The surge ahead by the liberals was at the expense of the Conservatives and the NDP parties. In rich Ontario the electorate did not take to the Conservative price and wage freeze. Times in the province is just too good to upset the apple cart wîth a freeze. In British Columbia the NDP apparently ran into a Provincial back-lash to the party wîth the votes going to the Conservatives and the Liberals. The decision. was certainly made in Ontario and B.C. Quebec held for the liberals while the western province went and continued strongly for the.conservatives. Theelection, especially in Ontario, proved that Trudeau was not scorned as in the past nor does the press have the power to sway the electorate, as is often felt. We believe also that the people of Canada have become tired of minority government and the constant threat of taking the government to an election. Locally theresuit was predictable as we stated last week that Lawrence would again be the winner but with a reduced plurality. The liberal organization ran to a nçw low durîng the Past election in 1972 and it must be remembered that both Beckett and Walkerwere not that well known in the area which enhanced the position of Lawrence insuring him against the trend that was evident in Ontario. The'people-have spoken and it is for a majority gOVernment. Couùncil1.worried over sett 1ing precedent, The council of the Town of Newcastle at their meeting last week was faced with a problem that bas come before ,many of the counicils in former years. Luciean Michaels appear- ing before council on behaîf of Domingos Fernandes stated that Fernandos had purchas- ed a piece of property in the former Township of Darling- ton in 1966 with the intention of building his house on it. The building would not face on a 'improved road' but rather would be on an 'unimproved road.' He has been refused a permit due to this fact., Michaels stated that his client was prepared to bring the road up to standard and had'obtained prices for such work costing about $700.00. Counillor Lyaii stated that any man who wanted to build his own home should be given somie consideration. The majority of council however feit the granting of a building permit in this case couid set a precedent. "We've- got at ieast 100 othier situations like this in Newcastle," said Mayor Rickard, pointing out that if the town allowed Mr. Fernan- des to improve the road so he could get a permit to build, the town would be responsible for the street's maintenance... and the same would probably be true in other cases. If council opened ail the road alloývances inthe town, said Mayor Rickard, the roads budget would have to be increased more than the town couid adequately ýhandie to mnaintain them.1 Coun. Don Wearn said it would seem likely many of the other land owners in the. new town, faced with a simfilar situation,. would undertake the same action to. get their homes built, creating a chain reaction that would cost the town a fortune in road maintenance. , Balancing the need for new housing and Mr. Fernandes' wish to build at no cost to the town against the precedent that might be set, council simpiy decided to send the matter to the planning advis- ory committe e and then to the works committee for consid- eration. Mobile, home park approved near London A new mobile 'lne cetir ment park has been approved at Grand Bend, Ont., 35 miles northwest of London, it is announced by Max Rice of Rice Construction Co. Ltd., who in partnership with the Royal Bank, is proposing a similar park near Newcastle. Called Grand Cove Estates, the new park will consist of over 700 mobile homes in a fully integrated commnunîty. Work has started on water- mains and pavements and homes will be available for sale in about ten days. The councils of both the Stephen Township and the Village of Grand Bend were enthusiastic about our plans," said Mr. Rice. They are convinced the new park will be a boon to the community, and in effect what they said to us was, 'How soon can you get started?' They are looking forward to the influx of responsible citizens who will make a contribution to the local economny. Mlr. Rice said that the new park is substantiaily the same as the first one the organizat- ion opened three years ago at Str@jid, near Barrie, and the one proposed for the vicinity of Wilmot Creek, between Newcastle and Bowmanville on the shores of Lake Ontario. "In ail three," he said, "The principle is one in, which residents buy the style of mobile home they want, out of four models available, then lease a plot of land in the park. In return, ail services such as water, sewage, snow- removal, and TV cable are provided, ail wires are laid underground and an exclusive country-club atmosphere is created by provision of a community centre and other. recreation facilities such as shuffleboard courts and heat- ed swimming pools." Residents, said Mr. Rice, will not be just pensioners, but people with a reasonable amount of income and assets. "As proof, the Royal bank advises that the deposits at Sandycove Acres at Stroud are nine times more per person than at any of their other branches." Mr. Rice said that the joint applciation of 'the bank and his company to start work on the 273-acre Wilmot Creek Cove is now before the Newcastle Planning Advisory Commission. t was first proposed to the Township of Clarke, 18 months ago. The council approved the plan, in principle last September, and in December it recommended that'the new Newcastle Reg- ional Council pass enabling legislation. As with the mobile home parks at Stroud and Grand Bend, Wilmot Creek Cove is laid out like a village, with winding limes leading to a central plaza, and recreation facility. Activities are arran- ged by an elected body of residents. About haif of the park will be open space. Apart from the business the residents will bring to the merchants of the area, in the case of Wimot Creek Cove there would be approximately $500,000 in tax dollars collect- ed by the Town of Newcastle at the present rate of assess- ment. Mr. Rice said thatJudging fromn the quesionnaires answ- ered by visitors to themnodel unit in the Village, of New- castle, located in front of the Elmhusrt Hotel, the public is in favor of Wilmot Creek Cove. 0f 376 cards filled out by the many who have visited the site, ahl but six ansWered 'YES' to the question: "Do you be 1v haýt this tyvpe of park should bef bujlit ini the- Towri 4N0, ste?
