is generally acknowledged if the Third Line was redirected through the quarry then the dump proposal would get caught up in bureaucratic red tape for years to come As it stands now the dump pro posal is expected to go before the Ministry of Environment late this year for final consideration Contacted Mayor Miller said the Town has directed its lawyers to determine if the agreement with is legally binding The lawyers have so far said the Towns case is weakened because the agreement has not been registered in title Asked why the agreement wasnt registered Mayor Miller replied it was a lack of good ad ministration staff at the time Town AdministratorClerk Dan said the agreement isnt legally binding but we feel In has a moral obligation to follow through with the agree ment The controversy surrounding the agreement also involves the fact that when sold the property to United Aggregates in the mid80s the reconstruction of the Third Line was omitted from the purchase agreement No one appears to be able to justify this omission If the Town is right and the IndusminTown agreement is weakened because it wasnt registered then why was In dusmin allowed to start quarry ing activity in the first place questioned Mr Young If the agreement isnt legally binding then the Town should be able to take over the property and reconstruct the Third Line itself he said When asked if this would be possible given the property was purchased by United Ag gregates Mr Young speculated the agreement between United Aggregates and is not legally binding since the Town agreement with Indusmin wasnt legally binding The Town lawyer couldnt be reached for comment on this matter at press time 70th Anniversary The Womens Institute held a special party last Sunday at the Memorial Hall as the
