Last year, a very light one as far as snow was concerned, the corporation paid $347,000 for snow removal and $352,000 for salting to keep its citizens cheerful about the snow. Though some people are not understanding about finding their driveways heaped in the morning from the snow plough after having energetically shovâ€" elled the night before. Toronto considers the sidewalks are the responsibility of the house dwelâ€" ler, and raising the blade of the machine for every driveway an impossibility.

York Township likes its streets and sidewalks immediately and completely visible. In fact it is said you can retire at midnight and rise at six a.m., it can have snowed a foot in the interval, and you would never have known it from the look of York Township. The biggest headache in snow removal here is the problem of cars and trucks yarkâ€" ed on streets at night. Not even a Barber Green front end loader will remove these. $5,000 and $6,000 per year. If it seems unfair the cost to Weston is almost as much as to Etobiâ€" coke, consider that. Metropolitan Toronto clears many of Etobiâ€" coke‘s arteries such as Highways 27 and 401, and streets such as Dundas and Bloor. â€" Nor does Etobicol â€"worry about sidewalk clearance. _ Mrs. Moore‘s ‘problem | arises from the position of the parking méter stand which is so placed that cars run almost right up to her door. The matter is further aggravate by the position of a hydro pole which helps block the exit and entrance of the house. * In her preliminary letter to the council she suggested that she has been so long suffering on South Station that she should have the right to the parking meter fees for her trouble. The danger of forcing little children to enter the middle of the street when entering or leaving the house was broucht forcefully to the attention of the Mrs. G. Moore, 26 Station Street, betrayed a keen sense of humour in her letter to the Weston Council in which she lamentâ€" ed the position of a parking meter right in front of her house doorstep. But there was nothing funny about the way she took the Mayor and council to task when she made a personal apâ€" pearance. The village of Woodbridge wishes to annex 4,100 acres of land from Vaughan township in order to take advantage of a developer‘s offer to carry the bill for a sewage disposal plant, This is the fourth request"by" Woodbridge to the Ontario Munict= pal Board for a municipal sewage system. The three previous applications were turned down on the grounds that the capital outlay would put the village‘s debenture debt out of proportion. Council Agreed To Remove Parking Meter From Door Annexation Foretells Colosswl‘ Growth For Woodbridge Village On Dec. 3rd Mr. George Packham, John Street, Weston, celeâ€" brated his 98th birthday. Many old friends came to congratulate him and to wish him all the best in years to come. Seated left to right are William Shales, George Packham, John Shannon, council. Mrs. Moore did not hedge when she claimed that the town‘s lack of care on South Station was damaging the genâ€" eral appearance of the neighâ€" bourhood. Her term was that the street occasionally resembled a slum. It was evident from the outset that Mrs. Moore would receive anything that was reasonable and within the power of the council to grant. The council unanimously agreed to make arâ€" rangements to assure that the placement of the parking meter would no longer create a . menace to the residents of or visitors to 26 Station Street.

Faludi intends to explore the situation from every aspect, before he presents his plan. A suggestion by Weston Fire Chief McGinnis that the council consider placing a night watchâ€" man at the Weston Collegiate was tabled for the 1958 council for consideration next year. The fire chief noted that in the event of a fire starting at the school his department would have no way of been alarmed until too late to fight the fire effectively. a housing and industrial subdiâ€" vision. The developer has agreed to finance a sewage plant which will service the subdivisfon and the existing community as well. The village‘s present water supâ€" ply is adequate enough to serve the new subdivision but tests are being conducfed by the Inâ€" ternational Water Supply to alâ€" low for further growth.
