Luke Ehricht of Klein- burg was number two in a pie eating contest Friday at the Thornlea “We had our steamer out and thawed the culverts so the backups were not as serious or as long lasting as they might have been," he said. (Continued from Page Hill works department. “We were also thankful no sanitary sewer backups were reported.“ (Continued from Page 1) “Our experience should be useful to some people,” he said. “And it keeps us occupied and out of trouble." “It's soul destroying to realize that once you‘ve cut the lawn and read the paper in the morning, that’s all you have to do for the rest of the day,“ he said. Besides the intersection of Oxford Street and Yonge. the Elgin Mills and Yonge intersection and Yonge Street South in the vicinity of the Dominion Store were under water for brief periods. Cars stalled and traffic was halted.

The latter was the only reported instance of flooding from the German Mills Creek which has in the past been a major cause of damage in flash floods. 19th Avenue was closed over- night. The works crew worked throughout the night Monday to restore the flooded roads to a passable condition. Backyard flooding and consequent basement flooding were reported throughout the town. but basement flooding was “rather spotty”. a spokesperson said.

In addition he said he has not received an official job description as promised. Nor has he been allowed to “clean up staff problems arising from the in- terference as created by the administrator."

Kentucky Fried Chicken is. by all accounts. the tastiest chicken in all the land. ‘ 187 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill Mayor George Burrows of Georgina Township said the mix used to show the regional deficit was as “stupid” as the old method of taxing farms by the size of their windows. The second category provided a 10 per- cent decrease in assessment of the private units, which had the effect of increasing the average deficit for all units by 10 percent in each of the first three years. Rising deficit By 1981 this had risen to 13 percent. When asked what figures had been used in the study, Johnson said it depended on “what you' re looking at.” However, looking at Markham and Vaughan, the high. low and middle ranges would be for homes at $40,000, $32,000 and $24,000. According to the report. the major reasons why an annual deficit occurs in ()HAl’ projects is because they have lower assessed values than private develop- ments. education expenditures tend to be higher. and “the effect of inflation on the financial projections is to‘ increase the annual deficit.“ Just big homes v “All they’re doing is producing big homes that nobody can afford," he said. Mayor Gladys Rolling of East Gwillimbury said there was only so much that could be absorbed through the tax base. The cost must be shared so that it wasn‘t “a detriment and liability to the rest of the municipality.” In recomménding that the region support OHAP, Pound said it was essential York (Continued from Page 3337.

The federal decision “is a com- promise that satisfies almost no one, except a few in the federal Cabinet," Kilbourn said in a telephone interview. Though Kilbourn wants to fight the airport. he described as “silly” and “unwise” telegrams from the Save Stouffville Committee and the Airport Review Committee demanding Marchand’s resignation. According to Marchand’s statement Thursday, Stouffville will not become a ghost town as was indicated by the Airport Review Commission. The commission recommended purchase of the homes in Stouffville and Claremont if people are worried about the noise. But since all international traffic will not be transferred to Pickering as thought by the commission, Mar- chand’s ministry calculates that “Stouffville will be “well beyond the 25 NEF (Noise Exposure Factor)” He proposes to meet with all levels of government “to establish'a program to collectively determine the facts as quickly as possible.” “I nevertheless recognize some of the residents of Stouffville and ar a continue to have concerns and I do not intend to treat these lightly,” he said. - “Wich respect to Markham." he continued, “although there is even less reason for concern. we intend to meet Hanson justifies compromise Municipalities better off to negotiate housing action voluntarily It‘s succulent and as tender as can be.

Also, a grant structure should “consider the capability of the municipality, region and school board to continue absorbing deficits beyond the three-year period n provided under the pi-eeent_pro_pos§ls.._... ‘ Another recommendation called for “special consideration" for York in the period between any agreement being signed and longâ€"term servicing capacity made available to York to assist in carrying expected deficits. This would acknowledge York’s limited short-term sewer and water capacity, and the fact government housing plans en~ courage residential development at the expense of industrial-commercial development. had a housing policy to meet present and future needs. Wantassistance Pound also suggested the minister of housing be asked to assist the region in arranging short-term servicing facilities for industrial and commercial develop- ments in the period up to provision of the long-term servicing capacity. He said there were bnly 'two ways the region and its members could absorb OHAP deficits. They were through an increase in the regional mill rate, and an improved commercial-industrial assessment ratio with the residents and analyze that situation carefully again." RegiOna] Councillor Ron Moran moved at Markham council last night that Mayor Anthony Roman find out what lands will be affected by an NEF rating of 25 or more and suggest the federal government offer to ex- propriate the land immediately. “If a person is going to have to relocate at some time in the future, why not let him have the opportunity to relocate now,” Moran said in a telephone interview before the meeting. The meeting occurred after The Liberal’s press deadline. “We don't neéd another four years of uncertainty,” Moran said. In his statement, Marchand said the Cabinet considered the potential of high speed trains and short takeoff and landing aircraft. “The development of this technology would not eliminate the need for a new Toronto airport,” he said. “(They) are not the answer for longâ€"haul flights.” In addition, he said the introduction of quieter jets supplemented by “retrofit and refan programs for older noisier aircraft” could not mitigate the effects of denser traffic at Malton. The single, 11,600-foot runway at Pickering will be built to handle the heaviest aircraft on the longest routes, Marchand said Thursday. The con- struction cost is estimated at $110 million in 1974 dollars. Figures were not given on the cost of expropriating land, It is estimated the airport will at- tract 10,000 airport-related jobs and an additional 10,000 off-site jobs in the Pickering area. 130 Yonge Street, Aurora out comes the Colonel’s Kentucky FriedChicken sealed full of flavour. It was imperative to provide “as much land as possible for industrial-commercial use on an interim basis if we are not to fall further behind in terms of our present tax base,“ Pound said. within‘the area municipalities Vaughan plan Pine Valley Village site covers about 1,000 acres in the Woodbridge area, and will have an ultimate population of 20,000 people, with some 4,200 elementary school students and 1.800 secondary. The village will also contain a community centre and a 25â€"acre shopping centre. Markham plan Milliken Mills is located in Markham and covers five neighborhoods, including the hamlet of Hagerman’s Corners. Burrows Mayor George Burrows of the Township of Georgina told a recent meeting of York Regional Council the Ontario drug plan as drawn up by the province was “unbelievable in its stupidity." It is expect'ed to contain 22,800 people. with about 4.250 elementary school students and 1,869 secondary. Community shofiping facilities and a central business park will be included in the development. Coun‘cmor Lois Hancey of Richmond Hill said there were numerous “implications” raps senior Dr. Burrows made his comments following presentation of a report of the health and social ser- vices committee. The report asked for support of a resolution from the County of Renfrew. drug plan The Renfrew resoiution said it objected to the new Ontario drug plan being made mandatory in homes for the aged. It asked a copy of the resolution be for- warded to all proper authorities. Government order The government’s edict was that, effective January 1, “all beneficiaries of old age security, guaranteed income supplement or family benefits under the gains program, will be provided with approved prescribed drugs free of charge." According to the Renfrew resolution, such a program would increase the costs of drugs by “300 percent or more.” add to the workload at the homes and require additional storage space for the drugs. Huge cost hike Dr. Burrows said the plan increased the cost of drugs “three or four times.” The effect on costs for the homes for the aged was “un- believable.” A wide small car is yours now in Pacer.
