changing until the whole town is on them the town has one of the lowest water rates in the region mr ratdiff said ma recent interview csaid although be did commenting on tbe admit that if the town meters mr ratdiff went to meters there pointed out that the meter system is the fairest way to charge for water but there are old residences in town that dont have meters so we wont be 1 would be more water saved i we would conserve a lot more water if the homes went on meters but it is quite expensive to change it will come but not for a few years yet he said when asked about the unfairness of a industry using large amounts of water and paying the same rate as a home user doesmr ratdiff stated that the situation cannot occur every industry or commercial operation that uses water is on meters and they pay for seafood platter includes butterfly shrimp golden scallops tartar sauceshrimp sauce english style fish french fries coleslaw fresh roll at dixie lee chicken 191 main ste 64019441 what they use it is only the private homes that are on flat rates so we dont get an industry using 10 times i more water but paying the same rate as a residence there are even dif ferences in residential homes such as if someone owns a swim ming pool they will pay 11 above the flat rate so there is really no unfair situation arising from the flat rate mr- ratcliff also warned the town to be prepared to conserve as much water as they can this summer he stated that there is a bylaw to regulate the amount of water used in the summer and he feels it will be rigidly enforced because of the increasing water costs there will be no wasting of water this summer he said when asked if he thought it possible to direct some funds to buy new playground equip ment in the park mr ratdiff said the budget will be reviewed later this month and at the present time he really didnt know there is the possibility of new lights we solve water probleivis showroom wow open 98 main st w stouffville salesservice

a hazard then we should install tinevr equipment it would be looked after im sure it wont cost tooi much money either another area discussed was the lack of fire alarms 1 at the ballantrae community centre and whether alarms would be in stalled mr ratdiff pointed out that a resolution has been passed to put in the alarm system along with a smoke detector he said it is required under the new building code and that it should have been in the original contract the architect should have seen that the alarm system was put in he said one area that mr ratdiff and the majority of council do not agree on is the lehmans pond issue council has voted to have the pond filled in on the ground it will be a threat to youngsters attending the school that will be built north of manioca st within the dulverton subdivision mr ratdifr stated that he is in favour of leaving the pond in its natural state and- ex pressed hope that council will change its mind on the matter we are expecting a conservation study of the area in a short while and if it favors leaving the r pond in i hope there will be a change from council fortunately there doesnt have to be a fast decision on the matter as it would take at least six months to change the zoning bylaw- 1 hope in that time council will change its mind on the matter family life centre saved continued from page 1 recently mainly sup ported
