It is expect- ed that ratepayers south of Map- le sideroad and west of Keele street, with the,Maple Grove sub- division as the focal point, will start a‘ petition immediately. Ma- ny residents of this latter area were among the 50 ratepayers present at the meeting. Formalities To Get Water System President ’Robt.

Mrs. Fierheller reported that Rev. Davis welcomed the ladies to York Presbytery annual meet- ing held in Richmond Hill Unit- ed Church. ' Mrs. Binnington introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. George Mc- Mullen, wife of Dr. McMullen, professor at the University of Toronto. Mrs. McMullen is vice- president of the Dominion Coun- cil and was a representative to the assembly for United Church women in Denver. Mrs. McMullen opened her re- marks by saying that too often we are referred to as the Mar- thas. It is a privilege for us and a challenge to work for the Mas- ter. At the assembly in Denver, Mrs. McMullen was one of 2875 women, representing 35 denom- inational bodies and 12,000,000 women. The American women have gone farther in organization than we have, Mrs. McMuIIen said. The theme for the meeting was “The World for the Master.” As the great rally opened the theme was ever before them for on the backdrop was a huge pic- ture of the/world with a big silver cross in the foreground.

If a' person does not hook-in to the system when Hears Inspiring Address 0n Denver Assembly The township Jwill arrange all financing pertaining to the mains and connections. This will be done by selling debentures, the interest will probably be slightly less than the bank rate. It is not likely a homeowner will be allow- ed to pay for the watermains and connection as one lump sum. Edgeley W.A. The total cost is expected to be less than $50.00 per year. This includes the cost of the water used, and amortizing the cost of the water installation over 20 years and interest. The homeowner will be res- ponsible for arranging to have his house system connected to the main. It will cost him $1.25 to $1.50 per foot for piping to the township line. The township will provide a connection point for each house at this time. The well, according to the In- ternational Water Supply Com- pany, will deliver half a million gallons of sandâ€"free water per day. Normal daily consumption averages about 50 gallons per person. It is considered for some. time to come the system will not require more than 200,000 gall- ons per day. This would mean 300,000 gallons per day will be available for industrial expansion in Maple. Cost No More than $50 Per Year The township will be complete- ly responsible for the design, in- stallation, and maintenance of the water system. All engineering de- signs and approvals are‘the res. ponsibility of the township :con- sulting engineer, and he is to be consulted before any specific item of work is tackled. Industrial Water Available A water system for Maple is be- ginning to take shape because of the approved ‘subdivision of Mr. Jack Grant just southwest of Maple Grove. Township approval was given after the subdivider agreed to bear the complete cost of exploring, drilling, and devel- oping the well, a 90 foot drilled well near the community centre, building and equipping the pumping station, building the re- servoir, and laying the Keele St. watermain.

There being no further busi- ness, the meeting adjourned, and groups of neighbors met together to plan whether or not they would obtain a petition for their area immediately. The danger of pollution from surface wells and septic tanks ul- timater was pointed out. Water increases the value of a home. Lastly, it was pointed out, a deep drilled well which is giving a good supply of water today, may not be doing so in a few years. In the Thornhill area many residents are running out of water where they had been receiving an ex- cellent supply of water from their private drilled wells. In many cases, it was reported, they had to pay $200.00 for additional drilling. This cannot happen with a guaranteed municipal supply, the report concluded. If suitable petitions were taken and contracts signed now, it was estimated additional watermains could be laid by June 1959. It is likely Maple Grove subdivision could have a water supply by July 1959. Before concluding the reading of the report, Mr. James stated, “The water in the township well Is of average hardness, and Is of excellent quality.” The meeting was told by Mr. James, “It is expected the well, pumping station, and Keele street mains will be completed by the end of April, 1959. ‘ It is extremely unlikely the cost of the water installation would ever be less than it is right now, the report added. The revenue from the water meters cannot be used for general town- ship financing. It can only be used for the water system â€"â€" pay- ing ofl‘ the debentures, expanslon and maintenance.

In other words, if the lot measures 100 ft. by 150 ft, he will he charged for 100 feet of main. Owners of double lots will pay for both frontages. Owners of corner lots will pay only for the mains passing their shortest side. ower Cost Not Expected ' The weekend was especially planned for visiting parents to give them an all over view of life Personals Mr. and Mrs. Graham Walter spent a delightful week-end In London, Ontario, visiting their son, Peter Walter, at the Univer- sity of Western Ontario.
