the north and St on the west All hous es will be numbered consecutive- ly from Drive south and from St east There is one number for every feet figure was arrived at from an examination of Main St

without permission for others the in granting or refusing municipal water across the town border line The concern about water line connections to busi ness establishments north of Da vis Drive near St

dry and he was forced to bring water by tank truck es pecially for apartments on the second floor of the building The request finally waa grant ed a few weeks ago but not with out strong opposition Members of council including Messrs and had opposed giving permission on the grounds of principle had been considered that there was no ex tra water to give away and when East township council requested water for Clarence Allan the opposi tion argued that permission could not be granted to one owner and the area though they were also taxpayers in the town of Newmarket Application At the last meeting of council an application from Howard Morton was presented for water connections to a commercial on the north side of Da vis Drive Mr Morton has an automobile business in town and pays taxes to the town as well as Mr Allan Since the Morton application came soon after the approval for Clarence Allan Councillor comment was I told you so Mr Morton employs a lot labor in town said Reeve

as long as the last time He pointed out that Mr Allans case was different He needed water meeting of the Chamber of Com merce No decision was reached as to the chambers policy but a full debate has been scheduled for the next meeting Chamber President Howard Morton introduced the topic Mr Morton stated that he had been approached by an increasing number of people who wanted to know the chambers policy on the matter and he felt certain that there would be an organized at tempt in the future to bring it before the voters Mr Morton said that it was about time that the chamber took a stand one way or the other As president he slated that he had no opinion because the members had not given him one but speak ing as Howard Morton person ally he had views on the subject I feel that I am just as good a citizen a any man who Uvea in Bradford or Jacksons Point he said and want the rights and privileges which the laws of the country give me Since the government spon sors these stores said Alex I think it is unfair and unjust to penalize those people who are unable to drive to Brad ford and have to pay a taxi when they want something from the stores am dead against saloons or beverage in Newmar ket he added but it is time to put an end to this hypocrisy Some members felt that the chamber should not stick its neck out on the matter but should wait until some organized group came forward to sponsor the move Lets not lead the parade some said is unusual that we should be leaders countered President Howard Morton I think we are as good a crosssection of level headed men as you will find in Newmarket As leaders of the community he asked do you think we should shirk our re sponsibilities I think when the province said Chester Best Mrs Violet Robinson Mae- said that a lot of people felt that business was going elsewhere because people shopped when they went out to buy liquor I dont want it because of business stated President Mor ton I want it because I am a of Ontario and entitled to all the privileges of a citizen The members of il chamber have the courage of their convic tions and express an opinion on this matter one way or the oth er he added Members voted to
