BROUGHAM -- Mrs. Gladys Beckstead, a member of the .|Pickering Township Industrial 'Committee, supported by a delegation of F cench man's Bay residents, submitted a lengthy brief to the township council this week. The brief re- quested a forced local improve- ment for water and sewers in the area, She said that some months ago a petition was circulated and submitted to council. It was successful for the east side of the bay and unsuccessful for the west side. She explained that summer residents would not sign it, nor would marina operators who had lange front- ages (on which charges are based). The majority of perma- nent residents signed. Mrs. Beckstead maintained that parks and marinas should have proper washroom facilities rather than outhouses, "Many cannot use the water for drinking purposes,' she de- clared. 'Many have outhouses. In a built-up area this is most Residents Ask Water, Sewers SOR RO RRO ES RANEY LORI AIAN 2 RA unsanitary, There are endless problems with Wells are dry in summer, and -- is a continuous fire haz- ard." Mrs, Beckstead referred to Planning Board's tentative ap- proval for a marina in the Frenchman's Bay area, even- tually developing into a super marina, 'Has the Planning Board given any consideration to its hundreds of people?

Mr. Mitchell is the accountant in the treasur- er's department. "T though he was going to be treasurer," said Councillor Jobn Campbell. "IT questioned this too,' add- ed Reeve C. W. Laycox, who had only that day learned of this decision of the finance committee. "Mr. Plitz (recently appoint- ed clerk, and former treasurer of the township) feels it is his responsibility as clerk to look after this office,' said Council- lor Bill Newman, chairman of| the finance committee. Mr, Newman went on to say that Mr. Mitchell had been engaged last November, that he was fine for his accounting work, but had no experience yet in other aspects of the work, such as water billing, tax roll prepara- tion, and other duties, "I'm sorry it had to come up tonight," said Mrs, Newman; "thi: ussion of + nel," He asked the clerk explain his reasoning, and Mr, Plitz noted that it was the recommen- dation from township auditors that Mr. Mitchell have more ex- perience in the actual workings of the treasurer's office before he is promoted; that he should have perhaps a year, and that he (Mr. Plitz) should act as clerk-treasurer for the present. "T've seen CA's operate," said Councillor Campbell. "They have to work three years before they can sit for their CA de- gree. This qualifies them for any corporate work." "A man who has been in the township since November is not familiar with the work," said me Newman, "even if he is a "Frankly, I think it unfair," continued Mr. Campbell. "'It is only fair under the circum- stances to give Mr. Plitz a fair crack at this job of clerk, and that this man (Mitchell) take oe on his shoulders and do the job. Deputy Reeve Mrs. McPher- son asked if Mr. Mitchell couldn't be appointed treasur- er, and still get assistance from Mr. Plitz. "I think it would give Mr. Mitchell a better inside look at the work," she said. "We have given Mr. Plitz a load, and I feel he does need all the time we can give him." Mrs. McPherson reminded council that it is quite likely tax bills will be going out from the county in the near future. An amendment was _pro- posed, that Mr. Mitchell be engaged as treasurer, but lost. The motion to 'appoint him as deputy treasurer. was carried, with Mrs. McPherson and Mr. Campbell opposing. Councillor Hubert Wank was absent be- cause of illness When a motion was proposed to hire a female clerk for the treasurer's department, coun- cillors questioned it, recalling that a former resolution stated| that the clerical staff was to be! engaged by the ' department head concerned, "Sometimes I think when it is left with the department head to hire an employee," said Deputy Reevé Mrs. Mc- Pherson, '"'we have a_ very family compact set of em- ployees. I think if a relative or close friend , applies for al job, he gets he gets it.' Cobourg Midgets Defeat Ajax COBOURG -- Cobourg Mid-| gets counted their second win in as many games Tuesday, de- feating Ajax 6-4 in the eastern Ontario OMHA playoffs. Jerry Bambridge scored three times, Bill Ryan counted two Doug Campbell scored one for Cobou! rg. Scoring for Ajax were Ron McClish, Dave Linkende, Rick Black and Angus Reddell Both teams were assessed before the 500 fans at Cobourg arena, Cobourg outshot "I take great exception to this," said Councillor Newman. "The words 'family compact' looks bad. I know of no one who has been hired as a family compact." The resolution was passed -- as an exception to the usual policy -- that a female clerk be engaged. A resolution was passed to appoint signing officers of the township, in accordance with bank regulations. They are the clerk, deputy clerk, and deputy treasurer, and wel- fare administrator. The reeve is included in the list. Councillor John Campbell, remarking that council mem- bers were directors of the township, and as such respon- sible for the actions of em- ployees, questioned the bonding of responsible members of the staff. He suggested that the present bonding of $50,000 each should be, perhaps, increased. A motion was passed that premium prices be obtained, and the bonding for employee signing officers be increased to $100,000. Councillors hesitated before passing a resolution to author- ize the issuance of debentures in the amount of $87,000 to pur- chase 14 acres of land for expansion of Ajax High School. They were interested in the location of the site at a cost of more than $6,000 per acre, and the proposal for a vocational] wing and additional playing area, which would ultimately cost the three municipalities in- volved $2,190,000, Similarly, a resolution to au- thorize the issue of debentures of $975,090 for extension of Pickering District High School (nine rooms) disturbed Council- lor Donald Waring. He said. "T think this is just one way of announcing a $2% million debenture for a new vocational school." Mr. Campbell said that he understood that this was being done, and Mr. Newman re- called that the Provincial and Federal governments were pay- ing the balance of a 34-room composite type of school. treasurer] fendersand a full-width gril THE BEST JOBS 'an ee .
