_Mayor Murray presented a report to Council and stated that we
have reached the half way mark of Council for .the year 1960 and
he did not 'Vish a debate on the remarks to be made this evening
but next month would like a discussion on these points. Mayor
Murray stated that we are·proud of ihe gread strid~s we have
taken in the Town of Aurora and would place emphasl on ou:r equalized
assessment. Mayor Murray stated that our assessment was not as
much as wish but we have surpassed other Towns in York County
and futther that our equalized assessment theory is gone since
all the assessment we have a~quired has been distributed out
to County levies, Cou17-ty roads, District High Schoihl and now
hospitalE;. Mayor Murray stated that the present day method of
equalizes assessment by County Council is some form. of socializm.

Mayor Murray then brought to Councils attention that he had attended
the Aurora Horse Show and that it was the best show we have had,
Mayor Murray stated we in·Aurora are called the Chicken capital
of Canada and felt we could also we called the h<;>rse show.capital of
Canada, Mayor Murray stated we may require a new park large enough
:for all other events and large enough :for a larger Agriculatural
show,
Mayor Murray stated much revenue is needed in the :future and recommend
that C.ouncil do all we can to enable the subdivisions to complete
all their houses so we will be in a position to collect taxes,
1'11ayor Murray in the Chair.
Reeve Davis stated that the Mayor had spent considerable time on
This report and he would like to discuss these points but since the
Mayor had requested that discussion be postponed at,this time he
would hold his questions :for a :future date, Councillor Chil.d .
comm.ended the Mayor on his report and :felt that each member of Council
should consider this report and sendresolutions to other municipalitlies
in the County, Councillor Child stated we need taxes :from houses
but we pay out more :for school costs and it could easily mean
another school.
Reeve Davis brought forward the letter from the Aurora Heights ·
Solici.tors regarding the Petihovany land and suggested it be referred
to Planning Committee. De'puty R.eeve Patrick stated in conjunct:i.on
with this letter that Councillor Child, CouncHlor Stoddart, the
Tovvn Engineer and himself had interviewed a,n Industry from the
United States and :felt that the implication now is that the costs
are too high. Councillor Stoddart stated that, the firm we had
talked to are not interest,ed in land at this cost.
CouncHlor Child felt that Aurora Heights Limited now find they are
tied up in an air tight Agreement and now they are using excuses to
prevent the purchase of this land. CouncUlor Chi,ld stated he would
li.ke to have an Comrqi ttee meeting and f.urther this matter and stated
that no more buildin11' nerm:Jt0 hp issued to lVIr, Sobara until

NEW BUSINESS
Councillor Hammond brought to Councils attention the mat;ter of
Royal Road and stated he understood further to discussi.on with
Mr. Cousj_n that he is p;repared to lower the grade in the road and
will require authorization from the Town Engineer. Councillor
Hammond stated lVJr, Cousins now believes he has a stop work order
on one manhole. Councillor Child stat'ed he had received a call
from Mr, Cou8ins ~his day and the inference he had received was
that a stop work order applied to the whole :eoad. Councillor Child
stated that the hole had been filled in and don't think the Town·
engineer would.be out 6 :feet as the inference he had :received this
day. Councillor Child, stated that the Town Engine.er was only acting
on a by-law with regard to shoring sewers and possibly Town Engineer
was brusk at ordering the men out because of the possible cave in.
-.
12TH. RE<tfJLA11 -12 -June 20th, 1960
Councillor Hammond stated that we should have an understanding
between Mr. Cousins and the Town Engineer and feel we should do
it· now. Councillor Cjj_j.ld stated that IVJr, Cousins said the Town
Engineer had made a remal!'k he took exception to and wants an apology
or the street. won't get done and further that Mr. Cousins would not
mention what. the complaint was,
·'
'IVJayor Murr.ay stated that this matter will be handled in a Committee
meeting. Reeve Davis he had asked previously if the manhole was
going to take the grade because if too high would create a hardship
to people on the north side of the road, Town Engineer stated he
would prefer-not to answer questions on this matter at this time,
Councillor Hammond stated once again we are stopped from ma.king a
•4.ecision and. felt we should. get the facts now and if the grade is
wrong then someone has erred and people are · suffering as a result
and further that the situation must be solved now, Councillor Child
stated that IVJr. Cousins had stated he was .. proud of Rowal ~a. d and
considered paving or paiJ'tly paying :for the paving and he §]_)had
advised him to place the roads in the condi.tj_on as the subdivision
8.greement required :first. Deputy Reeve Patrick :felt the same
situation applies though out the Town and that the building permit .•
and Town engineer depa.rtment should work as oneon these matters and ··
:f:'urther that the grade should be put on the permit when it comes in,
!touncillor Child stated that we wi,ll have all levels when the Town
is in possession of the Topographical IVJaps and further that at the
present time we just get surveyors marks, Councillor Child stated
he :felt the builders built the houses thinking the roads were in
finished condition and that we should do something quickly to
alleveate the condition, Counci11or Hammond inquired if the Tovvn
·engineer could clarj.:fy the existing grade with respect to the manhole
and Town Engineer IVJr, Murray stated that it is possible to take
out 3 course of l:J.ri.ck to lower the grade, Town Engineer Mr. Murray
inquired j_f ditches or saucer type ditches should be constructed
on Royal Rmad. Councillor Child stated that he felt the saucer
type of di· tch should be the first step since it is easier to curb
8.nd. gutter later. Reeve Davis st-ated he fe1 t the saucer type di tcb
was much easier to maintain. Town Engine~er Mr. Murray stated he
wpuld recommend deepe-r ditches. M r. A. J, Blilsby appeared before
Council and felt that the 1owe,ring of the Manhole and taking the
road down would complete the whole matter satisfactorly. Mr. Bolsby
stated that it doesn't seem logical that 2 builders godd take the
same levels and understood that· the manholes were ta.'k:en as the final
h~il?ht ?ut now rais~d hig;her a.nd should do something to avoid . . ~
