Redmond seeks OMB hearing â€" to protect sites Enumerators began to make their rounds of Waterloo homes yesterday in preparation for the municipal and school board elections to be held on Nov. 8. They plan to call at each residence in the region to check basic information required to determine: each resident‘s eligibility to vote, the allocation of education property taxes between the public and separate school boards, the distribution of provinâ€" cial grants to local governments, the preparation of tax bills and population information needed .or other municipal programs. â€" s Residents will be asked for the name age, property status (owner or tenant), school support and residency <of each member of the household. This year, each resident will also be given the opportunity to be included on a list of electors for Frenchâ€"language schools. * When the enumerator calls, residents are asked to check the information on the Notice to see if it is correct. If not, they are asked to make the necessary changes. If no one is at home, a Notice will be left. If changes are necessary, the corrected Notice should be mailed, using the preâ€"adâ€" dressed postage prepaid envelope which accompanies the Notice. + will be THIS WEEK INSIDE However, the univerâ€" sity earlier this year asked the city for, and was granted, a zoning change which would allow the building of manufacturing faciliâ€" ties related to the planned research comâ€" ponent.

According to Redâ€" mond ‘"there is one documented site on the UW campus, two other reported sites on the north campus, two peâ€" ripheral sites nearby and the possibility of oneâ€"half dozen other sites being found on the campus." Redmond, who is president of the local chapter of the Ontario Archeological Society and has worked for the archeological conserâ€" vation program, asked council to require the University to conduct an archeological surâ€" vey of the lands and ‘"upon identification of sites (to) ensure preâ€" servation or salvage of said sites." ‘"Why destroy someâ€" thing without deterâ€" mining what is there and what can be learned from it," Redâ€" mond said. Such a survey, he said, would take three days to complete at a cost to the university of approximately $3,500, oneâ€"half of which could be paid by the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Redmond said that he has met with univerâ€" sity officials requestâ€" ing that the inventory be done, but learned only recently that UW had decided not to unâ€" dertake such a survey (by a qualified consulâ€" tant). Redmond told counâ€" cil that he "has no wish to stall the project," adding that "a deferral for submitting this to the OMB could be worked out if this conâ€" dition is required," beâ€" fore development could proceed. â€" â€"Waterioo council Tuesday voted not to accede to Redmond‘s Sandi‘s in dinner theatre «»SEE PAGE 14 (Continued on page 10) it was a case of mixed emotions for Geoffrey Tiffin on hearing of his victory in the annual Labor Day baby contest held during Kâ€"W and District Labor Council‘s ‘Picnic in the Park‘ at Waterloo Park Monday.
