evening that the present lot fee of s100 for new subdivisions should be increas ed to 500- the increase would be justi fied in view of the increased costs of various services and likely addition to the sewage dis posal plant said the deputy- reeve he cited the fact that markham village had just in creased their lot fee to 700 id want time to think that over and i certainly wouldnt go for 7tx a lot unless i was shown a need for additional ser vices the subdivider wasnt al ready paying for said council lor parsons id like to check the services that we are now asking for i believe there arc a couple that thould be added that are being ixkcd for in other places such as a lateral to take care of rain water commented councillor laushway deputyreeve wagg added that he believed that stouffvllle had the lowest lot fee of any muni cipality in the district councillor parsons expressed the view that there was a limit to what a subdivider could be asked to pay unless one wanted the lots to go to

the ditches properly and left the cul verts in workable condition dont you think that figure is a little high asked coun cillor parsons dcprecve wagg agreed that it might be if a builder was tak ing out several permits but he i thought an adjustment could be made in such cases we certainly havent had any cooperation from builders so far and they would possibly be a little more careful if they knew their 100 was at stake said the deputyreeve id throw a little responsibility on the builder the deputyreeve drew atten tion to the fact that the builders left their houses with the ditch es half filled with dirt ana de bris as well as the new culverts the town then had to war the expense of cleaning up after them reeve lehman drew attention to the fact that in the new wat son heights subdivision there would be no ditches or culverts they could break down the new curbs though and that might be worse replied the deputyreeve fouffirihe vol 70 no is thk tribune stouffville ontario
