“We are not individuals who can control our own industry. We have been dictated to by the provincial planners. ' ' Milani calls these people selfish â€" without a “social He is extremely critical of the local opposition to development. To him the loCal sentiment is per- sonified by Cameron, Jackson and Pierre Berton. who lives near Kleinburg. Expecting a political storm of opposition, Milani is quick to point out it was the province that “pushed” him into this area of Vaughan. And without actually speaking against the proposal, others argue the province must guarantee new services will not be a burden to present Vaughan residents. Many in Vaughan are concerned about the speed the proposed 20,000 new residents will be brought in. Milani was about to come to an agreement on his proposal where he will get provincial help to speed approval in return for 10 percent of the land at cost for subsidized housing and a guarantee that 30 percent of the homes will be priced for lower and middle income families. In order to get a flood of new lots on the market in the next few months â€" or before the next election â€" and bring down the cost of homes, the province is wavering on some of its previous planning statements and en- vironmental regulations.

He and his associates â€"â€" friends from the building and development trade â€" have approximately 1,000 acres to the east of Wood- bridge they are now hoping to develop. Their first project was the Woodbridge West development, now in the final stages of construction. “We expected a crisis in demand so we had to move into the area where we could meet the requirements of the government and the market.” “We had no choice but to move closer to the area scheduled for growth. near Woodbridge. ‘ (continued from page I) “But the TCR plan killed our project and sterilized our land,” he said.

He keeps close tabs on the activities of council and citizen groups. Monday after Vaughan council, he rolled up in his big white Lincoln and “The government is too slow,” he said. “The plan for the city in Pickering is three years old now. but they haven’t built any homes yet.” Milani was also critical of the province for building a major trunk sewer in peel Region before the York- Durham trunk. He said this was contrary to the goals of the TCR plan, which ad- vocates pushing new growth to the east and north of Toronto. One person who has benefitted from new develooment. he said is Jim Cameron. who is a professor at York University in sprawling North York. “The provincial planners cannot ignore the magnetic forces of attraction in Toronto," Milani said, referring to the industry and cultural resources. Pointing his finger, he said Cameron does not have the expertise to decide where growth should occur. At times when he spoke, Milani would address the writer as though he was Jim Cameron. “I challenge you Jim Cameron to tell me where I can produce homes for an industry that is clamoring for them,” he said‘ There was a polar bear skin on the floor. One of a number of plaque’s with quotes enscribed read: “I‘d rather sit on a pumpkin and have it to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion â€" Thoreau." (Disc Braken Extra) When interviewed, he sat behind a large L-shaped desk covered with documents, nick-nacks and a large push button phone. At times he paced the office, which was once a livingroom in a large home. backing onto the golf course. Milani sees his efforts to provide homes as a way to protect his own interests and a stable society. “We are facing a revolution in the housing industry. I can see people in the streets demanding homes. I can see govern- ments falling." “Homes are a basic need," he says. “. . . not a desn‘e like a'second car, a cottage up north or a snowmobile. conscience."

Earlier this year, region council discussed possible alternative methods for selecting a chairman, including a region-wide election. A similar shuffle after the region chairman ap- pointment could occur in Markham or Newmarket. (continued from page 1) Ab Hollingshead, who had hoped to top the polls in the council elections but didn’t, is also interested in one of the senior positions. lUBE-OIl-FIL'I'ER SPECIAIf Because Canada is blessed with vast natural resources, it has an obligation to produce manufactured goods for the rest of the world. To do this, more workers are needed, Milani, who calls himself a Canadian nationalist, wants Ontario to develop in order to ensure Canada's continued sovereignty and influence in the world community. “My primary concerns are: (a) to safeguard the investments of my com- panies: (b) to meet the requirements (if society; and (c) to enjoy myself doing it." “I challenge anybody to contribute more from a social, financial or ideas point of view that will benefit the area more than “I am riot Here to play the game of a speculator or a politician." “I am not going to pass by this area and contribute nothing or sit around and be useless like the people at Rochdale College." he said. “And I won’t watch in- vestors go to Florida instead of developing Canada.” FOR MOST PASSENGER CARS Here’s what we do: His driving ambition is not spurred by a desire for more money or possessions, he claims.

He will hang onto the 1,500 acres he bought for Cenâ€" tennial City. “If God gives me help, my contribution to Vaughan will be more than any other human being,“ he said. Milani says he has a 10- year program in Vaughan. which is four years behind schedule. Now his daughter is part of what Milani calls “typical new society".
