the now township clerk Irwin Winch who was appointed at the begin ning of last year If we had the year to go over again I dont think I would change any of the work council has done in 1951 said Deputy- Lloyd Pollock He inti mated that he would be running for reeve next year since Mr Doyle had stated that would be his final year on council Mr Pollock said he would like to see a new township office in the future He said that if there had not been one or two heavy expenditures during the past year the township might have bought a building or built a new municipal building He said that the township had put in an application to York County council for a decent road from Toronto to Lake Sim- coo We told the county where we wanted it to take over township roads for a better through high way he said dont think that the lake shore road Is cap able of taking the traffic it does especially when there is a 30 mile all along the lake We need a secondary road to take the bulk of the traffic He said that the county will eventually toko over a road that the county engineer has already approved of the idea Spooking about the complete reassessment of township Mr Pollock sold that the coun cil expects plenty of appeals but that the court of revision can take time to investigate them This week the court of revision has been reviewing nearly appeals There was little criticism aim ed at

enough light She criticized a council res olution to make a beach which claims is owned by the born a public beach According to Smalley Sur vey she said the actual posi tion of tho lako shore road should bo under of Simcoo but because of constant shore erosion it had been wash ed The highway is a trespass road on her pro perty she claims I had a fence put up on my beach and the township

strong support by electors on Monday in what is believed to be the largest vote ever polled in Newmarket The two leaders finished with a sizable margin over last years councillors and their totals the first in New- market to reach four figures Boyd headed the polls with votes and Mrs Mac took second place with She was votes ahead of number three councillor Charles VanZant who polled Two veteran councillors bowed out Frank Bowser and Tom Birrell It would have been Frank Bowsers year on Newmarket council NO DOUBTS ABOUT ELECTION There were no doubts about this years election The last councillor elected was Rudy with who had a comfortable lead over Frank Bowsers Aubrey Scythes polled the lowest figure Last year there were two votes between Frank Bowser and defeated candidate Mrs In a recount challenge by Mrs Bowser remained ahead of Mrs but she gained enough votes for a total which was greater than that of Lome According to law however the recount was a contest between Bowser and only and re mained elected There were sufficient differences in total votes this year to definitely place candidates elected or defeated The I smallest vote gap was between defeated candidates
