Participation House, the Durham Region's proposed home for handicapped teenagers, teenagers, may be built in the former town of Bowmanville. Project co-ordinator George George Pearce Thursday confirmed confirmed preliminary negotiations have been conducted on the purchase of almost 3.6 acres of land owned by the ministry of housing here. The land, once part of the Pine Ridge training school, was sold to the ministry of housing. The site, fronting on Concession Concession St., has been offered to the Oshawa District Cerebral Cerebral Palsy Parent Council for Crippled Children at the Ontario Housing Corporation's Corporation's hook price of $5,017.30 per acre, for a total cost of about $17,500. The sale would be conditional conditional of construction starting within one year of the agreement and Partcipation House would pay its share of the cost of extending municipal municipal services to the site in the future. LACK OF SERVICES However, according to Mr. Pearce, the lack of sewer and water services may rule out the Bowmanville Site. The property is about a mile , from the nearst sewer line, he said, and Participation House would have to bear the cost of relocating an existing septic tank and tile bed already on the site, or providing a new one. As a result, the Durham organizers are still considering considering a site in Whitby, which, while not serviced, is much closer to available municipal services, according to Mr. Pearce. Region approves first full budget The Region of Durham Council on Wednesday of last week gave approval of a budget totalling $37,891,000 for the year 1975. This is the first full budget to be approved by council. Council also passed a capital budget in the amount of $35,000,000 of which amount $13 million will come from the area municipalities. The increase in the Town of Newcastle for the average home is expected to be $4.00. This is for the regional rate only. The Tovsfn of Newcastle have yet to pass down their own budget for the year. Of. the $37,891.00 regional budget $11,931,000 must be. raised from the regional taxpayers with the remainder in the form of grants from the regional basis and the government government has indicated that they will assist in the matter but to this date have not spelt out this assistance. Oshawa is strongly opposed to any change to the present system where local municipalities carry the charge after users fees are used up.
