Mr. Donald Kitchen, speaking on behalf of
the Bay Ridges Ratepayers protested to Coun-
cil on MONDAY Evening over the restriction of
water in the township and also on the high mill
rate for Bay Ridges residents.

night. Those left in the halls unable to hear the meeting talked and joked causing the Reeve to
warn the ratepayers that he might adjourn the meeting. (Photo - Bob Watson)
Ordered Out Of Council
Mr. C.S. Morton of Frenchman's Bay was or-
dered to leave the Council Chambers on Monday
evening after hurtling wild, abusive remarks to
the Reeve.
Mr. Morton whose name was on the Agenda
to speak on matters pertaining to the Police
Department and Township roads was later per-
mitted to address council after he had 'cooled
down'.
Mr. Morton complained of being stopped along
Liverpool Road on numerous occasions by the
Police Department; also on being ordered to
report to testing machines with his vehicle.
"We need a Police force to protect us from
the Police force in this Township" he said.
Dealing with the roads, he stated that the
roads in the south part of Liverpool Road are
"in horrible condition". He asked why these
roads were not getting the attention they re-
quire.
Go To The Province
A resolution was
passed by Pickering
Township Council on
Monday evening that
Council is prepared to
compile and support a
presentation to the
Provincial Govern-
ment regarding taxes
in Pickering Township
and surrounding
areas.

How do you enter the contest? It is extremely
simple. Just take the name "BAY REPORTER"
- and see how many words you can make from
the letters contained in the newspaper name.
As an example you could make the word "ray"
as well as "report". And there are many other
possible combinations.
"The latest increase in municipal taxes could
be the straw that has broken the camel's back.
Our community, Bay Ridges, is a lower to
middle income area, or in other words, a work-
ing man's community, and in these days of high
costs of living, many of us find it hard to keep
our heads above water, (if we had water),
and to enjoy the amenities of life." Mr. Kitchen
went on to explain that it is startling to real-
ize that the home owner in Bay Ridges will
work, on the average, one month this year
solely to pay his municipal taxes.
Mr. Kitchen suggested that as about 97% of
wage earners in Bay Ridges earn their living
outside of Pickering "Township, the Provincial
Government could, by direct grant, give
an amount of money equal to that which the
I ownship would have collected in taxes had
the industries for whom these people work been
located in Pickering. He also suggested com-
plete removal of the costs of education, wel-
fare and police from property taxes, which would
eliminate almost two-thirds of the tax rate. He
suggested taxation on people for services to
people, and taxation on property for services
to property.
Mr. Kitchen asked Council for their support
in representations to the Provincial Govern-
ment for tax relief and tax reform. He stated
that at the Bay Ridges Ratepayers' Meeting to
be held on April 11th a march on (queen's
Park will be suggested. The President of the
Metro Toronto Tax Reform Council advised Mr.
Kitchen that a brief would be presented to the
Provincial Government regarding tax reforms
to aid all municipalities. Residents will be ad-

Dry Spell Coming
Pickering Township Council chambers were
bursting at the seams on Monday evening when
approximately 200 irate ratepayers converged
on the Council meeting in protest of excessively
taxes and the anticipated water shortage emer-
gency.
Although the water shortage was the cause
of laughter on several occasions, it was quite
obvious that everyone realized that, in fact,
it was nothing to laugh at. The high taxes even
lured a number of reporters and photographers
from the large daily papers who normally do
not concern themselves with the happenings in
Pickering Township.
In order to appease the crowd the first item
discussed was the water shortage and an amend-
m=nt was read into the Bylaw restricting water
use for lawns and car washing. Actually the
amendment m-)unted up to very little. It stated
that watering of lawns and washing of cars
would be prohibited between June 15th and Sep-
tember 15th. In other words, when the lawns
need watering the most, during the hot drying
summer months. you may ONLY WATER YOUR
LANK BY USING A WATERING CAN THAT
CAN BE CARRIED BY ONE PERSON. This is
fine for the few uncaring people who never
water their lawns anyway -- but when you
have spent three or four years trying to rid
your lawn of dandelions and crab grass, nursed
it along to a point where you are beginning
to get it looking the way you want it, then boom
.... no water!
Washing cars . . . well we are lucky in hav-
ing a car wash within easy reach and accord-
ing to the bylaw they will not be restricted.
Their hoses seem to dribble on endlessly. wheth-
er or not they are being used!
How about the many swimming and wading pools
that the kiddies enjoy so much during their
summer holidays? There is no restriction on
them as yet -- but I suppose the bylaw will
have to be amended again in order to re-
strict them. As our original column on this
subject was headed -- it is going to be a "Dry
Summer Ahead".
Okay, so people came to Pickering Township
by choice but if this trend continues they may
just be forced to stay . . . who would want to
buy a home in such an overtaxed area. It has
even been heard that mortgage sources are
tightening their pockets when approached for
loans on homes in Pickering Township.

