D. ,Edwards protested the machinery 'value of $859.50.00 as being too high. He admitted that the ,.'figure declared by him was prepared by the Universal Appraisal Co. and the application of the Assessment Dept. multiplier and depreciation, allowance appeared -to be corr6ctly applied and the residual figure wassL-ill'in excess of'tY6ir purchase ,price. The local assessors had been and still were of the opinion that due to the age of t4e machinery --and the fact that most.of it was now obsolete the depreciation factor shown be.revised. Both Financial statements and Fire insurance appraisals were produced and reduction was allowed. from $'85950.00 to $59930 machinery value only. The reduced figure was still in excess of Fire Insurance value and also that recorded in the Company's Financial statement. However, Mr. Edwards on behalf of his Company would accept the reduced figure for 1955 without protest: He felt that the . machinery had -been overvalued by his appraisal Co. and did not blame the.,local Assessors. Roll 1961/2 . z Port *'Haney Brick -Co. represented by 'Mr. 'J: Hatkiss who stated that the total land, Imp. and machinery recorded by the Assessors as $189170 i4a.s greatly in excess of 60% of their total capitalization., He felt the machinery value, was fair'and was not, -prepared to debate the value of the ' land.. a-s that was their raw product .,for making brick and tile. However, he felt that the building and plant value recorded as $146,300 was excessive. The Company's. capital ,investment figures were produced, also the total Insurance appraisal was submitted to the Court. Mr.,Hawkins who had assessed the building and plan 4`years ago gave the detail of the appraisal at that time and the factor applied for 1955. Mr. Hadgkiss felt that the assessment was M— r.and reason- able at' that. time but the application of the multiplier'on the original assessment was out of line as considerable of the original buildings were now not in use and should record no more than a scrap value as they -were not part of the production unit._ This was satisfactory to the Board and supported the evidence submitted. Imp, value was., ordered to be reduced'to $1.17,300.0C.` Although the reduced value was still in excess of 60% of total value Mr. Hadgkiss accepted the reduction without further protest for the ,year 1955 being no other.complainants present, the order of the listings no heard.

Mrs. Leif and Mrs. Crockett representing Whonock Memorial Hall were present and requested a' grant or aduitional aid to take care of capital expense in major repair projects necessary to the building. It appeared that the roof had to be completely reshingled aria a complete new chimney installed. Their expenditures wire in the neighbourhood of s,,350. The reeve explained that this would establish a precedence and he felt that the. result would be all the other Com,.:uni ty Halls would follow tiith the same request. However he promised the delegation that their request would be considered when compiling the 141unici pal budget. Bandmaster Fraser of the newly established Junior. Band of Maple Rihdge addressed the Council stating that the members of his Junior band from the ages of 8 to 11 years of age that the' majority of them with the assistance of their parents had provided their own instruments so far. His endeavor to -night i,ras to prevail uppn the Council to assist him in financing the purchase of the drums and bass instruments. These he explained were norusually purchased by the members but owned by the Band Association as it could be readily seen they were no -,a very desirable or musical instrument to practice in.the home. Council felt that these explanations were worthy and also his endeavor as an Association was worthy, the following.- motion was approved: Moved'by Coun. Wood and Simmonds: That the same grant of �150.001(for the former Maple Ridge band to be diverted to the Maple Ridge Junior Band. CA13R IED Mr. W. E. Anderson presented a subdivision plan of the United Church properly on the -corner of 6th and Trunk Pioad and also the remainder belonging to Mr. Setter. This was tentatively approved subject ofcourse to the surveyor's plans being presented to comply with the sketch left on file. Mr. Anderson also brought up the matter of Lots 15 & 16 on the west side of 7th Ave. between Selkirk and Menzies Street and particularly referred to the ravine tilat crossed these lots whichwould have to be filled. He felt that the Council should give some assistance in this matter. A discussion on the matter was delayed until Council and Foreman had inspected the property and investigated their responsibility in the matter. fAr. I4TcNutt offered the Council his equipment (Trucks and bull- dozer's) at a very much reduced rate for the next three or four months if the Council could find work for them. He particularly instanced the Jebster. s Corners Bridge fill which the Reeve explained to him was to be delayed for 2 or 3 years. He was informed at' the present time there appeared to be nothing of major importance on our Works Programme that could take advantage of his offer, but his suggestion would definitely be kept in mind for future reference. Commencing the agenda first letter was a notification of the North -Fraser Valley Municipal Assc�iati on meeting, New Westminster City Hall, at 8:00 p.m., Friday, February 18th. Most Councillors expressed the desire to attend. Letters from the School District No. 4.2 asking for pc-rmission to negotiate a loan vias dealt with the following motion: T,oved by noun.

' The Community Planning Association of Canada's notification of an all day.meeting Friday, March 4th,'was-read but unfortunately our regular monthly meeting was on the same date which the Council regretted. The Council were therefore unable'to attend the Planning Board"Meeting. Maple Ridge Town Planning C'o.mmission had written to' sa.y that the matter referred to them with reference to ,thy .Commercial zoning of the Lougheed Highway lots on the North end of the Carr -Ave. had been considered and rejected as the Commission felt that the area .in question had developed to a high standard'as a residential area due to the protection forwarded by zoning and to relax this protection would not be fair to the neighbourhood. The Council after long discussion fdlt .that Mr.. E. B. Carr who had requested the change to Commercial should convass the immediate area within a 500 ft. radius and present to the Council a list of signatures in favour of such a change. The Council would then reconsider the matter. �. The Town Planning Commission also submitted another request that the 'present area now zoned under Bylaw No. O 6"A" be extended to a paint- 200 ft. SMY8th of 22nd Road and in a -westerly direction parallel to the 22nd to a point 200 ft. west of 3rd.Ave. and then south'to River Road.

T-he meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m.. REEVE CLERK Minutes of February-23rd, 19 Full Council met in special •meeting 'Wednesday, February `23rd at 8:00 p.m. ' Maple Ridge Hospital Board headed by Chairman,'Malcolm Brown, outlined to the Council their eagerness to consummate the purchase of the proposed site which was listed in'the Bylaw at,$12,000, Apparently the Government were not prepared 'at this timer to commit themselves to --any financial assistance -or any specified -time when this would b-e available.,. The Chairman had also been advised by"the Mini'stor-of Health that it was necessary --for the Hospital Board -to. purchase -the site and commence the project before any commitment would be made by the Government. This statement was news°to the Council and if corre.et would contravene the intent of the Bylaw which provides funds by>the sale of debentures to purchase a site and'construct'a hospital. if the minister's statement was correct that the Government would not assist in providing a site then they whould not have approved'• the -Bylaw in principle before''going' to the people -as this purchase was specifically'-recarded and v6ted upon by the rate payers.. An hour of discussion ensued and the Reeve asked the delegation to retire.until later. in the evening as the meeting was called to deal°with another matter -which could not be..delayed any longer. Representatives of the Valley Gas Distributors -Ltd . - now entered and introduced themselves to•the Reeve and Council. They stated they -were representative of a number of Valley business men who had incorporated into -a Company for the distribution of gas pipe lines for sale of gas direct to the consumer. This Venture would require a large amount of` ;capital both in preferred and common stock, but at the,----'- moment the' initial *step was to obtain a franchise from 't"re Municipalities involved. The delegation was present to advise.the Council that the'franchise-was being•prepared- for their -consideration and 'they,hoped -that the *Council would approve same and allow °the rate 'payers to °exp'ress their opinion on same.. A number°of°inquiries were made on both sides and the ?natter was -adjourned for further develop- ment upon -presentation -of their -franchise. Their delegation retired and the Hospital representative again returned to the meeting and discussed the immediate purchase of the site. It was evident to all concerned that it was necessary to contact Victoria for clarification on certain bylaw formalities and also to confirm the Governments statement that they would not participate in the purchase °of a site. The Hospital Board -would arrange a`•meet-ing with' -the officials of the three -bodies concerned in the matter. , Letter was,read from the Kinsman Club with reference to the purchase of -certain lands between the Dewdney Trunk Road & Lougheed Highway for a proposed civic recreation area.

