For over an hour Wednesday evening two 5url-Oak* airport commýitteemen faced a 'firing squad" of 32 area residents seho loudty citicized the site, cost, restrictions and apparent tack of need for the airport. Town counciltor William Re- aume and Oakvitle lawyer John Ham, members of tht commit- tee sopporting the airporî yen- ture, were questioned at length on various aspects of the air- port project. The ratepayers had earlier voiced objections to Oakville Councit, then at a planning -board hearing which approved rezoning of tht lands for an airport, and then again aI a coanit meeting two weeks ago. Needes to say, none of the residents came away tram the Wednesday meeting with changed minds. In tact. mot -favored a pub- lic plebiscite on Oakvittes share of the ensts. and ctaimed tan- payers in the rest of thetlown dont know how espensive th project wilI be. Oakvitte is scheduling 575,000 this year ta- wards the eost ot buying the necessary tand (hall the origin- ai estimate af $150,000 which ratcpayers dlaim is an unreatis- tic figure) and annual maint-, enance couts are expected ta bc around 10 cents per capita for bath Oaksiltt and Burting- ton residents (lthough sup- porters dlaim tht airport will bc self-supporting wilhin five years). Tise ateprt committeemen. n answer ta questions. said tht need for an airport was shown by a survey conducted in the arta. which showed 38 irtns and individuats wouid use sscb a tocat airport. Tht site is ideat, they said, and couid bcexepanded in a south, east or west direction at a later date if necessary. They said ontly welt water services would bc needed for ftush toi- tets and "- a bit of mater for planes". Tht airport coutd han- dte smatt freight planes but mas mainty nteded for eseco- tive ptanes for local industries. They pointed out tht Feder- at ýDeparîment of Transport has given tht venture a high priority and tht DOT. would construct tht runways and buitdings if tht two tosens pur- chase tht land and bandit tht maintenance costs. The buitd- ings mould produce some tax- es, they said, and neighboring prnperttes mould be morth more htecause of their proxim- isy ta tht airport.

Please treat us su me can sua- vive, not sit here and farm for tht rest of aur lives." Some worried about build- ing it the district belng ton higis for airpori standards.
