Will share expenses The Councils of Port Perry and Reach have reached official agreement on a sharing of costs for snow- plowing, maintenance and repair to Simcoe Street. In an agreement signed by Port Perry Council, Septem- ber 5, and by Reach on September 6, the stretch of Simcoe Street from Mac- Donald to Bay Streets will be the responsibility of the Village, and the stretch from Bay Street to the the 7th Concession Roach will be maintained by Reach Township. This agreement is to 'expire April 9, 1974, the same time as other road main- tenance sharing agreements between the two municipal- ities expire. 2 ARG FOP TEE PEG (fC I aren ON NE RS EE NI AR Ha Some 300 to 400 pupils "congregated at the north end of the school where they were -briefed by the organizers of the walkout on the reasons for doing so. They made it quite clear to the students they were not just out for the fun of it, but because they wanted to get back the activities which they were being denied: . A few straglers that were obviously out just for the sake of having a day off were condemned by the organizers "when they weié'séen walking - towards town, and the stu- dents retaliated with *"Boos" as they left. In a brief interview with Mr. G. McDonald, principal, before the students actually walked out, he said that students walking out of the classes will be marked absent and classes will continue as usual even if there is only one student present. ~ Mr. McDonald said that he had heard rumours that the students would be walking Important Meeting The annual meeting of Port Perry Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Centennial Restaurant, Wednes- day (tonight) Sept. 13. Cocktails 6 to 7 p.m. followed by dinner. Hopes to have Queen St. Steps are being under- taken by the Village of Port Perry for the re-paving of Queen Street. Tentative plans discussed at the regular meeting of September 5 call for the section from Simcoe Street to Water Street to be re-paved, and these plans have been submitted to the Construction Division of the Ministry of the Environment (formerly Ontario Water Resources Commission). Although no specific date for the work was discussed, Council did express the hope that the job could be carried out this fall. Under the terms of the 'repaved before winter sewer construction agree- ment, costs of the re-paving will be met on a share basis between the Municipality and Clairson Construction, the company which did the work on the sewer install- ations. However it is not known at this time what the Village's share of the re- paving cost will be. Since money has not been budget- ed for the re-paving this year, Council hopes its share of the cost can be included in the overall sewer installation payments. Some filling in parts of the street that have settled is necessary before paving can begin. dents wall out and was quite sure that they would do so, but was not sure if they would be doing it for designated reasons, or just because. other schools had walked out in recent days.

Volume 106- Port Perry, Ont., Wed., Sept. 13,1972 -No.47 The municipally owned cabins at Birdseye Centre have a date with the auctio- neer some time this fall. Council had discussed the idea of doing away with the cabins a couple of months ago, and when the discussion came up again at the regular meeting of September 5, it was officially agreed that the nine cabins and their con- tents will be auctioned off. There are two reasons for getting rid of the cabins. They haven't been showing much of a profit in the last couple of years, and they do not conform with an official Park Plan which is now being prepared. Approval is expected in the near future. The Park Plan calls for an expansion of camping and picnic facilities in Birdseye Centre, and excludes the cabins. . The municipality acquired the cabins when it purchased the Birdseye Centre Park three years ago from Mr. Edward Michell. Mr. Michell had the cabins in operation Resignation of Darcy McKeough No upset to Regional Government According to some politi- cal figures at the local municipal level the resigna- tion of Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough from the Conservative "Cabinet last week will not upset the move towards regional govern- ment in Ontario County. Although implementation date for regional govern- ment in this area has not yet been specifically stated, speculation has it that some sort of municipal restruct- uring will occur as of January 1, 1974. Mr. McKeough, as mini- ster of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Af- fairs has been responsible for the several changes in municipal government structure in other areas since government policy in this matter was implemen- ted in Ottawa-Charleton, York, Niagara and the District Municipality of Muskoka. When asked for an opinion on what possible effects McKeough"s resignation could have on future regional governments, Conservative MPP, Dr. M. Dymond said that the government policy has been éstablished, and will be carried out regard- Hospital Report Week Ending September 7th Admissions .............. 26 Births. .i. cours itiiin Nil Deaths: ...........0u 1 Emergencies .......:....136 Operations ............... 8 Discharges ............... 26 Remaining ............... 29 less of who has the portfolio. "Members come and go," said Dr. Dymond, 'but governments must go on." He went on to say that although he has no evidence to back this up, he still expects January 1, 1974 to be the date for regional govern- ment in this area. Reach Reeve Sam Oyler said possibly there could have been some effect over McKeough"s resignation, but he added, with the ap- pointment of Charles Mc- Naughton to the vacant position "I expect the regional government plans will go on the way they are." "Mr. Oyler said he feels this way because McNaughton was one of the men who (Continued on Page 8) ; Will give up cabins at Birdseye Centre for several years prior to that. Apparently the cabins made 'some money" the" first year the Village took -over the Park, but they have not done so well since. The cabins and the con- tents will be auctioned sep- erately. Council set no speci- fic date for the sale, but indicated it would like to have the cabins disposed of in mid October. School Bd. will not pay for guards Ontario County Board of Education has turned down a request from Council that the Board pay for two school crossing guards on Highway 7A at Simcoe and Arrow Streets. The Village asked that the Board do' this because in some municipalities in Ont- ario County payment for Crossing Guard service has been made by the Board. -Board Trustee Gord Goode - told Council that the Board had no official policy on this matter, but Mr. Goode said that at a meeting September 5, the Board decided it will no longer supply crossing guards to any municipality. The Village is presently seeking to hire a crossing guard to work on Highway 7A at Arrow Street. These duties have been handled up to this time by Mr. Rowland McLean. However, Council feels that as By-Law officer and Building Inspector, Mr. McLean should not also have the added work of crossing guard duty. No wonder Glenn Wanamaker is beaming with happiness.
