CouncjJ.J..or Stewart. Chairman of the Fire Comr.Iit tee, reported as follows,
relative to the Volunteer firemeL of East Woodlands request for increased
allow'ance.
"Following the request of the South \~est Pickering volunteer fire
brigaile for ircreased wages I have made the following inquiries.
1.
From Mr. Dave IJowe of the Fire }[arshall' s Office I learr:ed that the
request of our volunteers is neither ur.reasonable or out of line with
other fire departments. He did suggest however, that the ideal system
of remur.erating volunteer firemen was 01, a point or merit system.
?
.... .
I discussed the complete situation with the township fire chief ~w. Don
Lynde and he corroboratèd Hr. Lowe's feelings in regard tê' ,vages.
However it was Mr. Lynde's sentiments that there should be a sliding
wage scale in relation to the man's responsibility and experience.
I thought it might be interesting to council members to know the
monetary costs we are considering this evening if the request of the
volunteers is approved by this council.
The fire dept.'s financial year as far as wages is concerned ends
Nov. 30 so we have the current figures to work with. Under the present
pay scale the township will pay this year $2596.75 to the volunteers,
or an average of 23,00 per fire.
Under the pial'! now under discussion we would

I would like at this time to recommend at this time that next year's
fire committee meet regularly with the various fire depts. so that
if future requests come forward from the volunteers the fire committee
will be ir a better position to 1eal first hand with the situation and
there would be no need for hasty or urwise de~isions."