Omelk drawing the attention of the Reeve and Council to the erosion on the River frontage of his property which was a very -serious matter and would eventually reach the River Road. Mr. Omelk asked that we continue to dump rock in the hopes that it would save his home from being carried away. All were sympathetic with the case'and instructed the Clerk to notify the writer that the delay had been caused only by the breaking down of the old truck.

The highlights of the report were touched by the speaker who.on behalf of her party advocated public ownership.

The matter was being considered by all Municipalities and at a later date further information would be.to hand. r Mr. E. B.

As this affected the drainage ditch on the Trunk Road which runs into same the foreman was to be notified to investigate the matter. Councillor Wood, Chairman of the Water Board, reported on his visit to White Rock relative to the installation of a reservoir at Trunk and 27th Avenue. He felt that the program was going to cost considerably more than anticipated and thought that we should consider investigating the possibility of bringing the water supply down from 14th Avenue North. He was alarmed•at the increasing annual account for the water provided by the Greater Vancouver Board which for 1954 was in the neighbourhood of $20,000.00, and we could not escape the fact the filling of the anticipated reservoir would materially increase the water account further and it• -;ice well worth considering exploring other channels to provide additional water. He was quite aware of the fact that we were tied up with an agreement with the Greater Vancouver Water Board but at the same time he was of the opinion that due.to the high elefations North of Haney that we should be selling water instead of purchasing same from a far distant point. A long discussion followed and it was resolved that all would meet at 1:00 plm. on Sunday afternoon and visit the North Alouet•te country and review the elevation. Councillor Johnson now brought up the purchase of some very necessary machinery which was authorized in the budget and a committee had reviewed and investigated same and the•following motions were approved: Moved by Coun.

He promised .that the Reeve and Council would again review the location and approach the owner with a view to acquiring the additional width required at the north end. However, the Council felt that it was possible that consideration could be given to the oiling of the road in order to lay the dust. Citizenship Day.was brought to the attention of the Council by a bulletin from the Department of Immigration. -It was _felt this should be turned over to tuch concerned as the Jr. Chamber of Commerce or a representative body of service clubs.

Mr. Van Boyen who had completed the gravelling under the old Bylaw wished support from the Council that he had complied with the requirements at that time. Apparently a dispute had arisen between the owner and the contractor. The opinion was expressed that Mr. Van Boyen should not suffer due to the gravel requirements being increased pursuant to the Amendment Road Subdivision Bylaw. It was noted by Councillor Simmonds that the next Regional Planning Hoard meeting was to beheld in New Westminster, May 5th. Reeve brought up the matter of the request of Mr. S. Mussallem to black -top his private driveway at his expense during our hard surfacing.programme.

The motive of course was the Columbia Bitulithic mxxkgxxxjC gravel crusher being established there they could take advan-gage of the lower price quoted by the Company if our gravel could be used. It was proposed.that the amount per yard be set in the neighbourhood of 10¢. Clerk was to inform the Road Foreman to remove the tree at the lane off 7th Ave. between Dr. Morse and Mrs McLoughlin's. And also the foreman to gravel the ungravelled portions of the lane. The matter of the wooden sidewalk between 8th & 9th, also the open ditch was discussed.

Council were aware that permission had been given by the owner to.remove these obstructions. In the meantime the Council would give.serious consideration to an application of.oil to be spread in order to lay the dust. Also the delegation was promised everything would be done to divert the Municipal trucks from the use of that road. The delegation retired in the hope of being included in next year's programme for ,hand surfacing. A Mr. Laser who is an old age pensioner beseeched the Council for a contribution towards a new water connection.

They were now prepared to debate the proposed agreement item by item. The Reeve requested a shor recess for the Councillors who retired to discuss the matter between themselves.

The delegation appeared to be in favour of the commercialization which was necessary in a growing community.

Mr. Featherstonhaugh was in attendance and reported that the building inspector had visited his property on 20th road and had condemned the use of the dwelling until necessary toilet facilities were installed. Mr. Featherstonhaugh requested a period of time in order,to allow him to do this work as it necessitated the building of an addition to the house before the plumbing could be installed. He asked for a period of 2 months. After considerable discussion as to why the job could not be done sooner, the Council approved his request. Mr- Walter Hest and partner approached the Council with reference to the installation of water lines in his new subdivision, corner of 6th and 20th Road. They felt that a 2" line into the subdivision would adequately serve the lots. On examination of the plans and the area it was found that there was a possibility that the new roads could not be extended due to very deep ravines. Mr. Edge, the surveyor, was also present and he also confirmed the thought that this subdivision could hot be extended any_ further. It was agreed that Mr. Best and his partner would share the cost of extending the 4" fine on 20th road on a 25jo Municipal share and 75% owners share, and that a 2" line could be carried from there into the Best subdivision as a 100% charge to the owners. Work to be done by Corporation. The Clerk was to submit the costs to the owners for a deposit sufficient to cover same with the Corporation before work was commenced. Mr.. L.S.

CARRIED The Reeve reported that he had been approached by representatives of the Peace Counsel who asked for permission to use a car with a loud speaker installed on June the 4th. Considerable debate followed and as permission had been given to previous community bodies, it was felt thyt the Reeve could inform the Peace Counsel that their request would be granted providing they did not create a public nuisance with their speaker and also no propaganda particularly of a political nature. Clerk reported that Fir. 1�icGregor of Trunk Hoad Last had requested that the promised work of clearing up the boulevard fronting his property be commenced without further delay. As the Road Foreman's programme was particularly full at the pfesent time there was no alternative but to leave this work over until after the hard surface work had been completed. Councillor Wood brought up the matter of=the breakage of the water line on 20th Road and recommended thatcast iron pipe approximately 100' long should replace the ola woouen pipe, also a crib should be constructed on the south of the road to safeguard both the road and the water line which at this point crosses a deep ravine. The foreman would investigate the situation. Complaints had been made with reference to equipment being left on the boulevard of Menzies St. West. It was believed to belong to Mr. W. Flinty. Clerk was to x3a inform him to remove same from the road allowance. I 991 Minutes of May 25th, 1955- Continued. Clerk brought up the m4t_ter of a spare stenographer to be employed, particularly to complete the addressograph work. Councillor Dunlop recommended that if the job was to be permanent, applications.to be called for. As this was the usual practice for permanent positions all felt that it was not necessary when the employment may be not of a permanent nature. Reeve reported that he had met Professor Knop and assistants relative to the gravelling of the U.B.C. road which would be of a shareable basis with the Municipality. Approval was given by the Council to make the best possible agreement. The matter was left to his attention. Reeve reported on his return from Ottawa that theBoard of Transport hearing relative to the Natural Gas, a submission by the Iciest coast Co. had carried over for two days and we would be notified later as to the finding. He outlined the salient points but was not in a position to give an opinion of the results at this time. Meeting adjourned 10:55 P.M. ,; P5� REEVE CLERK Minutes of June 3rd, 1955 Present were the Reeve and Councillors Bailey, Dunlop and Johnson. The regular monthly meeting opened with the approval of the prior month's minutes. Idoved by Couu.iqBailey and Dunlop: That the minutes of Play 4th, 6th, llth and 25th as circularized be adopted. CARRIED Old -age pensioner, Leppennen, of Trunk 'load requested the Council's assistance in regard to a water connection. Council decided -to deal with it in the usual manner and left the decision to the Waterworks Committee. Mr. A.A. Staub asked for assistance from the Council in providing culverts on 25th Avel North of 30th Road. He would then gravel the road. He was informed that this would be given but the extension of the road any further than this would have to be dealt with after investigation and inspection. Mr. Staub is located on Legal Subdivision 8, the old Dalrymple place. Delegation headed by E. Zirk of 22nd Road East of 14th Ave. proposed to install a 1211 water line to their properties on the east end of the road from 14th Ave. at their costs with permission from the Council. The waterworks Committee would investigate the matter as we feel that the 12" line would be inadequate, and not tie in with our general water line installation plan. Report would be brought in at the next meeting. Mr. Langston also was present and asked for procedure as far as installing water lines through his subdivision off Dewdney Trunk Road. He also felt that a small diameter line was all that was necessary. Water works Committee would also investigate this road and report back. Mrs. Sproson complained of her property being flooded from the run-off from our road -ditch and that this could be avoided if we continued the ditch to a culvert east of her property. As the Reeve had inspected the situation earlier in the day', he thought that the request was reasonable and ordered this to be taken care of by the foreman and works crew. 292 Minutes of June 3rd, 1955, Continued. Request was made by Mr. Setter, property owner at the corner of 6th Ave. and bewdney Trunk Rd. for 6th Avenue N. to be included in the hard surfacing programme. His complaint was primarily due to the dust hazard which was, to use,his own expression, "beyond endurance." The Reeve explained. that 6th Ave. N. was not in condition for hard surfacing in this year's programme, but at a later date it may be entered under those roads that were proposed to be -oiled. He also complained of an increase of :"$0.00 in taxes. This was explained by the fact that his pro perty was now less than 5 acres and had forfeited the limitdassessment on farm properties. His assessment had now been equalized to agree with all surrounding properties. If he objected to this his recourse was to compllin at the Court of Revision next spring. Correspondence now dealt with a request from Alouette Private Hospital that whiail•.. the Corporation black -topped 32nd Road they include his entrance to the Hospital receiving°door. He was quite willing to pay the full cost of this. Clerk was to reply that the cost would be `6.00 per ton laid. Greater Vancouver and Lower Mainland Labour Counsel advised the Council that on Satur day,.June 8th at 9:OU a.m. at the Labour Temple, 307 W. Broadway, a meeting would be held relative to the B.C. Electric's application to the B.C. Public Utilities Commission with a right to distribute Natural Gas. Representation from all municipalities was solicited. The Reeve requested that this :natter be tabled for the time being in order to contact other municipalities who may decide to send a Committee to represent all instead of individual representation.

