So he comes to his job on township planning board with considerable experience in local government affairs and is quite pleased the township council had enough confidence in his ideas to make him a planning board member. Planning board appointments are for three years. Deputy- reeve Ken Mactaggart urged Mr. Duggan‘s appointment in order to give the northwest area lof the township some represen- ‘itation on the planning board. Mr. Baker said he wasn't satisfied with the drilling tests conducted at the dump site. The drilling of the holes was only a pretence. he said. because they only went down 20 feet. “Those juices are down at least 60 feet. The hole they are putting them in is that deep." he said. Councillor Baker brought up the name of John Hea- man. director of the Waste Management Branch. De- partment of Eenergy and Resources. “I talked to him three years ago and he told me then this dumping was only going to be a temporary measure. I wonder what he means by temporary. I don‘t. have very much faith in what Mr. Heaman says. He never signs anything and is always talking on the tele- phone." said Councillor Bak- er. Mr. Metcalfe‘s three year term was up and Oak Ridges already has another representative on planning board. Vern Plant of Mr. Baker listed other of- ficials who recently made statements about the dang- ers of pollution at the dump- ing site. He referred to a recent meeting of the Stouff- ville Public Utilities Com- mission where members ex- pressed concem and shock over the provincial govern- ment's announced decision to re-open the disposal site. The value of construction au- thorized in Whitchurch Town- ship during 1969 was slightly more than double the totals for each of the past two years. Building Inspector Marshall Miller reported to council last week. The value of 1969 per- mits totalled $4,843,385. I969 Building In Whitchurch Up 102% Councillor Baker wanted to know why a previous council (the agreement was signed April 1. 1969) signed an agreement with the R.W. Bremner Company for a waste disposal site. “In my opinion that agreement is one of the most iniquitous things ever signed." he said. And pressure on the town- ship for approval of residential subdivisions totalling hundreds of lots has been growing during past months. The number of subdivision applications before planning board is now reported at 18. All such applications are be- ing held up while township of- ficials work to get some de- velopment planning done with the help of consultants and the Department of Municipal Af- fairs. “Why he can bring in waste from the United States if he wants,“ said Mr. Baker. Deputy-reeve Barnard said the agreement was only to provide for dumping for res- idents of Whitchurch. Reeve Burnett agreed. There were building permits issued last year for only 66 new single family dwellings in the township. valued at $1,714,710. Mr. Baker asked to have the agreement read. The reeve said reading the agreement would take too long and a special council meeting would be needed. “It"ll only take two min- utes.

There were two waste dis- posal firms preparing to open up plants to dispose of waste. one in June and one in September or so.

He said it was his firm opinion the existing industrial waste dis- posal operation carried out by R. W. Bremner Co. was indeed temporary and would very soon end.
