Georgetown Herald A DhUon of Bom Company limited Main Street South Georgetown Ontario WAITER C THURSDAY JUNE EDITORIAL COMMENT Need For Solomon A bylaw restricting building on tots when municipal water and sewer service are not available demands a Sotemon to solve the Council Is concerned about regulation end about the cost of service which could be demanded if large scale building occurred on such But land owners particularly in an older section of town are up In arms about not being allowed to build on land on which have paid taxes for yean The Irony here that when the town first installed sewer system in the forties mte ores was bypassed be cause it was considered too expensive because of the topography Yet own er have paid for a portion of the sew age system their general tax rate Residents in this ere claim that regulations of the county health unit avoid any pollution danger if more houses are built and tanks used rf this is the case then we do not think council should legislate too restrrctively against borne budding Or if they do the town should be prepared to buy the land at a fair market price It the flame type of problem facing senior In retaining open spaces end agricultural land areas where rapid can cur Here too it unfair to expect farmer to retain land on his own which is worth much more than price is a farm Society much be prepared to buy the land for the common good rather than having en Individual be the Seeing The Light Reversal of a Department of ways opinion that traffic lights are not needed at the Maple i s will meet approval from

Halton Road No 3 has made its appear once How the line can become number three road or why the change a mystery It can lead to nothing but for strangers and residents alike Donf Favour Free Hostels The Idea of sett up free hostels for roaming Canadian youth this sum mer propounded by some wellmean ing folk finds little favour with those who will bo forced to foot the bill There no good reason why tax payers should dig a little deeper to and house youngsters who be subsidized by parents who want them to wander or kept at home when school out for the summer The hostel idea is well and good if it can be established on a self c beats properly supervised and conduct Wee those which organizations like the have operated for many years We are not against young people That a decision which they end their parents must make But we with the theory mat It duty to pay the shot any more than for adults to do the same No one has yet propounded that on tied to see Canada at the expense of the public pursesrrlng If he attempts this he gets a welcome all rightperhaps an overnight bed in a police station or a ride to the town I with a move on buddy from the author if tes The same treatment for wandering youth would soon enough solve the problems which some civic off dels feel can only be settled by free hostels Knowledge that young transients welcome will be smartly moved on the way or charged with be public nuisances if they persist n up public porks would bring a fast end to See Canada at Your Expense philosophy RURAL SERENITY There are 3 Choices And He Likes None show me a sliver
