Era Newmarket Aurora Keswick Wed Feb 9 AS -a- mm Paul Photo Whats the world coming to when a body must pack towel and toothbrush and trudge over to a neighboring service station washroom in the morning asks Era reader Marilyn Eige She is shown at the washroom door at Rays Gulf a business owned by regional councillor Ray Twinney New water rates have tripled her bill and drastic measures are called for in her home said Mrs Eige six into tub whats next she asks Has it come to this I never thought Id see the day that six of us would have to bathe together in one tub but here it is It seems the water department has decided to triple its fee for the use of the sewers which in this particular subdivision have already been paid for Then to put the cherry on top of the whip cream they charge a cent service charge for what they dont say Sewage rates are now being charged on consumption of water used presuming I guess that all of it goes back out the sewer What about when I water my lawn in the summer or wash my car It definitely isnt going back into the sewers Will I get a rebate on the amount of water which will not travel down the sewer There is no way the Town of Newmarket can justify the increase No doubt Fred Evans will try and as usual we the consumer are left paying through the nose If the new charge is due to an increase in labor costs then my husband is working at the wrong place because his wages did not triple So beware Rays Gulf if you see six people running into your washrooms with a towel over their arm soap and toothbrushes you will know who it is We are from the home with the new backhouse in the yard With hydro telephones and postal rates continually increasing I am thinking of reverting to using candles wood stove tin cans on a string and as far as the mail goes all the mailman brings bills anyway Newmarket Council is wise not to do things like this before an election The Six of Us MARILYN Cherry wood Dr Newmarket Water rates so high he wants his own well My Hydro Sewer statement arrived through the mail this week and three major differences were im mediately apparent 1 water rate increased per cent per cubic foot coasumed Well why not Everything else except my salary which only increased per cent due to controls The sewer amount increased per cent I could become conditioned to accept per cent which is only times my salary increase However per cent is preposterous sirs or madams The Water and Sewer Rates card which was enclosed with the statement indicates a sewer rate for my property of of a cent per cubic foot Per cubic foot of what Assuming per cubic fool of water consumed one must wonder why the sewer amount on my bill is greater than the water Optimists helped dance The 1976 Newmarket dance is for the teams Bantam baseball team would like to express their thanks for the Optimist Club of Newmarkets help with our fund raising dance The proceeds of this to Sweden in June 1977 and it would not be possible without their help CAROL Newmarket amount by 208202 per cent Do you believe that my sewer is used more when I wash the car or water the garden Do you think that residents drink while away from Newmarket but void only after returning I am indebted to the woman who answered at Newmarket Hydro when I phoned to enquire about the subject statement He suggestion was that if I didnt like it I could go buy a pump I accept this as verbal permission to install a well too because a pump is useless without a well Im confident that by now she you and I will soon receive written permission lo sink a well on my property SAVAGE Newmarket Home for abandoned pup As we press on through the rigours of winter with its icy winds and drifting snow one can only feel pity for the heartless individual who abandoned a poor pregnant dog in the subway three weeks before Christmas A good Samaritan passing the shivering bereft animal took it upon herself to deliver her to the Toronto Humane Society for the ever ready food and shelter it so badly needed A litter of eight pups arrived the next day to add to the already large number of waifs and strays waiting for good homes or to be reclaimed by their owners The only recourse was to destroy six of the pups and keep iwo to drain off the mothers abundant milk supply At this point I entered the picture and adopted the mother and agreed to foster home the two pups until weaning time when hopefully good homes would be found for them A new residence and loving care awaits one of these pups in one weeks lime but the remaining female faces one of two alternatives to be destroyed as were six others in the litter or to find some warm hearted person who will adopt her She is a lovable little creature blonde in col oring with white markings on the chest and paws and she has the characteristics of a golden Labrador Financial assistance Objects to use of call name Racial problems appear to be mounting in Ontario If we consider the recent subway in cidents in Toronto we can see very overt examples of racial prejudice But what about looking closer to home The Era last week ran a story describing the gallant effort by radio operators during the recent blizzard One of the names used by the CBers was Drunken Indian I would suggest that CB operators have an advantage in that they can make racial com ments and use racially prejudiced names and remain anonymous The Era however cannot The Era has no licence to print racially prejudiced material because someone else chooses to create such material It is disgusting to me and certainly a warning of how tolerant we have become of racial degra dations that The Era considers this acceptable journalism GOBI WELLS Newmarket Vic hopes to raise 1000 for charity by sharpening skates We are having a