CARRIED Mr. MacPherson representing.Lhe B.C. Telephone Co. was present to discuss and explain the submissions presented by the Telephone Co. to the Board of Transport Commissionars.Also present was representation of the Board of Trade, Mrs. V. Cameron, Mr. G. Mowatt and -I4-.N and, who were interested in the matter. Mr. MacPherson answered the questions presented by the Reeve and Council',* and then addressed all present and "explained the procedure of the requirements when making submissions to the Transport'Board at Ottawa. It was not quite clear as to why increase in the rates structure should follow the increase in telephone connections. It was assumed by all that greater volume of business always resulted in greater revenue. Mr. MacPherson -stated that this was not the case in the telephone situation as always when telephone connections developed, a greater service was given to all. Due to the expansion and the principle before the Board of Transport Commissioners that rates were based on actual cost and that greater the extensions, that the tie-up with new exchanges xx that normally would develop gave the original owner of x connection.a greater service and the capital needed to make these expansions had to be derived from the rate structure. As this explanation appeared to be satisfactory to all after a great deal of explanation and cross- questioning, Mr. MacPherson and the delegation retired. Reeve explained to the Board of Trade delegation developments so far in regard"to the Lougheed Highway retaining wall and the fill that would follow immediately. The sidewalk, however, would be delayed until next year in order that the gravel would settl&'. H6'explained that this was agreed by all engineers concerned Both Government and Municipal.

CARRIED Meeting adjourned at 12:20 noon. P/ i �� P r, /p - Reeve Clerk 4d Minutes of June 16th, 1955. Full Council met in special meeting the 16th of June at 8:00 p.m. As there were a number of delegations present on different matters, Mr. Legness who had recently purchased property on Powerline Road was heard first. His request was to have a stump removed on the boulevard in front of his newly purchased property, and was quite willing to carry out the work himself but did not wish to assume the responsi- bility of not damaging the waterline. Council promised him co-operation and would visit the spot and review the situation. Mr. McNutt headed a delegation who felt that the Council should oppose the•monopoly entering the Public Utility field in the t,'raser Valley. He was referring to the distribution and sale of gas, and he requested that support should be given to a new firm that was also endeavouring to get the franchise. The Reeve expla`i.ned that he was the appointed delegate of the Municipalit�u of the Fraser aser Valley and his committee had explakAg-I all. angles of the question which would take hours of time to explain and as there were many other delegations waiting to meet the Council, he felt that this was not the time to do it. However he was to meet the elected representatives of the iraser Valley as a whole on June 24th who will consider -the matter and act collectively. Delegation retired. A lengthy petition was presented by taxpayers of 25th Ave. North from 30th Road. Many of them were present and they were appealing td) the Council for the hard surfacing of both roads. They felt that the dust hazard had arisen to such a'point that it was impossible to five there unless something was done. This was caused by the heavy trucks moving in and out of the new prison site. The Council were very sympathetic.and would approach the Provincial Government with a view to getting assistance immediately. Another delegation from 22nd Road running Fast of 25th Ave. complained of the deploreable state of 2.2nd East. The condition - was such that heavy truckscould not deliver gravel in there till dry weather, however, the foreman would investigate the situation. Mr. Skippen of 15th Road East of' 30th again brought up the matter of continuing the road to his property line. The question involved the granting of land for the extension of 15th Road across the creek. And as 1,1r. (;shworth had already promised to donate a certain width, Mr. Skippen would also consider the matter and notify the Council by letter if he was willing to do the same. Mr. Bruce of Silver Valley Heights asked permission to erect .a. sign at the corner of 8th Ave. and Lougheed Highway. The sign was to be a directional pointer to his property to the north signifying that°a turn was to be made in that direction. The Council felt they �_-ould not commit themselves in this matter as others woulu ask for the same consideration, and road signs are not erected for private purpose. Mr. Lowry who resides at the corneic of 5th Ave. and Lewdney Trunk Rd. informed the Council that this day he had applied for a permit to build a garage and filling station on that spot and that the permit had not been issued until the matter was reviewed by the Council. The Clerk now read a pdation from residents surrounding the corner who were asking for the area to be zoned as residential. As'this opposition to commercializing the corner was now present, it would appear that the decision would rest with the property owners.in the meantime Iir. Lowry's application for a permit would be delayed until the zoning question was settled. Council had no objection tot'vir. Lowry petitioning the area himself.' Mr. iindlay of 25th Ave. North and neighbours were present and asked for a ditch to be installed along the road in order to eleviate the flooding of their land. This was also "referred to the foreman for review. 42)497 Minutes of June 16th, 1955, Continued. Correspondence was now dealt with: B.C. Electric Co., Valley hatural Gas and the Labour -Progressive Party, all had presented written matter on the gas distribution question which had reached all members of the Council and therefore was tabled as read. A letter from the B.C. Farmers Institute complimenting the Council on their stand relative to the increase of the B.C. Telephone rates was read 'anal filed. A road extension on 26th Ave. North of 16th Rd. was azked for by Murray Siddons. The Reeve reported that this was on his list of road extensions which he was to visit in company with the foreman in a few days. He would report on the matter later when further information was available. Laboratory report was read and. filed. A petition was on hand signed by the plumbers of Maple Ridge `S asking that the Council set up a Board of Examination to qualify the competency of plumbers operating in Maple Ridge. Clerk ,was to reply that this was beyond the powers of the Corporation and that our local Plumbing Bylaw takes care of the situation by setting the standard of and the quality of installations in Maple Ridge. And it was the inspectors duty to see that these work requirements were carried out and that inspector's approval or disapproval dealt with the whole situation. In other words the in64allation had to be installed in workman like manner. Another petition was presented from Robert Ruzsell and others, b'orner of 2nd Ave. and 17th road for drainage and continuation of the road from 17th through to Lougheed Highway. Councillors Wood and Dunlop would. bring in a report on the matter with the assistance of the foreman. Councillor vtto•od had received an inquiry from a Mr. Berube from loth Ave. North with reference to extension of water line. As the whole matter of the Yennadon area was taken up at ratepayers meetings for that district, and that we were awaiting further water developments from the north he would be informed, but the matter was still under consideration. .oved by Coun.

