proposal to move a section of lake ontario inland is or 20 miles to form an artificial lake near milton as a source of raw wa tec for trafalgar and toronto townships brampton burlington georgetown and other communi ties has been advanced by george flnley trafalgar industrial com missioner speaking to the oakvtlle traf algar real estate board mr pinley said the project is not only phy sically possible but entirely prac tical and he suggested that the pumping of raw water could be come another major industry for ontario my imagination and i hope yours he said need not be stre tched to consider water pumpingj as a private industry like oil and gas pipelines on the site examinations made by us hydro technical engineers coupled with advice from a cana dian investment firm show that it would be possible to establish a 200million gallon reservoir about 10 or 15 miles inland and 250 feet above lake level at a cost of less than five cents per thousand gal ions according to mr flnley what could be done along lake ontario can also be done at ong lake erie he stated what can be done here can be done in the london st thomas area or almost any place within 20 miles of the lake shore where municip alities rely on artesian or other types of wells for their water supply such sources depend to a large extent on the rainfall in the area in any given year there is also the ever present concern about the gradual lowering of the water table at best the wells now in use cknnot hope to fill the increas and it is your neons of identification at the hospital ho ww to use it always keep your ontario hospital insurance certificate handy and present it to the hospital admitting department if hospital care becomes necessary for you or your eligible dependants only one certificate is issued to each insured single person aad to each insured family as a precaution each member of the family should have a separate note of the hospital insurance number for ready reference in case of sudden illness or accident ww ha i ii hoes your certificate and paid up premiums entitle you and your eligible dependants to essential in patient hospital services in standard ward accommodation of approved hospitals only for as many days as such services are medically necessary benefits cease when the physician indicate hospital care is no longer necessary outpatient hospital services are not covered except in the case of emergency outpatient care received within 24 hours followingjui accident hospital services mst be medically necessary ontario hospital insurance benefits cannot be provided for custodial ordomiciliary patients i e persons whose jnedical conditions do not justify use of hospital accommodation and services and who could be cared for at home or in some facility other than an approved hospital prepad nkmums aem prepaid protection it is important that your ontario hospital insurance premiums be paid a ar be the date they are due this is necessary to maintain a period of prepayment during which your protection will continue if rtever becomes impossible for you to pay your premiums ontario hospital services commission ing demands of the population i presently served how then can i expansion to any great degree be visual lied in what he described as a sear ching look at the future the in dustrial commissioner said traf algar extends north about 15 mil but only in the south three miles qnder existing conditions can we expect to see any pheno menal developments the answer is lack of water he said and here we arc with an unlimited supply at our doorstep he told the realtors when he came to trafalgar in 1956 he was impressed by what he saw but when he learned about some of the limitations he was a little de pressed by the spring of 1957 i was convinced that the solution is to literally move a section of lake ontario to where luwill be useful to those who need it he seated 1 do not think the job i have in mind should be done by gov ernment either municipal of pro vincial i submit to you that it is high time we stopped looking to government to solve all our problems the blessing and coop eration of both levels of govern ment should be all that is neces sary pnate enterprise has pumped oil from western canada in its raw form for refining in ontaro private enterprise with govern ment assistance through the un economic section of northern on tano has pumped natural gas into ontario from the west private enterprise can with only the permission of the prov mce and the municipalities con cerned pump raw lake water and establish inland reservoirs from which municipalities can procure needed supplies for purification and distnhjbn through their ex isting ageirfflfc mr finley said he was not sug gesting that such a water pump ing industry would compete with existing public ownership water purification and distributing sys terns i merely suggest means whereby such municipally owned systems could rely on a guaran teed supply of their necessary raw product he said mr finley asked his audience to imagine what this would mean to trafalgar township in the ac quisition of industries requiring large quantities of water let ui suppose he said that the intake was located at bronte and the raw water line ran north along the second lane and high waj 25 all along this route raw water could be made available for mdustrj the industrial commissioner said trafalgar pas oakville 36 cents per thousand gallons for chlorinated filtered water i am not suggesting the pnee is too high he said 1 jm sure it not but it is high because of the heav capital cost of intake and plant equipment in relation to the through put of its saleable products detailing his proposal mr fin le suggested a 72 inch intake at bronte and a 24 inch pipeline to a point near milton to establish 20 acre lake averaging 20 ft depth total cost he said would be about 4 000 000 with a moderate proportion of risk capital coupled w ith publfc

tern tory m their thinking some of you have told me about connections you have with large sources of risk capital he remark ed why not interest such capital in the acquisition of land sufficient for a whole new townsite develop ment and couple with it the idea of making it possible by the inclus ion of sufficient capital to provide the water required water not only for the development itself but for all those surrounding areas that could use the water on a fv orable cost basis legion notes by las clark the zone meeting and election of officers is tomorrow evening thursday april 9th it is to
