all members were present but two and further that a reasonable
solution hadbeen arrived at in this matter and requested the

that it had·been decided to put a :tpump on the new well and pump
into the mains directly. The Town Engineer further stated he
was to look at the job to-morrow morning and following this would
ask Council to authorize the appropriate expenditures. 'Mayor
'Mur:flay inquired how much money is he talking about to place this
well into the 1 system and the Town Engineer replied approximately
$10,000. Reeve Davis stated that we are not in a position to
talk cost until the pump has been seen and this is only a rough
estimate. Reeve Davis further stated that a further meeting is
required to finalize this matter.

Councillor Child stated that on the previous Friday he had received
a call lilrom 'Mayor 'Murray inquiring ifhe had seen Mr. Stulberg
from Consolidated Building Corporation and then subsequently heard
that Mr. Stulberg had picked up this permit and felt that something
was amiss with the system since this permit had not been signed by
the Permit Committee and yet they had come to the clerk's office
and had got a temporary permit. CounciHor Child stated that the
clerk was to fault and something was definately wrong with the system
of handing e>ut permits and further since this has already been issued
Councillor ehild felt he did not know what right we have to draw
this permit back. 'Mayor Murray stated.that he did not·know how this
had happened and that Consoll:idated Building Corporation had paid
for this permit in the month of April 1960 and that any time during
this period the permit could have been picked up. Mayor Murray
stated a peculiar thing that the Permit Committee had not signed it
and how di~ it get to the Planning Board. Ce>uncillor Child stated
that it did not go to the Planning Board was only mentioned that the
·Planning Board required to okay the land deal. Councillor Child

office be instructed that no permits be issued unless the Permit
Committee sign same and further that the Clerk ascertain that all

j
Council then went into a Committee of the Whole and Mayor Murray

this matter.and obtain an active solicitor and bring this
recommendation into Council. Reeve Davis stated that with the
letter of Mr. Sobara on hrubl we should have a temporary solicitor
to advise w:t:th regards to the Petlovany Land Deal., Mayor Murray

NEW BUSINESS
. ''~'"''
·Mayor Murray brought forward the letter from the To~ship of Whitchurch
concerning the location of a Canadian Tire Store and. a Bowling alley
in .their municipality south of Aurora. Councillor Child stated that
it was his understanding that it is necessary to come up with an
answer by September 3rd, 1960. Councillor Child stated he was not
at a meeting held with the Township of Whitchurch however understood
the~e was a bit of hesitancy by this Council to raise the ire of
Whitchurch Township regarding a garbage dumping problem that
existed. Councillor Child stated that the assessment of 2
\
16TH. REGULAR - 9 -
August 15th. 1960
stqres pmrpesewould be approximate between $8000 and $12,000
-dollars per year in taxes. Councillor Child stated it is logical
to me that both Aurora and Whitchurch would come out on top and
since they must obtain the services from the Town of Aurora a saw
off should be possible and feel that the split should be reach
· amicablely. Councillor Child stated that there is also the
hope that other Industries may wish to settle here and then
annexation may be possible at this time and further that strip
developement in this area is not wanted and this would nip
such in its bud. Councillor Child stated that he felt a meeting
should be arranged with Whitchurch Township and discuss a m&KiiKg
method of split in assessment. Reeve Davis inquired as to how
they had arrived at these tax figures and Councillor Child stated
ltle did·not know but felt that they might be on the high side.
Councillor Stoddart inquired if their was any possi'Bl],.e frontage
on Yonge St. in Aurora and Councillor Child answered that Mr. ease
had come in with this proposal anf felt that Whitchurch tax rate
mi§ht be lower~~:.then Auroras. Mayor Murray inquired if we.are
going to help increase assessment 'kllxilill out side our Town and
Councillor Child stated that we cannot force people.· to locate
inTown if they desire not to. Reeve Davis stated-that the
Canadian-Tire Corporation have been looking around the Town
of Aurora the past few years and they must locate ,at the south
end .. of Town. Deputy Reeve Patrick felt if the area stays
in \Vhitchurch and develops and new industry comes in to this
location what will we sacrifice. to obtain annexation at this
time. Deputy Reeve. Patrick sta_ted that if we let the area
develop we will pay a very large fee for annexation: Councillor
Stoddart inquired if the Loblaws Shopping Centre contemplated
building a bowling alley since this might change their plans.
Councillor Bell inquired if we could go to a meeting with the
thought in .mind that the split be only a certain limited time
basis provided that should another industry locate then annexation
BBH must be affected. Mayor Murray stated he would prefer to see
Industry in this area since it helps our school tax and did not feel
that we sho.uld go to a meeting with the To'wnship of Whitchurch
wntil we have a C01Illl,liti;l!le meeting Jti: .first to ascertain our stand in
this matter. Councillor Hammond inquired if prior to this
meeting it would be possible through the Planning Commilhtee
to find out the plans of Loblaws shopping Centre regarding
a building of a bowling alley. · Mayor Murray advised he will
find out from Toronto Industrial Leaseholds and bring :this
findings to' the Committee meeting. ·
The matter_ of the Fire Ch,ief attending the convention in
Calagary and increas.ing the travelling allowance from $150.
to $300. was brought forward.
PATRICK:
HAMMOND:
"That the Fire Chief's Allowance for
attending the convention be increased
from $150. to $300.00
\ ,.""'
16TH REGULAR -10-August 24th. 1960
Councillor Child stated that he felt the $150. was sufficient to
attend a convention in Ontario but beyond Ontario boundaries
the participant find the additional amount •. Reeve Davis stated
that both the police and fire Ghief were allowed $150. each to
be used for convention expenses. Councillor Corbett felt if
they are going to a convention they they should be allowed in
Ontario only or else at their own expense. CuUncillor Hammond
stated hewould stand by the motion .and if the main purpose in
conventions is to be the benefit of o.thers knowledge and ideas
then fullest information is derived from attending such a
convention and further.that they should not be resi:tricted
to one small area. Councillor Hammond stated that the technical
aspect of knowledge goes far.outside of Canada and to get the
main advantage shouldbe internatio.nal, however, Councillor Hammond
·pointed out that the budget for the year 1960 must be considered.
Councillor Bell stated he would suppo.rt the motion and that other
municipalities send their fire chiefs to. fire conventio.ns.
Councillor Child reflected that any report receive.d from any
member attending conventions were only verbal·and no recommendations
had come out of a convention to his knowledge and felt that if
we are going·to increase this fee $150. we should obtain a
complete report. C.ouncillor Child stated that invaribly all
associatio.ns print what takes place at these conventions and it is
a matter of reading and studying same. Councillor Child
:further stated that if·we set $150. at first of year and then
find it impossible to. contribute to.the retarded children's
building then we should feel along these lines inthis
instance. Deputy Reeve Patrick stated that the knowledge
gathered at conventions is indeed marvelous and that the meetings
~take place during the full day and many items of value are
obtained.
The vote on the motion was then taken and the motion was
defeated. ·
The letter from Mr. Sobara, General Manager, Aurora Heights Limited
regarding the relaase of permits and the finalization of the
Petlovany land and other deals was brought forward.
Councillor Hammond stated that theY are requesting release
unequvocally of permitts previously applied for and feel that
no permits should be released until we have assurance that the
petlo.vany property deal has been signed and sealed. Councillor
Child stated he was 100 percent with Councillor Hammond and even
if we do receive the conclusion o.f the Petlovany deal and approval
by our solicitor then only release the number of lots covered by that
agreement. Councillor Child stated that the letter infers the
release o.f some 130 lots in all. Councillor Stoddard stated that
when the petlovany transaction closed th.en carry out provision of
the agreement in acco.rdence therewith.
16TH. REGULAR -11 -August 16th. 1960
CounciLlor Davidson stated that Mr. Sobara had said when the
c_!etlovany land deal was finalized he wanted the release
of 79 lots.
Councillor Davidson stated we had released 120 lots out of
172 and held 50 lots back until the assessment has been equalized
on the whole subdivision an!l now it· would appear that this
has been changed. Mayor Murray ~tated that noting has been
changed and. we still go by original agreement. Councillor Child
stated that if the Pet&pvany deal is closed then 52 houses
might be released. Councillor Davidson felt that the 52 houses
were still to be held. Mayor Murray stated that he did not
thingthis was so. Councillor Davidson repeated that the 52
houses were to be held until the whole subdivision had been
'--equalized from an assessment standpoint.
Mayor Murray stated he had investigated concerning the addition
to the post office building and found that tenders were called
for the last day of this month and felt now that house to.· house
delivery by Christmas time is now out of the pic~e. Mayor
Murray stated he felt we as Council should go after the
authorities now to obtain. delivery by Christmas and ascertain
if postal department might rent space in town and go ahead
with delivery by Christmas. Councillo:r Child stated that
the bu~get appropriation for 1960 by post office department
might ~ffect the start of this addition to the building this
year. g&:u&:D:ia:rxiiax
BELL:

