the ratepayers of this area for the sewers because the town was created by the province for its own con vcnience Town Clerk Ron Raynor said the province created the town so that it could deal with only one municipality instead of Flos Sunnidale and Nottawa saga township individually Raynor said town council was also upset because the province wants to exclude the biggest potential user of the sewer system the provincial ministry of natural resources from pay ing share of the installation costs Carl Mitchell Wasaga Beach Chamber of Commerce tourism director two weeks ago said the natural

with Highway 400 will back traffic up on the 400 itself by the May 24weekend He said cancellation of pro posed Barrie bypass on Highway 400 is inconsistent with the provinces policy of making Wasaga Beach day trip playground for Toronto residents who now leave the 400 and drive up Bayfield Street on their way to the resort Snow said the combination of commercial development and highway route found on upper Bayfield is responsible for the congetions though he declined to place the blame for the pro lem When you turn provincial highway into gasoline alley with an entrance every 50 feet you cut down tremendously on the capacity of that highway he said Bayfield Street is also Highway 26 and 27 Snow said the proposed widening is one way of com pensating for cancellation of the Highway 400 bypass Other partial solutions are widening Highway 400 north of the city scheduled to begin this summer and signposting of county roads as an informal bypass today The public can find out if they did
