gain publicity he stated a few minutes later newmarket councillor ray twinney a member of the police commission rose to level a detailed rebuttal of recent criticisms lllingworth regularly knocks the police observed mr twinney the police did not order playboy taken from the stands mr twinney explained that officers had visited stores to advise the owners the magazine in question contained words and pictures which in the opinion of the york regional police force may be con sidered obscene merchants were warned that they might be charged under the criminal code crawford didnt write the law his duty is to enforce it said mr twinney they could have continued to sell the magazine mr twinney also defended the actions of the commission in refusing to turn over 7300 found by two men in unionville unless a bond were posted we took the advice of our solicitor he said if we hadnt followed it you should appoint a new commission a recent tribune article describing mayor ken laush- ways role in obtaining better police service came under attack by mr twinney there was no ultimatum the way it was reported he said a re organization of the force is responsible for better protection he also discussed the resignations the members of this council are only hurting themselves when they criticize the police commission he concluded further sharp exchanges ensued when regional solicitor edward oakes read his letter to the commission concerning the unreturned 7300 mr lllingworth expressed his opinion that something should have been done sooner further heated exchanges followed until the

town claims stouffville two neigh boring municipalities town of whitchurch stouffville and uxbridge township have declared opposite views con cerning an acceptable route for ontario hydros proposed 500 kilovolt tower line extending from nanticoke near jarvis on the west to cherry wood in pickering on the east whitchurch stouffville holds to the original concept a route east from newmarket through points south of pine orchard and vivian uxbridge on the other hand favors hydros alternate proposal south along the right- ofway for hwy 404 then east from a point south of hwy 7 whitchurch stouffvilles main concern is for the area west of vandorf which ac cording to councillor merlyn baker would be ruined for any future use by this municipality he described this location as particularly suitable for development it would slaughter vandorf concurred councillor gordon katcliff only councillor june button seemed to favor the west side route she claimed the in tegration of a highway artery and transmission towers would be putting two eyesores together councillor herb simpson argued however that hydro would face considerable more opposition to the hwy 404 right- ofway route than the one into uxbridge mayor ken laushway said the town had already agreed on the line west to east and i dont think we should start re negotiating the whole route now in uxbridge solicitor alec mcclennan said he would at tempt to arrange a meeting between the council and the hydro commission but this was considered unnecessary reeve robt nesbitt advised on the oilier hand that it would be to
