The site is just to the south of Birdseye Park and the building itself will sit where the Griffen House is now located. The house will be removed by 'the Township by Sep- tember 1. The contract with Sherwood calls for a 16-week construction period, so if work gets underway as planned early in September, it is highly likely the new building will be open to the public early in 1982. Dump (From page 1) dump is filling up too quickly, and once it is filled, Township residents are going to have to pay more to get rid of their garbage if it has to be trucked several miles. As it is now, the Scugog dump has an expected life of six or seven years, and Mayor Taylor feels that shutting on Saturday after- noons will curtail some of the commercial dumping, thus extending the life of the dump. Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm supported the idea of closing at noon on Saturdays, provided reasonable notice is given to the general public. And Ward 2 councillor also spoke in favour of the early closing, saying "there is no reason the people can't get their garbage to the dump on Saturdays before noon." MP blasts rail move (From page 1) train which makes a stop in Myrtle is used by commuters from this area, and in his statement, - Mr. Lawrence said that while it is not considered a "commuter - run," many people have located their homes and employment to take advan- tage of this service." At least one petition urging that the service be continued has been sent to the trans- portation minister, and Mr. Lawrence noted that just a few . weeks ago, A.R. Campbell, vice president of VIA's Ontario operations said rumours the service would be shut down "were completely without foundation." The reasons given for the shutdown of this and other passenger runs economical, a point that Mr. Lawrence questions. "Frequently, there is standing room only. One must suspect the service is either very close to justifying itself economic- ally or would have done so in - the near future if given the choice." bY Leh!
