that he has clocked gravel trucks at better than miles an hour Special closeddoor meetings fail to answer ice rate concern Continued from page one that a gift horse Mr Cargill was referring to the arenas annual operating deficit estimated at The Increased rates are going to nut a tremendous strain on certain amateur hockey groups and figure clubs Mr Hooper said Theyre going lo do some damage to the finest hockey clubs in town probably in Ontario Mr Hooper outlined the chief concern shared by all affected groups the and scale of he increase He suggested that the groups would find It much easier to cope with their respective fi nancial situations if the 33 per cent increase was phased over a twoyear period I cant see hat its going to harm a corporation the size of Hills that much he said ANOTHER SEASON Mr Hooper estimated that residents who register for me mbership In the Georgetown Figure Skating Club next year will have to pay to 35 more for the season than they did this year Minor hockey players meanwhile will have to pay to to carry on their involvement another sea son he said Were not at all happy with the recommendation Mr Davis Were really that there were found to lessen or spread the increase over two years We can only conclude that the main ice users in town are being used so he special committee can pick up a little Mr Davis told the commit tee that adoption of the in creased rote schedule should oblige he town to launch an investigation into both expend i lures and revenues in Its 2 million annual recreation and parks budget He asked for but did not receive assurance that the town will continue to allocate some of the minor hockey clubs a per member Mr Davis related the anti cipated effects of the increased rates upon his Associations

instead of 37 and family memberships will cost from lo instead of Mr accused counc ils special committee of made up its mind about the Increase even before its con with the sports groups We had 15 meet ings and it still wouldnt have Advisory group still possible Continued from page one led proposal The towns objections to the LACAC proposal primarily In volve the formalized bylaw by which council would create the advisory group Booth explained Because the Is set up as a perman ent committee complete with an annual operating budget he said it becomes just another link In the long chain of munic ipal and provincial agencies which must be consulted be fore town council can approve a development project SUPPORT COMMITTEE Instead Booth said the town may be willing to support the formation of an advisory committee which would carry out the prelimin ary duties of the such as taking inventory of local buildings which ore of histori cal or architectural significan ce From the resulting list council could select appropria te sites for designation under Ontario Heritage Foundat ion standards thus qualifying the buildings for Foundation grants Intended for their pre servation or restoration Coun Booth pointed out that council similarly designated both the Georgetown Public Library and the Gray residen ce on Church Street last week as significant sites in Ihe first step toward transforming the two buildings and their grounds into a major cultural library complex If the proposal can be modified he said council would have Ihe benefit of tens advice In an area which requires some expertise but would not be confined to consulting the committee whenever alterations or sales are being considered for des ignated buildings Such modif ications would greatly reduce he amount of municipal fund ing and staff time required Coun Booth said The LACAC is a provincial government concept enabling municipalities to preserve sig nificant buildings or portions of buildings through a special funding program Reverend president of he Esqueslng Historical Society told the general committee earlier that the bulk of the LACACs operating budget would be spent advertising proposed designations a req uirement of the legisl ation which allows neighbors or the In question or other interested parties to make their opinions known to council about the designation Let us put your wedding in btoom The day Is ap proaching And the arrangements arc being made Call us for bouquets cor sages flowers tor church or table centerpieces We have everything to make your day a beautiful occasion Mill Slrwil Hills made any difference he com mented later LEGALITY QUESTIONED Several general committee members questioned the legal ity of the Acton groups pro posal to take over the arenas operation for a year The legislation which set up region al government in Halton re quires the municipality to op erate its own arenas Coun Booth pointed out Coun Levy similarly doubted the feasibil ity of the suggestion although he appreciated and applaud Us intent Coun Levy startled col leagues by offering to support the groups request for a two year phasing of the Increase a concession which he said had resulted from a great deal of soul searching over the past few days Levy noted that his request last April for A recrea tion department report on financing and the effects of an Ice rate increase upon the towns mill rote probably started the whole controversy He said he finds it greatly disturbing though that a- nother committee re quest for a report on Ihe possibility of changing rental fees for other sports facilities has yet to be answered TWO YEARS Its a hell of a jump Coun Levy said in reference to the sudden Increase in ice rental rates may well be possible to make the Increase over two years instead or else put the rate hike in abeyance until alt the reports are fully discussed In any event we have acted unfairly toward a particular wo vc rushed them I think we need a good look at all of recreation in this town Coun Marilyn Serjeantson agreed that a twoyear phasing of the increase would be worth It in terms of aging public participation In the arena sports Coun Patterson argued however that the consider able amount of professional ism which