POLLOCK AND CAMPBELL TALI Hydro wires mean home loss displayed a loud antipathy to Ontario Hydro proposed Volt transmission line crossing the township but reaction in and Erin townships been more restrained although there are tndi cases where owners are perturbed The proposed mile long pow line tj to link on lake with the power station at Pickering on Lake Ontario and tie in with a line from the area It crosses municipalities a foot swath with towers ranging from 120 to JO feet at intervals of about feet Lust week at a meeting with Hjdro officials in the township council chambers rate- pas direct affected the lint appeared read for land negotiations A meeting at Batltnafad ball Tuesday for Erin township passed a resolution asking for a meeting with Ontario Hydro and arrange- made for another with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to discuss land a few wanted to But underneath the moderate approach of some ratepayers there is an undercurrent of diss atisfaction Big swath On its way through Erin township the line will take down three houses and one barn and affect the life stj of people who never realized plans for the line existed for their particular propert lor instance take Mr and Mrs Jack of Acton who live on the Fourth line Erin township They have been informed that they likely will lose their drive shed and perhaps their house as the line eats up about sue of the best of their 11 acres It will also mean their dmewa and weeping bed which they spent much work on will be lost to them Six to trees they planted as an adventure In could also be lost to the axe nit couple has spent 10 years working on renovations to their earold home and estimate have spent over for improvements Naturally they art perturbed that Ontario Hydro can move in and erase the work it has taken them 10 years to complete They doubt very much if the monetary compensation will be sufficient to cover all their expense let alone the pride they have felt in the work Lute notice They feel that much of this grief could have been spared if had known a hydro line was crossing their property two years ago Then they would not have expended time and improving their property Mr and Mrs have made it known they will not leave stones unturned to hold onto what they feel is a right to a property which they have spent many years of their lives developing Over on the Seventh line north of stands the new home of Mr and Mrs Murray destined also to be removed to make for the proposed line They built their home three years ago in March and wants to take their entire lot as well as their house The line has to go someplace says Mr I altos philosophically I ike others at meeting at hall he feels those affected don t have much choice in the matter The line is to go through in spite of their feelings Land tips Sinclair of Georgetown fttls the only way to deal with Hydro is to take some tips on land expropriation from the O A and endeavor to get full value for land and buildings which must make way for the line He notes there has been a lack of communication somewhere along the line which could not be blamed on township officials who had word of the proposed line but no guide lines to know exact whose property it would affect The line will go right through his farm but no buildings will be affected He told the Fret Press one hdro official told him there was a possibility of a transformer station being constructed on the fifth or Sixth I as well as towers for tht hydro line Golf hazard Further west between the First and Second lines of Erin township stands the Acton Meadows Golf Course with expansion plans for another nine holes The line could affect expansion plans Hydro officials art very much aware the could be a can of worms if the bothered golfers who only one course in this vicinity officials are keeping fingers crossed And should too if they don want to loop their drives over high traasmission lines To some the new line is just mother construction project which will satisfy the need for more power others view it as an but those who most affected probably will never have all their story told SEND flower christma VISIT YOUR LOCAL