CARRIED Clerk reported that Mr. Vogel of 17th Ave. property was subject to tax sale by the Albion water -drainage approximately 2 months before being subject to tax sale by this Corporation. `therefore, in order to simplify matters and protect our interests in the property, the following motion was approved: (',loved by Coun. Bailey and Dunlop: That pursuant to section 313 of the Municipal Act the sum of �:42.70 be paid to the Albion Water Drainage board being the amount of the delinquent taxes and the sum required to redeem the upset price against the Vogel property Minutes of June 16th, 1955, Continued. described Pt. 35 acres S.&E. 210 feet by 210 feet and Sketch 9100 of D.L. 405 Gp.1, Sk.9287 F.

Mr. Lowry was present and presented a petition signed by a number of property owners adjacent to the corner of 5th Ave. and Trunk Road that were in favour of commercializing.the remaining two lots in conjunction with the corner. As those in favour of commercializing exceeded the number on the petition prf,.Dented at the previous meeting who were not in favour, at,d as the corner was not yet zoned., the Council authorized a permit to be issued for the erection of a garage as requested by Mr. Lowry. No other delegations present a letter was read from the. Hammond United Church requesting permission to install a Chimes system in the belfry. Permission was granted without protest.

CAR.:IED Councillor Simmonds brought up the question of a request made by Japanese at Ruskin to erect a memorial in the Vdhonock Cemetery.. Council had no objection and left the matter 'in Councillor aimmonds hands. Councillor Dunlop had received a letter from !�,r. Robert Russell requesting a shallow ditch be installed close to the road, 3' from his property. Councillor Dunlop would visit ir. Russell and investigate his wishes in the matter. The laying of the hard surfacing programme was discussed and the matter was brought up by the Reeve, Councillors Oimmonds and Wood with reference to the extra frontage laid down at the Hammond Hall operated by the Hariirtiond Womens Institute. It was agreed that we should charge for this work at the rate of v"4.28 per ton. This was giving a benefit to the institute at a very much reduced price;and also our services for grading and transportation, total bill would approximate �115.00. This was agreed by all to be a very reasonable price for the work done. The extra work done on 6th Ave. S. adjacent to the Haney Hotel was a matter of sealing the travelled portion of 6th Ave. over to the hard surface over on the Hotel property. This work had also been finished avid the Clerk would bill the Hotel at the rate of �4-50 per -ton. The foreman was first to turn in the total tonage, grader time, etc. Clerk was requested to write to the Public Works Dept. at New Westminster with reference to the oiling of 25th Ave. North• asking for a contribution as the total would be in the neigh- bourhood of '600. The Oiling Programme was now considered and recommendations were made to cover 12th Ave., 6th,j-ive., 20th Rd., 14th Ave. North, Menzies St., 2ird,Ave. N., 16th Ave., portion of 17th Ave., 4th Ave., 12th Rd., Whonock, and 'vVanst.ead St., Hammond. The length as recommended by the foreman for each road was approved and the estimated approximated in the neighbourhood of 5 miles at a cost of $570 per mile. It was felt that when commencing the oiling that 25th Ave. N. portion should be first to receive same. We entered in the Foreman's book that 92 Ave. north of Lougheed Highway to Selkirk St. should receive attention of the grader and gravel when time permits. Clerk was authorized to post water right notices at the Alouette River intake. ,oved by Coun. Wood and Bailey: That "The Gardei.

E. 3. Carr whose -problem was the commercializing of his two lots numbers I & % at the north end of Carr Ave., Lougheed Highway. xs the Council were now ready to submit a Zoning Extension Bylaw to a point 200' west of 3rd Ave. with a provision to commercialize a ribbon each side of Lougheed Highway. Mr. Carr was informed by the Reeve that his request would be decided by the result of the hearing given to the new Zoning Extension Bylaw which would be held at a later date after the advertisements had appeared in the press. Mr. Carr retired. The next speaker was Mr. Moore who complained of the delay im approving his subdivision plan. The plan in question had been presented to the Council by the surveyor, Mr. V. Edge, two or three weeks ago. Council had not approved the plan as the road had not been gravelled or a security deposit made. Mr. Edge took the plan away to inform his client that this was necessary. Mr. Moore had called at the hall demanding approval of his plan. He was informed that this could not be dealt with until it was again presented to the Council and that our requirements as laid down in our Roads -Subdivision Bylaw had been complied with or a security deposit made which would be estimatea by the road foreman. He was not satisfied with this answer and would attend the next Council meeting on June 30th. The Reeve informed Mr. Moore of the procedure required for approval of plans and that the Foreman's estimate was 211.00. A difficult situation followed in attempting to convince him that our requirements were reasonable, but it was quite evident that he was not ready to accept Municipal regulations and that he would estimate the road requirements and not the Foreman. The Reeve explained that the Council must support the r'oreman's estimate of the security deposit necessary which would be returned to Mr. Moore immediately he had completed the road pursuant to Bylaw requirements. Mr. Moore was not satisfied and left the hall. 11 No other delegations present, the June minutes were approved by the following motion: Moved by Coun. Bailey and Dunlop: That the minutes of June 3rd, 16th, & 23rd as circularized be adopted.

Corporal Calvert, the Chairman of the Traffic Committee was also present and supported the idea of a one year trial. Considerable TIx detail of the plan was explained to the Council but it was apparent that all were not in favour, but were willing to accept a majority decision. The matter was tabled to be thoroughly investigated by the Parking Committee who would bring in a report. A delegation headed by -Mr. Lester and Livesey now called on the Council to discuss the Youth Centre building, its repair and future use. The delegation present offered a suggestion that in their opinion the present Youth Building which was situated on the Civic Centre property should not be repaired but should be turned over to a Civic Centre Recreation Committee which was riow`being completed. The membership of the Committee would be from three elected bodies and all Community organizations who would formulate a master recreation building plan for the Civic Centre. The question ;resented to the Council at this time was would the Council forego ar release any ,and all financial interests in the Youth Centre Building and could the Committee which was now before the Council feel that the disposition of the buildin-- was their responsibility for the time being. Reeve and Council informed the delegation that they were willing to release their financial responsibility in l�' 301 Minutes of June 30th, 1955, Continued the matter but doubted v-er y--mudh 'their title to moral -ownership as the building had been moved on to Municipal property and left there and it was quite possible the original subscribers that purchased the building may ask for some form of compensation. if disposed of, and this was a matter that the newly formed Committee would have to,investigate.

He informed I'•ir. Robson that at all times it was the endeavor Of Council to co-operate with the Provincial Departments but felt there should be some legal clarification embodied in the Municipal Act -that legalizes such an exemption.to contractors.

The understanding was that the Government would pay for 5000 yards of rocks at $1.00 per yard. Our truckers were engaged in this work at the present time. Accounts would be submitted in due course. The Reeve reported that Mr. Kirpatrick had roughly 200 yards of broken concrete that he would'also like to dump in the river. It was left with the Reeve to take care of this program as to whether this should be added into the $5,000'total. The Reeve instructed that the No. 13 Road (Holland Dyke) should be entered into the foreman's book for grading. As the Reeve would be absent at the Regular Monthly Meeting, September 2nd, due to the Mayors and Reeves Convention at Edmonton, and would be leaving by August 27th, he appointed Councillor J. Simmonds as -Acting Reeve. The matter of the 011enburger ditch was brought up again by the" - Reeve. It was agreed that the situation should be reviewed again with the possibility of completing the work. The Reeve advised the Councillors of the Wednesday night meeting at New Westminster at 8:00 P.N. He also brought up the matter that we should seriously consider the appointing of a special policeman to enforce parking regulations. He felt.that at least we.shouid consider this before -any decision big made in regard to parking metres. As Corporal Calvert, chairman of the Traffic Committee was away for a few days, the matter was left to his return and a meeting with the Traffic Committee. Councillor ydoods brought up the question of truckers picking up and deliverying goods without first obtaining a licence. 'Reports have been made to him that this was happening and the Clerk was instructed to look into the matter. Councillor Simmonds again referred to the purchase of a small portion off' land in Albion that could be dedicated in use for park or play grouifgpurposes. He instantces a shall portion of the Ritchie property at a price'in the neighborhood of $350.00. The Council felt that the matter should be referred to the Parks Board first, who would meet on Friday, -August 26. Councillor Simmonds, with the support of George Bailey, recommended that the rough portion of the new cemmetery be ploughed and seeded to grass. Also the Cemmetery Committee were looking into the matter of the estimated number of grave plots available that could be sold to the I.O.O.F. It was also recommended that 410 extra should be paid to the two cemmetery care -takers for exhuming the remains of a decomposed body, last week. Councillor Dunlop asked for grader work on Lorne Road and also to level out the new dug ditch on the Lindblad property. He asked the Council to visit the drainage problem east of 2nd Avenue on the Sloan property. He felt that this had been aggravated by drainage from the golf course. Also that the new new road which had been recently graveled west of lst Avenue, adjacent to the Haliday home, should be leveled out and the con- necting road from 17th Road to Lougheed Highway should be brushed. Councillor Wood again brought up the matter of hard surfacing Carr Hill at the end of the River Road. A long discussion took place with reference to hard surfacing the cut JbW roads in the Mountain View aub division. It was decided to leave this project until next year, since considerable work had been done in the neighborhood already. iLCY Minutes August 22nd, 19553 Continued Councillor Johnson recommended that'the"sidewalk on'the Trunk Road should be commenced without delay and also the..widening of 16th Avenue, North which had been recommended in the early Spring.

