Following a meeting with city officials at Hotel Genosha Thursday night, a group of af- fected property owners decided to file a petition opposing the sidewalks -- Deadline for the petition is next Tuesday. Cost is the trouble. The total cost of $86,000 would be paid by abutting owners. Council proceeded with this part of the proposed King street improvements under Sec- tion 12 of the Local Improve- ment Act. Known as the "'ini- tiative plan" it calls for council to. publicize the work and serve owners with notice. CAN PETITION One month is allowed for owners to petition. The petition must represent a majority of the owners who represent at least one half of the value of the assessed lots. Section 13 says if the petition is presented the council "shall not proceed with the work for a period of two years". An objection to paving costs will be filed by the group. Here the city is paying for 28 feet; the owners are being assessed for seven feet (both north and south sides) for the 42-foot road- way. This work is being undertaken under Section Eight of the Act. Under this section, the city by- laws the work and only Ontario Municipal Board approval is needed. However, the property owners may file an objection which could result in a special OMB hearing. Their beef: sub- sidies (provincial) and the Ca- nadian National Railways pay- ment--($16,000) to the city are to be deducted from the city's share of the costs. "I would like to know why we don't get any of the bene- ers group which met last night. A committee of five was named to act as for the group as a whole: Sam Jackson, Jr., David |Lander, Harry Finer, Joseph Bolahood and E .A. Bassett. Mr. Humphreys quoted Sec- tion 21 of the Local Improve- ment Act which says cash con- tributions shall be deducted from the total cost of the work. City Engineer Fred Crome explained it this way: the High- way Improvement Act says sub- sidies will apply only one expen- ditures out of the general rate. Said Joseph Victor: "Our feel- ing is that the owners should not have to pay ANY of the cost of the sidewalks. Assess the whole city. Charge the people who are going to walk on it.' ' COSTS OUTLINED Earlier, at the meeting with the city officials, Mr. Crome had outlined the costs and ex- pected starting and finishi out and get a petition. "We'll just pull out the rails and put down some black top. But don't be surprised if the potholes reappear. We can't guarantee a good job without putting in a new base." Mr. Crome corroborated this. He said the base has deterior- ated and the potholes are right through the base itself. He said pavement would crack the first winter without a new base. Continued the mayor: 'You heard Col; McLaughlin at the ceremony. This is a wonderful chance to clean up the area. Do you want it or don't you?" EASTVIEW EUCHRE SCORES T.

Trustee Lovell objected stating: "I'll vote against the motion if it in- cludes the public address sys- tem." Trustee Mrs. William Shaw said: '"'When we originally ask- ed the city for $119,000, we didn't feel we could include a public address system in that amount. Why do we have to originally asked for $119,000 for Contract Is Awarded For School Addition moved that the board apply for add it on just because the tend- ers came in under the budget?" Trustee Lovell added: "If the tenders had come in over the budget, we would have done some whittling."

Trustee Mrs. Shaw opposed Trustee Lovell's motion stating construction of the addition. Trustee E. A. Bassett earlier that the public address system would probably go in.
