4 v A strong of the decision of Bern Allan Ontario fete of highway In refund to grant permit to th Maple Racing dub to erect a In town ship tor the re jection of application was cluttering up of high way with congested traffic A a through artery to northern Ontario the highway would not be able to accommodate the great volume of traffic that would grow from raceway activi ties The site of the proposed track was within a half mile A over which the department Jurisdiction A small ma group in the township had opposed the scheme King council met with the de partment on Monday morning of last wee in a second attempt to obtain his approval This was followed by meeting of the racing club with the minister in the afternoon when he gave his unofficial declaration of rejec tion The official announcement of the rejection came on Thurs day March On March King township council read a letter from the minister to effect The obliteration of the three- million dollar project is consider ed by some as a loss to the township in taxation revenue increased market value of land unwinding the proposed site employment and e enlarge ment of district A section of property owners bold this opinion Determined to promote the interests of a large majority of taxpayers Reeve Hodgson and Clerk Rose sought an interview with Premier Leslie Frost on March to present the case- At that time the prem ier was said to be too busy to see the delegation- When the Minister of High ways indicated he saw no ob jection to the speedway being built in any other part of the township his argument on the density of traffic on highway appeared weak in the opin ion of the King councillors The flow of traffic they said would be taxed on no matter in what part of the municipality a speedway could be located Highway could not escape a higher rate of traffic In my opinion there appears to be some influence behind the scene that not giving justice to the whole project declared Sam Atkinson president of the Ratepayers whoso members are strong proponents for the pro ject It is too bad one person should have the say over the whole township Earl a committee member of the Association said There are four highways to use in the township There have been no restrictions on factories and an open air theatre adja cent to our super highway he Said community less than two miles from the propos ed track had envisioned con siderable expansion if the speed way were built We need in dustry in the township carry the householders and this was one way of producing the re suits he said Bake Sale Tea The Guide Association which is an organization of mothers of girl guides and brownies is plan an evening sale of home baking and a tea at King City United church on Tuesday at headed by Mrs J Davie the president Settle SabdWslofi Problems Over Kings Problems concerning Clear- view Garden subdivision Xing were cleared up satisfac torily between Alfred the siibdiviaer the township en gineer and Kins township on March In his report Mr Bardawill made startling rev elation when he said had choice but to approv al on the engineering drawings in the second developments M Findlay told council Mr told council he is putting in 38inch culverts and that he will maintain the open drainage ditches and culverts but will not put in storm sew also that the ditches will be bank sodded to prevent erosion He will also put up a five foot high concrete in front of his own house He said King City village trustees have guaranteed adequate town water supply to the subdivision Council re quested a letter from the trustees to this effect Mr McBride now ready to have his plan approved He has 28 lots in the second de velopment of which all but two or three have been spoken for Houses are to be started in July Whitchurch township council last week endorsed the stand taken by Aurora council in rec ommending that water be made available from Lake or Ontario to supply future needs for water in this The members who saw no im mediate Hanger of shortage in the township felt they should help the watershortage munici palities in their representations to the province The matter Is now under active study by Ontario government The stand taken by Newmar ket With regard to television re was also backed by the members of council Interfer ence of the Barrio TV station with Buffalo reception has prompted Newmarket to com plain to the Department of Transport on three occasions In reply to these questions the government department has stated that international agree ment divides up the chan nels which arc practicable and says the installation of high gain directional antennas will solve any reception problems dim view of these answers was taken by Newmarket who forwarded the following reply to the Minister of Transport Channel- allocation is no ex cuse for preventing Newmarket from receiving TV broadcasts from Buffalo could have been assigned to Channel since Toronto rumored to be switching to Channel This would allow us as good a choice of stations as we had before the broadcasts spoiled it for us With reference to the use of High Gain antennas the let ter continues We do cot see why Newmarket citizens should pay out to to avoid the interference brought about in giving Channel instead of to for Buffalo to be al lowed to compete with Cana dian stations the letter adds are Caracjian broadcasts which we wouldnt trade for any foreign programs But there are other times when we prefer to listen to our neighbors to the south And as longas it can be done without other communi ties being adversely affected we believe it is our privilege to do so Department store sales In Christmas week of 1955 were percent higher than in the like period of s Taxation to support CBC oper ations now average about 8 per family per year Reeve Hodgson announc ed the purchase of a site for a new municipal building at a meeting of King township coun cil on Monday The site is on the property of Mrs J Glass King west of highway clover leaf The lot has 284 feet frontage and feet depth containing approximately and a half acres It is west of the house and lot owned by Mr arid Mrs Clyde Cairns Council is consulting the town ship solicitor J Lucas oh the bylaws on municipal buildings A down payment has been made to Mrs Glass and a survey will be made prior to the deed being turned over to the township Name Inspector Allan Cutting Kettleby was awarded the tender as warble fly inspector in King township his charges being cents hour labor and cents per mile for his car Three tenders were received the highest being per hour and cents mileage submitted by Howard Morning of Snowball who was the inspec tor for the past two years The other offer from Edward Wood was labor and mileage The difference of cents in labor charged be tween the high and the lowest bid brought out considerable dis cussion The debate centred on whether the higher price asked by an experienced man for this type of work was of more impor tance than the financial benefit from the lowest bid to the tax payers We must account for the dif ference in price and give the reason to taxpayers Reeve Hodgson said Because one man had experience how can we judge that another man will not do a good job also he asked me question was settled by a vote with three councillors ap proving the lowest bid and one upholding the price of an ex perienced person Frank Douglas Schomberg I was given the contract for spraying and the use of his equipment at 500 per hour One tender was received Three tenders were
