Our local council has emphatically re- fused Andy band space on our new water tower tank in order to advertise his golf club facilities. How do you li-e those -_ie•,r Laycox Street signs? Now that our esteemed councillor from ',lard #5 has jade goon the first of his many election promises, how about the rest of us co-operating by having; our house numbers displayed in a con- spicuous place on all cur homes. Here's a Christma.a gift suggestion for the woi,.an of the house to give to the n,an of the house - "a letter slot for the front door" - Door to door mail delivery is still a few years away, but in the i,.eantir:,e the letter slots could oe used for all those sales sheets that usattliy get blown off your front steps and end up on the lawn. Besides thst, the clu m;j.n c,.,n have fun installing it. Isn't it about tie,e the Works Department checked all the culverts ana ditches? We will have snow before you ::now it and the ground will be frozen solid making minor adjustments impossible. The ditch area on the east side of vast Ave. between Island Roau and the top enu of Rouge Hill Drive is a spot that needs attention. This mosquito haven o4ly recently dried out from the spring run off. Those people who recently had their drive- ways paved can expect a raise in their taxes.

School opened for the fall term last week with an enrollment of four hundred and seventy-five pupils compared to around seventy-five when the school first opened in the fall of 1954.

CLIFF LAYCOX I trust that all readers and their families have had a long enjoyable sum- mer and have returned from their vaca- tions completely refreshed. My family and myself have just re- turned from a trip through the Southern States and to say the least I have been deluged with questions in regard to sewers and the " that is it" ('later Tower). At the moment I think that you are more interested in what is being done about sewers, I shall pass on to you the latest information as received from the Engineering; Department. The Engineer- ing design is almost complete. A firm of Ontario Land Surveyors are now in the act of surveying; easements clear across to Frenchman's Ray for the main trunk sev er from ':Vest Rouge to the pro- posed pumpinc7 station on the '.'lest side of Frenchman's Pay. ^,`e hope to present our proporal to the Ontario '!later Re- sources Commission some time this month and f ollowinf; their approval to approach The Ontario Municipal Board for their permission to raise the necessary monies to permit work to commence in the fall. Much of the work on the sewers in Vilest Rouge can and will be done under the new fabricated Mike Starr ''linter 'Ylorks Program under which the Federal Govern- ment will subsidize salaries to the ex- tent of 5001 the Provincial Government 25'1"of and our Township 25/'17. This plan will no doubt account for more savings on this project. "JHAT IS IT"---"7010T DO WE FIRE" are but a couple of the questions I have been asked in regard to the ',lest Rouge water tank which is now under construction at the top end of East Ave. The most im- portant single factor that I can think of in connection with the placement of the dater Tank is that West Rouge will at last becone an identified locality. ^Ihen completed the tank will be painted a pastel shade of green and will bear in large letters on two sides "*,TEST ROUGE". The Tank should be in operation by the fall and in addition to giving the area far better pressure than we now enjoy, it will insure us of an uninterrupted supply of water should difficulties ever arise at the lake front pumping station. VlEST POU E is suffering with growing pains as is evidenced by the recent start of the 2ou-edale subdivision bounded by East Ave. and Port Union Road. The re- gistration of the subdivision plan has encountered a slight hold up however three sample houses are already nearing completion on the Port Union Road bound- ary but the entire project should be well on the way by the late fall.

SERVICE DIVISION Evgs. till 9 (ex. Sat.) Bob Stewart IM Some drainage problems have arisen throughout the area, the worst of which are located on Fanfare Ave., Rouge Hills Drive (Rear Yards) and Brownfield Gdns. (Rear Yards). I have surveyed these conditions in the company of our Township Engineer and our Roads Supt. and steps will be taken to correct them if possible. When I presented the need for the fencinc; of private swimming pools to the Council it was with no thought in my mind of discriminating against those fortunate enough to have a private pool, but rather to take steps to protect those who do have them, against the possibility of strange children playing around and falling into same. Copies of the By -Law cover- ing this are available at the Township Office and may be obtained by applying to. Mr. Harry Ashton BY/Law Enforcement Officer Township of Pickering Municipal Office Brougham, Ontario. I have been requested to explore the possiblity of having school signs posted on Island Rd. to the East and West of East Ave. My preliminary find- ing is that this may not be legal pro- cedure due to the school not being on Island Rd. however I shall look into this further in the interests of Child safety. Work has commenced on the new St. Marys Separate School in East Rouge and should be completed in the fall. The Architect for that structure Is none other than our own local resid- ent Bill Sacoccio of Island Rd. New buses have been purchased by Area 2 School Hoard in the interest, of economy as well as more efficient transportation to and from classes for our children. Council have also agreed to raise funds, for the School ;hoard to commence con- struction. of the 7iest Rouge Gymnatorium if and when approval is obtained. Our Police Dept. have just completed an exhaustive survey of street stop signs, slow signs etc. It could be that some of the signs that you are used to ob- serving will be removed and others in- stalled elsewhere. "BE'NARE" In the last issue of this newspaper it was my unpleasant duty on your behalf to bid au revoir to our genial engineer T.O. Jefferson on has resignation to take up employment in private industry. I now take the greatest of pleasure, again on your behalf, in welcoming back that genial character.