Carried.
Mayor Murray brought to Councils attention that he had received
many complaints regarding rusty water and felt that the Water
¢ommittee should make a study of this problem • ·
Councillor Hammond brought forward the matter of occupancies
certificate• issued by the Engineer and a copy of which go
to each department and upon Mayor Murray's inquiry stated·
that he felt there was about 24 houses ready for occupanc~e
at the end of July and felt that the asessment on these houses
had not been completed at this time. General discussion
followed in this matter and it was decided that the assessor
should give a written report of assessment at the present
time on homes in the Sunnybrook Subdivision.
Councillor Hammo.nd brought forward the matter regarding lot
114 in Regency Acres Subdivision and stated he understood from
two residents neighbouring this lot that a different type of
building is being erected from that originally intended and
the Town Building Inspector had informed these two residents
that his ruling had been overruled by Council.
.,
1i5TH. REGULAR :..12 -August 15th. 1960
Councillor Child-stated that lot 114 had never been built
upon in the original plans of Consolidated Building Corporation
and accord in®; to the original plot· plan a_ certain type was to -
be placed on this lot and now Consolidated Building Corporation
have decided to·put a different type of house on this particular
lot and this_ might be a 2 story house. Councillor Hammond inquired
that this matter had been brought in because the Building Inspector'
had said that Council overruled his ruling regarding the type
of building to go on this lot. Councillor Ghild advised that
Council did not overrule the Building Inspector however the
Building Inspector might interpret it this way since the permit
issued for the 2 story building on this lot. Counc illor Hammond
inquired if we had now renegged onoriginal plan and can they K8
get a permit to put onany type of a house. Councillor Child
explained that the change in the architects findings occured from
a tour of European architects that had stated Canadian subdivisions
need something to break the monotony of the same kaK8 type of
housing there~ore the lots now built upon in the original plan
Consolidated Building Corporation decided to put up 2 storyhouses
to break this mo:notony. Councillor Hammond inquired then if we
have approved this type of change in house plans. Reeve Davis
stated if a change in plan then the change should come to Council.
Councillor Child that the only change was from single to· two
storey and this to break the monotony of strawberry box type of
house. Councillor Hammond stated we are face with 2 residents
who brought property assuming next door· a house wiU be builli
