son and mr allan thompson uxbridge council concerned by gravel company operations uxbridge township council ex pressed grave concern over what they term encroachment on town ship property by several gravel concerns it was suited at the reg ular meeting on monday evening that a portion of the township road had been undermined by pit oper ations the company involved is the western sand and gravel located in whitchurch township councillor john ball stated that he believed whitchurch council should be notified immediately criticism of stouffville sand gravel was expressed by council over the removal of fill which they claimed was partially blocking the roadway at the conclusion of the discus sion it was agreed that contacts shouid be made with both gravel companies and the one located in whitchurch township will be ask ed to erect a guard rail it was staled members seek cooperation of residents one of the biggest problems con fronting the uxbridge township council at the present time is the construction of a sidewalk in goodwood although the residents were promised some time ago that the job would be done and an appropriation was made on the budget for the expenditure there are other underlying factors which make the completion of the scheme not only very difficult but almost useless the council members know the flood conditions which prevail in goodwood during the spring but these conditions cannot be righted unless the residents are willing to operate in order that a satis factory sidewalk may be built it will be necessary to build culverts under the walks to let the water escape and prevent flooding road supt stan slack explained there was little use in building the sidewalk unless suitable drainage was constructed but he claimed that the residents would only plug the drains up like they have in the past 1 think we should clean up the ditches and open the culverts said councillor bunker youll need an army to do it argued road supt slack let us go ahead with the walk and if the residents plug the drains we will make them clean out the culverts just as they must clean up junk that is dumped on the roadside continued councillor bunker this subject has been kicked around long enough claimed reeve catherwood i think we should start the walk complete with culverts if we dont start soon it will be too late agreed councillor dows- well road supt slack explained that the water follows its natural course in goodwood but the resi dents are not satisfied to let it follow that course but insist on backing it up until a miniature lake is formed if the ditches and culverts had been left open the sidewalks that are there today would be alright continued mr slack the council after much discus sion agreed to investigate the possibility of purchasing 200 bags of cement for the purpose of con structing a walk south of the four corners on the west side of the road rent controls are expected to continue in most of the larger cities markham purchases second new truck markham township council on monday evening agreed by resolu tion to purchase a new 4ton inter national truck from international motors in stouffville at- a tender price of 5000 council recently purchased a pickup truck from littles of richmond hill for use by the road supt road supt buchanan explained that the township had had two trucks hired this year and had hired one nearly all last winter councillor lemasurier attempted to argue that new drivers would have to lie engaged the road supt told council no new men would be necessary as the one rented truck was already being driven by a township employee councillor hooper pressed for the purchase of a new lwheel drive truck he staled that if 5000 could be saved in the build ing of the new municipal garage the heavier truck could be pur chased councillor lemasurier said that he understood the road supt to say that trucks could be rented cheaper than owned but mr buchanan denied this reeve timbers was not favor able to the large truck as he con tended the department would not approve of the additional expendi ture during a brief lull in proceed ings the resolution was passed to purchase the 4ton truck
