Mr. Poole noted the roads could cost the township a great deal of money if they were brought up to provincial stan- dards and thus be eligible for subsidy. Councillor Lorne Gaodfellow assured Mr." Poole that “we have no intentions to spend money on reconstructing the roads. It'll simply be a case of maintaining them." He pointed out that "if you don't want us to take Fog Road over. we don‘t have to gravel, or sand or snowplow there. Legally we can't do any of these things unless the road is assumed." Councillor Gordon Rowe not- ed that persons living on the roads “pay'faxes every year and they're entitled to something."

He referred to natural gas explosions in the past at Mal- ton slid the recent disaster in Osaka, Japan, noting that “I don't want that to happen here." “The department does not have any agreement with the gas company which would vary the normal legal rights of your residents for compensation as a result of any explosion or fire." Councillor Gordon Rowe ob- served wryly that "I guess by that they mean it‘s just ‘Good- bye George’ if the place gets blown up." Mr. Craig noted the pipeline “runs about 25 to 30 feet from My front door. It should have been put in a back field away from the general public." He asked 1Jhat council mount a “watchdog” on the line. Council égreed to discuss the matter further. Equal Pay For Men And Women At Greenacres Home, Newmarket Nurses aides at Greenacres Home for the Aged in New- market won the right to equal pay with male orderlies at the home in a legal battle which finished recently in the On- hario Court of Appeals. The court ruled that Metro. which operates the home, must place $31,906.50 in trust as un- paid retroactive wages for the nurses‘ aides who have been re- ceiving less than male onderlies. In making the decision, the court upset a decision by Mr: Justice Campbell Grant on January 28 which in turn quash- ed an order by two Ontario Government officials that the tiur'ses’ aides and orderlies re- ceive the same pay.

Finally: “The Ontario Government should give serious consid- eration to a provincial in- come tax levy with entire proceeds; devoted to the cost of education.
