Fin- ancially this would be a great saving even to those who don't put in an appearance every week, Oh yes, the cost, of the card was suggested, but I don't recall any motion being passed on it, so I'd better hold back again. Then again 'there was the idea of a big dance to herald the fast-approach- ing spring . . . but difficulties do arise, and worry, worry, worry. With so much activity in town already to occupy active minds the idea had to be shelved until a future meeting, The dance Saturday was very successful. Perhaps it was the advent of spring again that was responsible' for having pulled the Royal Oaks out of the minor rut they've been in and put them 'in the groove" again. They were certainly in top form and steady harmony.

Mr. Spurgeon point. ed out that by the former Tiethod of assessment there was no man. ual to go by and assessors were in some cases appointed each year and were often inexperienced. They frequenty got contractors' prices on two or three different types of houses on which they based the assessment, not taking into consideration faciities such as tiled bathrooms, recreation rooms and oil-burners, etc. Mr, Spurgeon stated the assessment had been completed in Ward 1-A and 1-B on.the west side, and that three parcels of land had been added to the roll. The as- sessor said that while making in- spections he was not so much concerned with the mill rate but rather in concentrating on giving a fair and equitable valuation of land and buildings.

The deputation spokes- man said this would be agreeable to the Legion: Another member of the depu- tation, Robert Haddon, suggested that while parks were necessary, possibly houses were more im- portant. There was discussion of this by council, but they agreed with Don Davis, chairman of the parks board, who spoke on this point, that there was need for additional park area rather than the sacrificing of any existing park land. Councillor Black said he thought it might be wise to ap- proach the township to see if they would consider selling a strip of land they owned on Mor- den Rd. "From 12 to 15 houses could be accommodated," he stat- ed, He was also of the opinion that possibly it had come to the point where the town would have to spend an additional mill if it wished to have additional park land. "If we want parks we have to spend money to get them," he stated. Don Davis, on behalf of the parks board, asked for an in- crease in the grant, pointing out that the grant of one mill, or $3,600 was not sufficient with which to carry on. "This year $3,000 of this amount will have to go for wages," he stated. "The board will need $4,800 to meet its requirements without an im- provements--that leaves us a de- ficit of $1,200, Oakville is grow- ing like the proverbial weed, but the town. We are six semi-sane, semi-intelligent business men on the board trying to do the best we can, but there is not much we can do with a standard grant of one mill. There are many chil- dren on the west side but there are no playgrounds in that area. Trafalgar park has been added to the commitments of the parks board--it has been let, go to seed and it is going to take money to put it in shape," he explained. A motion was passed request- ing the minister of planning and development to designate .Oak- ville and that part of Trafalgar township lying below No. 5 high- way as a planning area under the terms of the act. In explaining his motion, Councillor Milne stressed that before a planning commission was appointed by the town it was necessary to have an area suitable to the minister de- clared a planning area. He stress- ed the fact that planning was needed and that this was the first step toward making it possible. Deputy-reeve Litchfield report- ed that the town is faced with an increased cost for the sewage di posal plant from the original esti: mate of $100,000 to $181,608. A motion was passed asking the Department of Health to issue a mandatory order to cover this increase in the debenture amount, A motion granting permission to the board of governors of the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial hos- pital to erect a billboard at the sight of the new hospital was passed by council. A petition for sewers on Deane Ave, under the local improve- ment by-law, was referred to the committee for action.
