LAYCOX 'MISINTERPRETED' ON PUBLICITY STATEMENT, HE SAYS Pickering Reeve Makes Two 'Partial' Retractions last date for filing objections to:nicipal Police Forces, was en- cillor Spang. "I would be happy Reeve C. W. Laycox had two partial retractions to make at a Pickering Township Coun- cil meeting on Monday night. Having been criticized for a re- cent statement that adverse publicity had been' the cause of the withdrawal of a prospec- tive industrialist from a land deal, he insisted that he was not making allegations against any news| i. He still' maintained that the publicity was adverse to the cause of 'getting commercial enterprise into the township, but the newspaper reporters have every right to report what is said in public council meet- in Bs. ;, " "This was misinterpreted, he said. "As far as I am con- cerned newspapers have the right to print everything that is said or heard at an open coun- cil meeting." BETTER LINK URGED Mr, Laycox then recalled an- other statement that he had made in connection with the liaison between Pickering Town- ship Planning Board and Metro Toronto Planning Board. had urged a better link be- tween the two boards, saying that the township's representa- tive, Ellwood Smythe, of Ajax, had not attended a township planning board meeting nor asked for the minutes, and doubted that Mr. Smythe was familiar with the planning pro- gram of the township, Mr. Smythe also represents and Pickering Village. Since these remarks, Mr. Laycock has learned that Mr. Smythe, at great inconvenience to himself, attends two Metro planning board meetings ; per week. "It is a labor of love,' 'said the Reeve, 'for he is not paid. He is one of a very few who does not receive an honorar- jum. He appears to be well respected on the Metro Board. He feels badly about the re- mark that was made. I would suggest that this council, or our planning board get in touch with the two other municipall- ties and try to see our way clear for recognition to his attendance at the Metro meet- Both the Reeve and Council- lor Newman admitted that thése facts should have been known before any statements were made, and Mr. Newman added that some townships had no representative at all. Mr. Newman advised that Mr. Smythe had stated to him that in any matters connected with the township or village, he answers questions.

The Metro board, he says, feels Pickering. a very progres- sive township." Although the Reeve took back his remarks about Mr. Smythe, he still felt that there was not a sufficient liaison between Pick- ering and Metro boards. "I am not retracting any statement I may have made about that," he said. INDUSTRY INQUIRY Reeve Laycox reported an in- quiry had been received about the township-owned land at Liverpool road and Highway 2-- about whether it would be sold by tender, or by an offer. He was going to interview the in- terested parties, and asked council's instructions. "T would not consider unless someone came in with as good an offer as before, or a better proposal," said Mr, Newman. Councillors agreed that the land would not be sold by tender, but that a suitable offer, and an agreement stating in- tentions within a time limit, would be considered, "I don't think we want to sell the land to speculators," said the Reeve. 'We are badly in need of this type of assess- ment." FAIRPORT ROAD "DISGUSTING" sy A resolution was passed that the engineer look into the bad state of roads at Fairport Beach. Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean Mc- Pherson said that three cars were stuck there that day, and the residents ask that there be one road, at least, out. "T think this road is disgust- ing," said Councillor Newman, referring to Fairport Road south. "All they are asking for is a path in and out. They know the roads will be fine when the construction there is pleted." ; "The CBC (Consolidated Building Corporation) is getting away with murder," he went on, "I think it is their respon- sibility. They brought a few loads of gravel in, which did nothing." A resolution was passed to contact CBC and request roads to be brought back to driveable condition. CENTENNIAL FUNDS Doubt was expressed on whether or not the proposed park site on the Risk property, Lot 24, Concession 1, would be eligible for the Centennial grant, and the township solici- tor asks direction for the pro- posal to the Ontario Municipal Board. A meeting is in the off- ing between a committee of council, and representatives of the Kiwanis Club, which is in- terested in the development of the park. com- ii | "T don't think we. should let the $22,000 Centennial grant slip through