For Domik it was perhaps his greatest performance in a Aiding and abetting him was the stellar defensive play of young Danny Boyne. Boyne cut off a run on a tremendous one hand stab of a line drive headed over second base which would have scored a runner and have put the $00 in front 1-0. The same Mr. Boyne lashed a ground ball single into centre field and then raced home as Domik drove a long triple off the left field fence V A]! of Vaughan Township's fire fighting apparatus was call- ed out last Thursday night as members of both its permanent force and four volunteer fire brigades battled fires in three different areas.

HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 See New Dump Legislation Threat To Metro Fringes Supersedes Local Bylaws Mr. Deacon “as objecting to Section 18 of Bill 155 which amends the Municipal Act. The section is described as “faciliâ€" tating the locating of disposal sites outside the confines of any one municipality." It per- mits a municipality to acquire disposal sites "in a local muni- cipality”, subject to agreement with the municipality. If agree- ment cannot be reached, appeal will be mad-e to the Municipal Board which will hold a public hearing. York Centre MLA Donald Deacon was the sole member of the Ontario Legislature to actively oppose July 4 a bill which will permit any municipality in the province to dump garbage in a neighboring municipality. The annual Elmer’s Summer Safety Contest will be carried again this summer by “The Liberal”. Last year a young North Thornhill girl won a COM bicycle. one of the first prizes in this contest, which is province-wide. Through the years many other young readers of “The Liberal" have won second prizes, accessory kits, in similar contests. The contestant is asked to cut out and color the weekly contest picture and list the er- rors on a separate sheet of paper, sending both to the adâ€" dress given with a properly fil- led out entry form. The first contest appears on Page 2 of this week’s issue. “Under this legislation a mur'cipality can go into King Township or some other area to dump garbage and get it away from its own boundaries,” said Mr. Deacon. “We saw last year a very costly case where Metropolitan Toronto used its very strong power against a weaker municipality which objected to what it felt was an infringement on its rights. The municipality had to spend many thousands of its taxpayers’ dollars on legal fees to protect itself.” The amendment also ex- tends the power of the OMB and permits it to or- der the amendment of any official plan or of any local municipality’s bylaw to per- mit a garbage dump of which the OMB approves.

Treasurer Grant Marshall, Lion Tamer Then Buy The Best CHéEkwfhe Rest I Vaughan Township Reeve Brian Bailey who had enlisted iMr. Deacon’s support in oppos~ .ing the legislation, felt that its intent was to smooth the way for Metro’s acquisition of further garbage dumps outside Jits own boundaries. “When _Metro says jump. the only ques- ¢tion is how high,” he said. there had been discussion of sanitaly landfill in freshwater bodies with a protective bar- rier and treatment of seepage in sewage plants. "It is quite possible that Metro Toronto could make excellent and valu- able land developmem; available or park development along the waterfront if it pursued this line of attack on its garbage disâ€" posal problem instead of attack- ing small municipalities to the north,” ‘he said. It still requires Royal assent before becoming law. “We fought them to a stand- still” (on the Thackeray Dump Site) he commented. “Now they are going to dump up in King. But it works both ways. Now we can file on them for a site in Etobicoke.” In spite of Mr. Deacon’s pro- tests, however, section 18 of the bill was passed and given three readings. Referring to the damaging effect the legislation would have on relationships between municipalities, Mr.‘ Bailey called it an example of “another Marking the site of the residence of the late Col- onel Robert Moodie, first casualty of the rebellion of 1837, an historical plaque will be unveiled at the TTC bus loop, Yonge 'Street North, July 25 at 7 pm.

Although approved almost two years ago, erection of the marker was delayed un- til this year because of the great demand for similar plaques during Canada’s Centennial Year.
