tee last week It represents an approximate 45 per cent increase over 1979 rates $488 per tonne fee had been originally recommended but was dropped following concerns expressed by the Barrie Manufac turers Association It was the full increase which Ald Fred Ruemper wanted to see remain He said that with the decision of the $350 increase council would have abolished the user pay concept and it would be nothing more than fiction He won support from Ald Alex Arthur who said that while the increase to $488 would not be easy for industries it would be justice to have them pay that rate
