Mr. Campbell, of Bell, Gouinlock & Co. Ltd., appeared and explained the necessity for the re-issue of certain debentures sold by them for the Township. He explained that the United States Interest Equalization Tax made the $371,000.00 issue unacceptable to his client, in view of the fact that this issue was dated May 1 and was sold some 100 d~s later, thus exceeding the 90 day limit allowed for new debentules prior to the charging of this 12 1/2% tax. ~ 3 .. Mr. Campbell requested that the Township amend their by-laws to change the effective date of these debentures to July 2. He also stated that his firm would assume the cost of reprinting the debentures. See By-Laws Numbers 2909 and 2910. Considerable discussion took place regarding the ALGAE problem in Lake Ontario, which was brought to the attent~on of Council by the Bay Ridges Ratepayers' Association. AGREED that the Clerk prepare a resolution to be circulated to all municipalities bordering Lake Ontario drawing to the attention of the Federal and Provincial Governments the serious implications of this problem and stressing the importance of removing the cause, as well as controlling the existing problem. Further. that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Affairs Conference being held this month. See Resolution No. 243/64. Councillor Newman spoke in connection with the outside Union Agreement whereby the sewage operators did not get the increase agreed upon. It was decided that this and any related problems would be resolved at the Committee meeting of August 17. He also drew to the attention of Council the dust conditions of the road in front of Mr. Frank Webb's market garden near the Fifth Concession and the Westney side road. He mentioned that in 1962 and 1963 the Township had treated the road, but in 1964 had requested Mr. Webb to pay for any calcium which was laid. This he had done, but at present the dust conditions were as bad as ever. and threatening his crop. This, apparently is the result of the Township grading the road and disturbing the calcium on several occasions after rain storms. He would like the Township to take immediate action to resolve the situation and wonders whether Township should pay for previous calcium treatment. since they have in previous years. Deputy Reeve Mrs. J. McPherson AGREED to look into the problem. RESOLUTION NUMBER 225/6~ MOVED by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Waring, that Mr. R. R.
