LETTER from Emergency Meas- ures Organization from Mr. S. Wot- ten which was read over and filed for reference, WORK on Gossard Building -- A letter was read from Mr. Donald Hill- house, General Manager of the Cana- dian H. W. Gossard Co. "I was indeed sorry to hear the de- cision has been made by your Council to delay the repair. of -the back .wall and ceiling of the property we rent from your Corporation, As you may know, in the past few months our Company has made a sub- stantial increase in investment in the Port Perry plant. It is our objective to create a modern and efficient pro- duction facility. We have been given to understand that your Council is in- terested in more industrial activity in your community and would, therefore, be anxious to co-operate and support a Company who wished to expand its activities in your town." The Clerk was instructed to acknow- ledge the letter of Mr. Donald Hill- house and state that Council are de- finitely - interested -in industrial acti. vity in the community and that the work had only been delayed partly for the reason of not having budgeted for this expenditure and also that skilled men for repairing the south wall of the building were not avail. able. Subject to your approval the lower- ing of thé ceiling and the installing of acoustic tile can be proceeded with at once but the repairing of the south wall and the painting of the windows will have to wait until there is suit- able weather in the spring. You will agree that it is impossible to do the outside work now and it is impractical during the winter months. During the past year it became ne- 'cessary to increase the mill rate ten mills due almost entirely to school costs, We have business men in town paying as much, if not more taxes for not any more accommodation than you are occupying. 'Having regard to penditure on the building, Council feel that there should be a new lease for three years at $160.00 per month, Please let us know if this is accept- able to you and if so the inside work will be proceeded with at once.

J. W. Lowry, Bell manager for this area, says that since the Blackstock exchange is in the same local calling area as Port Perry, the report to the Board also applies to the Blackstock exchange. If on the basis of the report the board directs that the local calling area be classified into the next higher rate group, Blackstock's telehpone rates--as well as those for Port Perry --would be increased slightly to make them the same as those paid in other oxchange with a similar number of telephones in their local calling areas. WINE aTY fig LIIIEy Fe . TAY EY Vi re in Telephone Rates for Port Perry & Blackstock a. For example, the monthly charge for two-party line residence service would be increased by 10 cents, and the in- dividual Inie residence service by 20 cents. ' Telephone rates for any exchange are governed by the number of tele-- phones in its local calling area, re- cognizing the principle that the value of the service to each customer increases as the number of telephones within the local calling area increases. The Bell company is required to re- port to the board twice yearly on the status of exchanges whose total tele- phones have increased, or decreased, more than five per cent beyond the limits of their group. The Port Perry-Blackstock area has expanded steadily in recent years and its progress has been accompanied by a parallel growth in the number of telephones. f i { ;
