to repair the Holland Marsh drainage ditches numbers 1 3 and by King township council on Mon day Feb o The contract calls for lincnl feet at cents per foot to excavate spread and clean up the award or inner ditches To hasten matters after coun cil accepted tho contract Victor township engineer telephoned Mr to request that he have the work done in six weeks time Altogether five tenders were received tho highest being and the next lowest to Mr being cents a foot business They receive cents a mile he told council It seems a large amount to spent on salaries and administra tion costs added Reeve Edward of Newmarket When you add car expenses ad ministration costs for York Cot tage and the office to the salaries it comes to with the balance of the budget being for the children he said William Hodgson of King township asked what the qualifications for a social work er were and whether it was ne cessary to have graduates at schools of social work for all the positions listed Mr ex plained that it required five years of university fur a Bachelor of Social Work degree and an ad ditional year for a Masters de gree He said that if untrained personnel were used in the emo tional situations encountered in the work that great harm could result problems in water supply and waste disposal as our suburban neighbors have been in recent years Dr King said that the septic tank was basically intended for isolated individual premises and not for urban development He said that most York County mun icipalities are still in a position to forestall the situations which developed in many metropolitan communities as a result of tin- planned arid undirected develop ment There have been hints that the province plans some action in the form of a coordinating board to facilitate mutual assistance where such problems are con cerned However the problems are immediate and we might reasonably ask for and expect immediate attention to them added The provinces action will cor rect the situation several years from now Dr King said after the meeting But councils should bring every pressure to bear for immediate action Tell ing a municipality that it cant afford to install a sewerage tern does nothing to solve problem If their debenture debt is too great for the community to assume the additional burden there will have to be financial assistance given he explained MRS ADAMS MARKS BIRTHDAY Mrs Edmund Adams of New market celebrated her birthday on Saturday Feb at the homo of tier granddaughter Mrs William with whom she makes her home A family parly was held Mrs Adams received gifts of flowers fruit cards and other remembrances from friends and relatives Many of her grand children and neighbors were among those who called on her helping Mrs Adams to enjoy her

Business and Pro- Womens club has been set for Wednesday March There will be a showing of spring fashions in the afternoon and evening Mrs C voort is general convenor Decide All Should Pay Charges For Admissions To County Park Everyone using York County park on weekend and holidays during the summer months will pay an admission charge this year County council decided at Its session on Feb Hie recom mendation was made by Reeve Longford Pegg chairman of the Special Parks committee year ratepayers in the county received passes to the park They will be discon tinued and everyone will pay cents for each car for a truck and for each bus entering the park on weekends or holidays The York County Police com mission has been dissolved by the Lieutenant Governor upon the request of the warden and commissioners The action was necessary before county could enter Into agreement with Newmarket for the trans porting of prisoners This duty others perform by the County police force prior to Its being disbanded In have been assumed by the Newmarket force agreement Is for a oneyear per iod The county will reimburse the town in full for the work Mr explained that improvements are plan ned for the park and Parks committee considered that it should ask those who use it to pay for them rather than ask for the annual budget from the county of 10000 to be raised Among the improvements which are estimated to cost more than are the exten sion of the dock another 100 feet at the swimming beach the building more picnic tables and a picnic pavilion the en of the refreshment booth and the extension of sanitary facilities Its not fair replied Reeve Roy Pollock of North who disagreed with the plan The ratepayers of the county are being penalized They will be paying twice If an ad mission charge is made The county pays the maintenance cost of the park now he added The county is playing Santa Clnus to a tew when it gives passes answered Victor Jones of Aurora If more money is needed for im provements let it come from those who will use the park and not the general taxpayers he argued V J Former Warden Corner Appointed Georgina Clerk Ralph Corner who was war den of York County in