We're Being Barbequed Till We're Well Done - Kruger
In fighting the taxation issue, Mr. John Kruger
of West Rouge appeared before Council on Mon-
day evening. He feared that if the increase
is carried forward into 1968 the mill rate in
1968 is projected to be 133.5 mills, meaning
another tax increase in 1968 of $88.00on a $5,000
assessment. "If we can freeze the mill rate
right where it is, or if by some device we
can obtain external financial relief, then home
ownership might be bearable but in the ab-
sence of such measures, the inertia of spiral-
ling debt mist have, of necessity, force the
average homeowner out of this Township. It
is just that simple" commented Mr. Kruger.
"Taxation is like fire" he said "It can keep
you warm, turn steam into energy and do alot
of good but if you let it get out of control, it
can burn you to death. In Pickering ever so
surely, we are being barbequed and by the time
1968 rolls around, I regret to say that Ifeel
we will be very well done".
Mr. Kruger went on to suggest an aggressive
action plan. With the re -assessment of homes
in Pickering by Ontario County, he said that
most homeowners will likely experience an
increase in their assessment base and unless
there is a proportionate decrease in the mill
rate. we will experience a tax increase with -

out the mill rate actually changing.
"Too often at the time of general reassess-
m--nts it is politically expedient to effect no
change in mill rate but the ratepayer still pays
an increase beacuse of the increased assess-
ment base." he explained. Mr. Kruger strongly
urged Council to go on record with the rate-
payers insisting on a downward adjustment in
mill rate to compensate for any increase in
the assessment base.
Secondly, he suggested every effort to be made
to offset rising school costs. "Council has stated
with respect to the school taxes `these are items
over which we, the Council, have no control' ".
Mr. Kruger disagreed with this statement, stat-
ing that it was his view that Council abrogates
its fiscal and moral responsibility to its rate-
payers by taking such a defeatist attitude. He
criticized meetings between Council and the
School Board being closed to the public at
budget time. He stated that costs in the William
G. Davis School now being built on East Avenue
are "out of proportion to what this Township
can bear". "We cannot afford the luxury of in-
vesting in experimentation in school buildings.
We need simple, warm, well -ventilated class-
rooms. We don't need fancy carpets, murals,
expensive tile and expensive windows. We do not
need a completely different design for each new
school and the services therefore of an expen-
sive Architect. The sooner we strike common
standards fo r all school construction, the bet-
ter".
Mr. Kruger stated that he had sat in Council
and heard in disbelief as he listened to Coun-
cillors discussing further high - rise de-
velopment, mAtiple dwelling developments and
sub -division developments without one stipula-
tion as the contribution to be made by these
developments towards school costs.
They said that the Department of Municipal
Affairs has expressed amazement that we would
permit sub -divisions to develop which are not
self-supporting. "Fortunately, some members
of Council are receptive to responsible re-
search and they are insisting on safeguards
in all developments, but these members are
in constant danger of being out -voted".
Thirdly. Mr. Kruger suggested that Munici-
pal Governments should exercise the same type
of responsible fiscal restraint that any tax -

