Newmarket that a buffer zone between an urban and a rural municipality isnt necessary im plying that East Gwillimbury should plan its own development around its villages and not try to glue them to

area Or at best be forced relocate in an attempt to keep their jobs due to the Ontario Highway Transport Board granting Greyhound a license to operate over the most profitable routes previously exclusively serviced by Gray Coach The Ontario Highway Transport Board was requested Mr James Show Minister of Trans port and Communi cations to review their decision On July 21 the board released their report to the minister recommending its decision on Nov 1976 should be affirmed Because of the decision and the probability the Ontario cabinet will uphold the boards report we would Buffalo to
