MOVED by Mr. Newman, seconded by Mr. Waring, that Mr. Van Houten of the School Area No. 2 School Board be heard. CARRIED Mr. Van Houten in presenting the 1965 school budget drew attention to the fact that the Board would be responsible for educating some 4350 pupils by September, 1965. This will necessitate the construct-- ion of a new 12 room school on the west side of Frenchman's Bay. He mentioned that in order to maintain a high calibre of teacher it was necessary to pay salaries comparable to those paid in Metro. This accounted then for a large portion of the budget. The Chairman thanked Mr. Van Houten and his Board for taking the time to appear before Council and present their budget. 3. Mr.~. Broomhead of 391 Rosebank Road South appearedbefore Council and asked that the Township correct the drainage ditches adjacent to his property to alleviate the flooding that had occurred. Mr. Poulsson advised Council -that the Township had purchased a lot next to Mr. Broomhead last winter and intended to construct a ditch through it in the spring which would correct the situation. Mrs. McPherson in speaking on the problem suggested that the Road Committee would view the site and determine whether the drainage that had occurred was the result of an enlarged road culvert or the effects of a natural water course. 4. Mr. Oliver Lloyd of Oliver Lloyd Associates appeared and outlined various aspects -vf the water report prepared by his firm. He mentioned that in pr~paring the report they had considered the Official Plan and based on the projected population the extent of their studies would be fully realized by 1935 with an anticipated population of 123,000. The main point of his address stemmed from the provision of a 3 million gallon reservoir in the Rosebank area, the elevation of which allowed the servicing of the entire water area from the one storage point. Advantages of such a system mentioned were: Provide reserve of water - water plant is only reserve at presen~. Rouge Valley Filtration Gallery - eliminate high operating cost. þ Supplement to treatment plant - reduced size of watermains - two sources of supply. Provides enlarged facilities for anticipated population growth. Provide constant supply of water for industry. 2 Mr. Lloyd stated that no waste expenditure was anticipated as the main size was designed so as to handle the ultimate requirements ,S well as present ones. With the possibility of obtaining water from Metro Toronto in the future the reservoir would be locat~d in a position close to both the Sherman Scott plant and the e'Jist- ing mains of Metro. He stressed the importance of proceeding with phase one as soon as possible, mentioning the calamity that wçuld ~esult should the Scott plant ever be shut down because of mechanical failure. Mr. Lloyd stated that phase two would not have to be started until there were sufficient consumers to cçver the cost, although the expansion could not be put off too long. He indicated a willingness to attend any future meetings should Council desire to discuss the study further. 5. Mr. Poulsson briefly discussed his report on half loads in relation to the High School in Pickering.
