First they were told by Ottawa that noise from the new airport would not affect them. But then the Airport Inquiry Commission found differently.

An offer has been made for those who want to leave to regard the government as purchaser of last resort, but there is no intention to expropriate." On April 22, I asked C.M. Drury, minister of public works who is now in charge of airport land acquisition, if it was the government’s intention to expropriate the Town of Stouffville as recommended in the Airport Inquiry Commission report. Drury’s response triggered loud protests from Stouffville residents who pointed out that no such offer had been made. well beyond Stbuffville, should be expropriated. Thursday, I asked Mr. Drury to indicate when the government’s offer had been made, to whom it was ex- tended and in what form. ‘ Pizza & Keychains for all plus a chance free inspection lifetime guarantee foreign Er domestic exhaust systems shock absorbers FOR - THE - COTTAGE SPECIALS â€" $5.95 sq. yd.

Future tends to be uncertain when you live beside proposed federal airport He replied, “The inâ€" dication I gave in the House was, perhaps, imprecise in that the details of the offer have not been worked out, but the government will be prepared, as a purchaser of last resort, to offer to pur- chase houses from citizens who wish to move away by reason of noise levels." I then asked the minister to be more precise as to exactly when the govern- ment will be making this approach to the residents of Stouffville. He replied, “I think more in the way of details and more in the way of knowledge as to possible noise levels in the future should be worked out before the offer is communicated. Those who wish to avail themselves of this will want to know against what kind of tests they will be operating." Confusion appears to abound with respect to this airport development. The government has announced that the airport will be developed but only with one runway. Yet, the Airport Inquiry Commission Report stated emphatically that, “There should be no partial or limited opening of the proposed Pickering Air- port." “up , They then added, “If a decision is made to proceed with the proposed Pickering Airport, it will take at least eight to ten years from the date of that decision to plan and construct all necessary airport facilities and ground access." r The government believes that they will do it in half that time. Recently government representatives met with municipal and other officials to explain the airport development. When they unveilled their plans, local representatives were startled to see three planned runways. May 12 has been proclaimed Canada Hospital Day by Minister of National Health and Welfare Marc Lalonde as a special day on which to recognize the part played by hospital staff, trustees and volunteers working together to serve In a well-researched, well- documented appeal, Silvio Tachella, Rumble Avenue, spent an hour in a futile-effort to have Rich- mond Hill Council reverse a decision of its planning committee to refuse his application to create an additional residential lot facing on Emerald Isle Court. Tachella's pmperty stretches from Rumble Avenue to Emerald Isle Court with an existing two- bedroom house on the Rumble frontage. Total area is 9,409 square feet. Refuse application for Hill lot again Canada Hospital Day He proposed to create a 5,000 square foot residential building lot on Emerald Isle Court leaving the existing building on a lot of 4,409 square feet on Rumble Avenue. The minimum lot area is 5,000 square feet. He cited several cases in other areas of town, where such deviation had been considered a minor variance and had been approved, in support of his application. Several residents of the area spoke on his behalf. Edward Spence presented the arguments of his neigh- bors who opposed the ap- plication because, although the minimum lot sizejn the area is 5,000 square feet, the Weston member holds Edgeley WI meeting Mrs. Ann Broiley, Lip- pincott Street, Weston, entertained the Edgeley Women’s Institute for their May meeting, with the newly elected president, Mrs. Alice Darlington, presiding. Mrs. Doris Beanland who was chairman for the summary day on the course “Baked in a Pie” held at Victoria Square, presented Mrs. Jean Agnew with her badge for leader of the course. She gave a good report of the day, reciting the poem she had composed and gave as Edgeley’s part in the program. Roll call for the meeting was, “My plans for summer holiday", and was well responded to. Visiting the Western Provinces and West Coast seemed popular this sum- mer.

Following stern questionning as to why there should be three runways instead of the one announced by the government, the civil servants weakly replied they still had not altered their plans from the original. Speaking in Toronto, Prime Minister Trudeau chose to defend the Pickering Airport decision and stated it would disrupt the lives of only some 2,000 people. It is still not clear where Mr. Trudeau classed the 5,000 residents of Stouffville when he used his 2,000 figure. With the general decline in Canadian and international airline growth, it is difficult to understand why the government feels it is necessary to proceed with Pickering, the only airport of its kind to be developed any place in the world. I asked Jean Marchand, the minister of transport, if consideration is being given to, “delaying construction of the Pickering Airport for at communities across Canada. averége lot size is con- siderably above that, ranging from 7,000 to 10,000 square feet.

Schiller not member of committee Mayor Dave Schiller of Richmond Hill is not a member of the committee planning York Regional Council’s three-day get together with the executive staff May 22-24, as reported in last week’s Viewpoint column. The mayor said he turned down the appointment and also was against the idea of the meeting, which is to be held at a spot still to be selected. Idea of the get together is to help staff and council meet on a less informal basis, so they might operate on a more compatible plain‘ ference at Waterloo University gave an excellent report on the conference and conducted a quiz on the hand book as presented there.

I think we have taken all precautions because we are only building one runway and it will be ready in a few years. In the meantime, we will be in a position to judge if we should go ahead or stop.” In the meantime, the government will have spent almost $400 million.
