The group _-- also received correspond- ence from Grey Coach Lines' Director of Traffic B. Stewart, acknowledging coun- cil's letter regarding complaints as to the location of the village bus terminal. According to Mr. Stewart, the company had received some excellent commenda- tions on the agency location, the facilities themselves, hours of operation, and _ the professional manner in' which the business has been conducted. To date he said, not one letter that either criticizes or expresses concern on the actual location of this agency has been received by Grev Coach. Traffic hazard A letter was read at council asking the group to consider installing a traffic light at the corner of Houden and Yonge Streets, or if that is not possible, provide a paid adult guard to supervise the crossing for two hours per day. The letter. submitted by H.C.E.S. Principal Frank Archer, cited the widening of the Yonge Street South roadway, and the presence of parked cars in the curb lane obstructing the vision of student patrollers as potential hazards to youngsters crossing at the corner. In his letter he stated he hoped "we don't have to wait for an accident to happen to realize how dangerous this (the crossing) is."' According to Village Clerk Faye Townes, Moore, Tinney praised by Tay reeve for their efforts on council Reeve Charlie Rawson of Tay Town- ship had some kind words last week for two members of his council who resolved earlier in the vear not to seek re- election. The reeve praised both Councillor David Meore and Deputy- reeve Bruce' Tinney during remarks last week at the last regular meeting of the current council. Reeve Rawson spoke of their contribution to council over the past two vears. He regretted they would not be on council in 1981 but was glad to have had the experience of working with both members. Rawson indicated at times there was disagreement at the council table but this did not prevent members maintaining a good relationship. Rawson then offered a welcome to councillors- cost of a set of traffic lights for the in- tersection. would be about $25,000, not counting maintenance. Instead, an alternate solution was reached. Students notliving in that area of the village will now cross Yonge Street at the lights, while those living in that area will continue to cross as before. A safety patroller will remain on duty at the intersection, but the number of children crossing should be greatly reduced. elect Kay Chambers and Bill Gibson. He also indicated that the second term of this present council had been the best term in the last eight years that he has been on council. Councillor Tom O'Hara being the senior councillor then offered his own good wishes to the members leaving council indicating that all differences were able to be resolved: and then offered a welcome to the two new mem- bers. Councillor David Walker thanked Tinney and Moore indicating that they both made major contributions to council. Councillor Walker felt council had operated on the basis of the job must get done rather than on the basis of con- frontation. He welcomed the members to Council and indicated he is looking forward to working under Reeve Rawson as_ deputy- reeve. in Deputy-reeve Tinney thanked members of council. He indicated the term has been interesting and worthwhile and "Did what he could." Tinney congratulated the two new members for showing an interest in the municipality by running for council. Councillor Moore noted he had helped to appoint Charles Rawson as reeve in the first place and also had his Own personal support even though some points in time there were disagreements. He wished the best to the new council, both good health and hap- piness.
