Free Press Wednesday Dec Morrow asks Continued from Page Commission report should not and cannot be used as authority Tor a Hills route since the proper north south route was not part of the original terms of reference of the Solandt Commission Second the option chosen by BUI the environmental group appointed by the government to assist Solandt was not finally chosen by Solandt option had been pursued then the corridor would not be going through Hills And finally electrical demand and consumption has changed since Solandt did his report The letter also points out that the ministry a report on the Bradley to Milton transmission corridor which clearly indicated that from a system approach the corridor should not go through Hills at all if the power con is to get full value from the investment in power generation and equipment proposed for the southwestern part province The letter points out the Government has adopted as pnnciptc the multiple use of utility corridors such as the Parkway Belt and suggests it could uphold its policy by Winning existing corridors along 401 Highway from Kit to Milton and by utilizing the existing corridor from Junction to Kitchener Then the letter asks since the Bell wood Junction to Kitchener connection has been com pleted why it could not be permanent and upgraded to instead of forging a new corridor through virgin territory such Halton Hills The letter suggests the Slater Report provides a much more secure system using the three transmission corridor alternative Further we wonder if the security of the system is really the paramount concern the letter states when all of the power north south cast west is to be fed into one sub station In Milton While we know the line from Bruce to Colbeck has been completed that still will not prevent the use of the Essa alter native by connecting the line from to Essa which I understand can be done very easily or in the alternative the Kitchener401 route is still available I note that the Municipal Board hearing has been scheduled for early January but I am also informed that an application for prohibition to prevent the Ontario Municipal Board from hearing the matter has already been filed by the Town of Hills Further motions will be brought to the Ontario Municipal Board to adjourn the OMB hcarinp pen ding the outcome in the courts of the application for lion Even if the hearing goes on scheduled the decision finally made by the Ontario Municipal Board will probably be petitioned to the Cabinet and or matters may be taken to the Courts Thus timing wise there still could be a great time period before this Official Plan and zoning by law matter is finalized I sincerely believe that your agreement to independent study is all the are really after and if then in the long run the tunc period required by Hydro to finalize its transmission corridor from Bruce will indeed be shortened Mororow concluded In summary then I would respectfully request you to permit one last independent study of this particular issue This will assist the citizens of the Region of and the Town of Hills be able to rest assured whether they agree with the final results of that study or not that indeed there has been a full and final study with an examination of all the letter continued Obtuary Ethel Airdrie buried Dec 5 Funeral services were held Rev Andrew MeKcnzie December 15 for
