The initial pay- ment of $250 will be made early in September and the balance of .the price during the first part of next year. 'The gravel pit is situated on the Heard farm just North of the town and was bought by the township from the department of highways about a year ago. Whithy's division of the gravel pit is estimated by engineers to contain approximately 50,000 cu- bie yards of gravel which is valued at five cents per cubic yard, which would amount to $2,600. The divi- sion of the pit is to be made by Donovan and Smith, Ontario land surveyors of Oshawa, The pit when originally: owned | by the department of highways was estimated at about four acres. Since then considerable gravel has beens used by the highway depart- ment as well as the township and the town. It is estimated, how= ever, that the pit still contains some three acres of gravel.

Alihough the original franchise had expired, the rights to run the railway were still being exer- cised. Giving his personal opinion Mr, Redman thought that it could be terminated .by either side giving pro- per notice. The fact that it had been contin- ued beyond the five-year period did not necessarily imply a renewal of the franchise. "Despite some advan- tages which buses. might have," he stated, "railway engineers consider that in the long run the rail system will win out." Until the Township Council took some stand he was not in a position to explore the possibili- ties of the situation in Scarboro.
