THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1998 THE NEW TANNER 11 Council worries about high fees - teth mae Is it time for a new belt? srvan «ban ) QUESTION: I drive a 1995 neon with a 2.0 litre engine and a standard transmission. My maintenance schedule recommends that I replace the timing belt with my next service, which will be 85,000 kilometres. . Could you tell me if this is necessary and if the timing belt was to fail, would it hurt the engine? ANSWER: According to the shop manual, your timing belt should be changed 160,000 kilometres or 6 years, whichever should occur first. You may be following a maintenance schedule created by the car dealer. This ge- neric schedule covers a vast number of car lines. The Laser and Talon with Mitsubishi engines require timing belt replacement at 80,000 kilometres. Check in the mainte- nance section of the Chrysler Owners Manual that came with your car for your spe- cific engine.

Without the cap some fees would have increased. by as much as 254 per cent. Town staff claim the fees are fair and expect few, ifany, complaints from local devel- opers, but some councillors, including Acton's Norm Elliott, worried the increases could make Halton Hills un- attractive to developers. "Not only are we charg- ing more than anyone else in the area...the philosophy of 100 per cent (cost) recovery wasn't something that neces- sarily has to be done in every case," Elliott said at last week's general committee meeting One fee that worried sev- eral councillors was the Town's charge of $1,535 to process a minor site plan. Milton charges $200 and Burlington charges $680 for the same processing. Only the Town's Building Department recovers its op- erating costs through build- ing fees while some Recrea- tion and Parks programs op- erate on a full cost recovery basis and show a profit. When several councillors suggested that the develop- ment. fee-increases. could be 'sa SELLabration! We are offering for sale a large selection of Husqvarna and White Sewing Machines and Sergers. capped or phased in, Elliott argued for a deferral of the issue. "TJ think that some of the increases are extreme and some of them we would be charging the highest rates in all of Halton Region and in one specific instance five or six times more for a minor site plan application," Elliott said . Although general com- mittee members voted to bring the issue back on May 25, on Monday night coun- cil approved the 100 per cent cap on fee increases. » GARABA SOG 'AIR ONLY A\l fares shown are the lowest available from/o- Toronto as of Wednesday, May 13.
