G;as prices anger motor'its;g MPPs launching probe By IRENE GENTLE The Champion Pumnped-up gas prices have ignited fury in residents, says Halton MPP Ted Chudleigh. And in response, he and several other MPPs have launched an inlvesti-' gation into the issue. >Vater woes in.Homnby Homby bas been spiit in haif by water woes, says area resident and former provincial transportation minister Jim Snow. Tbat's because only somte of tbe ares is set to be servîced by Halton Region's upcoming water pipe project, hie charged. The $27 million project wiil bring lake water to Milton througb a large water pipe. Construction is poised to begin at the end of this year. But the arrivai of the pipe will only relieve the drought of some Homby resi- dents, said Mr. Snow.

And that bas neigb- bours on the north-east side of the street wondering what tbey have to do to gel in on the action.

Tbe probe bas been pitcbed in part to encourage the federal govemment to take up the cause, Mr. Chudleigb said.