No permits were issued for same and no inspection given at that time. Mr. Morlez reported that y the ceiling were too low and the plumbing and electrical wiring was not up to present day standards. The Council considered the matter fnr some time and then agreed that Miss Fallow should take out the necessary permits to rectify both plumbing and electrical 'wiring, on the understanding that Council did not condone prior violations which would have to be corrected if any major alterations were required later on.

Mr. Ainley and 1vir. tkdair, representing Maple Ridge Holdings, discuss4d with the Council the matter of a drainage dith through their property. As the Council felt obligated to a small extent by virtue of using the present drain as a run-off from �( the north side of the Trunk Road, they offered to excavate and back fill the ditch recommended by Haney Holdings on their pro- posed public road in the new subdivision, on the understanding 394 I+linutes of May 25th, 1956, Continued that the Company would install the catch basin, purchase and Jay a ten (10) inch tile. This was agreeable to all. It was to be understood that the Corporation was only involved in one main ditch running north hgi 20th Road and if the Corporation shovel was available Haney Holdings could hire same at prevailing cost. Mr. Verigin would be allowed to cut trees on the A & L right-of- way, providing he -piles the brush. Also, Mr. Zeron would.be allowed -to install plastic pipe line at his own cost upon road to his property ofr'17th Avenue. 11 inch pipe was recomrriendea.

Councillors Simmonds now brought up the matter of brushing 15th Road and the price offered to Kr. Ashworth, which he considered was far too low. Reeve and Council would visit the road in' question next Tuesday. Councillor Dunlop asked for slow signs to be placed on Lorne Road at both parks in Hammond Town Site. Also, he felt that12.50 should be paid to Dan J. TvicFarlane for removing a large stump on E augh Street. Councillor Johnson recommended that the hard surface be continued on 27th Avenue north of Lougheed Highway and also that dead-end signs should be errected. He also brought up the matter of widening and ditching Selkirk Street, T'Venzies Street and !4'iclntosh Street, which had been discussed many times previously. Council agreed that this.work should be finished this year. The matter of the steep hill on 17th avenue north, leading to the Barney property should also receive the work recommended previously._ . Councillor Bailey recommended that 19th Avenue Forth and 20th Avenue aouth should be widened as requested in the petition from all the owners last year. No further business meeting adjourned.at. 12:20 p.m. REEVE CLE Rt � �D Minutes of June 1st, 1956. Full Council met for their monthly --meeting on June Ist. Many delegations being present,`�vlr. Vorlez, Building Inspector, was given first attention with the question of the violation of the Building Bylaw with regard to basement suites. The nspector.,•together with the Sanitary Inspector had visited numerous basement app.artments and found, that in all cases a (violation had been made., also no permits had been applied for ,or issued. In most cases it would be impossible to alter i.same to comply with reguiti tions. Eventually it was decided + that all resid-ents that were leasing basement suites should be given one year to bring up the standards to the requirements 1of the Building Bylaw, given to June lst, 1957. ,14ra. Hilland,' representing a large delegation from 23rd Ave. North, requested the installation of water to the property i owners. She was given a considerable amount of detail by the Reeve with regard to an area scheme or local improvement plan. The water committee would visit the next meeting of the.23rd Avenue residents area, held next Tuesday and would present to them the detail that they should follow. A request was now made to open up and gravel 9- Avenue, North of.Martin Road, adjacent to the @atholic Church. The bre- man would carry out this work immediately trucks were available. Mrs. J.C.-Sloan presented a petition from property, owners on 2nd Avenue regarding an inadequate ditch drainage in that area. A long discussion'followed and a committee, including the Peeve, would th.orou.ghly'investigate the whole problem, also the question of.the Golf Course drainage which was running on to private properties. Mrs. B. Blackstock.on behalf of the School Board._presented a tentative plan for approval of the Smith property at the end of 13th Avenue. Apparently the. School .Board was considering purchasing the property for school purposes and did not requite the continuation of the &oss road,through same. Council would approve the plan presented later,,showing the. nest 40-feet of the property in question being reserved for road purposes, thus connecting moss Road North to 13th Avenue. Mr. Pallot, on behalf of Mr. Quenton, requested permisrsion to instal a private water pipe through Whonock Creek along a small portion of 12th Road to ° Tt'Lr . Quenton' s property line. Permission. was granted on the understanding that this did not interfere with the travelled portion of the road. Messrs Ainley and Adair, representing Haney Holdings, presented a drainage plan prepared by Surveyor N'z-. .Edge, which called. for a 1-4 ,inch•-. drainage the and also a 15 inch drainage ti;e . Delegates were asking Council to absorb the -additional cost over the price of 10 inch tile. Council i4ould consider this ipatter. ,later. .Mr. W. Anderson, on behalf of Ridgeway Subdivision, offered to pay Council the, .cost of•a dust layer of Calcium-eloride. It is estimated that a, ton would be needed., which the Council had on hand. Council agreed. to sell same - for approximately ;60.00 per. ton and to do the spreading free of charge, as an experiment, Mr. A. Nelson; representing Nelson Bros. 'Saw Mill, asked the d.isposiion of their timber purchase on Lot 17, South fast of 27, Township 12, as the lease renewal had expired on March,1954. As there was'another purchaser interrested in same, Clerk was `notified to advertise for tenders for timber on Lots 16, 17 and 1$2 South Adi4st 27, Township 12. It was felt by Council that if Nelson Bros. were unsuccessful in their bid that the original $265.00 should be refunded.' However, . Council would deal with the matterwhen tenders were presented. dead -line date would be June 18th, 1956. Y\, Mr. Lester, representing the Golden Ears Curling Club asked the Council and Parks Board -to again open up the question of selling approximately one acre of` the north east corner of the Aggie. Minutes of June 1st, 1956,, Continued. Moved by grounds for the purpose of erecting a curling rink. Prior discussion on the matter had involved only a lease being given. Mr. Lester asked for a reviews of the whole situation on a later date before a committmentwas made. Mr. Lester also asked fdr a re -consideration of the sale of the Okeson Lots No.322 and-325, in Hammond Townsite. He was representing Mr. Okeson and felt that his client should be the purchaser of both. Co:,_ncil would review the matter again and give a decision later. The Reeve would set up a committee, consisting of himself and Councillor Johnson and another Councillor to deal with both matters. A petition consisting of 120 owners was now read to the Council asking that a Building Permit be not granted for the proposed hall to be built on the corner of 5th Avenue. After a long debate Council decided that in view of the fact that almost all of the property owners in th at area had signed a petition objecting to the building, that no permit should be issued in that location. Councillor Bailey and Simmonds. that in view of the Petition presentee, regarding 5th Avenue and Dewdney Trunk Road, by the people of that area, against the erection of said hall, that no building permit be issued .ror said purpose. CARRIED Park Commissioner Chatwin reported to the meeting that the bull dozer hired to the Parks Board to clean out theAlouette River, adjacent to Ivor. Ketty's property had been objected to on the grounds that the river had now moved on to Mr. Ketty's property and there- fore the Parks Board were tresspassing on same. It was suggested that the bull -dozer leave that particular piece of property at Mr. KettAT's until a boundary line had been established. Commissioner Bailey, also representing the Maple Ridge Parks Board, was given permission to use Corporation machinery on non ,working; days if'IvUnicipal operators were willing to work for the Parks Board. it involved removing sand from the park, which was offered to Council for any fill they may have. ,',loved by Councillors Bailey and Dunlop that the minutes of May 4th and 25th be approved as circularized. CARRIED Road_ Foreman, ivir.Lilley, reported on the progress of the hard surfac work which was satisfactory so far. Councillor Johnson notiy'ied the forerlan that one of the new trucks may be available from Kamloops very shortly. Councillor Dunlop asked that attention be gi,ren to Mr. C . Thompson on Lorne goad, west of Princess Street, who needed gravel to cover a drainage ditch he had installed. Councillor Dunlop also mentioned Mr. Kennedy on 18th Road, whose ditch needed cleaning. The Reeve reported on the Hay 2ros. heater line at the xOxYkx north end of First Avenue, which was on a metre costing him in the neigh- borhood of y $.00 a month. As r. Hay was a resident of Pitt .Meadc,�„ and the property was served from Maple Ridge water line by an old agreement, the Reeve felt that Mr. Hay should receive water reasonably near the Pitt Meadows monthly rate, as Pitt hieadoi-is was also serving five Maple Ridge customers in the Harili,ond area the metre on theHay property was ordered removed and the usual monthly rate xyq. apply. Piotlon to pay Valley Concrete Company contract price for construc- ting sidewalk is as follows: Moved by Councillors Bailey and Dunlop. that the Road Foreman having inspecte; the De•adrey Trunk sidewalk, Valley Concrete: Company be paid the su:: of �:235$.57abeing the contract price for 2711 feet at �7¢.

