represent tatives in a joint committee to set tle the solid waste disposal Issue in the Greater Toronto Area GTA Burlington Coun Walter Mulkewich led the attack on Mr proposed plan by say ing the Chairman had a secret agenda in his report on solid waste Suspiciously the Chairmans report looks like a private sector proposal he said Oakville Coun Janet Mitchell I really objectto this said Mr who

Halton doesnt deal with the problem with Metros garbage the could be the solution he said This is a Regioon that ex ports its garbage completely We do not have an approved landfill site yet Coun McLaughlin referred to the proposed Milton site on Highway which has been ten slated as a host for the Regions solid waste Hills Joe Hewitt said Halton is part and parcel of a major metropolitan area and should take shared responsibility for Metros waste Whether people like it or not this is part of Toronto ladies and gentlemen Coun Hewitt said if the Region stagnates for two months there will be more talks more reports and more garbage And with or without Haltons participation any hole in the ground becomes inviting for a dumpsite he said Coun Hewitt said he is concern ed with the Acton
