Hospital repeats request for $50,000 pledge from Scugog Township council Scugog Memorial Hospital adminstrator David Brown has once again asked Township council for a $50,000 contribu- tion towards the hospital's ex- pansion project. . He made the request at the Monday afternoon session of council. The council and the hospi- tal have been in dis-agreement for the last couple of years over a pledge the Township made to the expansion. The council pledged $50,000 two years ago, but de- clined to match that amount last year. But hospital board mem- bers interpreted the Township pledge to mean $50,000 per year for three years for a total of $150,000. Speaking on behalf of the hospital board, Mr. Brown said Monday that "we feel the $100,000 (from the Township) is needed as the expansion pro- ject is going to construction this year." And he noted that other municipalities such as Ajax, Whitby and Bowmanville had pledged tax dollars to hospital projects. "Scugog Township is not in the same position as those areas (in terms of financial resources) noted finance committee chair- Over 500 round trips each week From Page 1 es will provide more than just commuter service to downtown Toronto. The train, he said would have 14 trips per week, only to downtown Toronto. The bus service will have over 500 trips per week and take passengers to Oshawa, Whitby and the GO Train for those who want to connect to To- ronto. He said the OMCA esti- mates that more than 900 pas- sengers will use the bus daily once the service starts. As well, he pointed to the government operating subsidy of $1.9 million each year for the bus, compared to $3 million an- nually for GO Train service. And he said it would cost $11 million in capital start-up for the train, while there would be no capital costs for the buses. The cost of buying the six new coaches at $300,000 each is included in operating subsidy. Scugog Township council has been lukewarm to the idea of bus rather than train service. They have expressed con- cerns over where the bus will stop in Port Perry, since there is a lack of parking in the down- town core. The council is to meet with officials from the provincial transportation ministry next Monday to discuss these and other issues related to this ser- vice. Mr. Crow said people will be "pleasantly surprised" when they see the coaches and service offered. He called motor coaches an "environmentally friendly op- tion.... a model for extending commuter services to many oth- er communities in Ontario." man Yvonne Christie. After Mr. Brown made his request for the funds, there was little discussion by members of council, other than to "refer the matter to budget discussions." Rev.
