The statement which apâ€" pears in Works Committee Reâ€" port No. 25 dated July 4th, goes on to say "Our endeavour is to try and provide all citizens with water at all times, even if at & reduced pressure."

This soâ€" porific to present Township reâ€" sidents is no longer the answer to a harried Council‘s prayer. Metro has now let North York down very badly as the reports in the daily press bear out only too correctly. Somebody at some level of this water mess has had their last chance at keeping the public quiet. It is as much as a Councillor‘s public life is worth to vote for any other solution but the immediâ€" ate cessation of residential buildâ€" ing in the Township until such time as the physical installation of water lines carrying the phyâ€" sical quantity of water: for which it was designed is in the ground passing in front of any subdivider‘s raw land. It is becomting more and more obvious as the water situation worsens in the Township that only one group of persons are benefitting from the continued expansion of residential areas at a time when there is not sufficient water to handle this expansion and that is the SUBâ€"= statements" of officials who have been proven wrong for three years now. This last scandal is in great part a "Meâ€" tro Goof" of no mean proporâ€" tion. Fred Gardiner‘s "calculâ€" ated risk" to use his own words has been a dismal flop insofar as North York residents are concerned. It appears from reâ€" ports in the daily press that this last mess of 7,000,000 gallons short of the promised 10,000,000 gallons for North York by July 15th is primarily one of proper éngineering information b¢ing improperly witheld from North York Officials by Metro Offiâ€" cials. If this is the case there should be no longer be iany \reservations on North York ‘Council. The first recommendaâ€" tion and of course only truly |effective one would be a comâ€" {plete ban on any future resizn- \tial building until such time as \the actual water crosses the :acâ€" ‘tual lot lines involved in any \fufure building. â€" * DIVIDERS Private enterprise is a wonderful thing when it is properly developed under pro« per public safeguards for those that might and do suffer when prompt and effective action is constantly "put off" whenever private enterprise blunders on merely for personal gain. ‘The public in North York are fed up What Council will decide? in its wisdom will, we trust, be the type of action that present resiâ€" dents in the Township have been plaguing them. The soluâ€" tion is such a direct and simple one that it is of constant amazeâ€" ment to the man in the street that it has not been adopted (Continued on Page 6.)
