Region wants dump if it’s approved If the Maple dump is approved, the Region of York wants to take it over, Regional council Thursday instructed its solicitor to take this message to the Environmental Appeal Board which is now hearing the appeal of Superior Sand. Gravel and Supply Ltd. and Crawford Allied Industries Ltd. The companies which are now connected. hope to turn their property near Maple into the repository of most of the Metropolitan Toronto area's garbage for the next 12 years. The applicants have scaled down their ap- plication from more than 900 acres to 250 acres of landfill. but it is still being opposed by neighbors. Maple ratepayers and the Bennett removed social services from 0P - Schiller Housing minister ('laude Bennett forced the Region of York to delete the social services section from its Official Plan, Mayor David Schiller of Richmond Hill said Thursday. Mayor Schiller. past chairman of the regional health and social services committee, was reacting to the Metro Social Planning Council's report accusing Suburban politicians of neglecting human and social ser- vices. While the report dealt directly with suburbs south of Steeles Avenue, it was bound to cause some comments at York Regional Council last week. Most regional coun- cillors felt that the problems enumerated in the report. rising num- bers of welfare recipients. percentages of single-parent families. elderly people and recent immigrants. and a suburban concentration of restless. unemployed youth. were not York Region‘s problems yet. And they hope such problems will be avoided despite massive housing developments in the south end of York Region scheduled in the next few years. Mayor Schiller said the health and social services committee had plans for a social services com- ponent to the regional official plan. But the housing minister had rejected it Forum on drug abuse set for St. Rob ert’s St. Robert‘s Catholic High School plans to hold a forum on drug abuse next Wednesday at 7:30 pm, Parents, students and friends are invited to listen to keynote speaker Norman Panzika of the Council on Drug Abuse in the first of what is hoped to be a series of informal evenings on various topics.

He suggested a letter be written to the minister asking him what his present position is, and if social services were to be deleted. on what basis? Mayor Garnet Williams of Vaughan said he agreed with the minister. Vaughan had corn» missioned a social ser- vices study as part of its Thornhill-Vaughan plan. The study forecast what facilities would be needed for social services and was taken into account “when we set our lot levy." said. King Mayor Margaret Britnell said it was ap- propriate for suppliers of social services to com- ment. “In Metro, they obviously haven‘t and now they have problems. There is a great deal of vandalism already in York Region.“ Planning commissioner Hershel Weinberg said a social plan had been prepared “as a matter of course" when Mr. Ben- nett took his stand. Regional chairman Bob Forhan said that when you read the Metro report, you can see there is more to it than a Mayor Williams Environmental Law Association. He said that a large number of young people are not being properly educated They are not going to school to get certificates in trades when there is a shortage of skilled labor. He suggested that it was a problem that the whole council could look at in one of the special sessions he is planning. The sessions were part of his platform when he won the chairmanship last December. FOILWARE RESGE Kmafl'] Prices Effective “rill Saturday.

But with the backing of regional councillor Gord Rowe. there was nearly unanimous support for the proposal to take over the pit ownership while allowing the applicants to operate it. Engineering commiâ€" ssioner. Bob Hodgson suggested this might be a condition of approval by the ministry of the en» vironment. Vaughan Mayor Garnet Williams said his municipality was still settling its position on the landfill site “but if you want to get into owner- BAG OF 48 WOODEN ship you are talking at least $10 million.“ Councillor Ron Moran did not think that that was a problem if the price could come out of the royalties paid for dum- ping garbage The problem regional solicitor Ted ()akes pointed out is that the Region has no authority to purchase land for a landfill site as yet despite asking the province for a change in legislation to give it control over garbage for the last two years. The vote on the question was delayed while a new resolution could be drafted in Mr. Oakes‘ office. Mayor Schiller still had some additions, and suggested it might not be wise to say who should own the site at this time. The provine might kick in since “Chairman Godfrey (of Metropolitan Torontoi seems to be asking them for a landfill site every two weeks.“ he said. The final resolution also asked that Metro, York, Durham and Peel dispose of 27 per cent of their garbage by recycling. THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, April 18. 1979 â€"- A-3 keep with Libéral ods TREES!
