whitchurch township council was councillor fred timbers almost void of any public interest councillor harper said that at 10 passing of the road budget for the per hour which the township is money spent in june was one of paying for bulldozer work the the main items amounting to about s1300 owing to the heavy snow bills last winter the road budget was overspent and it is nee essary to apply for an additional sum of 5000 council decided even then we will have to go very careful declared reeve evans i think the council should con sider the purchase of a bulldozer instead of buying a second main- tainer declared deputy reeve ed logan which opened up a discus sion on the matter i agree with with you but i wouldnt cancel the maintainer now on order until we machine would surely pay for itself mr harper thereupon submitted a resolution calling for tenders for a bulldozer with winter equipment for removing snow and the resolu tion carried unanimously two small sheep claims were or dered paid where dogs had caused damaged s15 went to art vernon and s10 to george drtiery as an indication of the real estate activity in the township the regis try office account for the month of may showed 5s property changes of one kind or another in whit church township dtfoial it is only a newspaper guess but the cost of a sewerage system complete to serve the needs of stouffvilie would run something like 100 per house or approximately 150000 a similar project down in scarboro where a sewerage system is wanted engineers estimate will cost 500 pet- house in the division served such a price is not impossible for a place like stouff vilie to face in the not distant future and if the town water system had been placed on a business basis years ago instead of supplying water to hundreds of tenants and all and sundry at less than cost a sizeable fund could have been accumulated for a sewerage system that might be undertaken not too many years hence nothing is so much desired by the ratepayers as a system of sewers that would do away with cess pools and septic tanks as well as being the answer to flooded cellars every spring the council might well start now to give the whole matter very serious consideration it will take a few years to develop the idea and accumulate costs more moxey for roads at mondays meeting of uxbridge township council it was decided to increase the township road budget by asking the dept of highways to approve an addition to the amount set early in the year owing i to heavy snow costs last winter an increase seems imperative

thorough job was carried out in the township of whitchurch last week when some 73 miles of road side weeds were drenched with a chemical weed killer applied by the municipal spraying co with one of their specially equipped spraying machines mounted on a truck as the truck proceeds along the highways or country roads three men sitting behind each other operate the sprays one with the longest nozzle reaches to the fence line ten nozzles are in operation by reason of their height in the truck weeds are easily seen by the men and the chemical sprayed only the north and west sides of the roads were sprayed last week over the entire length of the 73 miles in august a second applica tion will be put on next year the east and south sides of the same roadways will be treated it is claimed by the spraying company chat this is the best known method to adopt and if maintained over a period of a few ycars remarkable results will be obtained the cost of the two sprays is ap proximately
