B Tho Acton Free Prws Wed October Morrow steams Region action called blackmail Allegations charges and countercharges bounced around Regional Council chambers like a tennis ball in a hot match Wednesday During the meeting listened lo volumes of conflicting stones concerning the controversial townhouse development in Georgetown Regional Public Works officials were set lo rip out a six foot section of a to the recently until Councillor Morrow intervened and man aged to call off the workers Had the water been cut off families would have been without water service Before Ihe meeting was over Mr was to be accused of illegally hooking up to municipal services the region was accused or acting without full knowledge or the and a former Hills was accused for approving substandard services for Ihe development Tht workers were ordered lo rip up Ihe main following a meeting of Halton Regions Public Works Committee Sept During that meeting committee was told that Mr had illegally hooked up lo municipal water supply the committee told was that there was already one family living in the development Morrow blasted senior works officials for issuing the order and then leaving for a convention in Las Vegas He traced history of the development back lo 1971 He said Hills council con side red the plan or develop ment and was asked to handle the public works aspect of the agreement as region did not yel have sufficient engineering staff to handle it the agreement precluded any occupancy until the Ministry of the Environment approved of the plan He claimed Ihe ministry still hasn t given thai approval Needed Moore said the six inch water supply was necessary lo provide adequate tion Hills Works Director at time of the agreement was Peter Morris Morris apparently sanctioned Ihe development on the basis of a four inch main Since then there has been a change in staff at Hills No one has disputed the need for a inch mam and it appears that not requiring it was an oversight of the Hills engineers part The problem is complicated by fact that had already signed Ihe develop ment agreement and set his prices before the region made ihe demand for the six inch line tost runs just over Put ii Some councillors suggested that either the developer would to absorb the cost or Hills would have to pay it Councillor Morrow said I know who should pay the but argued it was most unreasonable for the region insist on monies after the agree meat had been reached Decision on the matter was deferred a staff report Both Hills and the regional slaff will attempt to sort out the of contradictions and Meanwhile over ire reported to be living in homes said Hills Council set the price of the homes at thai time and claims because of that the homes sold for 500 instead of Ihe thai might be expected under the current market lxitsof lime Morrow said the region had had lots of time to ask tht developer for any service deemed necessarv But the region did not suggest the worked out by Hills Council and Mr wasn t sufficient undl the builder asked for a permit to hook up sewer and water lines At thai point the builder was denied permission because region deemed it lo re pi act a four inch lint with a six inch line By this time Mr had all of his costs calculated and his prices set He refused lo pay of the cost to the size of mam Morrow supported Pilutli and accused ht region of blackmailing the faced with those conditions I would hove done the same thing he said Kip up We would have ripped your line up too Public Works committee member Bill Mison said I m so sick and

Board of Education 21 a month lo pay IB teachers three of whom are only part time teachers not lo teach regular classes Superintendent of Instruction John Boich re vealed the staggering figures in an interview this week Last month Board of Education removed regular teachers from schools throughout the region and placed them in a special pool to do supply teaching and work on special programs different schools The plan was to leave them in the pool until each could be placed in a full time teaching position once there had been enough resignations or maternity leaves or leaves of absence to create 25 openings Boich said as of the end of September the pool of 25 teachers had been trimmed back to and expects thai everyone in the pool will be placed in a full time position by the end of December The creation of the special pool was caused by Ihe hiring of too many teachers for the number or elementary pupils registered in classes in The board could not lay off Ihe teachers We are recouping as much of the money wc are paying these people by having ihem supply teach By having Ihem supply leach we don t have spend money we would rmally use for supply teachers noted He said he expects the board can recoup as much as half or more of the money it is paying out in full time wages lo the extra teachers by using them as supply teachers noted the board has been encouraging teachers lo reduce the amount of ab senteeism so Ihe use of supply leachcrs could be cut back so there might nol lurn out to be as much absentee ism as has been expected Even wilh teachers removed from regular teaching staff the board si ill found its pupil teacher ratio below policy There are supposed to be 5 pupils per teacher but alio is presently pupils per teacher noled if the board had brought the pupil teacher ratio down lo mother 16 to teachers w ha had to be chopped from regular teaching rolls If none of teachers hail been returned to the classroom on a regular basis all during 197677 school year it would cost the board wages Bui with an ixtra to 20 teachers not working regularly then that figure would soared over Ihe a year mark concluded while the number of students in classes in mid were l pupils below projections that was trimmed to by end of the month EVERY MONDAY BINGO Now held in GEORGETOWN ELKS LODGE 45 Mountain view Georgetown Early Bird Garnet 30 Doors Open
