fourth letter was from the Federal Department of Transport In referring to it Councillor termed the letter some more eyewash that doc nothing to clarify the situation The following is the text of the

As explained In our letter of February I the existing Canadian television channel al location plan as tabled under the CanadianUSA Television Agreement provides for the most efficient use of the limited number of channels available with a minimum of interference by maintaining minimum geo graphical separations between and adjacent channel stations The agreement Is not being used as excuse

and Kirk Everett of the Newmar ket Scout group More than homeowners in the Edwin Lyon subdivision members of the subdivisions ratepayers association Appeared before Newmarket council on April to report a severe drain age problem affecting the pro perties on Boothbay Crescent They said that for more than a year they have been attempting to have the situation corrected but that nothing had been done by the developer of the subdi vision Harold Council unanimously support a resolution authorizing the roads and bridges committee to meet with Mr Lenhardt to com plete the necessary work as soon as possible Mr Lenhardt who was in attendance at the meet ing endorsed the resolution making it legally binding on himself Spokesmen for the delegation was Mr Robert Lalor a Booth- bay Crescent property owner who is a civil engineer He ex plained that although the associ ation realized that it was not the towns responsibility to the situation its members want ed to acquaint council with the problem Mr Lator told council that a natural water course had been altered at the subdivision by the contractor A ditch had been dug approximately 17 months ago across the rear of the properties on Crescent and water rerouted into it The flow of water is causing considerable No Assessment Boost I 141 erosion and the owners of the affected properties want the ditch removed he said Mr explained that he had checked the subdivision plans prior to buying property there and that the water course was ho where near the lot where the water course is now He questioned Mr consulting engineer re garding the ditch after its In stallation and was told It was a temporary measure A series of personal inquiries and exchanges of- letters follow ed Mr Lalor outlined the con tents of these to council First Mr Lenhardt accepted responsibility for the drainage problem During July the property owners were prom ised that the situation would be corrected Mr Lalor said but the last letter he had received regarding the matter came from Mr Toronto solicitor and said that Mr had no responsibility in the matter He received it in February 1956 We feel it is entirely the fault of Mr and his em ployees explained Mr Lalor but one of these days he will ask to be relieved of this subdi vision We want the town to be aware of the situation before that time Mr Lalor said that the rate payers association had two re quests to make of council First it wanted council to take the treatment that the homeowners had received from Mr Lenhardt into consideration when it was entering into future agreements with him And second it asked Newmarket council with the the entire town exception of DeputyReeve Vio- J The resolution read That this approved a re- council in order to make clear introduced by Council- solution tors Alex and John that no single group in town would be reassessed unless there was a general reassess ment of all buildings in town There is no point or purpose served in the motion said Mrs Thats why I voted against it Councillor Alex ex plained that the motion was in troduced because council wanted to reassure the industries in town that they did not plan to increase their assessments arbi trarily He said that he consid ered it necessary for council to go on record that it would not reassess industries until there was a general reassessment of JAILED

agreement with Mr Lenhardt he was responsible for all surface drainage on the sub division One of the reasons for the de lay in dealing with the problem Mr Lalor said was that the sub- divider intended contacting the Department of Highways to see if the department would con sider installing a storm sewer to handle the drainage of water from highway It would the problem in the subdivision if that water could be diverted from the present water course Reeve Edward re ported that he had attended a meeting with department repre sentatives at lhe site but that the had denied any re sponsibility in the matter It is not the policy of the of highways to take over such water drainage prob lems replied Mr Lalor I know because I was assistant maintenance engineer at one time Although
