Nearly 900 of Ontario‘s 964 municipalities will disappear in this century’s biggest shake-up of local gov- ernment. Establishment of re- gional government units will be a four stage process.

Mr. Barnard said it was “1m- peritive” to establish control over new pits and quarries im- mediately. The bylaws, he ex- plained, would not prevent all future quarrying but would force operators to seek an amendment from council before opening new pits. “If we don't do this now we’re not going to have one pit bothering us. We're going to have two or three more within a few weeks.” he warn- ed and charged that a new quarrying operation was on the verge of opening on the corner of Vandorf Road and Conces- sion 7. Councillor Robert Lewis con- tended that the present land use bylaw was adequate. The township is presently prosecuting James Saperstein Limited for operating a quarry on Concession 6, one mile north of the Aurora Road. under this bylaw. Mr. Lewis said the new by- laws would not prevent a simi- lar situation because no legal action could be taken against an illegal quarry operation un- til it was actually established. He said that the $300 fine pro- visions of Barnard’s bylaws were the same as those in the present land-use law and would not deter a determined pit op- erator. Deputy-reeves Lawrence Hen- nessey suggested it was “un- democratic” to rush the bylaws through at one sitting before discussing them with the pit operators at a scheduled meet- ing, December 19. Snapped Mr. Barnard. “I don’t think you have to be democratic with these people who have been so undemocratic in the past.” He later apologized for being “so hot under the collar," ex- plaining that living in the vicm- ity of the Saperstein operation made him personally concerned with it. “I’d love to have gravel pits all around me if they were con- tributing as much as they’re costing the township but they‘re not.” he said.
