The allocation of -water services became a problem - when a study: by Ontario Water Resources indicated hat the "existing -Village water supply would ac- commodate only 125 new services. At present," there. are several subdivisions in the planning with a total of about 180 lots. There are also about 60 existing lots within the Village which = if developed would also require water service. --As a result, Council-has- been faced with the problem of. determining = what lots would get water service and what lots would not. Taking. into consideration such things as the sub- divisions which are furthest - along in the development * stage, those that have building lots on existing and serviceable (sewer and water) streets, and the type of housing 'planned, Council made the following allocations. Van Edward - Investments gets 28 lots: for a develop- ment in the north-east part of the Village. Mr. Pat' Morrow gets four lots in Prince Albert. Kerr developments gets 18 lots in the north-west of Port Perry. Porter development property gets 14 lots in the south of 'the Village. And Baird gets 6 lots for development inthe north- cast. As well, the Village is . prepared to service a total of '53 existing lots within the boundaries of Port Perry, and will keep six lots in reserve. Van Edward and Morrow developments were con- "sidered separately because the former is furthest ahead in the 'development stage, and the latter, though not a subdivision and located in - Prince Albert, because of a "binding agreement the Village had with the previous owner: to provide water service. The remaining develop: -waler allocation; ments, Kerr, ! Porter and Baird. were allocated their lots by a proportionate percentage based on the total number of lots each could develop. The Kerr development will consist of semi-detached units, and the remainder are said to be single unit dwellings. Prior to the discussion and the resulting vote on the Reeve Robert Kenny declared himself in conflict, and took no part in either the discussion or the vote. Council determined Village Council isnot going to give up the idea of getting rid of Port Perry's parking meters. - After being unsuccessful in attempts to have the' sup- plier, Rhodes Parking Meters Ltd. take the meters back, Council is now going to advertise that the meters are for sale. The whole problem with the meters is, that they are not doing for the Village what they were intended to do: make money. Rhodes installed the meters at a cost of about $5600, with this amount to be paid back with money collected from the meters. For the first three years, all revenue is to go.to Rhodes, and half the revenue after that until the $5600 is paid" back. Then all money from the meters will go to the Village. to get rid of meters At the present rate that funds are being realized from the meters, it's going to take about nine years to pay. off the $5600 owing to Rhodes. And during this time, the Village is responsible for maintenance costs, and must also handle the collection of the money from the meters. Rhodes says it doesn't want the meters back now because they. were "custom made for Port Perry,' "and the company says it is not in the used or re-conditioned meter business. Rhodes suggests that the Village pay off the remainder owing in a lump sum, and by doing this would get all future revenue ° from the meters. But Council wants no part of this, since to pay off in a lump sum would require that funds be used that have been | Mr. Jock Carroll, Toronto author and former newsman attended a recent meeting of the Lake Scugog Historical Society. - Mr. Carroll is currently working on a biography of Greg Clark, who was a life-long friend of the late Jimmy Frise.

Kent Estates receives final Council approval A subdivision agreement between Van Edwards In- vestment Ltd. and the Village of Port Perry was signed at the regular meeting of Council on February 1. , The subdivision, to be called Kent Estates will be built on 9 acres of land behind the Community Nursing Home in the north- east corner of Port Perry. 'Mr. Ted Griffen, who as treasurer of Van Edwards Investment agreement, said later that there are plans for 28 single unit dwellings to be built in budgeted for other purposes. The idea to try to sell the meter privately was suggested at the regular meeting of February 2. signed the two Stages over a period of a couple of years. He said modifications are now being made to the engineering drawings to suit the subdivision agreement, with land clearing and road construction to begin in the very near future. "If all goes well," he said, "we hope to have the first house built by the middle of July." The subdivision will have paved streets, sanitary and storm sewers, and treed lots. The original plans for: the subdivision were made over four years ago, and hinged on the completion of the Port Perry sanitary sewer system. Along with Mr. Griffen, Glen Van Camp, Grant.
