tribune stouffville 1200 tons sand for markhams icy roads markham twp road neer jack howard presented his yearend repor to the in augural seision of council on monday outlining the work accomplished and purchases made during the past year interesting was the fact that a total of 1200 tons of sand have beer spread on icyroads during december the follow ing is the text of the complete report as presented by mr howard the purpose of this repor is to give the reader a general idea of what some of our main projects were during the past year we do not wish to bore you with any great amount of detail but more information is of course available upon re quest the addition to our staff of mr c whetter as stock and time keeper has proved to be of great benefit he started with us early in the year and is doing a fine job late in the year mr john nigh joined the staff as an engineering assist ant and of course last summer mr t canning was appointed road foreman as for the other members of our road depart ment all that we can say is that markham township is for tunate to have such a fine group of men last summer we were put on a permanent fiveday week but whenever necessary the men are always ready and willing to work day or night while on the subject of staff it might be well to mention that a resolution was passed officially appointing the firm of h a babcock as consulting engineers for the township this was thought necessary due to the great amount of ex tra engineering required in re building bridges destroyed by the oct 15th hurricane upon looking back we find that a total of twelve road com mittee meetings were held dur ing 1954 in addition to this there were three days spent last spring when the road com mittee and other members of council toured all of the twp roads several pieces of new equip ment were bought during the year a new fiveton interna tional truck was purchased to replace the old kb 8 thorn- hill village invested in a small tractor to cut weeds etc two other purchases were an air pump for the garage and pump ing equipment for spraying cold patch also worthy of men tion are a steering booster for the cat 12 grader and a used road drag at the time that our budget was set last year it was decid ed to do more road oiling as phalt prime than the year be fore we are responsible for some 150 miles of road and of these about 55 miles were trea ted with asphalt prime at a total cost of 38212 in addition 30 continuous miles were treat ed with calcium and the bal ance were all spot treated with calcium in front of houses the total cost of this calcium am ounted to 15298 one of the disadvantages of oiled roads is the prevalence of pot holes therefore any program of oiling should be accompanied by a program of patching we have used hot as phalt cold mix and a calcium mix but the most satisfactory appears to be a spray patch using asphalt emulsion and gravel it was for this purpose that the abovementioned spray pump was purchased approxi mately 13515 was spent on patching during 1951 prior to the hurricane 24998 tons of gravel had been placed on our roads at a total cost of 20810 since then 22621 tons have been used but most of this has been where the flood had washed out sections of road about one mile of road was completely rebuilt last sum mer and an additional 414 miles were reditched both sides an other project was the improv ing of the proctor ave hill miscellaneous minor drainage problems were investigated and appropriate action taken the usual weed control pro gram was followed in the early summer this consisted of spraying ninety percent of our roadsides with weed killer and cutting as much as possible our sprayer was also used on the warble fly project road and driveway culverts accounted for their fair share of our time during 1954 a total of about 119 drive cul verts and 30 road culverts were installed many of our old road culverts are in poor condition and we feel that it is important that these be replaced some jobs which were con tracted out were the construc tion of 700 feel of storm drain at unionville the construction of 500 feet of sidewalk at tho- rnhill and the asphalt resur facing of ruggles ave essex ave sussex ave and two sec tions of kennedv road we were of course busv with snow fencing this fall so far this winter we have not had to handle verv much snow but slippery road- have been a problem fortunately we had a small paved area constructed in our yard thus summer and this is a tremendous aid in mixing sand and salt and load ing trucks about 1200 ton of sand have been spread on our roads since the beginning of december considerable dme was spent by the engineer two projects for victoria square birthday greetings to mr ja cob williams on jan 6 to da

donated 155000 worth of clothing food shoes bedding and hospital supplies to various parts of the world in the past year the do nations came from many men- nonite groups throughout the country including contributions from the stouffville area it was a continuation of re lief work intensified during the second world war when men nonites in the united states and canada spent millions in war relief this year some of the sup plies went to arab refugees in jordan and to old folk and children in central europe about 6000 christmas bundles were distributed to children the mennonite central com mittee with headquarters in waterloo is the organization handling mennonite relief its director is e g snyder of hes- peler the committee maintains staffs in the various countries it serves in conjunction with american mennonites about 18 canadians serve throughout the world woodrow ramseyer of baden was one of the latest to leave going to korea clothing ls one of the more important items included in re lief bundles miss alice snyder looks after this department which includes a cutting room where material ls prepared for sewing by mennonite churches in the district more than 30000 worth of canned beef was also sent last year the cattle is donated out right or purchased with funds donated by individual menno nite churches cattle are slaughtered at the j m schneider ltd plant and canned by s s martin and sons of floradale the central committee also does work in paraguay and ur uguay assistance has included sending roadbuilding machin ery building hospitals and op erating an experimental farm next summer one u the con struction of roads in plan 3505 under the local improvement act and the other is the con struction of the road 16 bay- view drainage ditch under the municipal drainage act an other project scheduled for next year is the erection of street signs naming our con cession roads along no 7 high way and our north and south town lines the engineer has from time to time been busied with cer tain work in connection i h the planning board anotner important phase of his work has been in regard to the pro gram of test drilling for water a report such as this for the year 1954 would of course not be complete without some ref erence to hurricane hazel however the writer has sub mitted earlier reports cover ing this diturbaree and we feel that it is not necessary to repeat what has already leen said suffice to observe that there is still a lot of work to be done before our bridges are re built and our roads back in norma condition and thus we conclude our re port for 1954 we have tried to serve the taxpayers of mark- barn township to the best of our ability and i h hoped th3t we have succeeded in at vat lining upisoiie small measure