Councillor Johnson brought up the matter of development of the Municipal property adjacent to the Municipal Sheds. He felt that the mechanic working there was,dissatisfied with present working quarters and that our plan or erecting new building should pro- gress at a greater rate of speed than it was doing presently.

No further business meeting adjourned at 12:00-noono �REEVE (f 417 M alillg gE August 161h ,_156� Full council convened at a special meeting on Thursday night, August 16th at 8:00 p.m. Mfr. Frank DeWolf was present and presented a problem at the Alouette River. He submitted a rough plan of his idea of the protection needed to safe guard the South; Alouette River -Bridge. In his estimation a rock fill wax necessary with a log structure to protect the river wash. -The Reeve and Council were somewhat familiar with the question and would await a meeting with the Provincial .Engineer, Mr. Fa.ndlyson, who would be here shortly. r The agenda commenced with correspondence from property owners on 7th Avenue .North, requesting road service. Clerk was ordered to acknowledge and refer the matter to the foreman for gravelling and grading, if necessary. Mr. J. StJean, by letter, offered 0600.00 for timber cut by our road allowances adjacent`to his property, lots 21 to 25, SE4, Sec.27, Twp.12. The'following motion was recorded. Moved by Councillors Brown and Simmonds that Mr. J. StJean be asked to pay an -additional $1,000.00 for timber on the road allowances surrounding.the Lots No. 21, 222 23, 24 and 25, that he purchased recently from the Municipality. CARRIER Redidents located on a side road off 33rd Avenue submitted the name of "WAndering Road". Council raised no objection to this name if that was their wish. Raney Central P.T.A. claimed of traffic speeding in school zones and non observation of school crossings. The matter was referred to the Traffic Committee, who would take it up\with the R.C.M. Police with recommendations that school crossing be errected and also the approach to same be marked with a large yellow cross. Committee would first meet with the R.C.M.P. A request was presented for those people who had lost their homes by flood to be allowed to replace them without charge for permit. A grant was approved for Miss Maple Ridge by the following motion: d by Councillors Bailey and Dunlop that a grant of $50.00 be made to Miss maple Ridge, who will represent this Municipality to compete for Kiss P.N.E. CARRIED Zoning Amending Bylaw No.4-27"A" was given first and second reading. by Councillors Dunlop and Johnson that Zoning Amending Bylaw No-427"A" be given first and second reading. -W : .. CARRIED The -account for the purchase of two trucks from Haney Garage was now reviewed. This -was laid over for the time being, pending a check with regard to speci- fications required pursuant to tender. Reeve now discussed the retiring of Sub -foreman George Dunster, whohad reached the age of 70 and also Mr. Sword. In the case of Mr. Dunster all felt that it was necessary to retain his services for one more month in order to acqudnt a new sub -foreman with his work. A request had been made from the Valley Concrete'Company to excavate gravel from the Alouette River, east of 8th Avenue on Municipal property. This was allowed, subject to supervision of our Road Foreman, on the payment of 100 per yard royalty. The Reeve also brought up the matter of Mr. Alexander, Parking Inspector, who was still patrolling the area and finding -no violations. As this man operated on a commission and therefore received nothing for his time, it was agreed that a maximum of three rounds per week would be paid for by the Municipality, regardless of -violations, at $1.50 for each round, the maximum would be $4.50 per week, less fines that may occur. by Councillors Johnson and Dunlop that the Plan of a.Portion of Lot 1 of Parcel "G" of Lots one, five, six og Parcel "F" of Lot 400, Group 1,..Plan 9032, N.W.D., be approved. CARRIED. 4-1-8 Minutes of August 16th, 1956, Continued, The question now arose with regard to the necessity of purchasing a compressor hammer. It was recommended the cost of same would be equally charged toward General and Waterworks. The estimated cost would be in the neighborhood of $2,000.00. Foreman would be advised to investigate the market for such a - machine and report to.Council. It was flet that such a machine would eliminate considerable hourly labour. Reeve also brought up the matter of widening Dewdney Trunk Road and the•questions of providing numerous expensive culverts. As there Was still a considerable balance of funds.left for Swondary Highway expenditure the question would be brought up when-the.Provi.ncial Engineer,_visited this area in the next week or two, as to whether we could adjust our Secondary Highways'Account to take care of this emergency work. Councillor Dunlop inquired as to the method of sharing in sidewalks, particularly with regard to Dr. Gallagher's building on 7th Avenue. He was informed that if the sidewalk met with the specifications and approval of'the foreman the Council would consider a shareability based on 50/50 division between owner and Corporation. As the Reeve was leaving tomorrow for. the Confederation of Mayors and'Reeves convention at Kingston_, Ontari,'" informed Council that if an emmergency meeting was\necessary they would elect their own chairman. In the event of two Councillors with the same seniority the problem would,be theirs to decide who should take the chair, Meeting adjourned at 10 10 P. '1- ■ MinUtes of September 7th, 1956. ' Full Council was.--i-n- attendance for their regular meeting, Friday, September ,7th. Messrs Lester and Emery, representing the Golden Fars Curling Company Limited, were in attendance and requested Council to consider conveying to the company for the sum of $2,000.bo municipal property described as Lot 5 of Lot 398, Group 1, Plan 4499 and a portion directly north, approximately 48 feet by 105 feet for theX purpose of erecting their curling rink. b The matter was discussed at great,length, each Councillor eing contacted and .the general opinion seemed to be in favour of this, on the understanding that, it was definitely a community concern, but the. final decision- would be given at a later date, when more particulars were presented and the location was thor- oughly examined and provision made to.remove th e'presently existing municipal shed off the, property. Mr. Lempki of Hammond had a water problem and asked the Council to install a line to his lot. The Water Committee would visit the location and deal with .the matter. Mr. Luther of north Street complained of,blocked drainage tile that. existed fronting his property.. He asked for immediate attention as"the matter had been delayed considerable times. Foreman would .investigate and remedy the matter. Correspondence was now dealt with. Letter from Jack Biggs asking for the confirmation of permission given him a few years ago to cut fire wood: on.Corporation property adjacent to our No..6 Road Gravel Pit. This was approved. and Clerk was to notify Mr. Biggs. Letter from the School District No.42 asking for correction of the exao-Ke. off the. No.6 Road Pit school property. The -School Board were prepared to install a culvett,-at their expense,;under.the direction of the Municipality. Foreman would. investigate `the,,patter .and deal with same, at School Board's cost. Mr. C. Sheppard complained, by letter, of a draina�e problem effecting his property on 14th Avenue, Lot D of SW4, Sec.2$, Twp.12, Plan 15594. He asked the Corporation to install a culvert or provide xxg sufficient fill -to overcome .the condition. Clerk was to write.suggesting that culverts were already present but were apparently blocked and Foreman would see that they were cleaned out. �- Mr. Cadsand's claim for the loss ofa pure -bread registered sheep, requesting 00.00 compensation was not approved as apparently there was no evidence to prove that the ewe had been killed by dogs. Letter from the B.C. Assessors Association advised Council of their next convention at Vernon, September 12, 13, and 14. Permission was given 'or the Assessor to attend if he so wished. Lower Mainland Regional.Planning Board's minutes were noted and filed. A letter from T. Mace, Trunk Road Fast, stating that his request to the Parks Board to cut shakes on property administered by the Parks Board on the north east side of,Whonock Lake, had been referred to the Council. He now requested.Council's permission to take out cedar shakes. This was not granted. Police'Report was read and filed. Mir. R. King, owning property described as the W2 of Lot 4, NW141 Section 16, Township 15, asked f or.a gravel road adjacent to same. Councillor Simmonds would investigate this as there appeared to be a road -that,,never had been, opened. 'If only a few; loads were necessary Councillor Simmonds,would deal with the matter . 420, MinutesofSeptember 7th.,_ 1956, continued. A I . ( . . I . I . I I As Foreman Mr. Lilley, was now present Councillor Simmonds, asked for something to be done about the drainage problem.that existed around the Kiinicipal Hall.and Health Centre. Foreman reported that the hard surface and patching program was almost completed and he would now examine the drainage system at the Hall. Councillor Dunlop requested crushed gravel to be,laid on the Dyke Road Hammond. The Councillor also.reported that he had complaints about the patching don , e around the Hammond district and would like the Foreman to investigate the matter. Also, ,that; the sidewalk had been broken adjacent to the Central Garage. He felt that whoever did same should compensate, the Municipality for replacement2 which should take place without loss of time. Also, the parking problem in front of the Hammond Hall still existed. He flet that the%.remedy would be to paint No Parking Signs on the hard surface and also on the hall building. Councillor Dunlop also asked for ditches to be cleaned across the track. This brought up the report from the'Reev with reference to the considerable ditch.deppening that had occurred on the Goldie -property. Mr. Goldielwas now faced with a bill in the extent of $500-00. He felt that the Corporation should pay the cost of this ditch as it definitely imDroved,t�e general water run-off in lower Hammond. The Councillors _Lllors were atai eventually agreed on this -point and all felt that the IFlunicipality should assist Mr. Goldie in the payment of this account,,preferably by a direct payment to -the Dyking Comirissioner. , - 1, Mr. Larry Verigin entered the hall and asked permission to cut fire wood -adjacent to his home on the A&L right of way, SW1 4, Sec.12, Twpel2, verbal permission was given, on the understanding that he pile the.brush at the same time. % Messrs Edge and Trethewey presented a problem to the Council with regard to a low -area that existed on 32nd Road, west of 8th Ave. They estimated it would take in the neighborhood of 500 yards ka of fill'to strengthen this. Reeve and Council were of the opinion that they were correct. Reeve would get in touch with the Foreman and visit the spot. it was also suggested by Mr. Trethewey that'lovier 5th Avenue should receive a facing of rook in the depressed.spots where,flood waters effected. He felt that the rock would hold the road :from being washed away... Sprinkling regulations were now discussed and it was felt 'that Council would not legally lift same but would not prosecute if people sprinkled beyond t-he restricted hours., I Savage of Savage Mill asked for an extension of time to remove timber from a portion of Municipal land. The following motion dealt with same. Moved by Councillors Simmonds and Brown that an extension of one year period be given to Savage Bros. to remove the timber on the SW14 of the NW14 and also Lot 5 of Section 18,-Twp.12. 1 :1 CARRIED Mr. Mike Bodnarlscoff.er to dig the water ditch on 15th Road and 15th Avenue was -verbally approved, purquant,,to Bylaw No.�29, for the sum of $800.00. The length -was approximately 2800 feet and depth not less than 18 inches. The question of building a Miunicipal reservoir east of th'e Websters Corners tank was discussed considerably and the Committeerecommended to investigate and corunence the project as soon as .possible, as any additions to the water connections east of 17th Avenue. would aggravate the problem unless adequate storage was beyond 2�th Avenue. venue. Permission was given ' to Mr.—T,4riffiths to build on a lot situated on 9th avenue, next t6—his home. -His 16t.,was smaller in area than the Bylaw called for.

