2 The Canadian statesman, Bowmanville. February 4. 1976 Regional Budget Cut Down Four Per Cent About $63,000 was cut froni the 1976 departmental budgel by the Durham regiona] finance committee on Jan. 29 after an estimate of $3 million was made earlier. The substantial eut in the budget represents a lowering of the 1976 increase in the budget from 16 per cent to 12 per cent over the 1975 budget. 1Finance Commissioner JackGartley said that earlier reports of a 22 per cent increase In the 1976 budget, over last year's budget were misleading because they did not consider that a portion of the budget was for items which the department was responsible for but over which it did not have control. The budget cut also de- creases a gap between a 10 per cent inflationary limit set by senior levels of government and actual increases in the 2SuLTENTEmTAiNmENT Warning: Some scenes of brutal violence and, coarse languaqe in this film may offend some people.

A major cut was made by the committee when they decided to reduce the amount of money that was to be given to convention expenses by one-third. Coun. Gerry Emm (Whitby) tried to have the committee cut convention costs complete- ly out of the budget by having the convention propos ai dropped, but the committee was opposed to Coun. Emm's proposal. Official Plan (From page one) comments from the public were accepted in the form of written submissions and were read by a 31-member regional council. The committee has received 200 written sub- missions since asking for them from the public in the third stage of the Official Plan, a committee member said. People were also encour- aged to ask questions at the presentations given by the committee, he said. The audience was told at last Thursday's presentation that submissions from the publie would still be accepted by the committee. Regional commissioner of p lanning and deveiopmeat, Mr.Bill McAdams gave an introduction to the presenta- tion, and outlined the first three stages of the develop- ment of an Official Plan. December of 1976 is the deadline given by the pro- vincial government for the Regional Council to develop an Official Plan, he said. The regional government first accepted the challenge of deve opingaplan three years ago, he cadded. In stage one, the committee examined the region and its resources and attempted to indicate issues of concern such as competing land uses, matters related to the physi- cal and natural environment of the region and patterns of urban development, he said. n stage two, Mr. McAdams said the committee was trying to establish future goals for the region. . Stage three outlined the choices for the direction of policy as they related to the goals of the region, he said. After the presentation of the fourth stage of the Official Plan in the form of slides, the committee opened the meet- ing to questions from the audience. One person in the audience asked what happened to a written submnission When the committee received it. A member of the panel said that all submissions were read and given consideration, but not al received 100 per cent consideration because it was impossible to please everyone. In the final analysis, decisions concerning the plan would be left to the Regional Council.

Mayor Declares Feb. 16th 'Heritage Day' Coun. Allan Pilkey (Oshawa) told the committee that the cuts were preliminary and that later on the commit- tee could review the budgets of other departments. Mr. Paul Romanchuk gave the committee the chance to make the largest single-item cut in the budget when he informed them that a review in- the technical services branch of the treasury depart- ment could be reduced from $49,000 to $22,000, a total cut of $27,0Ô0. 1 Plannin Director, Dr. Mofeed Michael said that a hamlet-study was in progress and that questions concerning the conversion of villages to hailets would be answered i the study. In response to a guestion about municipal zonng by- laws, panel members toid the audience that after the Offic- ial Plan was implemented, zoning bylaws would have to conform to the Official Plan, but that existing land uses would remain the same. One member of the Plan- ning and Development Com- mittee said there was a possibility that the inter- change from the 401 on to Liberty St. could close down if a proposal to widen 401 was implemented. Mayor Garnet Rickard ask- ed that council go on record as oposing any attempt by the 1inistry of Transport and Communications to close the interchange there. The mayor also asked for assurance from the panel that the hamlets would not be changed by the plan if greater urbanization was encouraged. Dr. Michael said that eople in hamlet areas woud not have the sophisticated ser- vices that Oshawa wouid be getting and that generally they would not be charged for services that they did not use.

