v Plana are being made for the official opening of the Newmar ket public library arid the prob able date lit Saturday June The new building on Park Avenue is a credit to the town but Ue present white coating on the bricks caused by winter construction does not enhance the exterior The library board has been assured that the white color caused by the frost will be washed away before long v Congratulations to the man Smoke Rings for winning the junior C hockey champion of Ontario The sponsor of the team Mr Peter Gorman and Mr Herb Cain coach serve much credit along with Smoke Ring players They predicted a winning team long before the season started and there was no time during the reason when they needed to doubt their predictions Mr Gorman finds himself feuding with our sports editor is constantly reminding his readers of the large number of penalties in hockey these days We would like to point out that we do not consider that criticism of hockey in general personal criticism of Mr Gorman or of Mr Cain for that matter from the Files of i ay The Smoke Rings sponsor Is making a contribution to sports and a contribution to Ills com munity His hard work in the swimming pool effort is anoth er of his community contribu tions We suggest that anyone who takes on community res ponsibilities will bo criticized one way or another Criticism goes with public life and the way in which criticism is copied a factor which governs the success of ah individuals efforts in public life But the important news this week that the Smoke Rings won and we are sure that the good sports of Newmarket are proud of them including our sports editor The Newmarket town council broke a record for the year with three meetings this week One was Monday night another Tuesday night

HUNDRED AND WHY SHOULD THE TOWN BE IN THIRD PLACE ON A DEAL THE TOWN council is back in the development business and this week on Monday night a deal was made with in order to keep one local in dustry in town Limited manufacturers of radio and television aerials in a small way has plans for a larger plant and production in a big way The company had been offered land in Aurora and to keep the industry here the Newmarket council made its agreement with Mr subdivides The party receiving the most in concessions through the agreement is Tenetronics Coming out second best is Mr The town of Newmarket is third and last receives free land in an area where land prices are increasing day by day Mr pays for the land for the company but he is able to buy water from the town of Newmarket Today water is a commodity which has a fixed price when it is sold to homeowners but which is much more valuable to a because his investment is useless without it The town will receive from Mr Lenhardt to as a contribution towards a new sewage plant estimated construction costs i about 700000 But it will cost the taxpayers far more than that figure when interest is paid The town will pay for the in stallation of a culvert and completion of the roadway on the new section of Millard Avenue a responsibility which previously had been Mr The esti mated cost is It will take many years before the taxes on the proposed Tenetronics plant will pay for that item alone Councils decision to go ahead with the agreement it can be assumed was based on a desire to keep the industry in town Mayor and Councillor felt the price was too high The others were willing to pay the requested price possibly with the exception of Councillor Hands who declared later that he did not realize the agreement called for the town to pay for the road construction on Millard Avenue There is no reason why the town should be in third place in such a deal Mayor and Council lor Bel gin were right But the reason why the others voted in favor of the arrangement is quite understand able the only expression of public opinion says Get industry The Chamber of Commerce recommended that the agreement be implemented at once In their haste to make a popular move members of council voted for the third place position Council could have held over a decision for a day The fact is the council did hold a meeting the next night and a decision could have been made then Possibly the voters felt they were OUR SIDE OF THE STORY m m doing the right thing for Newmarket at the time but when they think it over they will realize that the tax- payers are paying a large subsidy on development when all things are taken into consideration ONE CONCESSION TWO FAVORS LAST YEAR this expressed the opinion that the year would tell the tale of Newmarket in this era of rapid development The town can pro ceed with cautious and logical development or it can be carried away on a wild course that will lead to finan cial troubles at the expense of the taxpayers and for the benefit of the developers Progress is considered to be a magic word but it has a hollow ring under cer tain circumstances We are not opposed to development We know full well that Newmarket can grow thou going into bankruptcy There is a policy adopted by the town council which if followed correctly will prevent chaotic conditions The members of council are well advised to be cautious in dealing with developers who are genuinely interested in making money We are in favor of them making money but not at the expense of the taxpayers And those taxpayers who stand to gain nothing from development are well advised to express their opinions on the subject just as the Chamber of Commerce has The town council will listen to a body of citizens like the Chamber of Commerce and it will listen to a body of citizens representing the average home owner We direct this advice to those citizens who are wage earners who will gain little or nothing from the towns development but who must pay the higher taxes caused by the wrong kind of development How can the town afford to give one concession in return for one favor even if it is to keep a local in dustry in town when the tax rate this year will be approximately mills on the dollar Rather it should be one concession for two favors or three favors or more A study of possible development in this area will show that the town council is in the favorable bar gaining position And what greater stimulus for a tight fisted policy on these matters than the prospects of a future tax increase of mills which could be possible through the following for a new sewage dis posal plant a minimum of 225000 for surface treating water at the reek possibly more for a reservoir and pumping station The total of is a million in easy terms Willi debentures over a period of years that menus paying off a total of a million and a half including interest That would be approximately more mills on he yearly lax rate not counting debentures for other work that may be required in the town by Harvey THE STRENGTH OF COMMUNISM IS ITS RELIGION Mi statement about I allure may leave the Impression that communist threat

ate and we were away Theres always a lot over around this place t The problem of bulk hauling and bulk cooling of milk whether it is admitted or not is making steady inroads on the milk markets of the prov ince It also has been a source of friction and bitterness It is our contention that it has been that way for no good reason and that the present situation is weakening the milk produc ers organizations and denying the shipper the full benefit of bulk cooling and hauling Milk producers organiza tions led in the early clays by the Toronto group have offi cially opposed the bulk haul ing of milk They had not in vestigated it at that time they didnt try to see what tremen dous benefit there could be in a better quality product They just opposed it This type of mentality soon became the leading method of dealing with fresh problems as they arose We attended the meeting dealing with this prob lem Monday night in Newmar ket The Ontario representa tive was there A letter from the dairy was received by many members But the first questions raised were Can he do this Is it legal Can he get away with this Now in our humble opinion this is not the point at all and the course this problem took in other parts of the province proves it In all the esses where dairies started trucking there has yet to be a man who would appear in front of the Milk Control to argue the case In all oases the bulk system was started and in some cases the produo- voted against it at went to the dealers on the way home and ordered coolers Why not face the issue difii and look at it way In spite of the present depressed state affairs agriculture the shipping of- fluid milk is attractive to enough fanners that they are willing to do it They know the value to themselves in dollars and cents and they will not give up this source of income because a more expensive machinery is needed to on Conse quently if enough people think like this the that we all stick together it happen will simply not work Any association that asks this of its members is ruling for a fall because it is asking for a type of self denial that it will not get The next problem is to stick together and get the best sible bargain in exchange for acceeding to the dairies Here is where the crux the matter is One might as well admit that solid is not possible by milting the reality of the it should be possible to get the best deal before tie- shippers put in the in their anxiety to first There sre are w fcfc m m si we yoea nut set v fc S wr caw a moot in i the afternoon but NORTH BAY PLANS Plan roade for North by the
