v dear jim i found it very enlightening to read that whitchurchstouffville exports over two million tons of itself every year in the form of sand and gravel and that two weeks la ter mention is made of four cent per ton revenue for the town in the future under the proposed aggregates act what a light in the forest except that this was suggested to the town over a year ago as possible revenue to put towards the new recreation com plex what a waste as each ton goes out un- levied a beautiful community centre slips further and further out of our grasp until we will be left with only the bare essentials- our own noname centre here we have a community that sends out sand and gravel to make more homes for more people to send more garbage back up to us the classic vicious circle but wait a minute as everyone else is racking their brains trying to turn lead into gold havent we whitchurchstouf fvillites taken a first step towards that end by pro ving you can at least take common sand and turn it into real metal cans a wide array of plastics super solvents dirty di apers and seagulls the very essence of life you mean to tell me that a tiny commun- ity is expected to raise two million dollars on its own while two of the most lucrative industries freely deface our land and our lives i think that substantial contribu tions towards our community centre is small compensation for all the milk and honey theyve raped from us four cents a ton levy on gravel for a fixed period of time is too little five cents six cents is not much extra for toronto and markham to pay to construct their buildings and get rid of their garbage and i should think a dol lar a ton levy for 750000 tonnes of garbage already partially deposited but not yet col lected upon would go a long way to give us a fine recreation centre of which we could all be proud nothing is more degrading than the thought of us blindly scurrying and scrounging to put our nickels and dimes together while we are being walked all over by companies that are making mil lions of dollars on our plight we must appear to them to have sucker written in big letters across our foreheads one more thing while i have the floor it irks me that it was suggested that the four cent levy would go to roads and not to a complex are scientifically ditched roads going to help our growingups to find something to do here no it will just make for better roads leading out of the commun- ity to others that have activities for people to do lets put our money where our heart should be at the centre of this town not someone elses it frustrates many to think that icerinks for hockey get priority over an indoorpool can all members of a family use a hockey rink together especially the ones with special need most handicapped can use