As our Secondary Highway account was drawing to completion the Peeve felt that he should approach the Provincial member with a view to a grant to assist us in the matter.

Moved by Councillors Simmonds and Dunlop that the minutes of November �Oth and 25th be approved as circularized. C.�RRIED . Building Inspector, D. Morlez, presented two plans for the pro- posed layout to house Municipal machinery. He asked for dxx decision to enablo him to install permanent water and electrical fixtures. One of the plans had been designed by Councillor Johnson, the other by Mr. Morlez. It was readily seen that both plans had their merits and expressions were made on the advantageous point of each. It was felt and agreed that -Councillor Johnson and Mr. Morlez would be given a little more time together to finalize a layout that would be satisfactory to all concerned. Mrb. C.S. Pallot requested Council to consider opening the Municipal Office all day Saturday and closing on Monday. Council recognized the benefits that would accrue to the taxpayer, but the Reeve explained the difficulty that would arise as neither the Motor Vehicle Department of the Social Welfare Department would be allowed to operate on Saturdays. Also, ),o banking facilities would be available on that day and to add to this the balance of the office would be handicaped as most of the routine work was left over and completed on Mondays when the stores were closed. The agenda was now referred to. Letter from Mrs. Trethewey asking for the naming of certain new roads that she was prepared to plan. Her recommendation that three roads should be named Walnut Place, Park Lane and Cedarway, as only one plan had yet been approved showing what would be known as Walnut Road, Council felt that it would be better to deal with the matter when all roads had been accepted by the Municipality. In the meantime, if Mrs. Trethewey wished to erect her own signs, Council would have no objection. ,i3 434 Minutes of November.2nd, 1956, continued. Letter from Mrs. Dora Bols requesting a pathway or sidewalk be established on 23rd Avenue east to the bridge, would be left over until the�new year, as it is quite possible that the Websters Corners Bridge would be disturbed considerably or completely•replaced with a fill.

McNuttts application to purchase tax sale lands', approxi- mately 150 acres from the SEA., Section 11, Township 12, Plan 2580 and also Lots 3-15, SE", Section 16, Township 15, was not accepted as Council desired to hold same for the time being. Letter from Mr. R.E. Lester with reference to the ditching of $6th Avenue asking what kind.of deal is expected from the owners. Council recommended that the owners should provide the tile material and Corporation do the work. Foreman would notify the Clerk ws to the quantity and cost of material before replying to Mr. Lester. Complaint from F. Zeron with relation to the appointment of the Assistant Foreman. Clerk was to notify hir. . Zeron that if the grievance was submitted to Council by Union Grievance Committee the Council Grievance Committee would meet and discuss the matter with them. Foreman Lilley was now present and requested permission to hire a trench hoe in order to take care of sewer line on 7th Avenue as our shovel was engaged at the Kanaka Creek Bridge. Foreman was given permission to do so. Both Foreman and Councillor Bailey drought up the condition of 21st Avenue, below the Institution site. Apparently the run-off of water was aggravated by drainage from the Institution. As considerable expense would be involved in taking care of this, peeve would take ' the matter up with our local provincial representative, Iviinister Lyle Wicks. Councillor Dunlop asked for slow signs to be erected at the Dutch School on Trunk Road, `west of 5th Avenue. Councillor Simmonds brought up the matter of gravel and sand that was washed onto the N. Jones' property on 6th and 25th, Also, .� that the small bridge on 33rd should be checked. Foreman no same.