our fingers," said Councillor Newman. "We have to make a decision by August." The clerk was asked to ascer- tain from the Centennial Board what prospects the purchase of land for a park had for ap- proval. SCHOOL GUARDS Reeve Laycox announced that a delegation from School Area 2 had approached the Police Commission and stated that it was vital that they have at least, two school crossing guards in the police area, A car count reveals that 3,500 cars per day travel along the Liverpool road to the lake, and 1,000 per day along the Altona road, Councillor Donald Waring said that it was just like downtown Toronto, and the Deputy Reeve, Mrs. McPherson, remarked that there were too many cars for the number of roads they had. Ina report by Police Chief R. T. Parker, he stressed the safe- ty precautions that' should be taken, emphasizing guards, traf- fic signals, and parking, He said that it was a little difficult to reduce speed limits at schools. Mrs. McPherson recommend- ed that a by-law be prepared to prohibit parking in front of schools, for children darted be- tween the cars unaware of the traffic. "There is no use waiting until jured," she said. The resolution which was passed provided for guard serv- ice, and no parking in front of schools. MUNICIPAL BUILDING Approval for the proposed new municipal building was. re- ceived from the Ontario Munici- \pal Board on April 7. | The debenture bylaw for $225,- 1000 was before council. Having been given two readings months ago, it was found to have its introductory page mislaid, and it was tabled until next meet- jing. SALARY CHANGES Due to the resignation of Clif- ford Dunkeld, _who has taken a the children are killed or in-, bookkeeping position with the County of Ontario, a shifting of positions on the township staff has resulted. A resolution was passed to establish a different salary pie Gs sae IEE the high rise apartment building proposed for the Gordon prop- erty, 67 Church street south, Pickering Village, was April 13. Councillors agreed that this schedule for three employee: who have moved up. They are Gordon MacDowell, $5,000 per annum; Connie Blake, $3,000, and Brian Shannon, $3,600. CARTAGE BYLAW A cartage bylaw was partially read, then abandoned for fur- ther discussion when the con- tents became known. It pro- vided that all vehicles carrying anything other than people must be licensed by the township, and a penalty up to $300 would be imposed for infraction. | A separate licence is required for each vehicle that one owner possesses, and each vehicle will be supplied with a metal plate bearing the licence number, No vehicle shall carry a load in excess of what the commercial motor vehicle permit authorizes. Vehicles must be submitted to the township for examination, when required, and they must be kept clean and in good repair. The licence for all vehicles, the bylaw states, is $5. "Overloading is covered by Provincial statutes," said Coun- cillor Newman. "All this does is permit our bylaw enforcement officer to pick someone up and take him over to the scales, The }poor drivers are getting {own- ship police, Provincial -police, land everybody else afte: them." | "Are we sure that our own trucks would stand up under this bylaw?" asked Councillor Harvey Spang. The bylaw was prepared by Bylaw Enforcement Officer Harry Ashton, and further set up by solicitor A. J, Taylor, It is similar to a bylaw used in Metro Toronto. Councillor Campbell, Chair- man of the Bylaw Enforcement Committee, agreed to refer the bylaw back to Mr. Ashton and get an explanation for council's 'jae consideration. \NO OBJECTION | Council was advised that the RENT-A-CAR | DAY -- WEEK -- MONTH | $5.00 PER DAY 725- PLUS LOW MILEAGE CHARGE 6553 | RUTHERFORD'S CAR AND TRUCK RENTALS 725-6553 14 ALBERT ST.

ROD AND GUN CLUB The Scarborough Rod and Gun Club asked Council if they might purchase or lease land in Pick- ering Township to re-establish their Club, forced out of its Scarborough location by CPR expropriation. "T don't know where you can put one in the township where noise does not offend people," said Councillor John Campbell. Councillor Bill Newman said that he felt a letter should go back to them that if they could find location satisfactory to all concerned, that they could make application. "T think there would be all kinds of opposition," said Coun- to see them go further north." 'We're talking about some- thing that does serve a useful purpose," said the Reeve. "They teach youngsters how to handle weapons safely, and the proper use of firearms. This is one of the better clubs, I think." Mr. Newman corroborated this.
