Council Changing To Roberts Rules A recommendation of the April 26th Committee of the Whole will see Newcastle Council switch to the Roberts Rules of Procedure. Council's present rules of procedure were adopted from those of former Dariington Township which in tura had been previously taken from Bowmanville council. Coun. Ivan Hobbs intro- duced the motion, to change to the'Roberts Rules but Mayor Rickard noted.that it would, A resolutîon that could reduce the financial impact of water and sewage frontage charges for Newcastle home owners was passed at a committee of the whole meet- ing on April 26. The committee moved to ask Durham regional council to approve the resolution allowing home owners to defray the water and sewage frontage charges until they seil their properties. The resolution drafted by Coun. Ann Cowman would assist faillies living on fixed incomes who would find the monthly service charge difficult to pay. Charges for the water and sewage services are made to residents according to the size of their roadside property. The region receives pay- ment for the services it provides by charging resi- dents on a monthly basis, sometimes for as long as 20 years. Ten thousand brochures explaining what local resi- dents can do to protect t 'hem- selves against Culex m-osqui- toes are now available in the municîpality. The Newcastle Town Coun- cil has decided 4to do away with the plan that called for the distribution of 1000 copies of mosquito protection notices. In place of the notices is the brochure entitled: Mosquito not be necessary to follow the entire contents of the large Roberts book. He suggested instead that a smaller version, similar to what council pre- sently has, be adapted from the Roberts rulles. As necessitated by the move, Coun. Hobbs also moved that the former action of council, as to their present rules, be rescinded, a motion which carried 4-3, Entwisle, Rickard and Cowman'holding the opposing votes. East erSealshcl crippled children.r If NeWcastle's resolution was implemented, home own- ers could either pay the charge on a monthly basis or pay it all at once when they seil their property. Coun. Cowman said there were some home, owners living comfortably on fixed incomes who might not be able to continue that way and stili pay the charge. Coun,. Cowman said'that in addition to the, charge of services, residents had to cope with a charge to connect their property to the watermains and sewers. Those charges amount to about $500 for connection to local sewers and betweea $200 and $400 for a connection ta watermains. If a resident can prove that he cannot afford to pay the service charge, current policy allows the region to step in and pay the fees. Con trois Control: What You Can Dýo. LIt is available at the Durham Regional Health Unît on il Lambert St. and it tells just about everything you aiways wanted to know about the Culex Mosquito. Published by the Ontario government, the brochure recommends that property owners eliminate mosquito breeding sites such as stand- ing water in wading pools and clogged drains. Lt suggests that vegetation be reduced by mowing weeds and grass and by trimming hedges. To avoid mosquito bites, you should restrict .outdoor evening activity and wear long-sleeved clothing in places where there a 're' lots of mosquitoes. Light coloured ciothing is less at- tractive to mosquitoes than dark. Culex mosquitoes can spread encephalitis. In 1975 they were partly responsibie for about 70 cases of the disease in parts of Southwest- ern Ontario. The provincial government, however, has said there is no indication at present that encephalitis will spread to areas east of Toronto.
