of people working for the federal and provincial governments who make mistakes because they in tune with municipalities He said he never called by people at either level of government regarding these kinds of things and a lot of problems would be avoided by a simple phone call lasting a couple of minutes Council very hard over the years to make sure the towns and hamlets have a place in Hills and this kind of action can destroy everything we ve worked for It bothers me Councillor Dave Whiting described the map error as stupid and asinine He said the Chamber of Commerce will be writing to Snow

towards the Acton unit or the Canadian Cancer Society Prospect Park well study is progressing A small pilot treatment plant Is to beset up and run at the Prospect Park water well later this year lo sec If the brown yellow water problems have been solved Director of Public Works for the region Bob Moore released a brief report on the well now being studied from the consulting firm of Anderson Associates Friday at councillors dropin The treatability study pro gressing on schedule the report states and early last month initial preparation for the study to pump the water from the well for a sufficient time to reach a steady flow condition similar to the case of the well being In production was achieved Since then number of laboratory testa have been performed and the results ob tained have been very promising The basic method used to remove the iron and manganese has been oxidation followed by filtration to re move the oxidised particles Residents will remember that last fall when the well pumped water into Acton system for a week iron and gave the water a yellow- brown color a bad taste and odor and even damaged clothing and killed fish Several oxidation methods have been employed In recent testing and reduced iron and manganese levels down to milligrams per litre or parts per million The report notes the province recommends that irons levels t exceed milligrams per litre and manganese milligrams per litre end before oxidation the well water contains milligrams per litre of iron and 17 milligrams per litre of manganese The next step in the study Is to assess the different potential treat ment methods for economics Ity and ease of operation end carry out further and more detailed labor atory testing of the two methods that are Judged to be the best After this a pilot plant Is to be set up at the site to continuously treat a smalt flow or water for several weeks This will provide operating data essential for the design of a full scale treatment plant Moore promises that the Prospect Park well water won enter the Acton system during upcoming testing and not until the treatment problems have been totally solved Acton Photo fit Camera VHaffs Acton JUNE1

THE PLACE FOR UNBEATABLE PRICES AND SERVICE 367 QUEEN ST EAST ACTON proper way lo handle it would be to ask the question of the minister involved the proper time Reed order Mr Speaker I already have thank you Later on After Snow Arrived Reed Mr Speaker I have a question for my constituent the Honorable Minister of Trans porta today lOOcitiiensofthe town of Acton have been insulted by the deliberate obliteration of the name of the town of Acton from this new province of Ontario rooad map which is scheduled for release at of June of this year I wonder if the minister can provide some adequate explanation to those citizens as why this town has been deliberately left off the mapand If he wilt take steps to have this map corrected before is released Snow Mr Speaker there is a number of mac curacies in the honorable member statement First I do not think there Is anything about it being Interjection Snow I listened to the honorable member Will he have the courtesy to listen to me now Reed Yes Snow To my knowledge he mop has been released It is the new map that is prepared and updated every year or two years There certainly no deliberate attempt lo delete the community of Acton from the map There is a very large number of smaller communities that arc not shown on a large scale of the map In the Golden Horseshoe area which has a separate section of the map and very explicitly shows the community of 1 personally believe a community he size of Acton should have been shown on the main map as well I can assure the member that I will Ing that with my staff It was brought to my tent on earlier this morning 1 am not going to throw out all the maps and reprint new ones have made mistakes in the past and we will correct them I remember when I used to represent lhat great section of the small municipality of Glen Williams was removed from the map at that time know I initiated discussion with the former minister or highways had Glen Williams put back on the map for Aelon Reed The minister is then obviously not aware that his own ministry gave mc he Information about Ihe releasing of he map It come from his own office I wonder If the minister is also aware he information his ministry is giving the press is that ii was deliberately left off the map The minister suggests that here Is a number of small communities whose names have been deleted This is a own of 100 people who have Ined very hard to promote Ihclr own in the press When people come to the lawn of or look for it on a map If hey ore driving out there on a Sunday afternoon l hey cannot even find on this road map Is the minister aware that on this blow up where he says the own of is shown it is actually shown as a community the same size as places like Stcwartlown Glen Williams Nerval communities with 100 or inhabitants In foci this is a own of 7 with lis own identity Will Ihe minister have reprints done of this map correctly Snow I really do not think that deserves an an I answered it 1 said the lion will be made at the next printing of the map The honorable member did not have to go on and repeat everything he has id before Technically may disagree with some of my stall They have very technical reasons The community of Acton is not a separate registered anymore as 1 am sure the honorable member knows Regardless of thai fact the community of Acton is very well signed on Highways For in stance on Highway 401 there arc targe signs showing Hills Georgetown and If one looks at the back of the map never did he will find lhat in the index shows the location of the community of Aclon There Is no attempt miss Ihe great town of Acton which I know so well Defer overnight parking bylaw A bid by Hills Councillor Dave Whiting lo have the parking bylaw altered so overnight park may be allowed on town streets in the spring summer and fall has been deferred until the general committee meeting At last Tuesday evenings committee meeting Whiting said he wanted Ihe
