assessment yet they too have had much development particularly around the two lakes reeve griffin of markham township said he had worked hard to obtain the results arrived at since it would save his municipality several thousand dollars annually beyond this issue dealt with during the june session lasting eight days little contentious bust ness was encountered behind the scenes eyebrows were raised when a bylaw slipped through increasing the salaries of two highly esteemed officials but the bylaw passed without a single councillor protesting and without the two county commissioners say ing anything even when they claimed they did not know such a bylaw was contemplated com missioner nelson baylen said he was never consulted and exotained that the finance committee had inspired it it exemplified- the fact that few members wish to oppose the spending of money where county officials are concerned could be that all were in aecor the increase this latter opinion is hardly the right one since a major ity of councillors could not have stood up and told council what the present salary of the officials was a little closer study of their obligations would be a welcome improvement in the county coun cil said one member councillors did oppose the grant ing of 50000 for green belt lands to be purchased by the toronto york planning board this is a board of very well paid men who seek to plan for the future develop ment of the district around tor- ontothe county pays one third and the city two thirds of their expenses however reeve gariner of leaside could not sell the idea to the county to spend 50000 even though the city was ready to put up an additional 150000 for the purchase of lands for beautificatlon purposes gormley miss maude jones of ballantrae spent last weekend with
