Pit and quarry operators licenced under The Pits and Quarries Control Act produced 9.725 million tons of aggregates. Eighty percent of this production came from sand and gravel deposits while the remaining twenty percent was mined from limestone, shale, and volcanic volcanic bedrock. Products produced produced included cement, concrete concrete aggregates, crushed stone for road base, aasphalt, flagstone, and roofing materials. materials. In addition to licenced pit and quarry production, 1.161 million tons of sand and gravel was mined from temporary temporary pit operations under wayside permits issued by the District office. All of this material was used in various municipal and provincial road projects. It is estimated that total aggregate production in Lindsay Lindsay District for 1979 accounted accounted for about one-tenth of the total of the entire province. 1980 is shaping up to be another busy year for the aggregate industry in the local area. Scheduled provincial provincial highway work alone will require 1.8 million tons of aggregates for granular road base and asphalt. Currently, mineral resources resources staff' at the Lindsay office are administering 256 licenced pit and quarry operations operations under pits and quarries legislation. Administering bydaw too costly The administration costs of a Town of Newcastlé Maintenance Maintenance and Occupancy Bylaw Bylaw has proven too rich for the Town and as a result such a by-law will not be brought into force in the municipality this year. The council on Monday accepted a recommendation from the Town Manager in that as sufficient funds were not in the 1980 budget that the matter be referred to the 1981 budget. In a report to council the Town Manager, Albert Guil- er, pointed out that to administer the by-law council would have to appoint a committee of at least three persons with hone having connection with council or » staff. He also pointed out it would require the hiring of A property standards officer and a part-time secretary for the officer and committee. Guiler estimated the cost of administration for the by-law would be $16,100.00 for a six month period. The Maintenance and Occupancy Occupancy by-law has been before council for sometime and would control the safety , and appearance of .buildings and property in the Town. At the present time council has no legislation to control such adverse conditions in the municipality. Mainstream Canada Will that be cash or... ? By If. Roger Worth The burgeoning use of credit c.ards seems to have reached a crescendo, which is probably a good thing. , As a result of consumer credit restrictions in the U.S., many smaller businesses have already stopped accepting plastic money and bigger retailers retailers and hospitality related businesses are joining the trend. With high interest rates, it's only a matter of time until the same thing happens in Canada. Roger Worth is Director, Public Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. ' A couple of examples of belt tightening in the U.S. In Florida, many major restaurants restaurants have outlawed the use of, cards and some franchised service station operators have even stopped accepting the . plastics issued by their multi- national parents. The reason for the change in policy, particularly among smaller businesses: firihs accepting accepting credit cards pay a percentage percentage of each transaction to the institution that issues the , card. In Canada, for example, the bank-backed Visa and Master Charge promoters charge businesses 2% to 6% for the service. Naturally, smaller firms pay the highest percentages. percentages. In addition, the financial institutions receive 21% interest interest on accounts that aren't paid within 30 days. Smaller Canadian businesses businesses forced to pay card promoters promoters $6 on a $100 purchase are in a bind. They feel obliged to offer the same convenience as larger retailers, even if they have to pay the money out of their own pockets. Little noticed in the debate debate over the use of plastics is the fact that cash customers are subsidizing the army of credit card users., \yhen a customer pays cash, there is no kickback to Visa or Master Charge. When a card is processed, the business business lises 2% - 6% on the transaction. So overall prices must be higher to maintain profitability.-, , Perhaps it is time Canadians look a second look at the so-! called "cashless society." It may be as highly overrated as the Edsel when it first hit the market. It was a great event at the Orono Public School one morning last week when Judge Richard Lovekin paid a visit and gave some of the early history of settlers in*the area of the former Township of Clarke. He not only had a number of interesting pictures pictures but also showed slides to the students at the school. WILLIAM KENT, Dental Surgeon wishes to announce the ' associateship of DR.
