ieee Conservatives contrasting themselves favourably The candidates for the Conservative nomination in Muskoka-Georgian Bay are presenting themselves as a one-for-all, all-for-one group. Some of the four Conser- vative candidates are con- trasting themselves favourably in comparison with the Liberals. The Liberals elected Ken Black of Bracebridge as the Liberal candidate last * Frequent visitors The four candidates for the Conservative nomination in Muskoka-Georgian Bay, as a group and otherwise, made four public appearances in Midland and area in the past two weeks.

THE TV MAN BALM BEACH RD. MIDLAND 526-4652 weren't announced, Beatty said. Liberals are saying that their candidate is fated to replace Frank Miller, on the basis that four former premiers have been suc- ceeded in their ridings by another party's candidate. The Liberal's reason that the riding organizations of the former premiers were "tired," Beatty said. The membership of _ the Muskoka-Georgian Bay Conservatives stood at 1,100, Beatty said, with ad- ditional memberships con- tinuing to be received. Bruce Stanton spoke of "instant Liberals" and a Liberal organization which doesn't have the "grass roots" which the Conser- vatives have. The PC candidates, while sure that one of their number will be the first MPP for the new riding of Muskoka-Georgian Bay, are less uniform in speak- ing about which party will form the next provincial government. Edith Nichols and Bruce Stanton each said a riding office would be established in Midland. Nichols called a riding office here a necessity. Stanton said Midland deserves an office because Midland and area, with one-third of the population of the new riding, has the riding's largest cluster of people. Allan Moses said an of- fice in this end of the riding, in addition to a main office in Muskoka, would be opened only if a need was proven. Beatty said he would be here regularly and that a local telephone number should be arranged. The members of the party's riding ex- ecutive would have to be the first line of response to inquiries to the MPP, Beat- ty said. Monitoring phosphorous Monitoring of the amount of phosphorus in Little Lake should begin this year, a town official expects. The Town of Midland has taken delivery of a commissioned proposal from Barker Terp Gibson Ltd. on the subject. The public works committee will make a recommenda- tion for the town council at its next meeting, in May, public works manager Ken Cave said. The Simcoe County District Health Unit already tests samples of the lake water, checking the level of bacteria. The lake has been closed to swimm- ing in the past. The proposed monitor- ing has three aims:. to determine the quality of the water; to discover the amount of phosphorus presently in the water; and to use that information to determine how much development can be per- mitted in the lake's watershed. Cave said he is confident that the quality of the water will prove to be "pretty good."' He expects that controlled and orderly development in the area will continue. "'I'll be sur- prised to find that there are any major problems." The last comprehensive study of the water in Little Lake was conducted in 1977. That study was up- dated last year. Phosphorus accumulates in the lake, carried into the outlet-less body of water by storm water runoff. Too high levels of phosphorus will endanger the lake's plant and animal life. Lit- tle Lake is the scene of an annual bass derby. Samples of water would be collected May through October, three times a week from four locations, by town employees. Cave said the town hopes the Ministry of the Environ- ment will analyze the samples for free. Barker Terp Gibson Ltd. has been paid about $5,000 to produce the proposal Only recently has the development around Little Lake anticipated in 1977 begun to materialize.
