would also ran directly alongside the woodbine racetrack and tor onto international airport it is estimated in the study that approximately 8700 trips per day would be generated be- 1 tween georgetown

annual oper ating deficit of 14 million dol lars the local commuter train routo was ono of two- westerly extensions of the go system calculated in the study the other would utilize the existing cpr railway line between mil ton and a terminus at the westerly end of the bloor subway line a distance of twentyfour miles this one would provide direct subway access for residents of milton erindalc

the land now that the hal ton county board of education is in operation but since land wias carmarked for a school site it was mandatory to give theni tho right to buy at the same price however as a precautionary measure the phrase if the land is hot used for bchool purposes it must be sold back to the town at the same price was added to the motion a good deal in this day of high land costs mayor steam er emmerson termed the 3- 500 an acre price for the five and a half acres in moore park for a public school site at coun cil monday council agreed to transfer the right to buy the land at this prico id the halton county board of education the price was originally set in 1965 when an agreement was slgntd with townwide investments to pro ceed with the moore park dev elopment now the agreement

ready to go said mr pennington we would like councils permission to start negotiations immediately with township officials and staff in this way we can assure that our thinking is completely coordinated with the proposed development of the entric town ship we will need all the advice opinions and assistance we can get and our clients are most an- xious to proceed immediately with studies and negotiations to result in a stimulating new breed of development in which the township of chinguacousy ontario and canada may be justifiably proud mr pennington said his pro- posals were not just
