Joel Aldred, a former broadcaster who owns a farm and general store on Scugog Island made the comments at a meeting of Township council Monday afternoon. Reading carefully from a prepared five- page text, Mr. Aldred stated that Mayor Taylor's involvement in a proposed subdivision on Scugog Island 'should not be tolerated." "It is not my inten- tion," he continued, "to question the integrity of the Mayor. However, as an elector, I still believe that the Mayor should divest himself of his con- troversial subdivision in- terests now...or resign his office." Prior to the start of Mr. Aldred's comments to council, Mayor Taylor vacated the mayor's chair,-but he remained in the council chambers to hear what was being said. Following the address by Mr. Aldred, which lasted about ten minutes, Ward 1 councillor Neil Hunter said flatly, *"if | believe #rat a fellow member (of council) has a conflict, then it would be my duty to charge him" (in a court of law). Mayor Taylor is finan- cially involved in a pro- posed subdivision at Stephenson's Point on Scugog Island.

He declin- ed further comment.

"I feel that 1 have disclosed my financial interest and declared my conflict in an open and honest manner to the residents of Scugog Township. "*As an elected representative, I'm also a resident, tax-payer and businessman, and 1 feel that I should have the same opportunities as all other residents of Scugog with the exception that | disclose to council and the public any financial involvement I might have."

At Monday afternoon's meeting of council, Colin Kemp and Bill Linington presented councillors with a list of proposed changes to the station operation. After more than an hour of discussion and at times heated argument, the council agreed that the station should be open on Saturdays from 8:30t0 4:30 P.M, and on Tuesdays from 8:30 in the morning to nine at night. On Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, the hours would be from 8:30 to 4:30, and because council insisted that the changes not add to the total number of hours the station is open each week, the station could be closed all day Wednesday. Mr. Linington and Mr. Kemp, both Nestleton residents, said at the council meeting that the changes, including the Wednesday closing, would be an improve- ment over the hours of operation now in force. Council also agreed Monday afternoon with a suggestion that a separate bin at the sta- tion for metal objects be provided by a scrap dealer who would be responsible for emptying it.
