Irks Bay BAY RIDGES (Staff) -- Pick- ald Waring was met by grumbl- ings when he attempted to ex- plain the Township Budget to the members of the Bay Ridges Ratepayers Association Wednes- day night. About 60 members of the 556 Ratepayers Association attend- ed a regular monthly meeting at the Bayview Heights Public School, One of the main bones of con- tention at last night's meet- ing seemed to be the sewer mill rate. Most of the rate- payers felt that the township was charging them an addition- al mill rate for sewer construc- tion while they already had sew- ers as part of the subdivision agreement. Councillor Waring told the members that the Bay. Ridges taxpayers were in fact paying for the enlarging of the exist- ing sewers which the Township Engineer felt would not be ade- quate in a few years with the present development of southern Pickering Township. The water situation in the south end of the Township was also discussed and Councillor Waring told his audience that: "The water in this Township stinks but the Township cannot afford to put watermains in every community." He was referring to the Squire's Beach area where some pecple have been com- plsining about tht lack of "If the idiots had done what Dunbarton High School was be- ing built we wouldn't have to pay over $4000 a year to truck water to that school." stated Donald Waring. One of the ratepayers told Mr. Waring that the inhabitants of Bay Ridges had paid for the sewers in the price of their houses and that now they were éxpected to pay for the con- struction of sewers in the West Rouge and Rosebank areas. John Kidd of 859 Douglas av- enue asked the councillor about the additional garbage dump Tobacco Sells At 47.19 Cents Lb.

A treasurer's report showed that the ratepayers had an amount of $196 in their savings account and a total of $107.07 in their current account; an amount of $13 was awaiting spending in the petty cash. It was also reported at the meeting that the post office was considering the door to door de- liveries in the south end of Pickering Township including Bay Ridges.
