about youthful rowdyism on Newmarket’s Main Street. He asked for a regular beat patrolman, rather than patrol by police car only. The charge was later dismissed in provincial court. Police said the boy was dragged into the station by Mr.'Sweezie, kicking and shouting This summer, the accused charged a Newmarket youth with common assault after the latter allegedly made a gesture at him in front of his house. Police arfiested Mr Sw~e;e_zie the next day. The car took off over a lawn and then leaped a concrete curb to the road. The driver abandoned it a few minutes later at Imperial Street and Lascelles Boulevard, and made his escape. He then radioed for help and chased the car in his own vehicle. The wild motorist tried to run him off the road, and shortly after hit two other police cars. After turning into a parking lot, police said the car sideswiped several other vehicles. At that point, police attempted to trap the car. But the driver tried to run them down. Shots were then fired by the police. Early Birds (7.40pm.) 3 SPECIAL GAMES road Thunder Bay, King City.

The school board budget signified they took this saving on teachers’ salaries into account when they set their budget. At the time of the strike we did not have a budget presented to us by the school board.” “But you could have withheld the surplus amount," stated Mr. Handbury.
