Council received a propo- sal from the regional works department outlining an area bounded roughly by Prince Albert Road, Reach Road, Lake Scugog and Highway 7A for the study. Council added four more- sections to be studied. A small piece of land on Lake * Scugog owned by Rumble Hill developers was added as well as the proposed Athica industrial subdivision. It is located between Ontario Street and the Lake. Also added was an area west of Simcoe Street near Scugog Street which is by Vanedwards Invest- ments. The final area added was another proposed in- dustrial subdivision in the north end of town north of Concession 7. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said the study will outline the area that can be serviced by enlarging the existing facil- ities. He said the study will be carried out by the region and shouldn't take too long to complete. The study could act as a Mr. Ballard said that once council had made its decis- ion it should take a firm line and tell developers that "this is how it is going to be." Mr. Malcolm said there were three ways to go about development and that the first would be to hold all development until there is enough water available for complete development. The second method would be for council to decide on developments one at a time, while the third would be to approve many developments but only let 10 percent of each development take place each year. Uxbridge liquor, regulations Eating establishments in the Durham region township of Uxbridge will now be able to apply for a license to serve liquor and beer with their meals. In a referendum on Mon- day in which only 29 per cent of the voters turned out, it was decided that lounges that serve beer and liquor guideline for the develop- Perry, the ment of Port mayor said. Before taking the proposal Malcolm went to the Chamber of Com- to council, Mr. merce for advice. Mr. Malcolm chamber that told the he needed After being confronted by a delegation of 30 Cart- wright Township residents, Scugog township council made a quick decision to do as the delegation asked and end garbage collection for most of the former township of Reach. Bill Ferguson, a spokes- man for the delegation said . the residents had made their feelings clear on other occasions and that the group was present to hear councils decision. Under the present arrangement which expires November 1, garbage coll- ection is provided for every- one in Cartwright and it is paid as part of the mill rate. Several members of the delegation said that this system discriminates against the farmer. One man said he had paid nothing in 1973 and had no garbage pick up and then been forced to 'pay $90. the next year, for pick up he didn't want. Late this year, a petition with over 400 signatures and representing about 80 per cent of the affect people, was presented to council stating that no garbage collection was wanted but council went ahead and approved pick up collection. Coun. Don Frew said that he had. proposed a system whereby there would be collection for everybody in the former township but it would be at a fixed rate. Mr. Frew said if there wasn't township -wide col- lection, there would be garbage thrown all over the side roads. Coun. Reg Rose said that the ideal solution would be to start a system in which urban residents paid more and got more services than rural residents. Council made it clear that it did not intend to end gar- bage collection along the Lake. This service has been provided for almost 20 years. As soon as council had decided the issue the entire delegation left, despite an invitation to stay from the mayor. Beer stolen from van at arena Twelve cases of beer were stolen from a van parked behind the Port Perry Arena on Saturday night. Prov- incial Police said each case contained 24 bottles and that the van was owned by a Port Perry resident. But police would not say who that resident was. In another incident, police report a break and enter at Brian's Supertest in Port Perry, in which two Mag Wheels and two tires were stolen. Police also received three complaints of prowlers from the Port Perry area. On person has been charged by Whitby provin- cial police after N.S.F. cheques were cashied at the Port Perry 1.G.A., Pentland Jewellers, Brian Supertest and the Canadian Tire Store, ~ all in Port Perry.

For the vote, Uxbridge township was divided into its three former municipalities.
