Miller “damn mad” about tire storage ¢ Town of Halton Hills mayor Russ Miller burst out at Monday evening’s council meeting, saying he was “damn mad” about the irre- sponsibility of the provincial government. “They don’t make decisions, or make decisions which make a mess, and we don’t have the authority to clear up their mess,” Miller said. Currently thousands of tires are being stored outside the old Ajax building on Queen St. in Acton, and the Ministry of Energy and the Environment (MOEE) indi- “cated it would. not -get involved until the number of tires exceeds 5,000. “I don’t want another Hagersville sit- uation here,” Miller said.

Dawkins countered, mentioning the pivotal role his brother played in negotia- ions. He insisted his property deserves the opportunity to be brought up to the standard of the Acton East developers. Dawkins said he had initially asked council for servicing for more than the 110 units allotted, but will be content with this mabe if council- lors support Comnillors carried the motion.
