Most deplore south 401 hydro route The one-man Solandt com- mision resumed hearings in the Town of Newcastle last Wednesday with the first meeting being held in the Village of Newcastle. The purpose of the resumed hear- ings was to consider and accept opinions concerning the Sparling report which brought forth two further alternate hydro routes from Rossmount to Oshawa. The Sparling report sug- gests a 401 corridor route as well as a further Ganaraska route which would pass just south of the Durham-Ganar- aska forests. The commission heard many opinions that the line be kept from passing along the 401 corridor with most giving more approval to the so-called Ganaraska route. One dairy farmer in the south said 1e would be finished if the lines were to cross his dairy farm. COUNCIL MEMBERS SPEAK Mayor Garnet Rickard speaking for the Town of Newcastle council said that the southern route was unac- ceptable. He said the New- castile loam was some or me finest land for production in Canada. He also added that a corridor of hydro towers in the south would not be compatible with farm land or even industry. The Mayor pointed out that the Municipality would be submitting a brief to the nearmg when it mets in Kendal on the evening of Wednesday November 13th and at this time would make their proposals. Councillor Entwisle referr- ed the commission to the proposals of the Town of Newcastle council in regards of the proposed Darlington Hydro Generating Station. He placed before the commission a copy of the resolution of council asking for a meeting with hydro and which also called for a referendum of the residents of the town in the matter of the generating station. Councillor Ken Lyall called the exercise in debating thE alternate routes a 'sham' and said that hydro was going to put the line south along the lakefront. H1e urged the audience to write Premier William Davis and "his right bower" Energy Minister Darcy McKeough te build the power rlants un near (Continued page 3ý To purchase 57 acre Bowmanville marsh Alex Carruthers, M.P.P. for Durham, in a press release from Queen's Park, reports that the Honourable Leo Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources, announced the approval of a provincial grant in the amount of $22,000 to the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority for the proposed Bowmanville Har- bour Conservation Area. "The Authority has deve- loped a long range plan in which the acquisition of the Bowmanville Harbo.ur marsh is a first priority. The marshlands along the north shore of Lake Ontario which provide habitat for a large variety and number of wild- life species, are under con- stant pressure to be developed and modified and otherwise disturbed - usually with detr- imental effect on wildlife and wildlife habitat." "As the first phase in its land acquisition program, the Authority proposes to acquire a 57.3 acre parcel of land in the Town of Newcastle (form- erly the Town of Bowman- ville) for the establishment of this Conservation Area. This On Wednesday evening the new officers of the Orono Oddfellow's Lodge were in- Q stalled to office by an install- ing team from Port Perry.

It con- sists entirely of marshland which provides habitat for an abundance of wildlife with areas of aquatic vegetation interspersed with open water and small channels." "All member municipalit- ies will bear the Authority's share of the cost."

The decision to place the question on the ballot came at a recent meeting of couneil when they met with a repre- sentative of Canadian Pacific concerning the proposal to establish a landfill site in the township. At the time of the meeting Councillor Gra9 presented a number of recommendations if the proposal was to go ahead. Many of the proposals as suggest d by councillor Gray were said to be too costly or unwarranted by the CP representative at the meeting.

COUNCIL DECISION IRKS COUN. LYALL Wants to discuss a l correspondence SCounillor Lyall at a recent meeting of the Town of Newcaste council opposed a decision of council made when he was absent and on holi- days. Council in an effort to speed up their meetings had formulated a policy of handl- -ing correspondence in bylk with referral to the various committees of council. The Mayor at the recent meeting was suggesting the diposition of correspondence to the committees when councillor Lyall sought to have each piece of correspon- dence read out at council for discussion purposes or refer- ral. Mayor Rickard stated it had been a decision to council to handle correspondence in this manner and that he was only suggesting the disposit. ion of the correspondence.
