D. Thomson indicafing a cost breakdown for the installation of lights at the municipal tennis courts on Water Street. The total cost according to the report would be $7400, of 0 J » Which the Tennis Club would contribute $3000, Wintario and . provincial grants would contribute $4315, if approved, and an $85 balance would be picked up by the Township, It was decided, however, that no work could begin on the project until the provincial and Wintario grants applications had received formal approval. Councillor Reg Rose pointed out that the Tennis club ia representatives had been asked by the council more than six weeks ago to make the grant applications, and this had not been done at that time. While stating clearly that the Council endorses in principle the installation of lights, any delays have not been the fault of the council. Two tenders have been submitted for the installation of lights; one from Doug Pinder Electric of Fenelon Falls for $7400, and the other from Ken Murray Electric of Port Perry + for $7500. A motion Monday afternoon that the Pinder bid be accepted was defeated with council indicating that the job should go to a local contractor. SEAGRAVE DEVELOPMENT Council approved the development of three lots out of a « seven-lot parcel in Seagrave proposed by Bryce Jones of Prince Albert. The seven-lot development had been deemed "pre- mature' by 'Scugog Council earlier this summer on an application by the developer to sever the lots through 'the regional land division office. : 4 Mr. Jones' request that the development take place in Vstages was approved, with three adjacent lots to be developed initially, and the remaining four at a later, unspecified date. BLACKSTOCK ARENA Arequest by the Blackstock Artificial Ice Committee for interim financing was agreed to in principle Monday night by "# Scugog council. Formal agreement was tabled however, until after the committee meets this week with a project controller who is expected to oversee the installation of articial ice making equipment in the Blackstock arena. . Once the costs and the installation procedures have been clearly defined by the project controller, Council indicated it would approve the request for interim financing to a maximum of $43,000. It was made clear that this would be » conditional only after formal approval has been received for $32,000 in Wintario and Community Centres grants, which have been applied for. ) : Of the $60,000 project to refurbish the arena and install the ice-making equipment, the committee will have to raise about $18,000. Committee members indicated Monday night that $6,000 of this total has already been realized, and that an .» intensive campaign is presently underway to raise the remainder. The committee hope that the installation of pipes and the ice-making machinery could get underway in the next two weeks, so that the ice could be installed for the middle of December.

WILLIAMS POINT Lloyd Haines and Steve Ware of Williams Point pre- sented council with a 150- name petition requesting initially that the speed limit on the narrow dirt. road through the cottage area east of Caesarea be reduced to 15 MPH. Although council agreed in principle with the request for the reduced limit, Mayor Lawrence Malcolm pointed out that provincial regul- ations would not permit any- thing less than a 30 MPH limit. However, it was determined that posting signs of this speed could pos- sibly add to the dangerous situation, as it was thought that 'drivers would see the signs and then attempt to drive at the limit, {There are presently no speed limit signs through the area in question, but the actual legal limit is 50 MPH. However, the nature and condition of the narrow road would make it almost impos- sible to drive at this speed, .and it was pointed out by Mr. Ware and Mr. Haines that most drivers do not exceed even 30 MPH, Mr. Ware said that the danger factor is especially acute during the summer months when there are a lot of children playing -in the cottage area. He added however, that more families are living there on a year- round basis and two school buses now make daily stops in the community. After some debate on how to get the driving speeds reduced, council decided PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 28, 1977 -- 3 Briefs Citizens petition for speed reductions that the Township Roads department should erect warning signs indicating "children playing", or "watch for children". Mr, Haines said that any kind of sign with an "official look" to it would be a help. It was pointed out that 'although drivers doing 30 - 45 MPH along the road may not be breaking the legal limit, they could indeed be prose- cuted for the more serious charge of dangerous driving. Utica boundaries will restrict growth After a long and at times confusing debate involving motions and amendments, Scugog council agreed late Monday night on the land area to be included in the Utica hamlet boundaries, and on the amount of new residential development for a parcel of land in the northwest area of the com- munity. While the land acreage proposed for development by Jacobsen Construction was included by council in the hamlet boundaries, the decision taken to limit new house construction to ten units may make it econom- ically impossible for the developer to go ahead with any new construction. PETITION Jacobsen Construction has been proposing a develop- ment of 19 new homes on the land which would require the construction of a road into the subdivision. The cost of building this road and instal- ling other services such as sidewalks and street lights may not make the develop- (continued on page 8) in \ ad Fall Handbags TALL TASHION FINDS POSLUN FALL & WINTER COATS POLYESTER GABARDINE & POLYESTER WOOL BLEND PANT SUITS NEW GOLDEN CROWN SUEDE Jumpsuits | WN QUILTED - VELOUR - BRUSHED NYLON Housecoats Ski Jackets BY UTEX Many Styles Ladies - Mens - Childrens SNOWMOBILE SUITS (Merchandise Not Exactly as lllustrated.)
