Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Y 13 197 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Main St South Georgetown Ontario ILLI I- Publisher BOB Editor Mai Registered Number An ironic delay at hydro hearing Clarks press horrible A win by sympathy Its ironic that Ontario Hydro which claims a 1 million a day cost to taxpayers over delays in the con of the Bradley to Georgetown high voltage tran smission corridor last week delayed the threeday expropriation hearings in Acton At issue was the availability of information on alternative routings which was refused during repeated requests by the Interested Citizens Group ICG a group opposed to the corridor since its need has not been demonstrated The position of the utility caused the ICG to charge it with stonewalling the proceedings a charge endorsed by hearing officer Donald and a position which appears on the surface to run counter to an Ontario routings is relevant to the hearing and should be placed before the hearing officer Last week hearings followed more than six months in delays as both parties sought to clarify the legal position of alternative routing evidence before the courts The hearings are now adjourned until August because of previous com by some parties to the proceedings But the situation took a turn for the better last week following the adjournment Energy Minister James Taylor announced that information requested by the ICG would be provided by Ontario Hydro The minister action however comes a week late for the proceedings last week to have been of any constructive Surely the minister could have ensured sometime in the past three months that Ontario Hydro was prepared to abide by the appeal courts ruling and provide relevant information deemed necessary to the heanngs Or should the inaction be the result of the provincial election June he could have taken the same action in the three weeks prior to the hearings This latest development in a controversy which has been smoldering for more than four years adds fuel to the contention of some opponents that the utility has made a decision which is irreversible one Smiths outlook is fresh By IMINO Bureau Of The Herald One thing In Stuart Smiths Favor has been that he Liberal leader has not been hidebound In his thinking During the election campaign and since he has shown that he can lake a fresh on the problems of the days Overall this should be good But one can also see thai It could taust Smith some trouble There was one Instance before Ihe session started when he suggested that an all parly committee should be established to review legislation before it was Introduced in the House The Idea might have had some merit in that It could have conceivably speeded up proceedings but then It also would have changed our historic ways of doing things in the House and this Is something that isn I to be done lightly But then Smith biggest mistake so far was his move to have English river closed to sport fishing He mentioned Ihis once during the campaign though he t stress it But then he took his first opportunity la bring it forward in the House You have to grant him sincerity he does feel quite deeply on question But it a proposal which simply I practical In a reaction to Smith suggestion on the proposed House committee there was one revealing sidelight from Stephen Lewis The leader ridiculed the suggtsdon saying it would take away he Opposition s duty to oppose it his responsibility to oppose and he fully intended to carry out this responsibility He was right but only to a degree The Opposition does have a duty to op pose It must criticize government legislation and action and propose a alternatives But It la not Its duly to blindly oppose to be against everything just for the sake of that will ultimately be earned out despite any ruling of the ex propnation hearing Indeed the ap proved two of the line run nmg north from Halton Hills to County and west to the Bruce generating station are now under construction Given these developments it remains hard for an observer to believe that the Ontario government and the Ontario Hydro is sincere in its approach to the Acton hearings It would be unfortunate if the third section of the line is not approved and the enormous tost of constructing the northern sections all for no purpose But then the government would not be stuck with a white elephant either It would then have a built in reason to justify its use of an order forcing the corrdior throueh this municipality Region HQ could yet be Milton Milton may end up with the Halton Regional headquarters building yet by default While no one contacted by the Herald at regional council last week would commit themselves to a definite statement the concensus i with the exception of some Burlington and members seems to favor a reappraisal of the recent offer for 12 acres of land at Derry Road and Highway should it be reintroduced for consideration Last month regional council turned down the offer of the land for saying that plans for the approved Bronte Road and Queen Elizabeth Wa site were near completion and that the matter was too far down the road towards the construction stage Now with a law suit launched against the region over the proposed headquarters and the confusion over the granting of an exemption by the provincial to allow the construction within the parkway belt it might prove to eliminate long delays and added legal costs to the taxpayers over continuing to seek the Bronte Road site Should the offer be introduced again council would be negligent not to reconsider the costs the long delays and the proposal for a central site at the SOUTH end of the urban town of Milton which has been and should continue to be the core of local government in Definitely inflation wage scale Tlu news from hurt country I been loo hoi Jilely he case of Mrs rate whose weekly pa is rolled lek because that r use 17 per over he anil
