against the proposed aggregate land freeze of 14 acres Monday night a report from the Toronto based Foundation for Aggregate Studies as well as com from the Township of North Dumfries near Cambridge were referred to the planner for In elusion In a report due for the November meet log of council Lost week passage of a number of and comments to be sent to Queen a suggested byCouncillor Sheldon was delayed pending tbe planner report which should add weight to the Town tough stance There seems no question though that Sheldon recommendations and comments will be endorsed since there was considerable support at council The Foundation for Aggregate Studies takes a tough stand against the province on the subject of tbe Ministry of Natural Resources series of reports and mappings requiring the ap propriation of onehalf million acres of Central Ontario land for gravel mining in direct con travention of current cabinet policy permitting municipalities to plan for land use Commenting on the report retiring councillor George Maltby said it shows Halton Hills ten the only area getting the shaft and there is considerable concern about the province actions While he won

or ind ustrial development What It means Is that if you wanted to build a borne on a acre lot In these designated lands It would not be permitted Foundation chairman John Alexander said Critics object that the MNR estimated 30 per cent Increase In gravel demand is grossly Alexander maintains that there Is no conceivable way the Province could use that much gravel in the next IB years He points out that tbe reports provide conclusive evidence that Ontario already has more than enough gravel in existing licenced pits to last well into the next century even If the forecasts are accurate The Ministry claims that aggregate gravel supplies are scarce and that It Is uneconomical to supply the market from a stance of over 50 miles Yet the ooo study on which these conclusions were based was
