The Association claims gravel pits are Reach Anti - Gravel Pit Forces = Petition Township, Government =: By Bob McDougall The Reach Protective Ass- ciation has launched a two- pronged attack to bring about @ crackdown on gravel pit operations. At a meeting in Utica Sun-|----__ Chalet: Farms Ltd. Ceases Operation day the Association fired off signature-backed petitions to Reach council and the Por- wince outlining strong object! tions to the open-pit mining sit uation in the Township. The petition to Reach council will likely result in an Ontario Muncipal Board bearing on the Township's recently passed bylaw which contains a section dealing with land use for quarries. The letter to the Govern- ment hopes to influence the Province to designate Reach a an area which would be tegulated under the Govern- ment's recently introduced legislation on gravel pits and quarries. * The Reach petition says that the only obvious ration- ale behind M-3 zoning in the new bylaw (No. 2184) is "that pits have operated there in the The Association believes that zoning of pits and quarries should be a planning @ecision in which all con cerned -- operators, residents and .. other jurisdictions -- would be represented. In addition, the Associa- tion wants only those areas, actually excavated on the date the bylaw was passed, turning the landscape into terrain resembling the berren | ¢ lunar surface.

The petition ssid the value of having greve!l pits should be weighed against other Declining prices in the poultry ead egg business are the main reason for the shutdown of Chalet Farms Limited on Union Avenue in Prince Albert. Glenn Moase, manager of Chalet Farms Limited, told the Star the last day of op- eration at the plant was duly 9, and he could see no hope of the plant opening again as a poultry processing plant. "The plant is here, and could certainly be leased for some other type of manv- facturing,"" Mr. Moase said. At top production of the plant, over 50 persons were employed here, he said. "This dropped to about 30 when we were forced to lay off 20 employees in March of this year." An estimated 150 people were directly and indirectly affected by the shutdown of the plant, "and I am cer- : tainly sorry to see this had to} happen," Mr. Moase concio ded. He is personally still em- ployed by the company, wind ing up the remnants of the business, but the future as far as he is concerned, wun Can a new zoning by iew be | enforced before & has the \official stamp of approve! \ by the Ontario Muncipe Board" | 'This question came under j some hot end heavy ducusmon lat the last regular meeting of Port Perry Council Attending the meeung @& delegation were former councillor nd reeve J Gibson, wif> during the meet < George Kite, J.

This was disclosed at a meeting of Port Perry Council Tuesday, July 13 when rep- tesentation from Canada De- partment of Public Works at- vended the meeting. The new Post eye ter be constructed on the same tite as the present, but will only be of a onestorey ttructure replacing the old three storey building, erected * es far as can be ascertained in 1911. (At least this editor by scrutinizing the structure as day could find no trace of a corner stone. However, it was suggested, it could be covered up by the loading platform erected quite a few years later.) Mr. Wm. McNern and Mr. A. Moran from the Public Works Department discussed the proposed plan and archi- tectural drawings with the council members at the meet- ing. Similarly to the old building, the new Post Office will also be erected about 26 feet in from the street leaving a "greenbelt" in front. When Councillor Hall ques- tioned the idea of not-utiliz- ing the front and build in -| line with the other buildings Post Office on Queen Street. Mr. McNern said it was « policy followed whenever possible to make the approach and building look more attractive to the public The present drive way between the Post Office and | Bruton"s Drug Store will re main much the same.
