Motors Limited PB 18 Recently. representatives of York Region and the Town of Vaughan came down to Queen’s Park to meet with the Minister of Energy and Resources Man- agement George Kerr, and Chairman Donald Collins, of the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission, about the West Don Sewage Plant. Vaughan offi- cials have been striving for nearly six years to obtain ap- proval for the extension of this plant. It is seriously overloaded and frequently raw sewage has to be byâ€"passed into the Don. Because there are many unde- veloped industrial lots in that area for which owners have the right to obtain building permits, the problem could increase to alarming proportions in the next year or so. OWRC has been refusing per-j mission to build this West Don plant extension and others, in- cluding the one in Richmond Hill, because it is convinced the only way to handle the future needs of the area is to build a huge collector sewer from High- way 400 to Ontario County for treatment at the lower end of the Rouge River. The effluent could then be dumped into Lake Ontario. Because their scheme entails an estimated expenditure of $75 million and the govern- ment requires that all affected municipalities enter into a, heavy financial commitment to pay out the scheme, the pro- ject has been stalled for several years. By preventing additions to current plants on the Don and Rouge Rivers and holding up all development in the Re- gion of York, OWRC hopes to force all municipalities to ap‘ prove these onerous and need-1 less agreements. ‘ The OWRC refusal to approve this and other upstream plants results from the provincial gov- ernment’s current directives. I disagree with them for several reason. Firstly, Queen’s Park has fail- ed to press research into methods of making upstream sewage plants work. This has resulted in a Toronto-Centred Region plan confined to a nar- row band along Lake Ontario. A solid sheet of steel underneath. A rear seat fho’t They're mak Pollution Of Our Rivers king the bug look beautiful; nycu only 3 future Fqurthly, by insisting that build a rhunloipalities directly or in- m High- d_1rect1y carry the burden of mty for financing the water supply end of trunks and sewage collector and effluent tmatment systems, the province ,to Lake has forced municipalities into scheme the hands of big developers. nnflihlrp Only through substantial finan- Don Deacon Reports Thirdly, the six year delay of a decision on the West Don Plant means that provincially approved industrial development in the area will result in vast additional quantities of raw sewage being dumped into the West Don. Secondly. Queen's Park’s re-‘ strictive policies providing water and sewage treatment facilities have so strangled development in the Toronto region and other parts of the province that the shortage of serviced land, with its encouragement to specula- tors, is costing Ontario resi- dents nearly one billion dollars annually. It is also based on a concept which will make a giant efflu- ent lagoon of the lake. Sub- stantial progress is being made by other jurisdictions in eli- minating the pollution dangers of sewage effluent. Why can’t Ontario? cialr commitments by big de- velopers have municipalities been able to afford these facili- ties. Queen's Park ‘should imme- diately approve the extensions to the West Don and Richmond Hill Treatment Plants to eli- minate the intolerable raw sew- age problem. It should also launch a vigorous research and experimental programme to eli- minate the pollution threat of sewage effluent. In addition, it should eliminate the require- ment for municipal financial commitments which have no beneficial effect on the pro- vince‘s ability to borrow funds for OWRC. By changing its indecisive burdensome p r e s e n 1; course, Queen’s Park can assist us in gaining the benefits of good in- dustrial assessment and elimin- ate serious pollution threats in our midst. MLA York Centre u...‘ The proposed dump on High- este‘ way 27 has a new name. Mayor yam Garnet Williams is now refer- me ring to it as the “Connor Rest- life oration Project". Presumably ized all garbageâ€"truck drivers will toga become sanitary engineers, and on ‘ all garbage-dump operators vivi: philanthropists. (“They gave less] us this lovely - ah - park, dear"). ensi One solution is offered by Leslie Erlick. who lives on Highway 27. He has offered to purchase the land and make it into a park at his own expense. What is Council's answer to lthis? Vaughan Council has to date left many questions from Klein- burg Ratepayers unanswered, including this one: “Council promised a series of alternate solutions and suggestions for the Connor pit. May we hear them?" Regardless of the objections by the NDP and Liberals, schol- ars and hundreds of thousands of outraged Canadians, you have, with the support of the medical faculty, grimly planted your feet in cement and dog- maticly ignored all those who opposed Bill 194 â€" The Pound Seizure Act. With a stiff upper lip you denied requests for an indepth study of the bill, and refused amendments made by many qualified people (who, might I add, elected you to government and by the same right will get rid of you). Do you honestly suppose for one moment that this will be forgotten simply because the‘ dirty deed is done? Can you‘ still face the public with thel self assurance that you have‘ done what is right, knowing full well that you have deliberately pulled-the wool over the pub- lic’s eyes and appeased them with double-talk? Worse still, why do you insist on present- ing this legislation as a Med- Iical Research Bill when you IALL know it is not? Are you also so cowardly that you will not even ovm up to the truth after already having had your way with it'.’ You, by drawing up this Cis- gusting Bill, have converted sanctuaries of mercy into col- NEW NAME FOR. GARBAGE DUMP Dear Mr. Editor: We don't need the dump. Mayor Williams admitted pub- licly recently that “Metro did not ask us to provide them with a garbage dump. We did. how- ever, seek Metro assistance in providing refuse." Well, there it is. This dump just isn’t nec- essary! In fact, we have to beg for garbage! Could anything be more ridiculous? At the March council meet- ing Don Deacon urged all “little places and small groups” to stand firm against unwanted garbage dumps. He said that the OW’RC refused absolutely to permit “sanitary landfill” to be used in the construction of Ontario Place, despite the most stringent engineering pre- cautions, because of possible contamination of Lake Ontario. But they have given at least preliminary consent to the pres- ent site, just 75 yards from a major river, and in a valley which contains dozens of houses, whose sole water supply is derived from dug and bored wells. One wonders if the OWRC is sufficiently and cor- rectly informed on the site. Also, at the same council meeting, it was asked how the powers-thatâ€"be determine where to put a dump. Councillor Mc- Arthur laughingly replied that they picked the place where there was the least protest! Well, we have protested! We are protesting! There may be many in Vaughan not greatly concerned (until the next dump appears in their neighborhood); but one doubts if there are more than a handful of citizens in the township so completely careless of their environment, and so regardless of the feel- ings and wishes of their fellow- ratepayers as to actively sup- port this proposal. Apart, that is, from those who stand to profit by it personally. Again I quote Mr. Williams! “Council is asking Connor to deed the land to the town at no cost.” All right. Let’s have Mr. O’Connor’s answer, loud and clear. According to coun- cil, Mr. O’Connor is required to pay back $300,000 at 11% interest! What $300,000? Could we have the financial transac- tion clarified so that everyone can understand just what is go- ing on? Now, Mr. O’Connor has said publicly that if the dump goes through it will make him a mil- lionaire. That is nice for Mr. O’Connor, but we just don’t like his project. In modern parl- ance, why not let him hack it himself? Why help him along, Councillors? (Kleinburg rate- payers state that council itself applied to the Waste Manage- ment Branch for a dump per- mit, in spite of what Mayor Williams said last week that “Not one member of the Coun- cil has sought, or is seeking, a garbage dump.”) Dear Mr. Editor‘ May I have space in your val- uable publication for the fol- lowing open letter to the Con- servative Government of On- tario? Dear Conservatives: One can only wonder at your apparently socialistic behavior in your approach to “what’s best for the country." (Continued from Page 2) OPPOSES BILL 194 MRS.

You have judged yourselves in such esteem that you dare honor yourselves qualified- to determ- ine the amount of abuse that life will endure in unanesthet- ized animals. You, in your an rogance have turned your backs on cruelty caused by ignorant vivisectionists and are thought~ lessly permitting; worse â€" lic- ensing. the barbarities of sci- ence. You have mistakenly as- sumed that the people will be awed by the almighty power of "Medicine" and concede to a bill that will in no way improve medical science, or any other field using animals purporting to bring human relief through their agonies. In no way does the nebulant information re- ceived through animal experiâ€" mentation justify the senseless crucifixion of dumb animals.

I would argue the reverse â€"- that in a free democracy the citizens have an obligation to involve themselves in nuts-andâ€" bolts practical political activi- ties. (Continued from Page 2) second can lead to a dangerous dependence on the financially comfortable. The third is the most practicable, and, it seems to me the least open to criti- cism. If we regard fund raising ac- tivities as improper, we will ultimately ensure that most men in Parliament are either finan- cially independent or beholden to those who are. Moreover, those who can af< ford to do so should contribute to political parties â€"- all parties If some system of limits and assistance is not developed, we could find ourselves in the sitâ€" uation which now dominates the United States. ' That can be grim. Last January I was talking to Charles Goodell, the defeated New York senator. He told me he had raised $50,000 at a fund raising dinner the week before â€"- which left his personal out- standing obligation on his Sen- ate campaign at $250,000! The highest amount spent in 1968 by a federal candidate in Canada was approximately $70.- 000. If we are to avoid an esca- lation of election costs we must have legislative action. And popular support for meeting part of campaign expenses out of public funds is essential. â€"â€" just as they do to charities. for the party system performs a valuable public service. Politics is a voluntary acti- vity. In spite of the 'low public regard for political activity a large number of citizens do be- come involved. Naturally I know best the work of Liberal sup- porters in York-Simcoe. The amount of time and ef- fort they put into political work â€" especially at elections, but: also between â€"- is enormous. They work behind the scenes, not in the lime light. Ottawa Report And they do it not for any personal self-interest but out of a sense of obligation, and for the satisfaction of participating, even in a small way. in the his- tory of their country. I think we have now reached the stage where we should fol- low the lead of other countries and recognize that the election expenses of political parties are for the public good and should be supported by the public trea- sury. Recently this whole area has been studied by the Commons Committee on Election Ex- penses. Some of their recom- mendations may suggest a sub- sidy to political parties at elec- tions, based on the number of voters, postage free mailings, tax deductibility for campaign donations up to a limit of. say. $100, requirements for access to radio and television etc. John Roberts Closed Monday Tues. - Thurs. 9-5 Fri. 9-7 Sat. 9-1 HOURS MP
