Since his run for office as an independent Parkdale candidate in the 1974 federal election, Young has been heavily involved behind the scenes with the Tories.

But despite Young scoring an easy victory over the slate of canâ€" didates, those in the campaign of David Hares left the meeting disâ€" gruntled. "There‘s no way we can work with that guy," said Craig Chandler, a federal Reform Party member who nominated Hares. Chandler, president of PGIB, a professional lobby group of busiâ€" ness people, is also a member of a group opposed to the Reform Party getting into the province of Ontario. He said during the bitter campaign that Young called the Hares campaign "neoâ€"Nazi" and "brown shirts" and alienated a great many Reformers with his derogatory remarks. Chandler said the Hares camâ€" paign mounted an â€" Anything But Young campaign â€" intended to block a Young victory on the secâ€" ond or third ballot. ‘"He (Young) represents everyâ€" thing we threw out on the federal level.

In fact, they required the program be presented to committee by July 6th. The present 10â€"year program calls for 8,000 metres to be replaced. The new proâ€" gram will include all 12,000 metres of the older pipe. Marshall stressed community safety is not at risk. He showed committee members a section of pipe which suffered from "tuberculation" â€" a rusting on the inside which severely restricts water flow. New pipes are made of plastic and are a minimum of douâ€" ble the size of the old. A fire in an old section of Burlington last month was difficult for firefighters to battle because two connections to the watermain provided insufficient water flows to battle the blaze, said Burlington Fire Most of the 12,000 metres of cast iron watermains are in southern Halton, but older sections of other communities are also affected.
