Street off Bayfield eet as rent one downthedrainppa General committee has recommended the request by Kozlov be declined With it goes Kozlovs dreams for two 16storey buildings comprising about 300 apartment units The city hs made horrendous mistakes along Bayfield Street in the past and must not con tinue to make those errors said Ald Ross Stephens dont think we owe Mr Kozlov anything he said We should look at as low density as possible on Bayfield Street Ald Fred Ruemper said he pm strongly supported planning board recommendation which also turned down the request He said that if the city approv ed the high density apartment development surrounding lands would also be likely changed to that category The result he said could be an ex cess of 1100 units SHOPPING MALL T00 With the

is used must be increased if the nor thern part of Simcoe County is to benefit fully from the tourist dollar says MP Doug Lewis PCSimcoe North In letter to the federal minister of the environment Lewis says the reduction in hours of use for 1979 over 1978 figures has hurt the area he represents in parliament The tourist industry is an important sector of the economy of Simcoe North Many millions of dollars are in vested in tourist facilities and many thousands of people are employed in theindustry and related industries Lewis said in the letter dated October The reduction in total lock operating hours andin sum mer lock operating hours have severely affected the potential tourist trade ped discharged espec The TrentSevem Waterway stretches 240 miles from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay and passes through Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching which meet near Orillia Lewis said the number of complaints received concern ing the hours of operation sug gests substantial increase in vessal movement would be the ultimate result of any change The majority of the pro vinces sevenplus million in habitants live within 200 miles of the system and Lewis said his request is that optimum use be made of the facilities Included with the letter to minister John Fraser is report by GE MacDonald superintendent of the water way which outlines changes that have been requested by users of the system that Lewis is advocating pm closing time dur ing the summer months hurts the Friday night boat traffic ially from Toronto yet light is available for several more hours on average The 430 pm closing time from September to Thanksgiv ing has similar effect on the fall movement of boats Sixthseven per cent of the boaters polled at 12 locks on the system favored the extended hours of 1978 Many people have asked that the locks be opened earlier in the day MacDonald said in his sum mary that the department does not have the money nor the per sonnel to handle large in crease in

provinces environment minister for longawaited water and sewage system along parts of its lakeshore the townships clerk said Tuesday Richard Groh said the township is expecting to receive letter from Dr Harry Parrott within week confirming his ministrys approval of the pro ject And within month Groh said the township expects another letter outlining the grants available to help finance the system The project which will stretch along the lakeshore from the First line to the 12th line will be completed in three stages Groh said 18 MILLION The first stage will cost about $18 million Groh said and will include sewage treatment and water filtration plants as well as service to the area between the Seventh and Ninth lines The second and third stages will progressively spread north and south between the first and 12th lines but Groh said he could not give an accurate cost for these two stages at this time He said 1982 is realistic target date for the project to begin but it has been in the works for the past five years pending ministry approval The question of sewage and water system in the area however has been matter of concern to the Simcoe County Health Unit for much longer than that said its assistant director Larry Slomka Slomka said the health unit has been advocating system there since about 1970 when tests indicated that 55 per cent of the wells in the area were contaminated by sewage and other nutrients PUSHING FOR SYSTEM Slomka said it took couple of years to convince Innisfil of the oxamlnor with Ald Arthur The more people there are the more argument for saying there should be more commer cial development he said The city may actually undermime the downtown revitalization project as result he said the problem but the township has been pushing for the system since then The project has suffered several delays because of fun ding he said and because the ministry wanted an en vironmental impact hearing in to the matter due to the closeness of the
