Pickering High School Rate Is 19 Mills *' BROUGHAM -- A Pickering, Township Couricil meeting Mon- May night .established the final tax rates by bylaws. Deputy eeve. Mrs. Jean McPherson chaired the meeting in the ab- sence of Reeve Laycox, now on vacation. The non- educational rates were established last week, showing. a slight increase over 1964 of .9 mills. The educational rates were gratifying to council- lors, who had anticipated them to be higher than those present- ed at the current meeting. The rate for the new School Area 1, which embraces the rural schools of the township, is 15 mills for residential and farm, and 16,7 mills for com- mercial and industrial. Area 2, the urban school area, is 31.3 mills ,for 'residential; 34.8 for commercial, School Section 5 is % a School Union 4 West 17.8. Separate School rates are: Ajax, 20,8; Pickering Area 1, 1tmills;' Area 2, 31:3 mills; 4 West, °19.4 mills; Bay Ridges, 31.3. mills; Rouge Hills, 36.3 milfs and Whitby, 22.1 mills, The high school rate is 19 mills. PRESENT BUDGET R. Van Houten members of the board of School Area 2 presented their budget, observing that the highest item and other and proper supervision. It is our feeling that we are certainly getting value for the dollar spent."" é BOARD COMMENDED Councillor. W. G. Newman commended the school board, saying that he appreciated the fact that the rate was only .5 of a mill higher than last year, when enrolment was increased to such an extent. A. W. Tyas, school admini- strator, explained a surplus of $73,715 from '1964, stating that a greater amount was received for provincial grant than antici- pated, miscellaneous income was received, and some antici- pated items of last year's ex- penditures were not made. There are 148 teachers on the staffs, each with an average classroom of 29.4 pupils in 135 operating classrooms, Councillor Hubert Wank noted that the township budget did not include amounts for walkways, and said, "It means there will be nothing done about these lagain this year." | Councillor Newman said that |since the budgets were set, and} tax bills were already being prepared, that perhaps a sum leould be provided from added assessment, which, he antici-| pated, would bring in "many) thousands of dollars'. "It is for this council to blush that this was not included," said Mr. Wank. A resolution was passed that $5,000 be set aside from 51A (added assessment) for side- walks to be constructed in the vicinity of schools, and paid for in the school areas in which they were placed. Similarly a resolution was passed that $3,000 be set aside from the same funds for school boards, this amount to be charg- ed to the police area. John Williams, of the School area board, said that at a meet- ing of the police commission and school board members, that it was determined that two, or preferably four, crossing guards were required, together with clothing and equipment. Councillor Hubert Wank sai that at a meeting of the High School Board to present its bud- get to the municipalities con- cerned, that only the clerk, Councillor Donald Waring and himself were in attendance from Pickering Township. This he re- gretted. Shop Location Data Given BROUGHAM -- Planning Di- rector J, H. Faulkner gave members of the Pickering Town- ship Council, at their meeting this week, the background of the' proposal to relocate a wood- working shop located on the east side of the Brock road between Brougham and Claremont. Mr. Faulkner explained that last October the planning board dealt with an application for a parcel to be separated from a 100-acre farm, so that Howard Burton could relocate his shop from its position close to the Brock road, soon to be widened at this point. The board recom- mended that consent be granted to separate a two-acre parcel located to the extreme soutn part of the firm. Council endors- ed this action in December. Subsequently, the owners of homes opposite the proposed shop location protested on the grounds that they had not been notified of the change, the ap- pearance of the shop, traffic hazard, fire hazard, Mr. and Mrs. C. Bishop, and Mr. and Mrs.' Whittington ap- peared before the board with a prepared brief in protest and the board, after considerable discussion in which it was re- He said the budget, requesting 19 mills to raise $595,944.44 for the Pickering Township share, was presented in a businesslike and commendable manner. letter of gratitude will be sent the High School Board.

Township engineer Paul Poul- isson said the relocated building must be of masonry construc- |supply BROUGHAM -- Oliver Lloyd, of Oliver Lloyd Associates, Pickering Township Engineer- ing Consultants, described Phase 1 of a township water system at this week's council meeting. Based on population figures and future growth of the town- ship, Mr. Lloyd said that it could be estimated that the water area may be fully de- veloped by the year 1985. "By that time a population of 111,000 people may be real- ized,' said the consultant. Mr. Lloyd spoke of the im- mediate demands, which are supplied by two sources, the J. Sherman Scott Plant, and the Rouge Plant. Economics dic tate, he said, that there be only one source of supply. BASIC PRIORITY The basic priority is to serv ice the West Rouge with a sup- ply of water from the Scoit plant, and provide some stor- age. The Scott plant services all the Bay Ridges area at this time, but if there were any failure, this entire area would be without water until such time as the problem is recti- fied. Phase 1 is a connections to |which has an _ undependable at present. Availabie storage, Mr. Lloyd maintained, increases the servicing of the treatment plant.

The recommended res- ervoir and pipe sizes are such that nothing would be changed Jneed for Phase 2, and others. sive as it is, would result in a "It is the start of something we need," said Mr. Waring, but unless we get a great influx of population there will be a high water rate." "You would not expand the water plant until you have new consumers," said. Mr. Lloyd. "It's not exorbitant when you realize the potential of this res- ervoir," said Mr. Newman. Councillor Newman suggest in the recom dations if the source of water were to be changed. COST IS $471,000 Councillors began studying the cost of Phase 1, which would be $471,000. Engineer Poulsson estimated that the extra levy on each household in the water area would be $5 per year, either in the form of water rates, or a_ capital charge.

Worse than that, hardly anybody bought it. _ That was back in 1883 when he first brought out 83. His sense of timing was terrible. People wanted whisky that burned all the way down And along came Mr. Seagram with 83, an easy tasting whisky with a civilized, understanding flavor. Our glorious founder might have been in for an inglorious fate, excepting that a strange thing happened. Time passed, and people started clamoring for whisky that was smoother, more gentle. And a lot of unsold 83 was around to meet the demand. So 83, the unwanted, became 83, the very much wanted. In fact, today, this is the most popular, largest selling whisky in its uppity price class, Cheers. SEAGRAM'S 83 Easy tasting. Easy mixing JOSEPH L SEAGRAN & SONS, LIOTTER, 'WATERLOO, OT.
