This marks the clos- |jboth the north and the south - BROUGHAM -- Donald Gib- son was spokesman for a group of residents from Brougham, and| vicinity who appeared before Pickering Township Council on Monday night to ask for the continuance of the function of the old Township Hall in Brougham, and for the build- ing of sidewalks to Brougham Park and to Brougham School. Mr. Gibson told Council that the hall was started more than 100 years ago by the citizens of Brougham, and some 25) years ago donated "as an act of generosity" to all of the people of the Township. The Health Unit, Mr. Gibson reminded Council, has ruled against the serving of food until satisfactory facilities have been installed. "Tf these things are not made available for the Hall it must eventually fall. into disuse and be of no value to the communi- ty or the Township," said Mr. Gibson, adding, "It is a good hall and has been maintained in excellent condition over the years." The delegation noted that the hall was used by residents of about 75 times a year - but accepted the fact that the north part of the township used it more than the south. WATER SUPPLY Mr. Gibson advised Council that Mr. Donald Beer, who owns the property next to the heli, has dug a well and ob- tained a good supply of water. "Mr. Beer has offered to supply water to the Township and make his: land available for use, for $36.00 per year," he said, "fa demonstration of th: way the people feel about the use of the hall." "We know that you are ex- tremely burdened with the big problems of a great Town- ship," said Mr. Gibson. "We urge you not to forget the people who have demonstrated in the years past their gener- osity and interest in their com- munity. The people in those days were in a position to con- tribute part of their own earn- ings to the construction of these things (the sidewalks and hall were constructed by the com- munity at their own expense). "The local peope cannot do this now, not becaus2 of high property taxes, but because of the many growing demands upon them.' Reeve C. W. Laycox told the/? delegation that the old building had been discussed by the clerk, the Parks. Administrator and himself, and they had found that if it was established as a community centre under the Act, that it would be eligible for a Provincial grant, and that a by-law was before the Coun- cil to do this. The by-law was read and passed, naming a committee to maintain the ffl as a com- munity centre in conformity with the Ontario Community Centres Act, in the persons of the Reeve, Harvey Spang, Wil- liam G. Newman, Jo E. Campbell, and Hubert Wank. SIDEWALKS DEBATED Mr. Gibson outlined the quest for sidewalks, one for the park to the east of the village, land one for the school to the west, both of which were on busy. Highway 7, and used by some 65 school children, He observed Council had passed a resolution to construct the sidewalk to the park, that the Department. of Highways had agreed to subsi- dize it up to 50 per cent of the cost, but that nothing had been done about it. "I do feel this Council has a moral obligation to fulfil a reso- lution of a previous Council," said Councilior W. G. Newman. "TI understood that in 1961 even the materials were purchased for the construction." The Reeve, who was a mem- ber of Council at the time the motion w2s made and voted then for the sidewalk, said also that he felt an obligation to ful- fil the direction and build the walk to the park. Councillor Harvey Spang con- curred, and suggested that something concrete be done at this meeting about the side- walks. "T must say that I realize pre- vious Councils gave considera- tion to the sidewalk to the park," said Councillor Hubert Wank, "and I appreciate the considerations brought forth. "But," he said, "there have been many similar requests for the south end, one where a child had been killed, and it was agreed that we could not supply such services. If we do this' in Brougham, why not elsewhere?" Mr. Wank continued that in a road committee meeting it was resolved that all future side- walks be paid for by local im- provement charges against the property owners concerned. "T think if we consider one area," he said, 'we have to put sidewaiks in other areas. We cannot afford to put sidewalks "T concur," said Mr. Newman. "But Council passed a motion that this sidewalk (to the park) be built. This has -been prom- ised prior to this policy of local improvement." Deputy Reeve Mrs. McPher- son said that sidewalks had been under discussion since 1956. "T realize that sidewalks are a big problem becaus2 of the expenditure of building them, and of who is going to maintain them when they are built,"" she said, "I know that in 1958 '(when first motion was passed) that we agreed that a sidewalk to the park 'would be built. We have no alternative but to go ahead with a sidewalk that was approved that the 1961|° throughout and maintain them."'| ; Hall Is To Be Maintained As Centre For Community backdoor approach to facing Councillor Wank. Brougham or Claremont or any other place is not entitled to any re-|special privileges." "I am saying that we have an obligation to these peop'e in Brougham, " retorted Mr. New- man. 'The material has 'been bought. I am not asking for any done in the past could come be- fore Council now and require doing now. He disagreed with both" the sidewalk and the hall being charged over the whole Township, and with Mr. Camp- bell opposed resolutions to have the sidewalk built. The sidewalk to the school was left in bg age pending an esti- mate of the cost by the en- gineer. SUPPORT LOCAL MERCHANTS Councillor John Campbell an- nounced that the Pickering Township Industrial Committee was going to set a date to honor, the local merchants of Picker- ing Township. It will be called 'Support Your Local Merchants Week," or, Mr. Campbell said, be for the duration of one month. "The * Industrial Committee felt that the stores within the Township pay taxes and are part of industry," Mr.. Camp- bell said, "and we would like to give them some support." CHERRYWOOD STATION The Board of Transport Com- missioners ask Council for a submission of why they refuse consent to dismantle and re- move the station at Cherry- wood. Rather than go along with the CPR that their station is of no further use, Council retains its stand that once the building is removed in a flourishing Town- ship which will one day require commuter service, that they are still of the same opinion as they were at a previous meet- ing. A submission will be sent to the Board asking that if the building is removed, that a per- manent shelter be erected in view of future use. AUDLEY CROSSING SIGNALS A resolution was passed that signals and lights be erected at the Audley CPR crossing at $12,350.00, with maintenance and operating cost, $635.00. The Township pays 12% per cent, or $1,543.75 of the capital cost, and $317.50 for the annual mainte- nance. ENGAGE ENGINEERS At the request of Township Engi P.. Poul: P.Eng by Council in good faith.
