municipalitys offices on the Seventh Line Tuesday Ontario Hydro wants the town to rewrite its official plan and bylaws to permit the power line which starts at in the west and ends at Pickering in the cast to pass through parts of Hills rural area near Milton The town and Region have resisted at tempts by Hydro to get towers built Planners lor both jurisdictions called for further study to determine the best route through the area Mario Venditti Hills town planner told the he would like alternate routes which would run the power lines transportation corridors such as the Park way Belt or Highway A third alternate would try to confine the line to the border of the industrial basin plan by Milton he said The route for the proposed power lines would enter Hills just north of Side rood in the west and head towards Toronto Between Highway and Line Three the 250foot path would turn south to follow the GNU tracks into Milton After taking a diagonal route through Milton the line would reenter Halton Hills in the east on Lot Two at Line Four Then the line again turns south to leave the area at Avenue In all the Halton Hills sec tions of the line amounts to about three miles In total The Mire east west corridor goes about miles Parts of the corridor arc under construct ion Region first took notice of the corridor issue in when it complained lawyer John Parkinson for Hydro said Both municipal i tics sat on their hands for three years then say they want studies he said Parkinson told the the complete expropriation hearing process would have to be repeated if alternate studies are allowed Parkinson told the that if the power lines were shifted into Milton from Halton Hills and Milton objected then the hearing process would have to be repeated And in the meantime the rest of the line is built and no one In Ontario is getting kV power he said John a planner called in by Hydro told the board Ontario Hydro only wanted a narrow amendment to the official plan The change would only deal with Hydro and only in the area where government policy was interested he said Hills planner Vcndlttl said municipalities fear the utility clauses in their official plans may be expanded to include such large utilities as sanitary land fill sites The board hearings confined themselves to the east west corridor only A later hearing will take up the north south line which stretches from the Bruce nuclear generating station to Milton station Interested Citizens Group spokesman John Schneider Acton said he felt the two lines turn on different questions He said a decision in favor of Hydro on the cast west line would have no consequences on the north south corridor Hydros lawyer Parkinson said he thought a win for Hydro in this first hearing would do no harm to the provincial utility The Acton Free Press Its a good thing we have visitors once in a while or our house wouldn tgetcleancd Oh it gets a lick and a promise every day a weekly vacuuming and face polishing but it takes the knowledge of company coming to send me ferret ting into closets drawers and cupboards My mother is coming today and I havent Been her for over urn latin two years she lives in England Shes not at all a fussy County of will be great victory These four Leaves surmounted by person quite the opposite She wouldnt notice if my silver Crown would Yesterday I spent the entire day with a bulldozer and a toothbrush taking two layers of skin off my hands and putting my back out Just so I can greet my mother today and say Ihopcyoullexcusethemessofthehouse Soil hoc I did something a mother shouldnt do I cleaned my children rooms It was glorious Just to get in there with a couple of garbage bags and a shovel while they wereat school wassheer heaven Naturally both are responsible for their own rooms which means every morning two minutes before the bus comes they throw the spread over the bed and kick the socks under the bureau Once a week I grab the bull whip and they have a good clean Pat idea of this is to open every drawer and toss the contents in a heap In the middle of the floor To this is added every book ornament toy and treasure till his shelves and closet are quite bare He then starts to refile the junkwithout dusting first Unfortunately he usually finds an unread comic or a nice bit of car engine at the bottom of a drawer and is off in a trance for the rest of the morning hastily coming to just before lunch and shoving the whole mess back into same corners again Erica Is much more expedient She pushes everything under the bed and wafts a duster on visible surfaces As all available shelf and furniture space is crammed with figurines dolls and stuffed toys this doesnt take her long Important people Yesterday I carefully hid half her little ornaments in a bottom drawer to relieve the clutter knowing she couldnt possibly remember all she had But when the kids came roaring in lull of leaves and mud bringing both shedding dogs and three long haired cats with them Erica went straight to her room and cried Where Harry and Josephine and Petunia and Elsa By nightfall she had every damned thing back on her shelves again plaque similar In

the total increase of the package is 8 and per cent the Increase for individuals works out closer to seven and five per cent Were not really thrilled with it It is far below what we had wanted but we had reached the end of the line and the girls were finding it difficult to manage on salaries Were not only below hospital nurses now but in all neighboring health units as well Mrs Campbell said the Scarborough nurses settled for 30 per cent and she feels because of the historical relationship with hospital nurses that there wont be any problem getting the Inflation Board to approve the Increase

the fact that the nurses are he lowest paid of the nurses working In this part of the province but he suggested thered be little chance of significant in creases In The nurses are behind and trying to
