airing complaints or presenting plans for new de velopments within the town Several of these private requested relief from the flooding of their basements with each heavy storm No doubt if all the local residents were pres ent who had endured similar trials these past few weeks the council chambers would have been crowded But in some areas of the town the situation is much worse than in others The sanitary sewers back up into the basements because storm sewers are being drained them and cause overflowing with each heavy downpour of rain One bylaw received its first and second reading which will eliminate the difficulties in two sections of town Andrew St and the Timothy John Sts area The bylaw calls for the con struction of a storm sewer from Andrew St to the Holland River for

per- of a town tender for trucks 1 fonnance tenders require a de- was made to Newmarket coun cil on June fl by Howard Morton who described it as discrimina tory and an affront to the busi ness men of the community Hie tender required the firms tend ering to deposit five per cent of the tender price as evidence of their good faith Mr Morton told council Mr Morton said that he had tendered with the Ontario Pro vincial police the Toronto and York commission York County the Bell Telephone Co and other organizations In all of these we were never asked for a deposit he said None of us are he charged Our tax bills are enormous you people meet our taxes go up We cant air condition our own offices but apparently we can afford to air condition the town hall for the magistrates court It has been suggested that In creased rentals from the build will pay for it but I suggest that the rent would have to be souls posit so that If the party tender ing fails to do the work and the town is put to some it will cover that he said I cant accept that explana tion replied Mr Morton I have tendered with the town and with many other groups and in no case can you show mc where the tendering on equip ment must make a deposit I dont like the inference that the car dealers of this town might be playing games that we might be sending in silly tenders and the town must be protected If the town is going to establish this as a practice for everyone thats fine But if it is just for the car dealers I resent it he argued Councillor Gladstone commented that it was encour aging to see that- although some members of council had voted against the policy of call ing for tenders they were us ing them- He suggested that might be good for their FORMER REEVE OF HAS JAIL SENTENCE Leslie of Sutton a

Arrangement Calls For No Connections With Other Papers raised by more than 125 a month to do this Last year a pieca of equipment was purchased by the town without a tender being called Now at long last you are getting around to calling for tenders and require that we pay five percent of the tender price I never heard of such a thing added Mr Morton Councillor Alex Hands ex plained that extensive research had been done prior to the pur chasing of the machine in He said there only one dealer handling that type of equipment and that it bad been considered superior to others in spected so that tenders could not be called when they wanted thai particular type of machine- Is strange Indeed on one side making expenditures with out tendering commented Councillor Ale and on the other when we do we go whole hog The solicitor suggested that it the usual practice In will have to be good for Mr soul replied Mr Hands because we have al ways tendered for vehicles Reeve Edward said that he had not heard he- fore about the five per cent de posit being required and that the firm with which he is employed had not entered a tender He suggested that if the trucks not be satisfactorily ser viced where they were purchas ed they might be taken to Brad Walkers I suggest they will go there as usual retorted Mr Morton Lets face it am getting sick of paying taxes in Newmarket having the