Councillor Bailey asked for stumps to be removed opposite the Hepburn place on Trunk Road. ' The continuation of 21st Avenue south, through the Nagai property was brought up again by the Reeve. He had approached Mr. Nagai and they were now waiting for the area that would be allowed for this under- taking. It was reported that the B.C. Electric when erecting a pole had washed one of our culverts on 30th Avenue opposite the Shrove property, Clerk was to take the matter up with the B.C. Electric after obtain- ing the cost from the Foreman for redigging the ditch around the pole, ivr. Peterson of 12th Avenue again presented a petition asking for a complete renevation of the road.

"� CLERK 439 Minutes of November 15th, 19560 Court of Revision of the Voters' List opened with full Council present on November 15th at 10:00 a.m., also the Hearing for the Wicklund Road Local Improvement Water Main. 'Moved by Councillors Simmonds and Dunlop that Reeve P. Jenewein be Chairman of the -Court of Revision for Local Improvement Water Main, Wicklund Road and L.W. Hawkins act as Clerk. CARRIED. Moved by Councillors Bailey and Dunlop that Reeve P. Jenewein act as Chairman of the Court of Revision for the 1956-1957 Voters' List and L.W. Hawkins act as Clerk. CARRIED_ Mr. A.L. Sharp bitterly protested the maximum 120 foot exemption from foot frontage rates allowed on his property. Reeve explained that this was a statutory exemption allowed under the Local Improvement Act and that we could offer him no help,in the matter. Mr.Sharp was the only owner who had not signed the petition for the water main, which passed his property. Mr. S.B. Gervin, Solicitor for Jehovah Witnesses , applied to the Council for a permit to be issued to his clients to erect a Church on the corner of 5th Ave. and Dewdney Trunk Road or state Council's-reasons for refusal of permit. -The Reeve explained many reasons for delay in issuing the permit, which had been applied for in June previously. Primarily, the main reason was due to the petition presented to Council, signed by 95% of the surrounding owners adjacent to that corner. The petition was an objection to a Kingdon Hall being built in that particular spot. They felt it would definitely depreciate the value of all surrounding properties. Also, a letter of protest had been filed with -the Council by the owner and operator of.the Rest Home immediately east of the pro- posed building site. The reason stated in the protest was that the noise of the car traffic would disturb the rest of the patients. The Reeve explained that Council considered it their duty to consider both petitions and that the members of the Jehovah Witnesses had been advised to reeanvass the district in the hope that those signing the petitions would change their minds and that if such a revised petition was presented to Council they :could reconsider the whole matter. Each Councillor expressed his individual opinion and all felt it was their duty to consider the majority affected and that mnay other problems were iresent, such as sewerage disposal for such a large assembly hall. As nothing was shown on the plans when presented, when application was made for the permit, with regard to this, both the Sanitary and Building Inspectors had requested the permit be up. Reeve and Council felt that if they were wrong in their opinions and, their duty was not to protect the majority, that some higher authority should over -rule them. Mr. Hemminger of 22nd Road east of 14th Avenue complained of an overflowing ditch onto his property. This would receive foreman's attention. Mr. Stephens, representing interests that had proposed to build a mausoleum in the Maple Ridge Cemetery, without cost to the Corporation, thoroughly ' explained the detail of the construction. The size of the property requested would be approximately 38tx4Ot and the building erected weld be 351x401, constructed of 9 inch re-inforced conrete walls and roof and 12 inch concrete floor. Outer walls would be lined with Indiana Lime Stone, highly polished. The building would require no maintainence and would take care of twice as many burials as the ground area underneath could provide. The company was prepared to pay $1,500.00 for the site, if the project was accepted. He was now asking for an option, preferably good for the next sKg seven months. If the response from the public was receptive to purchase the burial vaults the company would construct the building, entirely free of all cost to the Municipality. When all vaults were fully paid off the property would revert back to the Corporation. The Council felt they had nothing to lose, as they were to receive 1,500.OQ to doubly fill the burial capacity. The plan was approved as pre- sented and the option would be signed, Mr. W. Hope asked.for the deepening of the ditch on 7th Ave. north of the Trunk .Road. Foreman would be advised. A very much delayed problem was -now discussed. That of the sale of Lots 322 and 325 which Corporation had acquired by tax sale procedure and eventually by Crown Grant free of all encumbrance. The defaultor was Mrs. Lilliam Okeson, who in 1953 had sold Lot 322 to Mr. Reed, who had not bee allowed to register his agreement, therefore received no tax notices. It was felt by Council that a loss had been sustained by Mr. Reed who had already paid $1,500.00 in 44a Minutes of November 15th, 1956, continuedp installments on Lot 322 and Council had been prepared to turn over a clear title to him in payment of all costs to the Municipality. A Bylaw to this effect'had been prepared but not executed to final reading. Evidence was submitted later that Mr. Need was partly to blam for non payment of taxes. A committee had been set up of the Reeve and Clerk, together with Councillor Dunlop and legal rep- resentatives from Mm Okeson and Mr. Reed to clarify the whole matter. This committee came to the unanimous decision that justice would prevail if bothx Lots 322 and 325 were deeded to the original owner, Mrs. Okeson, and that a new agreement of sale be made to Mr. Reed by Mrs. Okeson, who had also paid to the Corporation for.the two lots, theft oL-al sum of $1,103.34. The following motions approved same. i Moved by Councillors Dunlop and Simmonds that recommendation of the Special Committee set up to inv(:stigate the sale of Lots 322 and 325 of Lot 279, Group.l, Phan 114 be accepted, and that we refund the deposit of 230.00 paid by Mr. D.R.Re6d, together with 6% interest on the amount for seven months and that we now sell Lots 322 and 325 to Lillian Okeson, for the total sum of 1,013.34.

Mr. Fairweather's.cheque for $268e.00 was now ordered held back until he cleared up the brush when cutting down limbs on the Corporation balevardi, in Hammond. Councillor Johnson --now wished to record that he was against continuing and completing of the mechanic building and the men's luncbr room if the cost of same was to exceed the original estimate of $5,000.00. He strongly recommended that the foundation of the truck base should be installed before the frosty weather occurred. He was advised that the cost of the building, as is at the present time, would be investi- gated, as to whether the cost of completion would be within the budget figure. All agreed that it would be a good idea to commence the foundation before frosty weather, if at all possible. Councillor Johnson also asked the Clerk to,investigate as to why Mr. Streng on 8th Avenue, was charged for two water connectionse The Reeve now reported on his investigation with the R. C.M.P., on the Constables behaviour, as complained about by Councillor Johnson at the previous meeting. Reeve reported that he had a long talk with Sergeant Calvert and found that in two instances Councillor Johnsont accusations were correct:- The opinion of the Council was divided as �o whether the matter should be taken to a his_;her authority, other than our local detachment. The matter was•left for further consideration. f Moved by Councillors Johnson and Dunlop that the tentative approval be given to subdivision o r Part of Lots 20 and 4 of Lot 397, Plan 3175, subject to the requirements of Road }t'�1 Subdivision Bylaw and Foreman's approval of same.

The William's subdivision road was approved and plans were ordered signed. The Reeve now reported his inpsection of the drainage problem on 19th'Avenue and the diversion of water through the Agle property. The owner was apparently not in favour of an open ditch across his property and the Reeve felt that in places the cut would be at least seven feet deep, in order to obtain the fall. He recommended 'thatproper levels be tken before any commitment was made, as the project would also require a fill which would involve considerable expense. Therefore, the owner and the Corporation should have a written understanding before work commenced. The location would be .again reviewed within two weeks, The Reeve felt that the 15 inch culvert installed by the Corporation through the United Church Woperty would solve that drainage problem and the 12 inch existing the would not be disturbed. The Foremand had been instructed to count the number of driveway crossing on the Trunk goad opposite the cannery where an 18 inch tile had been considered satisfactory. This work would be estimated and z. included in the Secondary Highway 1957 Account. Mr. Newton, corner of 92 Avenue and Martin Road, opposite the Catholic Church had requested five -or six 10 inch the in order to replace broken ones crossing his driveway. Reeve would instruct the Foreman to provide the tile and inspect the installation to be done by Yw. Newton. ,Councillor Dunlop requested that the Provincial Sanitary Inspector -inspect the Christensen mink farm on 3rd Avenue, as complaints had been made about same.
