Oshawa councillor Mike Armstrong voted in favour of the freeze, and he said the work-load of Regional councillors is less than it was three or four years ago. He also said he would prefer to see municipal politicians get their pay hikes this year at the local level of govern- ment. Regional councillors have already received two pay cheques since the beginning of the year and had the Kolodzie-Taylor motion passed last week, they would | have had to refund the increase which has been on those first two cheques. Snowarama starts Sunday will be held at the Latcham Centre from 8:00 a.m. to "11700 a.m. this Sunday. Riders must have a mini- mum of $30 in pledges. Gasoline and a hot meal will be supplied free of charge. Organizers of the Snow- arama in Port Perry are hopeful that with the good snow conditions on the trails, this year's ride will raise in excess of $25,000. Last year, under less than ideal winter conditions, the ride netted about $16,000. Half of the net proceeds from Snowarama is turned over to service clubs in the area participating in the Easter Seal activities and the rest goes to the. Ontario Society for Crippled Child- ren. Your Once a Year Chance for Fixtures, Clocks, Brass, Q Approve plan for 100 acre addition to Scugog dump Durham Regional council last week approved plans for a detailed hydrogeology study as the first step in adding 100 acres to the Scugog dump located on Regional Road 8 just west of Port Perry. The detailed study, which will cost $28,000 will take about seven months to complete, will be done by the consulting firm of Gartner, Lee and Associates of Toronto. The 100 acres under study is immediately to the west of the existing dump site, and Durham Region has a one year option to purchase the additional land at a price of $220,000. Regional council learned last week that the detailed study will examine such things as water tables, sulphate and chloride 'conductivity, and samplings from Cawker's Creek in an effort to determine if the site is suitable for a garbage - dump. A report to council from the Region's Works depart- ment recommends the detailed study and states at the same time that the site has several advantages in that it is adjacent to an existing dump, is known to the public, and traffic would not be a problem as it is located on a-Regional Road. Noting that the existing Scugog landfill site will be filled up in about six years, the Works department report also states that a privately operated dump in Uxbridge Township "has a limited life expectancy." The report states that before the new Scugog site is LUKE'S COUNTRY STORE Queen Street - Port Perry ANNUAL GRATITUDE - SALE - One Day Only!

Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor told council last week hes in favour of the study on the proposed expansion, stating it is easier to add land to an existing dump than it is to open a complete- ly new dump. But Mayor Taylor wanted to know what steps are being taken to establish a new land-fill site for Durham Region. In response to the question Works department commiss- ioner Bill Twelvetrees said the Region will not need a new, major site for garbage for eight years at least. He said garbage from the south- ern part of Durham is being dumped in Metro Toronto under agreement for the next three years, and the Region has negotiated a land fill site in Whitby which should last another four years. . : Responding to a question about why Durham would have to spend $28,000 for a detailed study of the propos- ed site in Scugog, Mr. Twelvetrees said the work is very sophisticated, and the opinion of consulting experts carries more weight at hear- ings. "Establishing a new site can be a very difficult process', he told council. "It is important that all preliminary work be carried out. We would look pretty foolish spending $220,000 and then finding out that the site is not suitable for land-fill."" he stated. Bette a wn -- om i i -- a -- -- main ----