The Reid brothers are in ssession of a signed receipt ro ormer buildng inspect- or Charles Warren dated Nov. 21, 1975, at which time Mr., Warren granted approval for them to develop the miniature golf and driving range on the site. Mr. Warren's approval, t according to the Reid bro- thers, was granted on the basis that the zoning bylaw for that area of land would permits a golf course to be built there.c On that basis, they proceed- r ed to arrange for a lease on the r land, purchase of some equip- 0 ment, including a pre-fab s garage, and 48 dozen golf 'A alls. With the plan being to use the pre-fab garage structure as a "pro-shop", the Reids approached Hydro to have an F e ectrical feed run to it and C were told they would have to ti o back to the building t! epartment for approval of r the setback. C On doing so, they were t advised by Mr. Wight that the zoning does not permit de- C velopment of a miniature golf b and-or driving range, but only or a golf course as such. o] The claim of the Reid re brothers is that it is not their ce fault that Mr. Warren did not tic give thorough enough exam- Ji ination of the zoning bylaw ci prior to approving their pro- an posal on which they have now 1 involved considerable invest- M ment. op Council had referred the an matter to their. soliçitor Ed wO McNeely for a report, which $1 they were in receipt of w] Monday night, tru The apparent focus of Mr. McNeely's report is that the Co bylaw speaks foi itself. thE Being permitted to read Mr. VIcNeely's report, the bro- hers voiced strong objection o one portion which inferred suspicion that they had not sai een given the clearance they ast laimed by Mr. Warren. altE With council voting in con- sid :urrence with Mr. McNeely's me report, the only course of opi iction now left to the Reids is bal ipplication for the zoning soc HAIRPORT Styling 133 Church St. - Bowmanville Phone 623-4901 OPEN SIX DAYS A WEEK - Monday to Saturday We would like to introduce the "SUPERSTYLER" LINDA LOCKHART For an Appointment Call Anytime Thursday - Friday - Saturday - Introducing the rest of Our Staff: RUDI, WENDY, TINA, DIANNE, (ERNIE and ENZO) Weekend Appointments Necessary amendment, a lengthy a costly process.

The motion for an extension request carried on the vote. Counlcil's Protest (From page one) Granby site which lies within the Town of Newcastle bound- aries. The Port Granby site is that presently used by Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. for disposal of their waste, but council is concerned that the fill from Port Hope is of a more dangerous nature than that being dumped at Port Granby under today's standards. en n The matter was dealt with by the Finance Committee Friday afternoon as the town solicitor EdMcNeely was present at the meeting for another matter. A resolutionof council had requested that, if investiga- tion by Dîrector of Works Jack Dunham revealed the Port Hope fill is being dumped at Port Granby, Mr. McNeely take ail action necessary to bring it to a stop forthwith. Clerk Joe Mclroy advised that, although .Mr. Dunham had not submitted a formai report, the Works Director had by telephone conversa- tion, received admission from the parties responsible that the fil is being taken to Port Granby. Coun. Ivan Hobbs comment- ed that it appears they're takirg it from one area, when they know it is hot, and puttlng it ere. Coun. Hobbs aiso believes the material is being placed doser to the lake than should be permitted. Althoug Mr. McNeely advised council that Eldorado does have a permit for dumping at the Port Granby site, the question that remains vague is whether such c- ensing permits the contamîn-. ated fill from Port Hope or is issued under today's stand-, ards. At the suggestion of the clerk, the committee a reed that representatives of the Ministry and Eldorado as well as such others interested as' Pollution Probe, be invited to attend the next council ses- sion. Coun. Hobbs also comment- ed that the situation should be of interest to Ontario Hydro with respect to their Darling- ton Nuclear Generating sta- tion proposal. "I have to know where they're going to put it,' he said. To that, Coun. Cowman suggested the answer is in the acquiring by Hydro of some 1,200 acres of land and that she understands there will be pits, on the site where the spent fuel material will be dumped and moved elsewhere later.

Tordate, the government have given legislation to that effect second reading and although final reading is not likely to be made in time this year, it should be a recognized holiday in 1977. Mayor Rickard has meanwhile officially declared Feb. 16 as Heritage Day in the Town of Newcastle for this year. respect to the end of Feb. being imposed as a deadline on them when they had not received word earlher on the new legislation affecting them. For this reason thçy asked Mr. Cooper whether applica- tion for an extension of timé might be granted in order that they would not be faced with a loss of revenue through can- celled events until a new vote on the matter could be held. Although he did not commit himself on how long such an extension might be, Mr. Cooper did indicate that if the town council supported the request for such an extension, with the intention of holding a vote, some leeway likely would be granted. There was some question of how soon council could meet to discuss the matter to which Ma or Rickard suggested that- as thyhave a special meeting scheduled for Saturday morn- ing to discuss Mr.Milani's $3-million offer, that a brief discussion on it might fit in at that time to forward the request for an extension in time to the Liquor Board. t t q a a p a tr h b a b p pi g v V L we fr chi With Planning by Doug Taylor tem of zoning byl While the bureaucratic sys- planning has man clutch yet anotherj ance of beer and wine but not into the vicious c liquor supposedly' took place amendment applic some time prior to 1948.
