r a toe tribune thursday may 115 s the township of uxbridge officially opened its newly- renovated municipal offices friday with durham regions chairman walter beath on hand here part of the new council chamber is shown prior to last thursdays meeting from left to right councillor eleanor todd mayor carl puterbough councillors joe esmonde seated and bill ballinger ted wilcox letters to the editor rspratley outspoken on airport dear sir several weeks ago prime minister trudeau spoke in toronto he described in detail how painful and difficult it was to make the decision in regard to the pickering airport apparently the cabinet agonized over the problem but in the end he said- the project must go forward as only 2000 people would be affected by building pickering whereas expansion of malton would disrupt an additional 00000 people this phoney 2000 population disturbance figure from the ministry of transport has- been used for three years by some ottawa politicians and malton residents who are pro pickering there are about 800 properties in the ex propriated area these homeowners were promised a house for a house by the minister of transport but ottawa has renegucd t next is the provincial freeze on about 50000 acres around the site which removed landuse rights from all residents there are thousands affected in this area because queens park refuses to accept any responsibility for the hardships that it has created thanks to the ontario tories the federal government is able to control the whole area without paying a penny people with residential land cannot build or sell but must continue to pay taxes on original assessed value with most of the airport site located in the town of pickering the bulk of the property taxes are payable to this municipality but the hitch is that they are not being paid promptly as of may 1st 1975 the taxes owed to pickering by the federal government were about 125000 and climbing the 25000 residents here are paying interest on borrowed money to pay town bills because ottawa will not live up to its commitments pickering municipal staff have been asked for special reports ad ditional tax bills and other information by ottawa with charges standing at over 5000 after 3 years and still unpaid what does the future hold for the people of pickering and the other municipalities here when we have to deal with a federal government that breaks every promise it makes and a provincial government that has so little interest in our well being that it acts as an ottawa stooge in 50000 acresworth of ex propriation without compensation in my opinion anyone who uses this ridiculous figure of only 2000 people affected to describe the physical emotional and financial cost of this project locally is either easily led or is dishonest and that includes the prime minister kenspratley councillor ward 3 town of pickering question answered dear sir i was interested to sec that both you and john montgomery are quite worried about the dumping situation in our district may 15 issue i would suggest that this is a continental problem and not peculiar- to stouffville fifty per cent of the energy con sumed in north america goes to produce im mediate garbage we would be much further ahead if we found ways to produce less garbage use fewer natural resources and conserve energy this can only be done with the program designed by technocracy incorporated with maximum incomes for all wiuya minimum of labor as the price system becomes increasingly unstable with growing unemployment and continuing inflation can anyone doubt that scientific government as designed by technocracy is the only solution available to us in an age of high energy conversion accompanied by in creasing mechanization and cybernation walter spademan rr 1 claremont wituows smashed someone smashed the left rear window of a car belonging to ian gilham of elm road the vehicle was parked in front of the owners residence at the time damage was estimated at 60 brownie hanger drive stouffville brownies are having a hanger drive saturday may 31 from 9 am to l pm those people with extra hangers are asked to leave them at the end of their driveways by 9 am for pickup call 6402588 bavarian beer festival stouffville fire departments annual bavarian beer festival is set for june 7 at the stouffville arena choice mushrooms mandarin oranges 10r i 0z tins for orange crystals 0f poly bag f5x3xoz pkgs unsweetened from concentrated 88 cat food i 2x88 fbi orange juice 23gb88 baggies alligator plastic sandwich bags plasticstrips n gainsborough 4packi frozen johnson bandaids a oq bread dough t oct apple cherry or blueberry y h i pilbbury turnovers visf- iga white serviettes assorted davids mallows york blanched or spanish salted peamnw v do 3lp 88 i 88 rug shampooer to our customers quality service and value all at stouffyilleiga nn won to wed 6 pm thurs fn til 9 pm sat 6 pm ryi
