Titanic Examiner Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherGenerd Manager Walls Editor Emeritus 4The Barrie Examiner DIM Heoshaw Managing Editor Saturday Nov i976 Planning Act proposals of interest to this area No building permits were issued for construction of single family dwellings in Barrie in October John Rhodes minister of housing said this week municipalities should be cajoled into easing restrictions on housing subdivisions kin proving less lengthy The free enterprise system is sup sed to work on supplydemand asis More housing units created is sup posed to mean costs will stay within bounds The minister has obviously been listening to developers and presumably to those people who still to real developers he said steps should be taken to make the process of ap provals dream of owning singlefamily detached house Rhodes says he intends to ensure changes are made to the Planning Act to simplify subdivision ap We should not expect the change estate to be made overnight nor should we look for house prices to tumble But we should expect them to stabilize if and when the changes are made Amendments to the Planning Act are of particular importance to Barrie and area if the city wins its annexation case No one appreciates shoddy QUEENS PARK Reed Paper Co emotional issue By DON OIIEARN Thomson News Service TORONTO The con troversy over Reed Paper Co and its proposed paper mill in northwestern Ontario obviously is going to be the big emotional issue of this session and prob ably for some time to come Two years ago it was an nounced with pride by Ontario Premier William Davis that ne gotiations were underway with reed to build mill in the far northwest which would involve an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars and would provide jobs for at least 1200 workers At the time from the tone of the premiers brief announce ment it could be accepted that the mill was almost foregone conclusion Subsequently however ob jections to the proposed development began to appear Public reaction against Reed was because its mill at Dryden had polluted the area waters with mercury Then Indians of whom there are 10000 in the area began to protest They got envirOnmentalists excited And finally there began to be objections to the area of north western Ontario involvedusu ally reported as 10000 square miles or bigger than Nova Scotia And with this there came ac cusations that the ovemment had put through at amoun ted to an underthetable deal with Reed and was in effect handing over to it huge sec tion of Ontario ROOT QUESTION Some of the many charges and countercharges which have been thrown around and which if you have been following them probably have confused you can be put aside The mercury pollution for example shouldnt be factor When Reed was spilling mer cury we didnt know it was pollutant Recognition of mer cury as dangerous along with number of other industrial pol iutants is quite recent Then the argument over whether the government ac tually has an agreement with Reed probably doesnt need consideration close examination of the papers signed shows pretty clearly that nothing final has been con cluded with the company Then the environmental as pect also as projected will be thoroughly examined Whether the government originally contemplated development We hope changes in the act will ensure good subdivisions anything as elaborate may be guestioned but now it has or ered review which it seems should satisfy everyOne Even the size of the area in volved has been misunderstood The total area of that part of northwestern Ontario where the mill would operate is 19000 square miles but that doesnt mean this or even the greater part of it would be given to Reedinlimits As yet there hasnt even been proper forest inventory and the size of the limits obviously cant be decided until after this is available However the one great ques tion and the one that cant be put aside is that of the indians Will the project destroy the way of life of the indians There has been the suggestion that with the proper forest management approach it wont And then which should have the priority economic develo mentor conservation Real this is the root ques tionand it would seem to bt one in which there is room f0i acceptable accommodations Incidentally Reed is an Eng lishcontrolled company ant one of the problems could ht that it has had typical Englisl corporate reluctance releasing information IN THE COMMONS THIS WEEK From the Ottawa Bureau of Thomson News

$10mii lion to send military force to the area if necessary while New Brunswick and Nova Scotia called out their militia War was avoided and the dis pute was settled by the Ashbur tonWebster treaty in 1842 Now 134 years later there is new dispute about the New BrunswickMaine border that is causing concern it is the own ership of some of the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay where Grand Manan and Campobeilo are located They are not in the disputed area but close to other islands whose ownership is in doubt One of the problems is that the Americans want to build John Reynolds ICBur

ColdWar iitical issue or perhaps othersome question of economics But to Canadians in the win ter an adequate supply of energy for heating and trans portation is matter of life or death That possibly is the reason that the hu increases in prices of re ined petroleum products have been accepted by Canadians with so little outcry When its choice between sur vival and price increase we sigh and more Nevert ecss there is grow ing public concern about the longterm security of our energy supplies Some groups acting on the noblest of motives are fighting every attempt to increase those su pliesbecause the energy in ustries may make what are vaguely considered to be ex cessive profits because rc sourcc development may affect the purity of the environment or perhaps because private cnv
