Charges that her opposition to a proposed gravel pit operation were part of a personal against the pit owner were denied Saturday night by Reeve Mrs Anne Gordon Agnew who it tempting to develop a pit on his Second Line property south of Highway made the delta charge in a leaflet he distributed to residents prior to a public meeting in the Masonic Hali where the pit and traffic problems were being discussed Storms out Village trustees called the meeting after receiving a notice from Council asking the village s feelings on the matter A resolution was passed by a handful of the citizens present stating that they were opposed to gravel pit traffic through the village An earlier resolution by resident Joe slating that Mr Agnew and Council should meet to decide upon an alternate route was withdrawn Mr stood up asked that his motion be withdrawn and then stormed out of the meeting following heated discussions between Reeve and Mr Mr Agnew stated traffic from his gravel operation would like to use the First Line north from lot seven then east on Ten Sideroad and south on Guelph Line to Highway Residents on the First Line have submitted petition against this route Mr Agnew further accused Reeve Let air out of roads A suggestion by Reeve Tom Hill that the roads crew use machinery to chew up rough roads in an effort to let the air out from underneath instead of using a process of continual grading is to be put into effect Roads superintendent Bud Snow said night it may he the answer to main taming difficult township roads 1 dliketofmdthcanswer he said The roads superintendent said nothing has been done to the Fourth Line since a delegation of ratepaj appeared before council with complaints two weeks ago ill you put the grader up the Fourth Line Bud asked Deputy reee Len Coxe I do it replied the roads superintendent but the next thing you know they 11 be com plaining about the dust Deputy reeve- Coxe also complained about conditions on the Eighth Line between and ID Sideroads Bad road I travelled some roads and hoped as bad but I had to wonder when I travelled the Eighth Line he said Hill suggested the Ninth Line be used for experimental purposes in trying out his suggested method for improving road conditions There are ditches there to take the water and there not much water in them If this work on the Ninth Line it won I work anywhere he said MacArthur of suggesting this objection to First Line residents at a council meeting Reeve replied I i like to point out that this was one of the few council meetings that I have ever missed lhat I was ill and not even that council meeting Hot recordings Mr Agnew then emphatically replied thai he had tape record ings to back his accusation Council had earlier expressed concern lhat pit traffic would use Five Sideroad and Line thereby going through the main section of the village A decision on the matter was postponed upon request from Ihe Council lawyer at on Ontario Municipal Board meeting Jan Council suggested they could get together with the pit operators to solve the traffic problem Then at an April Council meeling another routcwas proposed The suggestion was to build a road along the property line through Ihe centre of lots six and seven just north of the village Council agreed to this suggestion if it were built at a 100 per cent cost to pit operators Blackmail Mr Agnew pointed out that if this built it would take all gravel traffic out of the town open up new lot areas and could bypass a great deal of the race track traffic out of the village If wehaetobuild this road at a 100 per cent cost and other people use it this would be a form of black mail he commented The dispute between the two parties continued for nearly minutes At one point Reeve fumed There is no personal vendetta as far as I can see m above lhat sort of thing and I resent it very much because it would not matter to me who owned that pit I don t care if it were the Premier of an off night and dropped
