recommendation to the markham twp parks and recreation commission has pointed to the need of a public swimming pool within the municipality with the suggested site serving as an addition to the thornlea secondary school bayview avenue the total cost including change rooms is estimated at 280000 two pools at lesser cost were also considered but considered impractical for future requirements according to surveys the committee said pool useage in markham townsliip would include approximately 11000 swimmers per week cutting this figure by 50 percent would still mean 800 persons per day based on current population totals the report contained in a 12page brief suppoit the thornlea site since an addition to the building there is already planned this would remove the additional cost of land and services that would otherwise be required the pool as recom mended would measure 75 by 45 and ac commodate up to 212 swimmers the enclosure would measure 120 by 85 according to a schedule of rates as established by the committee income on an annual basis would amount to 48000 shoots up own house pickering twp a pickering township man shot up the interior of his own house on rosebank road

the constant spiralling of costs that for years has been affecting just about every commodity and service you can think of and that includes lots of things such as power lines transformer stations and labour costs thats why short of performing the impossible we have con stantly been striving to maintain the highest level of service without giving an inch to inflationary pressures while it may sound somewhat boastful our record in protecting your interests has been highly successful for instance for the past 20 years from 1949 to 1968 whereas the cost of living index has increased 58 from 100 to 158 and the cost of power pur chased from ontario hydro has increased 372 the average cost per kilowatthour for energy used by the residential cus tomers in stouffville has increased only 73 over this same 20 year period it has worked this way because our residents have made much fuller use of electricity and therefore more economical use of hydro plant and services thats why the incentives built into the rate structure have been retained such as the extremely low rate blocks for customers with hydro approved water heaters hence the unit cost will diminish as you add to your enjoyment of elec trical living electricity in all its applications will indeed remain the biggest bargain in the family budget even though we are reluctantly compelled to increase the rates new monthly net rates to

the stouffville public utilities commission has in the past main tained three major rate schedules commercial industrial and residential with small commercial customers billed at residential rates with the implementation of this rate adjustment com mercial and industrial customers will be billed under a new rate structure called the general rate the general rate is an important step forward in rate structure development it is equitable yet simple eliminating the cost dif ferential in bills to commercial and industrial customers with identical load characteristics in addition small commercial customers will no longer be billed at residential rates but at a special small commercial rale the rate changes for commercial industrial and small commercial customers are shown opposite
