St the reeve said would answer it in reports committees Councillor Georg Knapton reminded council Monday night Later in th meeting he gave no answer- he answer the inquiry tonight Both Councillors Knapton an Haskett are members of the road and bridges committee Reeve I want discuss the problem with the before reporting to council The reeve told us at the las council meeting he had a prepared to present said Mr Knapton He didnt consult Mr or myself before it Yes agreed the reeve have one ready but since then have checked with several dents on that street and I am I didnt present the report I sec the situation differently It was agreed that the should be discussed by the road and bridges committee before report is presented to council OUR READERS HERE THERE Continued from Page the Jakes cottagers in that area were advised to follow a certain procedure to purify their drink ing water It was recommended that two drops of be added each quart of water and that it be allowed stand for a half hour before using The gave the notice But he advised listeners to add two quarters of to each quart of water Apparently having been old about his error the announcer returned to I he air a few minutes later interrupting a program of recorded music to correct his mistake He told everyone what he had said and what he should have said Then to make quite certain that everyone had the in formation correctly he said he would repeat the instructions Add two quarts of to one quarter of water he told his listeners write fa Dear Jack 221 St Newmarket ANGRY RESIDENTS Continued from Page Lots find out who is respons ible and fire him suggested the mayor There has been a lot of rain but that doesnt alter the fact that the holes arent fixed Part of the delay whs blamed on ft shortage of valves for the line Those received had the wrong threads Suggestions that council should go ahead and fill the holes were countered with the suggestion that the town would be liable in the future if they in terfered on the job Whats liability compared to some child falling in and drown ing replied Councillor Child J think we should fill it up Reeve Davis promised that the town men would pump out the holes the next day and would keep an eye nit them until it was possible to fill them In TURN DOWN Continued from Page I build a apartment build ing within a specified time When the time limit expired the land was by the town and the purchase price of was refunded in Mr A second agreement was enter ed Into with Mr Bond paying for the property agree ing to build his apartment build ing within in months That agreement expired this May and once council decided to re fund the money to Mr and to advertise the property for sale by tender Mr offered buy the I not outright for The two other offers were conditional ones and called he payment of for the land with the pur chase monev refunded Mr failed to build apartment building or the payment of with this purchase price being refunded if a building permit or the mort gage were not available PLAN WORK Continued from Page liable rugs were also destroyed he claimed He assured council he was not picking a quand but wished them to what act ually had been the result of this years flood Dr Bernard Libel who would he required pay over if the original drainage plan went through claimed that percent of the trouble origin ated from drain Most of the people agreed that this particular property might be the main source of the trouble Said Mr if we take this flood water over to Avenue down an open ditch on the east side it would not touch Dr Libels land His suggestion was for an open ditch along Sheppard Avenue from the Metro Road to the rear of Hamiltons properly on the and from that point in a covered ditch for the rest of the way to the lake The open part would be about feel long and from two and a half to four feet deep Mr also claims that Avenue is feet wide according to the township plan except beside the Hamilton prop erty where it is only feel This the reason fur the drain being dosed for the last fed Councillors William King said the land was nice and dry in the east side of Sheppard Avenue and he could see no reason why they should be brought into it Simple Plan As suggestions were still invit ed Dr Libel said he had studied the problem and was of the opin ion that A It was an emer gency it was a long term one He further suggested that the manual now at hand should be a guide to follow for all time lo come Since January of this year his property had been inundated from the property Ills suggestion was thai a catch at the foot of drain be used to better advantage and a couple of simple drains put across his property to the lake He further claimed that he be lieved thai a great amount of re lief would be received from it now and to enable them to pro ceed with the manual in years come The plan feasible and the delegation agreed that it should be given a chance Mr said the cost of this would under for the actual work and would fit Into an overall plan for the future With this new scheme only to properly owners would lie affected and a great relief from flooding would result Reeve Pollock then arranged for Dr Libel and Mr to meet on the site of the affected land later this week and able report will Ik- then be brought in A public meeting has been arranged by council for July I think the suggestion to reno vate the Eagle Street ceme tery is an admirable one which should meet with sympathetic re sponse Enclosed is small don ation towards this goal Yours very truly P Kelley Council has approved the pay ment of approximately for sewer and water connections to the community swimming pool Councillor George op posed the payment The Swimming Pool committee has raised close to 50000 for the pool and is handing it over to the town said Reeve Edward Wrightman The committee has asked if the town will pay for these connections from general funds Who will pay for the water used at the pool asked Mr That isnt covered in this reso lution replied the reeve All this covers is the installation of water lines and a sewer main A meter will he put on the same as at the arena and the pool will pay for whatever water it uses until such timo as this policy is amended he added We need more than assump tion for this argued Mr Do we ever install water con nections without a meter asked Councillor George Knapton No replied the mayor Newmarket is extremely for tunate that these publicspirited Citizens have made this pool available and that the capital ex penditure was not burden on the town said Councillor Glad stone idler I feel we should have an un animous vote on this SI grant suggested Mayor Glad- man The town is getting a pool free It certainly will not look Rood if we balk paying Mr voted against the motion It carried with the sup port of the remainder of coun cil SWIMMING LESSONS START THIS WEEK The number of youngsters regis tered for swimming lessons

hoard for the changes The children will be told the hours for classes but in the case of the younger ones it would be wiser for an adult to make certain of the cor rect time SELL DEBENTURES Finance
