Funds Gr Communi A recommendation of the Oct. 14 Finance Committee received approval of Town Council Oct. 20 for payment to the Newcastle Community Hall Board the requested amount of $9,125 under Capital Expenditures, "subject to the Treasurer checking out the details before payment and if in accordance with the bud- get." At the Finance Committee Coun. Ivan Hobbs expressed the opinion that the board should be required to send a bill to council indicating the amount but Treasurer Joe Descent advised, they are handling their own funds. Coun. Ken Lyall, who strongly opposed the recent paving of the side lawn at the ail for parking, inquired as to how much is being taken from some other areas of their budget to pay for the paving. Coun. Ann Cowman said it was in the $5,000 area and Mayor Rickard added that the board bas told council when they met together they had given priority for the paving anted to ty Centres over washrooms. Approval of the payment to the village hall brought Mayor Rickard to question where the people from Tyrone Hall were as they apparently were to have made a report to the committee that day. Coun. Don Allin then filed a request on behalf of the Tyrone Hall project that council grant a sum of $4,867. for payment of an extra cost to change the 200 amp. system to a 400 amp. system in order to accommodate air conditioni- ing, the amount to be reim- bursed to council by the Hall Board. The committee approved Coun. Allin's request and forwarded it to council which also approved the payment on Monday. A final community centre matter brought a recommen- dation that the Committee Chairman and The Treasurer draw up an agreement with Brownsdale Community Centre for the operation of the Hall. Council Unresolved On Orono No apparent firm decision was reached by council re- cently on the complaint from the Orono Chamber of Com- merce regarding parking pro- blems there and in Newcastle village. Coun. Ken Lyall suggested that the ticket officer from Bowmanville might be in- structed to at certain times each week enforce the rulings in Orono and Newcastle which with advance notice in the media he felt would cure the problem. Mayor Rickard, however, felt that this would be too much of a load for one person deserve to pay less for car and fire insuranœ They do at Abstainers'. Because our experience has shown that abstainers have fewer accidents, fewer home fires. That's why we can in- sure for less.

The Mayor believes that there is enough of a vacuum in Bowmanville now without removing the person from here entirely at set times. He felt that concur- rence with Mr. Lyall's sugges- tion would require that a second full time person be hired. Coun. Kirk Entwisle sug- gested that council already hasa resolution on the books for the parking attendant from Bowmanville to spend certain times in Orono and Newcastle but was advised that this idea had apparently not worked well in the past. Mayor Rickard suggested it would not work as once the attendant had been in one location on a certain day and issued tickets, everyone would know that a return the next day would be bighly unlikely. Coun. Lyall suggested that Bowmanville is reaping the benefits of the parking en- forcement, while the cost is being born by the whole Town of Newcastle. Mr. Lyall indicated that revenue in 1974 had been some $4,000 and expenditures some $10,000 but was challenged by Coun. Ivan Hobbs who later in the meeting supplied figures to the end of September 1975. Mr. Hobb's figures advise that receipts from the parking meters to Sept. 30 this year total $15,478 combined with interest of $1,100 for a total income of $16,578. Added to thgt is the income from parking fines for the same period which total $3,682 for a grand total of $20,260 less expenses of $10,104 for a balance of $10,156 with a total in reserve funds of $23,738. Advertising helps good things happen. Region Pli At the conclusion of a meeting on October 15 of Newcastle Council, Newcastle Planning Advisory Committee and Regional Planning Staff in Hampton, 'Coun. Ivan Hobbs expressed the opinion that little had been accomplished. The councillnr's nninion was expressed when quibbling be- gan over whether or not to hold another similar meeting in the near future and when to schedule it. Regional Planner Dr. Mo- feed Michael advised that the council of Newcastle have the right to summon the Regional staff anytime they wish such a meeting. Coun. Kirk Entwisle indicat- ed he could not see "what would be done then that has not been done here tonight. What would we review then, he asked. Ma yor Rickard suggested the discussion at a second meeting would cover the same material with Coun. Hohbs The Canadian Statesman Bowmanville. October 29. 