payer himself must exercise. He said he felt
it was curious to see Council vote itself an
increase in salary at this time of financial
crisis. "As strongly as I know, I urge Coun-
cil to tighten up on every single operation and
to preen the fat from its ribs. This salary
increase was fat." said Mr. Kruger.
Finally, Mr. Kruger, suggested that Council
approach the Provincial Government stating that
the people of Pickering Township cannot be taxed
any further. If no relief is forthcoming, Mr.
Kruger suggested we will have to go in de-
fault on our debentures with the Government.
"Such a tactic would create a chain reaction".
"Bankruptcy of a municipality because of mount-
ing school taxes, is the last thing our Provincial
Government wants" he stated.
Mr. Kruger concluded by saying it was popu-
lar to blame the inaction of Queen's Park for
our troubles, yet the initial and prime reason
for the financial mess in which we find our-
selves, lies in the ineptitude, incompetenceand
lack of business acumen of Council. These are
desperate times calling for desperate rem-
edies."
When Mr. Kruger finished reading his brief,
Reeve Laycox remarked that he would not
dignify Mr. Kruger's remarks by replying.
From the applause given Mr. Kruger and also
Mr. Kitchen of Bay Ridges, it was apparent
that the crowd was in agreement with all that
the delegates had to say.
Turn Down Shopping
Mall Once Again
Mr. E.G. Devonshire again appeared before
Council in an attempt to get approval for the re-
zoning of land just west of Liverpool Road and
south of No. 2 Highway. Rezoning has been re-
quested to allow the construction of a shopping
plaza and office premises.
His request was again denied on the grounds
that the plans did not provide sufficient parking
area. Traffic in the area is extremely heavy now
and with the suggested plaza would definitely
create a hazard.
Mr. Devonshire spoke with regard to the amount
of money being spent in Ajax and in Metro by
Pickering Township residents. "Ajax should be
happy commercial property is not being per-
mitted in Pickering Township -- it entices de-
velopment into Ajax" he said.
Mr. Chatten asked Mr. Devonshire what por-
tion of the cost of services would his client
assume. Mr. Devonshire stated that he would
like this to be the subject of a further meeting.
"We have sat here saying how badly we need
commercial assessment yet tonight we have
spent 40 minutes on saying 'no' on the type
of assessment you people are bringing in'
remarked Reeve Laycox.

Water ...Water ... Water!
Water in Pickering Township is a luxury --
it is not as plentiful as you m'ght think when
you see it drip freely from your dripping
faucet.
Everyone has been made very much aware of
the shortage that exists since the passing of
a Bylaw prohibiting the use of water for wash-
ing cars and watering lawns. However, this By-
law was modified somewhat at Monday night's
Council meeting when it was amended to read
that this restri.:tion would take effect from June
15th. to September 15th of each year, or un-
til repealed.
In explaining the reason for the original By-
law, Councillor Chatten stated that the Com-
mittee was under the impression that an emer-
gency did exist at the present time, however,
since that bylaw was passed and after examin-
ing record charts of last year's water supply
they have come to the conclusion that the by-
law should not go into force until such time as
there is an emergency. Should this emergency
occur before June 15th a further amendment
will be necessary. Councillor Chatten went on
to explain that should the water supply reach
a point where it would not be adequate to pro-
vide for domestic needs in the homes then an
emergency would be declared and sound trucks
would tour the water area advising people of
the shortage and requesting their co-operation.
Reeve Laycox stated that the Township had
hoped that the new three -million gallon reser-
voir would have been completed before this
emergency occurred, but that Council had been
unable to receive the approval of the Ontario
Municipal Board to go ahead with the reser-
voir. ' Once we get the approval we have ten-
ders called. A three -million gallon reservoir
could be built in six or seven weeks. We could
then relieve you of not being able to get your
water".
It was pointed that that Township Council had
planned to commence construction of this re-
servoir last November and complete the whole
job under the Winter Works Programme. How-
ever, application to start construction of the re-
servoir was refused by the O.M.B., because

the reservoir pointed out Councillor Williams
-- "We may have the reservoir and necessary
mains in before the end of this restrictive by-
law. There's no sense in having water on the
lawns in one area of the subdivision and no
water coming out of the tap in another area.
This is what would happen" commented Council-

