Some people would prefer to go to the other side of the world if yon pay their expenses rather them dig locally Last week Councillor Bust decided that the town was pay ing too much to the well driller tor not getting water He brought in an old trapper from over Ridge who was mi posed to have been an au thority on water and a with the divining rod It was the same dy the ear nival came to town A group of doubting member of coun cil gathered a field on the southern of tovn where the trapper thought wa ter likely would be found In terested citizens who had been taking their children to the car nival in the next lot gathered to gape The old trapper took his fork- ad stick out of an old violin Editors Notebook We hear some enjoyable rep artee at the town council meet ing from to time and this weeks meeting was a special one The major contributor with the quick wit Councillor There was some discussion this week about the name of streets in Newmarket Council lor referred to all the local names on streets and said he thought some should hear the names of national figures instead of local ones I have nothing against Harry Stan Miller nor lot- Vale for that matter local names on local street hut this is Newmarket Canada not Newmarket per iod He suggested such national personalities- as Mackenzie King it Bennett and Sir John A after whom street should le named we dont even have a King St- he said when he was trying to ease and dusted the may or shook hands and the reeve and deputyreeve wished him good luck- Coun cillor Busts chest swelled Be ing responsible- for finding wa ter his reelection be as sured in December In fact he might have with the idea of running against the deputy That would mean a county council post And that might mean he could be a coun ty commissioner even head up the Home for the Aged commit tee and everybody knows what that means be lots of mileage too To get back to the water story the old rapper got a glassy look in his eye and start ed marching around the field holding the forked stick out in front of him A hush fell over the crowd The trapper went stiff and his whiskers flared out Like a ro bot he took mechanical steps toward the fence where there was a grove of cedars his eyes were glassy and the forked stick as though a volt charge was going through it I think this heres signifi cant whispered Councillor Bust who motioned the crowd forward like a scoutmaster on a scavenger hunt with his boys following close behind- The old trapper stopped at the grove of trees and fell over unconscious his forked stick broken Wow It must be a underground lake weve found cried Bust It was later in the evening that Councillor Bust was picked up by the local gendarmes for disturbing the peace and for having consumed too much gin He was the butt of the town joke of the year and were afraid his political career has been ruined Theyd forgotten that car nival had set up tents in the next field i n d the cedar grove And right behind the trees was the Tunnel Of Love concession with the big lank of water where the couples took their little boat rides in the darkened tent tunnel The old trappers divining rod was right but il didnt

the problems in subdivisions by Newmarket local people might suppose that then no such thing as a good subdivide Quite naturally they probably have it in mind that a subdivide- is a scheming indivi dual who big profits and runs for it leaving be hind the problems for the new home owners and the local government has a major exception in town namely the Shady Acres Development Company It established a north of Davis Drive the County of York administration buildings Although it is the border in East had to be made with Newmarket town council for muni cipal services When Councillor was chairman of the plan ning committee the Shady Acres company was required to produce industrial assessment within the town to offset the subdivisions requirements local services and to balance the assessment The firm was to build a factory with approximately feet of floor space and upon it being rented or sold to an industry to build another of approximately feet The firm built the first plant on Charles St of Square feet beyond what the town asked of it That building is the new plant for the Kra and press It is an excellent building and no work has been left undone New plans have been drawn up for a second building next dour of 1000 square feet floor area again going beyond the towns requirements We hear of no complaint about the Shady Acre subdivision and it generally considered to be a good development The developers are looking after the small problems which will always crop up among new home owners The Shady Acres development has hitherto received no publicity because there has been nothing but good concerning it As some readers tell us we should not forget to write about the good aide of community affairs in Newmarket Messrs and Bis- gotitd have taken an interest in the community and although they are not residents have friends hare We have knowledge of a number of worthy community projects they have assisted and they chose to remain anonymous in making their contributions While town council gave away a good part of the town to o I r it was strict with Shady Acres No doubt it is discouraging to the firm to see advantages going to other concerns when it has more than lived up to its obligations to the town and taken a genuine Interest in the community TO SPEND MORE A being carried out at the present time in Newmarket by a firm of is assumed that the reassessment will eliminate any un fairness which probably now causing some resi dents to pay more taxes than they should be paying and others to pay It also is assumed that the pre- sent mill rate would raise more money in Newmarket with a new equalized assessment More money may be raised but not likely saved It seem that municipal debts go up in proportion to in creasing asessmenta Ontarios municipalities have been breaking records in taxes and debts Taxable assessment at the end of last year stood at or an increase of more than lit per cent over the base of set The gross de benture debt stood percent than the base It is to be hoped that a higher total assessment on the town of will not encourage future to be carried away with Wie thought that the ceiling will be lifted by the Ontario
