gravel entrance north to the bloomington rd the theory is that trucks would be diverted north from the pit 2 presently the large gravel trucks turn j south on the 7th passing through lemonville 2 and along a stretch of road that has become a rural residential area they then use the stouffville rd to hook up with woodbine ave don mills rd or highway 48 we would like to- think that paving the road northward would indeed divert the trucks but it does not seem probable that this would happen the road south of the pit is good enough so the truckers would still rather save time going souths the real answer which the town would have liked to have seen would be to ban trucks from the southern stretch the regional engineering commissioner rejected this approach s ito usvheavy truck ban would be the only sure way of getting the trucks to use the northern route paving would help too both things must be done to force trucks to use bloomington rd bible thought for the week from the living bible

editorial which criticized the markham fair n board for the way it conducted the deal to sell the fairgrounds at highways 7 and 48 at that 5 time it was feared the deal might fall 5 through t i i recently we had the opportunity to talk to fair president ivan norton he felt that the 5 facts had been misrepresented at that time j he said that the fair board knew what it v j was doing in making the original deal and had j set the closing date for the purchase of the new site on 18th ave far enough ahead the psale of the former site as it was the closing date was extended markham council came to agreement with the developers and theeal was completed for the proposed 100acre proposed site we were a little hard on the fair board at the time but subsequent events have shown that they had perhaps a better grasp of the situation than we had given them credit for thepurchase has been complete and the fair will be into its hew location when fair time rolls around in 1977 as things have worked out the board looks very good on the deal the fair badly needed expanded grounds and facilities and it appears that all systems are go for the big move feline addition creates problems the