Gardeners Get Itchy Feet
If you would like some
Ideas for this year's
centennial gardens,
there are a few plant-
ings with the crest,
year etc. We will
be there on Saturday
with Shur Gain, so drop
around and say hello.
If you haven't started
your seeds, be sure to
get them under way
this week. Zinnis you
can plant directly in
the garden and the
same with marigold.
If you are out in the
garden and cleaning up
the flower beds, sprin-
kle allysum around the
,border and as soon as
It warms up, you will
find it growing.
Your sweet peas
should be in. The old
rule of thumb was
to plant them Good
Friday. With Easter
so early this year, you
still have plenty of
time. Soak the seed
over night, so that
It will germinate
quicker. You can leave
half the trench unfil-
led, and as they come
up add a little more
soil till the ground is
even.
Why not try the new
award winner this
year. It is dwarf in
size but not bloom
and does not need a
Season's
trellis as it will not
climb.
The crocus are
coming out and a little
fertilizer applied to
the area after the
blooms fade will help
the bulb to store up
food for next year's
bloom. The same ap-
plies to all the flow-
ering bulbs. Do not
remove the foliage till
It turns yellow. In
the case of daffodils
which take a little lon-
ger to die, just tie
them up by twisting
them over and tieing
them.
Be sure to get the
dormant spray on now
for the buds will soon
be starting to open with
the warm weather.
This will stop the seed
from germinating.
You should also apply
a fertilizer with a
crabgrass last year.
The lovely weather
last week -end gave
gardeners itchy feet.
The garden Centres
all around Metro were
crowded with custom-
ers purchasing fertili-
zer to apply to their
lawns.
We saw quite a few of
you last Saturday at the
home show. Elles-
mere Nurseries have a
lovely display of roses
at their booth. Mr.
Sloan has his own Con-
federation in bloom.
This is one of the cen-
tennial roses.
The Rotary club have
the Centennial and are
selling bushes at the
show. Miss Canada
is the Nurseryman's
rose and Ellesmere
,Nurseries also has
these as well.

TIMELY TIPI
Avoid extensive wastage of water. The smallest
leak can mean a fantastic loss of water over
a period of time. The following is a good in-
dicator of what waste a leak can cause.
A leak this size will waste 62,000 gallons
a year.

Bank For
You —Reeve
In trying to clarify
certain taxes levied in
Pickering Township,
the Reeve mentioned
that 1 mill had been
levied this year as a
reserve for a work-
ing fund.- "This coun-
cil has gone on re-
cord as having a re-
serve and paying
m :)ney in the bank on
your behalf.
A call from the gal-
lery followed these re-
marks. "Who gave you
the authority to bank
our money". The lady
who called out was not
allowed to speak and
not given the satisfac-
tion of an answer.
The Reeve wnet on to
blame the County of
Ontario, High School
and Public School
Boards, Conservation
Authority, Health Unit
and Police for the high
taxes. He stated that
these five bodies are
responsible for 93.6
mills on the taxes this
year and that Picker-
ing Township is only
responsible for 22.7
mills. He stated that
he felt all the angry
people gathered at the
Council meeting
should be approaching
School Boards and the
people who were re-
sponsible for hike in
the tax rate. "We are
only glorified tax col-
lectors" he com-
plained. "I would sug-
gest you make this
pitch to the School
Board too" he told the
crowd.

Course
The 1st West Rouge
Scout troop recently
hosted a St. John's
Ambulance first aid
course attended by
leaders and scouts of
the 1st C herrywood
troop and some civi-
lians.
Eleven scouts passed
the brigade's prelimi-
nary first aid exam-
ination, two scouts,
two leaders and one
civilian passed the
fundamentals, one
scout qualified for his
voucher and one leader
for his medallion.
The scouts will be
awarded the silver and
gold first aiders'
badges, which are an
obligatory require-
ment of the Queen's
Scout badge.
According to their
motto: "Be Pre-
pared", these scouts
have well qualified to
be of service to their
respective communi-
ties.
A fireman's badge
course conducted by
the Fire department
is planned for the near
future to further pre-
pare the scouts for
service to their: neigh-
bours.

meeting.
The new station will
be built adjacent to the
GO transit station
which is now located in
Guildwood near Cel-
este Drive. The rail-
way is buying an acre
of ground for the pup -
pose.
"This will cut off
1 1/2 to 2 1,'2 hours
travelling time for
Scarborough people,"
said Mayor Campbell.
"Up to now they have
had to go to the Union
Station to get on or off
the trains and this will
certainly be a boon to
them."
He also mentioned the
fact that it would be
very convenient for
travellers bound for
EX PO '67.
