feet of overburden According to a stud showed the area has the best tank in the township Does it make sense to take land that is good for waste disposal and turn it into a pit he asked went on to point out the township gels nine per cent of its total assessment from commercial and that a section of the official plan states there would be an attempt to retain the rural character of the township He said he didnt think roads in the area of the site are suitable for trucks Sums up concluded I can see how the welfare of the la going to be enhanced this pit and the welfare of inhabitants should always be paramount to private gain Replying for Mr McGee Ken charged proposals weighed in very heavily with the small residential land owner I agree the home owner protection but we must recognize

gravel can only be obtained where it exists went on to sa strip development on which most members of the Ratepayers Association live is now frowned upon planning authorities Their interests deserve protection but should not be he said Using Toronto Christie Pits park as an example reclamation of quarry land can be carried out He said there are over gravel pits in the Toronto area that have been worked out completely langdon also claimed residential assessment alone cannot provide the type of sen ices a township demands President replies president S rtfuted earlier statements made by which

provincial highway he said said his company was prepared to provide a ral employment program including job training tor local residents Company vicepresident Ian Jennings explained he was not asking for an amendment to the official plan He said in Council had passed a resolution approving establish of a quarry at the site Money spent said the company has spent on site surveying and layout plans for the quarry and another in site dearing excavation drilling and blasting Councillor Dick Howitt failed to set that the use of the land as a quarry had been established Howitt pointed out the owners have been assessed as residential for the last 10 years would agree that if we collected taxes from you for 10 years as a quarry we be pretty dirty dogs not to allow it Howitt explained Referring to the resolution Howitt claimed councils are bound only by by laws and not necessarily by resolutions Blames planner Reeve Tom Hill shoved the blame for much of the confusion over the Consolidated

has ancient origins The mistletoe was considered a sacred plant by the ancient Druids in Britain and anyone standing under it was supposed to receive divine protection Hence thieves often used it to avoid arrest and punishment Queen Elizabeth I finally abolished the mistletoe properties of legal sanctuary but the obligation to forfeit a kiss when standing under the mistle toe bough has survived
