Council News (Excerpts from minutes of meeting May 28, 1961) Deputations and Interviews Messrs, R. H, Lunney and Ross Smith, as members of the Brooklin Baptist Chufch, were present to sug- gest to the Council that an approxi- mate asking price be placed on the Township Hall. Since no price has been finalized the Council suggested that an offer to purchase be submitted from theschurch group to the property committee if this building proves to _ be satisfactory to the church songre. gation, Mrs. H. McCool advised Council that _ the Brooklin Women's Institute will be moving the site of their meetings from the basement of Heo uship Hall to: the basement of te new Brooklin Library. Since this will re- quire sufficient dishes and cutlery at the 'Library for the use-of the-mem- liers of the W.I. at their meetings Mrs. McCool suggested that the Council grant permission: to move these ar- ticles from the kitchen of the Town- ship Hall. The Council suggested that no action could be taken on a private request of this nature, but that a for- mal request from the Brooklin Wo- men's Institute would receive favour- able consideration. Mr. H. Carter, Building Inspector, reported on Lot 3, 1 Plan 634 at the corner of Powell Road and Hunter St. and a building application on same. The house as proposed would, due to the size and lay-out of same, encroach 'on the Front Yard requirement by 12' 'to 16'. Mr. Carter suggested to Coun- cil that by altering the location of the garage on the lot the required 36' yards can be obtained on each street, The Council agreed with Mr. Carter on this solution to the problem. A second problem involved the addi- tion of a 16' x 20' accessory building to the McLaughlin property at Thick- son Point. Since: one-portion of the land has the required frontage on Thickson Road Mr. Carter was author- ized to solve the problem with Murs. McLaughlin, Mr. Merrill Ross, Road Superinten- dent, submitted a letter under date of May 19th from Reach Township advis- ing that $1,000 has been included in struction on the Reach-Whitby Town. line west of Highway No. 12. The Township Dump maintenance was discussed both as to cleaning the garbage back and covering same and the problem of rats. . It was agreed that during the summer months clear- ing and covdring the garbage period- ically would seem to be the only rea- sonable solution.
