not cost the town money The plan calls for itemizing all fire fighting equipment in the county It lists all fire depart ments under three columns giv ing a first second and third call nee for each If there were a bad fire in township Mr explained The Fire Coordinator has a complete picture of the fire situa tion in the county He knows who can send help at that time but he docs not come to Newmarket to take over the fire fighting opera tion That remains under the jur isdiction of the Newmarket fire chief Present agreements regarding the purchasing and selling of fire protection by one municipality to another is not changed by this Mutual Aid plan It would be senseless for Newmarket to con tact Queens ville for help if were busy fighting a fire at that time Working through the County Coordinator will give protection to all areas at all times said Mr Farrell if a municipality with only one piece of equipment were asked to help at a bad fire in a neighboring municipality he added another department would be instructed to stand by to give protection to THANKS TO ALL THOSE LOYAL CUSTOMERS WHOSE CONTINUED PATRONAGE HAS HELPED KEEP OUR BUSINESS GOING IN THE TOWN OF NEWMARKET FOR THE PAST Newmarket and extra help were J that municipality In the event needed the local fire chief would of war the county de rail on Aurora for assistance But J partments could operate as one if

natural dis aster suggested Councillor John In the event of a of Hurricane Hazel or a bad municipal fire they could take over and act immediately and efficiently With the prevailing winds this area from the northwest Mayor it is like- that DO per cent of the fall out from an attack on Toronto would go into Lake Ontario It is an important matter and should receive immediate consid eration said Councillor suggest we hold a committee meeting of council to pet the Civil Defence organization for the town started Newmarket is in a relatively vital area he added It is in the fringe area for Metropolitan Tor onto in the event of A and bomb attacks It could be on the fringe for similar attacks on Sud bury or at the Head of the Lakes with the prevailing winds from that direction Also a Civil De fence organization is prepared to meet natural disasters Mr Pearce told council that Barrio is spending approximately this year on Civil Defence He suggested a former member of municipal government as an who would be famil iar with administration as a suit able person to select as CD Co- Ordinatoc APPROVE PURCHASE Continued from Pie I expenses as follows gas 400 labor depreciation interest total The only valid argument for the purchase is whether it is more convenient to have the work don by the towns equipment or on hire Certainly on a cost basis it is not a good argument Another price has been ob tained A third price will be ob tained added Councillor Knapt This machine can used for snow removal Town superintend ent said the maintenance cost is small and the province pays a per cent subsidy on all operating costs This is another example of council not accepting a lses report said Councillor Kent Lets get on with the question Committee recommendations I dont always have to be followed replied Councillor It is j for council to decide I dont feel J we should purchase equipment for use only during two months of the year Now is the time to purchase the equipment said Mr Wright- man There is no reason why taxpayers on dirt roads should swelter in the dust while others in the town live on paved roads does the reeve propose to finance the purchase asked Councillor chairman of the finance committee If that motion is passed is he prepared to trim the roads and bridges bud get accordingly Mr indicated that he would He added that there was allotted for
