Last month there was approximately approximately 5,750 welfare cases; 750 less than in April of 1980. Officials predicted last April an increase in welfare cases by 9.1 percent. However, before the budget was proposed, their predici- tion changed to 2.2 percent decrease. Figures in April of this year show a decrease of almost 12 percent in welfare recipients, Councillman John DeHart, chairman of social services committee, credited the decrease partly to the successful successful welfare case investigations investigations of Grant Bircham. Since last summer Bircham has been responsible for payment payment halts to 61 people and 35 people have been asked to return overpayment. Thus, saving the region and province province $220,000. Although welfare cases are decreasing, Bricham's Work, load is increasing. In March he was asked to investigate 47 recipients, his busiest month yet. Due to the change in welfare conditions, the region expects to cut planned expenditures, expenditures, of this year, by about $1 million, saving regional tax payers $265,000, In 1980, the cost of welfare to regional taxpayers was $2.7 million. However, since the amount each welfare case receives has recently increased and fewer recipients does not mean the department will spend less in 1981 than in 1980.

Jacki Van Doleweerd entered the Atom 100 and 200 meter categories winning two gold medals and as well placed 5th in Bantam 100 meter category. CONFLICTING REPORTS OVERBROOKLIN DEVELOPMENT PLAN (continued from page 1) with the final results from council expected sometime in June. The Planning and Development department not only state the project is premature premature but also claim that the approval of the project could cost the Region a sum of $5.6 million. On the other hand the Finance Committee refute the financial statement of the Planning Department and state that the scheme could be a boon to the-Region and in an amount of $2.6 million. They do claim that it cbuld be pre-mature but this would not alter the credit to the Region. Comissioner. of Planning, • Mofeed Michael, states that it is his opinion that the state of the housing market will not allow the proposed development development to go ahead. He said the Region would be adding services services for no other reason than adding them. It was also noted through discussions that the Region already has 14,000 acres of serviceable land on which the services are now paid and that at least some of this should be used prior to opening opening other areas. The Region would rec'eivc. development costs Fpr such lands which would in turn help to offset the, cost of providing the services services to the 14,000 acres. The total cost of providing services to the Brooklin area has been estimated at $8 million which involves the extension extension of water and sewer mains from Rossland Road, Oshawa to Brooklin. 'The developer, First City, , has offered to pay the cost providing the Region passes an amendment to the Regional Official Plan to allow the Brooklin hamlet grow from the present 1600 to 10,500. The developer claims they will undertake a hard sell and provide homes for middle management people, people, accomodation which they state is not now available in the Region. It has also been pointed out by Regional Councillors in support of the scheme that there is a need now for sewer and water services for the existing existing residents of Brooklin. Battle lines are being drawn over the scheme and individual council members and other developers state they will appeal an approval of the plans to the Ontario Municipal Board. Other developers point out that approval approval will only replace location location of . new development in another sector of the Region. It has also been pointed out that other than hard services services the Brooklin will bring other costs to Regional residents in such as increased educational costs and other services under the umbrella of the Region.
