Tbore la no sudi hilng as a popular choie for a saniiary land- fil1 sita or dump. Authors of the .Solld Waste Management Study for iHaltosi. Raglan were no doubt sware of that, aven befora they started the study two yesrs ago. Rasidents of Ésquealng andthe Ashgrove area in particular will need a lot of persuadlng however before thea logic of trucing the great bulk of garbage from, the south ta thc no&tl la ever accepted. lhe fact that 80 par cent of thc ragion's population la i Oakvlle or Burlington la a point lakealiore politiciana bclabored durig dis- cussions on the location 0f tamn- porary ragional hesdquartoea.

Thc report sugesta Uic raglan la ot; qulta ready hi gat into any reclamatlon projecta on a major sale. That flic spectre 0f cities buried under their own trash, of pollution biotting ont the sun for waeks on end, 0f marine life dying because of polluted occans is becoming; more irosi. lI Uic pait, It vias marely an ugly vision i somebody's imagina- tion. Toay, the dangers of pollution hava becoma aIl to oh- 'nous. One docan't have ta look very far ta find causes: First, Uic worl' popttei&iagrowln_î ai n oaipreccdentad rate. Sccandly, we hava not disciplincd ourselves hi avoid pollution. Sa far, ardinary people cvcrywhere have ot begun ta realize thc devastating impact of filUi in aur air and aur watar, 0f mountains of wrccked cars, bath in citica and aven in thc countryside. Noise pollution la now cansidcred a definita healUi hazard. "Good morning". "Whst's gaod about it?" cama Uic rcply. Suddenly we rebclled at Uic response. Thei sunf was ahining, both of us were healthy and walking around. Neither of us werc hungry. We had cmploymcnt. Both of us hadl friands and famlly.

Thay argued it waa o anas fault that Milton wauld have ta cart garbage and no sub- sidy or compensation was warranted.

The more consumption, Uic more pollution. Urban plannars must pursuc the concept of satellite cities-connectcd i future years by rapid transit systama of various kinds.
