But, council forgot to invite themselves. Deputy Reeve Mrs. Jean Mc- Pherson said at the outset, that she frankly didn't know what the meeting was all about Reeve Clifford Laycox was ab- sent as were most of the town- ship councillors. A hurried call to the township clerk Douglas Plitz cleared up the situation. It was a Public Utilities committee meeting and} not, as was understood by coun- cillors from Ajax and the vil- lage, a meeting of the whole council. Ajax Mayor Harry Smith said his council was ready to talk dollars and cents with the town- ship and was represented by the entire finance committee along with engineer George Robinson Village Reeve Ross Murison,} who attended along with most of the village councillors and Clerk Bruce Hogarth, asked why the Ontario Water Re- sources Commission was not at the meeting to outline plans. DUFFINS CREEK Township engineer Paul Poul- son, who attended along with the deputy reeve, and council- lors John Williams and Ronald Chatten said he was also sur- prised that all of township coun- cil was not present. Mr. Poul- should combine and go to the OWRC for a. sewage treatment plant on the mouth of Duffins Creek to_serve the nicipalities. It's known we all need sew- age treatmént facilities and we should find out if it's cheaper to join forces," said Mr. Poulson The township engineer said his {municipality had a developer prepared to pay a considerable amount of money toward sew- age treatment facilities and if the other municipalites saw fit to join in a large project it would be a matter of economics from an engineering viewpoint. Ajax Coun, Edward Wetherall said he was surprised that the township reeve did not attend the meeting and that the OWRC |was not invited to present its |views. 'This leaves it almost impossible to proceed. We are already carrying out studies in Ajax to double the size of our treatment plant," said finance chairman Wetherall. Deputy Reeve McPherson said OWRC. was not invited and added that she was advised at 14:45 p.m. Thursday that the meeting would be held. En- gineer Poulson said he was only asked to attend a public utilities committee meeting. Coun. Chatten said that al- though the OWRC was not in- vited to the meeting the town- ship had negotiated with them. three mu-} three municipalities could not agree on a common ground that it would be mutually advan tageous to develop together Engineer Poulson said the was reached between the mu- |nicipalities. MISUNDERSTANDING | Ajax Mayor Smith said he was there through a misunder- standing.

He said if the three municipalites asked for an OWRC study now they might "Were nearly ready to pro- ceed with our addition and we! feel we can do it more eco-| nomically than said Coun.

Several members wore centennial costumes. Among the items of historical value were a seal and wax used for the sealing of letters when there was no postage .used, a display of early hymn books used by the pioneers and a book giving medical advice. Mrs, Stanley Osborne gave a brief history of the founding of the Ontario Ladies' College which began its activities as a school in the home of Sheriff Nelson Reynolds, the first sher- iff of Ontario County. Sheriff Reynolds had served as a member of parliament be- fore his appointment to the of- fice of sheriff of Ontario County in 1854. His home. Trafalgar Castle, now the main portion of the college, was the gracious setting where many dignitaries of the time were entertained by Sheriff Reynolds, and his wife. Among the many dignitaries was Prince Arthur who turned the sod for the construction of the Whitby - Port Perry railway in 1860. When the Trafalgar Castle began as a school it cost the student $4 a term to attend the Ontario Ladies' College.
