friday evening to hear the discussion on the proposed new road through town debated by interested ratepayers the meeting wa3 most orderly and both factions for and against conducted them selves in a fair and proper manner true there was little interruption but that was in order there was no heckling however and from the platform mr uusnell was the only speaker against although anyone was invited to address the audience mr james ratcliff on request of die council acted as chairman he said that when the present council took ollice in january they were faced witli the question of getting a road to replace the present deplor able condition an engineer was en gaged and after getting a proposi tion before the york head commis sion which they considered fair for the town a public meeting was call ed and the ratepayers consulted council was advised to go ahead since then some opposition bad aris en now a second meeting is called we invite full discussion and an opportunity will be given to ask questions said mr ratclin on the platform sal all the members of the council including the reeve also engineer babcoek who is acting for the town and engineer rose of york county reeve ii w sanders was first in vited f sneak lie declared that thej cost of the uwvv pavineit would tut burden the tax payers a petition had been sent in which lie admitted gave the council a jolt but not a serious one the engineers estimate for he towns share of this new pavement was- placed at sf 5 ii 0 0 0 bat now the tenders are in for the work and said the reeve i am glad to announce that the lowest tender on the towns end of this work is only 540 it this is for an asphalt top road one of the finest buill in tho province with storm sewers gutters and curbs to meet this expenditure of 54918 we shall have to raise an annual tax of 3600 plus a frontage tax for those fronting on both sides of main street of 9c per lenial foot per year in the east end and 14c per lenial root in the west end the extra frontage charges in tlie west end is due to the fact that the road will be 2s feet wide there as against 21 feet in the east end to raise 600 per year a rate of six mills is required this would not mean that the taxes advance this amount lie said for cost of oiling and repairs to the present road is running tlie town 900 per year which would be saved if a permanent road is put down and this saving means a mill and a half concluded the reeve the figures given you by lh reeve said engineer babcoek are quite correct they include every of walls you better send along those in old age pensions with that good road which jocular remark brought rounds of laughter the petition was taken up by councillor rowbotbam he evidently made a careful study of it from evey angle ho had clerk dougherty come to the platform and read the figures the clerk found there were 1s6 names on the petition 17 of whom wero not ratepayers according to the assessment roll which left 169 legal signers and the total number of ratepayers eligible to sign was given as 372 thus the petition was 42 short of having 50 per cent of the names on after giving this informa tion the clerk retired and mr rowbothani proceeded as the major part of the cost at this road comes on main street property owners said sir rowbcth- am i have examined the petition from that angle we find that 69 owners on the street signed tlie document while 91 others did not sign tlie assessment of those who did sign totals 99000 the assess ment of those who did not sign totals 178375 over the whole town tlie signers represent an assessment of 207760 wliilo those wlio did not sign represent 391241 or in other words only onethird of tlie assessment is represented on tlie petition said tlie speaker in con clusion mr rowbothaam said in considered the petition in reality mandate to go ahead with tlie work at this point mr walls explained that he had gone out with the petition and found some who were opposed to the new road but were unwilling to sign for fear of thin skins or of offending some one favorable to the road then he said he had not canvassed the business men thoroughly as they had asked for a road but some since changed their opinion while still others lived out of town and could not be seen although they are counted as in favor of the- road be cause they had not signed tlie petition in hi opening remarks councillor rusnell said he was very strongly in favor of good roads but not at high cost this class of road proposed lie thought was beyond our reach we or ijyt want sewers arq con 11 do v open dltitinm lie h 1 that he biriiess men y a little previous in isting for a road and alter all it tight lo be pal i for by the county alone he predicted that some people t small moans may lose their homes by this added taxation aier riinmn on a plat form lor fiir years tiet advocated a god rad through stoultville councillor hcrasky said we hail come to where desire would lie fulfilled an effort had been made to build this fine road without curbs or gutters but the commission would not put down this type of pavement without gutters and sewers so we must have personal notes detail of work in connection with titei tne sa i they are paying 50- job it provides for all catch baisinsj noo for cen 20 feet a town manholes and adjustment of street grades at intersections even to taking up a few blocks of pavement if necessary in order to make i con form to the grade of tlie road you will have to raise 3600 per ear for 20 years and those on slain street pay in addition 9c and 14c per runn ing foot per year frontage tax if they wish this may he paid in one instalment those in the east end who pay 9c can settle when the work is completed for 113 per foot and those in the west end 175 that is a man with a 50 foot frontage can pay over to the council if his proper ty is in the east end 5650 and lie free from any further frontage charges in the west end he can pay over if be has a 50 ft frontage ss7- 50 and be relieved of further frontage charges in answer to a question as to who pays for tlie removal of the old road tho engineer saftl the contractor must take it up and remove it the oxponse of which is included in the tender to another enquiry it was stated that the provincial highway through urooklyn was laid at around the- same costs as the road in stouffville taking into consideration the width and under drainage that road said the engineer cost around 33000 per mile which is a fair figure with open ditches and 20 foot width tlie difference in cost there and here was due to extra width and other legimate details sir george dowswell from the audience declared that the price of our road was too high in lleiverton high taxes made it so that people could not sell their properties and the high taxes came with paved streets give us a votp on this question demanded sir walls to which one of the council said they would con sider the petition well said sir with low taxes and no conveniences wasnt in it today witli a moderately taxed place with conveniences said sir borinsky councillor ward predicted that when tlie road is built and next january conies lie ratepayers would want to return the entire council with the exception of councillor rusnell because they had shown tliey were men of foresight lie aimed to get rid of perpetual repairs and conditions that have obtained for 10 or 20 years these things can not be tolerated today he thought that when the county offer ed us 50000 toward a good road wo ought to grasp the opportunity which meant putting up practically dollar for dollar sly soninlaw said the speaker drove here from quebec a distance of 400 miles he lias gone back to tell his people that in stouffville where his father-in- law is a councillor they had the worst roads he encountered in the whole journey laughter the audience asked to hoar engineer harvey rose of york county who said he was merely here on request and the matter at hand was one for engineer babcoek and the ratepayers to discuss his one point was that there are plenty of places in york county that would be glad to get that 50000 which the commissioners have offered to spend in stouffville this summer to isir walls who asked if be did not think it a shame to tear up much of the present road his answer was yea and so meaning that if the type ot road desired to be built here was to be put down it was necessary to tear up some road which still has service in it the meeting broke up with god save the king and without any vote being