1975 3 anners adding, "yes, only better, I hope, as I can't see what we've accomplished here tonight." Çoun. Hobbs felt a full day should have been allocated for such a meeting. Planning Director George Howden, essentially question- ed his Regional counterparts, inquired "where do we go from here?" No reply was forthcoming. In some way, comments referred to the loss of the Pickering airport which led Coun. Hobbs to add a final remark that "by the time we get the official plan adopted it will be as obsolete as the airport. With the remarks pertaining to rather different council affairs ended, the date of Monday, October 27 was agreed upon for the next meeting at 9:30 a.m. in the Regional Planning Offices, the town's committee of the whole regularly scheduled for that time t Landfill Site Costs Concern Committee Considerable discussion evolved at a recent meeting of Newcastle council's Fin- ance Committee over the cost of landfill sites within the municipality. Somewhat unusually in agreement, Coun. Kirk Ent- wisle and Coun. Ken Lyall were of the opinion that a dupliction of payments for dumping is occurring. The concern arose on re- ceipt of a bill from the Regional Works Department in the amount of $10,900 apparently charged on a tonnage rate. The concern applied to two private sites where Coun. Entwisle and Coun. Lyall believed the owner of one in LONG SATJLT intended for last week Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Cameron, Pontypool, and Fen- wick Laird, Tyrone, were Monday supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cameron. Mr. and Mrs. Cornish were Saturday evening visitors at the Cameron's. Mr. and Mrs. R. Cameron were Sunday supper guests-of Mr. and Mrs, M. Kellett, Janetvlle and were Sunday evening guests of Mr. and Mrs Perry Grandell, Black- stock and on Monday evening they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Cameron Pontypool. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Gib- son, Cambray were Saturday visitors of his brother Mr. and Mrs. Rye Gibson. The R. Gibson's called on Mr. and Mrs. Bob Speer, Bowmanville on Tuesdav. particular, who picks up garbage, is charging the people for the service while the town is also paying the Region. Committee Chairman, Bruce Tink suggested that the bill was in order and would have to be approved for payment which it was. Mr. Tink however added that the only way he could see to cut this cost would be to close the other two and use only the Darlington site. At the Darlington site the user pays for dumping waste material, except for small loads, while Town dumping is charged back by the Region and in turn paid by the taxpayers through an area rate. Mayor Rickard argued against closing the two sites, as he previously did at the Regional level, due to the size of the municipality. The Mayor believed that a decision to use only the Darlington site would result in people who have some 15 or so miles to travel to it, refusing to and merely dumping their garbage along the roadside. The result of the discussions was an approved motion that Coun. Entwisle and Coun. Cowman be appointed as a committee to research and contact the operators of the disposal sites and report back to-the Finance Committee as soon as possible. At Council Monday Coun. Lyall moved deletion of the item from the finance -com- mittee report along with a second item for $35,814.51 that also pertained to Regional BUYNEW CANADASA BONDS New Canada Savings Bonds - one of the best things you can do with your money.

Montgôm- ery united in marriage Irene Lillian, daughter of Mr. and charges for landfill site use. Coun. Entwisle, again agreeing with Coun. Lyall that the matter is a "sole Regional responsibility" seconded the motion whichwas lost on a tie vote which Mayor Rickard ruled defeated. Coun. Lyall insists that the Region "has not had the guts to set capital costs and user charges" which he says they are still playing with, expect- ing the town to do the collecting in the meantime. Coun. Lyall further suggest- ed that the town could hire a taxi to take individual waste to the Darlington site as cheaply while Mayor Rickard again contradicted that the space is needed and additional area for the future should be con- sidered. ~er Wedding Mrs. George Mercer, Kendal and Alan Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Walker, R.R.2 Orono.
