wvvlf tjffiv 1 t jrs the twelve pages loe per copy georgetown ontario wednesday evening december 25th 1957 what council did planner denies opinion shift on housing ratio i dont want to start a discus- sion but i want to put the facts straight about something i said at a recent council meeting said cr ern hvde as 1957 council bu siness moved to a close on decem ber 16th cr hyde read a letter he had received from planning consult ant dr e g paludi which quoted a statement by mr hyde at the december 4th council meeting re ported in the herald as follows we cant pass by the fact that four years ago we were told by an expert that a 4060 ratio was allimportant and now the same man is saying it is not im portant even though the ratio is 1981 at present dr faludi in his letter said that a statement by him might have been misinterpreted and that he would appreciate an opportun ity to clarify it i called dr faludi today said cr hyde and he says that at no time has he suggested to the town mr heslop or anyone else that the 4060 ratio be dropped nor has he been asked to submit any other opinion cr hyde said that at the may 27th council meeting mr heslop had led council to believe that dr faludi had made this remark dr faludi hasnt changed his mind and he objects to people putting words in his mouth said cr hyde 1 remember when dclrex re quested opening more land for housing and cr hyde suggested the ratio would be thrown out even more if this happened del- rex representatives said things have changed and the 4060 ratio is not of prime importance any more said cr fred harrison f dont recall faludi betngiti- volved in any change of plan said mayor armstrong if you had that opinion it wasnt neces sarily the opinion of the whole council i apologize to dr faludi for quoting him on something- he didnt say said cr hyde as the discussion ended but i would al so defend myself by saying i was led to believe that he had said it when sid hardie president of east georgetown ratepayers as sociation expressed disappoint ment that by the time new candi dates for council had an opportun ity to speak at the nomination meeting many of those attending the meeting had gone home

persons are injured and much property damage is done by motor ists who drink and drive r any person apprehended under these circum stances will be dealt with to the fullest ex tent of the law chtefcon because the province will not approve a flat rate sewer charge on the water bill council has had to revise its opinion on how to assess the cost of a proposed new sewage disposal plant originally council had decided to raise a portion of the 830000 cost by a 5 mill slice of the gene- ral tax rate plus a service charge l based on the number of water out lets discussing the matter at the december 16th council meeting mr redfern of the consulting en gineering firm of proctor redfern and laughlin suggested that the council draft a new bylaw as the various government departments which will deal with the matter will not allow the flat rate charge mayor armstrong said he dis agreed with this as it will throw a heavier charge on industry if sewer charges are based on wat er gallonage id like as little as possible extra cost placed on wdustry said cr fred harrison itwill discou rage new industry locating here which we are trying so hard to get reeve stan allen said an esti mate might be made of how much industrial waste goes into the sewer system and that charg es could be based on this mr redfern said that its difficult to depart from any system other than use of water householders too vary considerably in usage with some using large quantities for lawn watering it might be possible the mayor suggested to grade charges up to a certain gallonage of water used then make a very small charge or no charge at all for excess use a new scale of rates was set for election officials 15 for deputy returning officers 13 for poll clerks and 14 for the use of poll ing stations the rates to be paid to officials this year council agreed to pay surveying and legal costs and to provide town services to the property line of land owned by harold cleave in exchange for title to a portion of the old radial rightofway which will be used to create an entrance to the new park school property chairman ern hyde who negotiated this agreement with mr cleave also suggested that council buy 18 acres of land adjoining the park for which mr cleave is asking 2000 an acre and another 47 acreage lying in esquesing township asking price of which is 1000 an acre council decided to complete the 1 8 deal and to offer 3000 for the 47 acreage cr alfred sykes reiterated his opinion that in 1958 any land of fered for sale by the town should be advertised for sale by tender cr fred harrison said that if john street is an example he does not favour any more sanitary landfill in residential areas while agreeing that at times the john street fill has not been nice to look at cr harry hale under whose department this falls explained that there are dif ficulties hard to overcome some times the bulldozer is working elsewhere on instruction of coun cil he said at other times if
