being considered by the halton reg son conservation authority was the topic of nearly an hour of discussion on thursday night two representatives ot the en xloeenng firm of c c parker associates visited the regular april meeting of the authority and explained an overrun of 362953 over the estimate of 97000 for conducting a prelim inary feasibility report an engi neering report and sod investig ations report the authority was told due to high costs now in effect the invoice for the research would how a cost of 11 12953 rather than the estimated 7 500 for the first two phases k revision a motion was passed turn the invoice to the company for farther investigation and possible revision a representative of the company hc nixon said he ac cepted the blame for the price- bike and noted the original est imate was much too low to ac commodate the work involved in answer to the query con earning the authoritys respn sibditr mr nixon emphasixed the 7500 figure bad been an estimate only it was understood there would be full cooperation from his firm in the investigation of the price a detailed report on the pro posed construction was given to authority members and it was learned onsite fill would be used rather than ideal clay which couldnt be located near the site summer task it wis stressed this would in no way detract from the quality of the earthdam and the only real difference in construction would be the necessity of great er care throughout the inspect ion of the work and the reduc tion of suitable construction time because of the delicate methods required in packing the fill the only practical months to work on the reservoir would be june july and aug ust because of the traditionally small rainfall during those months the purpose of the dam was also reviewed to collect a water supply during the months of heavy rainfall and allow it to proceed downstream at an even rate throughou the drier months an earlier consideration of c c parker and associates was to construct a concrete dam but since this would almost double the cost of the project it was shelved delay in plan the project would require about six weeks of construction work under ideal conditions if a large construction firm was employed mr nixon said five months would be needed for the drawing of plans and this alone would prevent construction from starting this year the proposed project is loc ated in esquesing township off 25 highway just below the ni agara escarpment and would provide adequate flows of er to heavy users such as fruit and vegetable farmers and golf courses the cost of 435 000 for project includes construction and engineering costs estimated at 400000 plus 35000 pur chasing the needed land wants regulations governing drugs check on manufacturers

commit tee can be established and start its hearings at one point the halton up thought it might be possible to turn over the study of drug costs to the standing committee but he now believes this is not possible in view of the heavy work load before the standing dr harley expressed satis faction with the reply and said it would implement one of his committee s main recommends tions he said it was now possi ble for someone to start manu factoring drugs in their garage with no check by the govern ment unless it was a new drug there was no requirement for a manufacturer to register if they were