accompanies mo dern minor hockey has seen sport become Increasingly sophisticated and correspon dingly more expensive Youre going to hove to pay the penalty he old the sports groups representatives Youre going to have to go out of town for your ice Ive known Mr Hooper a long time he runs a hell of a business and hes not broke This situations been created by the people not by the town In the fall of 1977 we agreed lo hike rates but an eleventh hour petition made us back off because someone was nt properly advised or Some Hung George Maltby recalled So we ate the deficit then loo opposed the suggestion that the increase should be phased claiming that the sports groups have enjoyed discounts In recent years which town is now reclaiming Id rather be called all the names now than In another year he said SPORTS GROUPS Coun admitted ho was somewhat surprised by Coun Levys concessions to the sports groups He suggest that his colleagues support might have been demonstrated earlier had the special com mittees meetings not been held behind closed doors The possibility of making up half of the overall revenuesfrom the increase from other areas of the towns budget was not even discussed he said The request for a feasibility study of the Acton groups offer was opposed only by Coun Walter who chal lenged the offers legality and called the study a waste of staff time Councillors Levy and Serjeantson were the sole proponents of a two year ing of the increase along the rural roads but found local police have ci en I personnel to handle the problem DROPPED BALL I really think the police hate dropped the ball In this would suggest that this council pass a resolution to the police commission to get them off their butts expressed sym pathy for the residents of the area traversed by gravel trucks but pointed out Halton Hills has been dcslg njtcd for excessive extraction operations because of its abun dance of resources TheOdori- pit and others he noted ore almost cleaned up as far as aailnbc aggregate is con cerned forecasting an end to mining operations in the longtlm Vote reversal angers residents Town council has been accused of letting an alleged conflict of personalities prevent It from taking a fair and Impartial vote on the subject of opening new gravel pits along the Sixth Line A letter from Peter Snider who challenged council on behalf of his Sixth Line and 17 Sideroad neighbors last week to have the up with us the fairness of councils reversal vote on the wayside pit opening see story Page One The letter had no effect upon the towns general committee Monday night however with both members who had switched their vote last week defending their actions Due to an alleged conflict of personalities among the members of committee and council the resident wish to let said members know that the ratepayers feel they have not been given a fair and impartial vote Mr Snider wrote If this is the case then it would be only fair to have a further vote after the matter has been brought before committee and council a second lime THING Im satisfied I did the right thing when I changed my vote Coun Ross commented Coun Marilyn Serjeantson who along with Coun had changed her mind about the application to use a Sixth Line pit between last weeks committee of the whole and council votes said she had switched stands because of a late remark made by a colleague about the nearlydiminished supply of material in the pit She asked town engineer Bob Austin whether mining operations will cease in the area once another 150000 tons has been extracted as had been stated but got assurances only from Coun Roy Booth who cited the contractor King Paving and Materials as his source for the information Booth said one of the concerned residents has accused him of turning the vote In the gravel pits favor by giving council erroneous information A subsequent check with the region authorities whose Trafalgar Road reconstruction project has necessitated the gravel pit operation confirms that information he said Coun Booth quoted from a report on tendering ror the project from which the bid submitted by King Paving was selected as the lowest of several received If he towns denial of the mining operation application rorces the region to re negotiate the contract he said the second lowest bidder the region an extra and the third lowest another I feel members of the public did have a goad hearing Booth commented They were allowed to make their points Its just the price they have to pay for Coun George said resident told coun cil and he and his neighbours some whom work In Toron to are entitled to some re luxation and peace when they gel home But here the council hasnt got the guts to stop extraction operations he said I say for that little bit of gravel lets Bob Cray a spokesman for the company which has been awarded the Trafalgar Road contract King Paving and Materials of Oak ville confirmed that the com pany hopes to extract some 120 tons of gravel from the Another tons is to be mined at the Odonco pit for use in the provincial governments Highway re construction project Accord Mr Gray mining and hauling operations for both pits should completed by October DONT ASK The province doesnt ask the town if they can use our wayside pits they tell us as a courtesy Mayor Pomeroy told residents who asked why more municipal control could not be exercised over the operations Theres very little lime for council to react to the pro vince s notifications let alone let residents know whats happening Levy ad ded contending that the town would create a sep arate department just to keep its residents fully informed of ongoing developments In all Mr Snider told Coun Miller that he has noticed an Im provement In the situation since the week previous when Coun Miller and the major met with King Paving repre sent no to the He nevertheless remain unimpressed by the he received Youve got jour view and weve got ours Mr Snider said It doesnt look like we re going to meet but were going to keep hugging
