Newmarkets town limits which do not coincide with township planning has encouraged more zeal among councillors for a plan ning body Syd Sriglcy St told council on Monday night that a proposed new street Bog- art Ave would be a detriment to a potential property development on the Whitchurch side of the east town limits He said that if the street were continued east it would run along the back yards of houses Mr suggested a small change in the plan to direct the course of the street which seem ed to suit members of council already had it in mind to request tonight that council ap point a planning committee to look after such problems said Mayor Joseph Vale Council later passed a resolution to ap point a standing committee for planning which would include the chairman of committees on water roads and bridges and property Chin man of the commit tee Reeve Arthur D Evans would be chairman of the special planning committee I suggest that you go a step further and have the committee meet with the Whitchurch planning board to discuss such problems said Mr Legge He is a member of the Whitchurch council and a former member of Newmarket council The mayor agreed that such meetings should be held In my opinion if you had ap pointed a planning board or com mittee long ago you would not have such problems as these and you would at least have a good plan he said Whitchurch council has had a planning board for some time he told council In the township no person can sell a lot without ar rangements before the board The board decides whether property changes will landlock another property owner or affect any ad jacent property Some members of council ob jected to giving that much power to a board Reeve Arthur Evans said How can you give power to a board to govern the sale of a lot Solicitor K Stiver said such cases would involve ex propriation by council Other councillors favored kind of planning body but not a board with the entire member ship of persons who are not on council Town Engineer told of the dangers of outside persons on planning boards As an example he cited certain areas near Toronto where planning boards set aside resi dential areas and found later it was impossible to acquire mun icipal services in the areas It would be better if members of council were on the planning body The committee chairmen on council would know whether new services would be available for new developments he said Said Deputy Reeve J L I dont know that we would not be wise to have a planning board outside council The mayor favored a planning committee consisting of mem bers of council A planning committee on council would be a standing committee Of course we could have an advisory board outside council DEBENTURES SOLD A Newmarket town debenture issue of was

storms and Mr said that the work should bo done and paid for on the general tax offset the problem of water pour ing down the street he said Mayor Vale suggested that council wait and see what the results are after the sidewalks are put in rather than go ahead with a local improvement pro The mayor said that such a project on the general tax rate would be contrary to the recent policy made by council It has been an accepted policy that no local improvements such as pay ing new sewers and sidewalks be paid by the general tax rate Such improvements arc all to be done as a share be- the town and the ratepay ers whose frontages are on tho section to be improved A recent request by owners on the western extension of Ontario Page Col Council decided that the work would not be done as a general cost to the town On Monday night a petition was brought in for a local improvement plan whereby the ratepayers in the area share the cost I still think it should be paid for oh the general tax
