Zoning order Scugog Township Council has given their approval for a housing ministry zoning order to control unplanned commercial development in the township, providing the order does not last over 18 months and does not effect commercial lots zoned already. Region of Durham Current Operations Branch director, G.D. Cameron, informed council in a letter Monday night that the ministry of housing will be advised of the matter, and that such a zoning order imposed in order to control unplanned commercial development in former Cartwright and Scugog Townships. An interim measure until Scugog's official plan is approved, the order would avoid, according to Mayor Lawrence Malcolm, some of the problems of other com- munities insimilar situations where shopping plazas "pop- ped up all over the place' in rural areas surrounding built-up areas. Plan to visit penitentiary Scugog Township Council will take up the invitation of the Canadian Penitentiary Service and visit the insti- tution at Warkworth this Friday, or at the latest, on Monday. All members of council, that is, except Coun. Bob Kenny, who has made up his mind about the regional reception ¢entre proposal made to council last week by John Bennett of the peniten- tiary service. Coun. Kenny is in favour of the establishment of the insti- tution here. He made a motion Monday night to give council's approval in prin- ciple, but the motion failed to get a seconder. Coun. Neil Hunter saw no great urgency in the matter, Meetings of Two meetings on Thursday and Friday night this week ® will hopefully supply some HOLIDAY CLOSING Due to the Tuesday holiday (Dominion Day), the STAR will be published on Thurs- day, July 3, rather than Wednesday, July 2.

Coun. Reg Rose felt that while a tour through the Warkworth Insti- tution would serve only a limited use since Warkworth is. a much larger establish- ment than the one being proposed here, he saw a great deal of advantage in talking to the local council, sche- duled to be part of the outing. He suggested that while there are obvious economic advan- tages, council must investi- gate all the possible prob- lems that could develop. Said one councillor follow- ing the meeting: "It's a little like British justice, it must not only be done, it must appear to be done." Coun. Kenny saw it differ- importance answers to some of the major questions facing the people of the area. Both meetings have emphasis on public partici- pation, and will allow those who attend to ask questions. Planning and Development of the Township of Scugog will be the main theme of a Scugog Chamber of Com- _merce-hosted meeting, Thursday, at the Latcham Centre at 8:15 p.m. On hand will be a number of local, regional, and provincial officials and representatives.

In Scugog Township, the average. householder will face an increase in the regional levy of $8.00, the same amount as Uxbridge Township. Ajax will face a $9.00 increase, Newcastle $4.00, $13.00 in Pickering, $10.00 in Whjtby, and $7.00 in Brock. A levy of $18.00 on the SRP sah n Epsom had a double reason to celebrate Sunday. Not only was the 50th Anniversary of the United Churches celebrated, but also the 99th Anniversary of the Epsom Church.

The Region, in turn, was compensated by the pro- vince for taking over the roads, reducing an estimated 24 per cent increase in the regional levy to 12 per cent. The 1975 capital budget, also approved last Wednes- day, calls for an expenditure of $35 million, $12 million the area municipalities' share. The current or operating budget rose to $37,891.

Water and sewer expendi- tures are still to be added to the current budget. If a regional rate is adopted, water and sewer expenditure won't be added onto the mill rate, and would be applied on a user charge basis. According to finance chair- man, George Ashe, the bud- get represents only a 3 per cent increase over what would have been the 1974 budget, had the region been fully operational last year. The capital budget outlines a number of projects in Scugog, including a $154,000 watermain on Lilla Street from Scugog Street to regional roads, $25,000 for test drilling for additional water, and construction of a new well at about $127,000. Total cost for the 1975 capital budget waterworks project summary in Scugog is $572,600. The Lilla Street project includes an eight-inch and 12-inch diameter water main on Lilla Street. The 12-inch water main will stretch 1,900 feet from Scugog to Mac Donald Streets, the other 3,000 feet from MacDonald Street to Regional Road 8.
