rt 8 the stowfywi rsuff tkntby knokr 8 1962 deputyreeve opposed to selling of land to hydro at 3000 an acre deputyreeve mrs jean mc pherson charged at a regular meeting of pickering twp council on monday night that the sale of 1017 acres of land in an industrial area at 3000 per acre would be a foolish piece of business the hour- long debate aroused strong ob jections from the deputy- reeve we would be giving them land at a cut price she said they wouldnt even pay taxes on it reeve sherman scott pointed out that the hydro planned to erect a tower line through a rrutherly section of the munici pality that would eventually hook up with a switching sta tion at cherrywood he contend ed that no matter what route was finalized there would be objections he said that the agreement had been turned down by the township plan- ring board the reeve stated that the hepc officials had thought that the s3000 per acre figure was rather high i feel that they are getting a piece ol very cheap proper ty argued councillor hubert wank as compared with some other parcels its practically a giveaway alternate routes reeve scott said that several alternate routes had been out- deakin lined and five of these were through the same area its been kicked around for three years he said he suggested that if there was any urgency for finalization of the deal the hydro would likely take action to expropriate the land if they would take a direct route it wouldnt be so bad said mrs mcpherson but theres nothing more ugly than those big towers cutting across the country she charged that an entire strip of land would be ruined for building purposes like the cnrtthey will like ly stick to their desired route but i feel the value of the land is worth more than 3000 she said that she had discus sed the matter with hydro per sonnel at some length its like trying to get blood out of a stone she said i dont think we can stop them but i feel that they should be willing to make con cessions said councillor wank it is something worth fighting for deputyreeve mcpherson not ed that in 99 of cases the council had shown itself to be reluctant to override the deci sions of the planning board ive been on planning board for two ears now and were no further ahead than when we started said councillor ross graduates receive diplomas at commencement friday twp option on land opposed by deputy deputyreeve mrs jean mc pherson criticized any move by the council that would acquire parcels ol industrial land by op tion in the twp of pickering without first selling at least one of its present sites the matter was discussed at some length at a regular meeting of council on monday night after the township industrial com mittee recommended that such a move be made im anxious to see some inside decorating paper hanging 1963 papers now in stock get thai- room done for christmas the lang service gormley ph 8865449 form of iudustry acquired first before we take an option on more land she said she con tended that under such an ar rangement the township would be expected to pick up its op tions before the expiry date if we were to the point where we were short of land it would be different she said im not in favour of tying up land then dropping it i dont think that the people would take too kindly to it councillor milton mowbray argued that the township would not be obligated to follow through with its puchase if such a move appeared unwise by taking an option we would only be attempting to keep land prices in line we just cant wait until our property is all sold agreed councillor hubert wank i dont think we should get ahead of ourselves warned reeve sherman scott he agre ed with deputyreeve mcpher son that the township would be subject to criticism if it acquir ed an option on land but let it drop there are some things that an individual can do that a municipality cant do he said he suggested however that he could see nothirfg wrong with the council appointing an agent to look into the possibility of land options the members agieed that the industrial com mittees resolution should be forwarded to their solicitors for a recommendation thirtyone grade 13
