A pain in the... forcrews a tour points out why they 're popular Each year a number of North Simcoe municipalities including Midland and Penetanguishene take part in annual special collection of residential refuse. This week it has been Penetanguishene's turn, next week it will be Midland's. A tour of Penetanguishene this week quickly illustrated why these special campaigns are popular and in fact necessary. Junk and residential refuse range from scores of old mattresses and tires, to baby carriages, play pens, iron bath tubs and at least one toilet! Chairs, chesterfields and other household furniture (along with several TV sets) were included in the long list of items that were to be picked up during this campaign. Next week Midland householders will get their turn. Special pick-ups will take place on both May 25 and May 26 in the east end of town while May 27 and May 28 has been set aside by Midland Public Works Department for special refuse pick- ups in the west end. If in doubt as to what to leave at curb- side, call Midland Public Works at 526- 4275. It shouldn't come as any surprise but from now on municipal elections in Ontario will be for three- year terms! At this week's meeting of the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board in Barrie, trustees were informed of one of the province's less key' secrets: Bill 10, an Act to amend the Municipal Elections Act had received third reading al Queen's Park on April 23 of this year. Cutting through all the jargon this means, that those elected to school boards (and to municipal councils) in November will be elected to a_ three- year term. In a nut shell this means that elections will subsequently be held every third year. Bill 10 was given its first reading in the Ontario Legislature on March 11, 1982. The second reading came on March 16 with final reading and approval on April 23 of this year. The Hon. Cc; Bennett, minister of ELECTION EVERY THREE YEARS: AIM OF BILL10 OKAYED ON APRIL 23 municipal affairs and housing spear- headed the document. A survey of local municipalities earlier this year by Simcoe East MPP Al McLean showed some opposition to the three-year plan by a number of municipal councils including Midland's. Those elected to office this fall will take over officially their duties on Dec. 1, 1982. Friday, May 21, 1982, Page 3
