Tho Acton Press Wednesday Jan Doubling salary of MPs not priority now says Suggestions to double tho salaries of of Parliament over next three years dont draw much enthusiasm from Otto A recent report which has yet to be submitted to either Parliament or the Cabinet called for phased increases that would take the salary of an MP from the current to by Jan In addition the report recommended annual in creases after that to compensate for Inflation Beyond their base salary MPs also receive a tax free allowance of In a telephone in terview Mr said he had not seen the report on which the recom mendations were based and I don t think that should be a priority item right now Although I believe that the salaries of elected representatives should keep up with the cost of living I dont think increases should be higher than the rise in the if press reports on the recommendations were accurate he did not think they would pass parl iament but this is still something that we should put on a back burner Im not against in creases generally so long as they are kept to the increase in the coat of Arlle White supervised an em My or this nativity crib St Josephs Roman Catholic Church for the

Continued from page and much more economically but the problem with minority interest groups they delay much needed services which are inevitable Snow said ho Is all for public participation but this time when things have to be done some people dont like for the greater good of the majority there comes a time when the Job must be done Snow said he say there wont ever be another corridor in this area but he knows of no plans for one and certainly there won t be another in the next three yeara After fixing up Main St and Mill St in Acton as well as reconstructing Highway from Acton to Guelpb Snow noted starting in 1982 reconstruction will begin on Highway from Milton to Acton in three phases The first phase will be between the and Speyside roads he thought The road will be rebuilt between Highway 401 and Five Slderoad In another phase and between Speyslde and Actor in the final phase Truck climbing lanes over the Escarpment will be benefit The road be built to the same new high standard as Highway 7 from Acton to Guelph with two 12 foot driving lanes and two paved shoulders Snow pointed out the way High way 7 was rebuilt between Acton and was the first time a road was reconstructed like that in Ontario Asphalt shoulders will trim road main tenonce costs on Highway as well as ending accidents where drivers run off the road onto gravel lose control and wind up In accidents Next summer Highway will be widened to six lanes between Trafalgar Road and Highway Snow said He noted former Liberal leader Bob Nixon complains he widened the highway to six lanes only to Hornby where Snow lives but now It will be six lanes a little further He said there is always the possibility there will be a Highway by pass around Georgetown and Acton but not in the forsecable future The expressway proposed many years ago is officially dead and no longer included In provincial planning because nobody particularly council wanted the bypass By passes can cause a lot of problems because of environmental impact problems and the concern of taking farm land out of production However Snow rejects claims by passes reduce business trade In downtowns In March Snow will celebrate years in cabinet and he said the time has gone by very quickly He recalled his votes and credited bis success to the hard work of people like Fran and Terry Balnes Not all the Snows have been Tories he noted they still arent all Tories and remembered visiting his uncle Ed election day in 1967 early In the morning and finding his relative had already voted Snow said he wasnt sure if his uncle went to the polls early to vote for or against him but his uncle never displayed a Liberal sign while he was running However as soon as he ran in uncle Ed dlsplaycdaGntsign He talked fondly of his post as Minister of Transport as well as previous appointments as Minister Without Portfolio and as Public Works or Government Services Minister Ontarios transportation system Is an excellent one Snow declared noting there are miles of provincial highways and miles of municipal roads and streets Queens Park helps finance There are also million vehicles ana drivers in Ontario He said he likes to Joke with his colleagues con cerned with social and family services and how their budgets have gone up2h times more than his Snows current budget Is 199 billion an awful lot of money but discovers each year that it spreads pretty thin He spends a lot of his time on GO Transit and the Urban Transit Development Corporation Pointing to the growth both in terms of passengers carried and expansion of service like GO trains soon to be in Milton Snow said It Is a costly system to run The MUton GO train line will cost about ISO million The parking lot Is completed and the will go to tender soon Rail riders went up 10 per cent last year and bus riders In Georgetown Milton and Acton soared 23 percent in He said he has received letters requesting GO rail service to Acton and Guelph as well as calls for expansion of Georgetown GO rail service but considering costs this cant be done Snow said the bus las till the most economical trains GO very efficient in his area during rush hours but very costly to operate at nan peak riding times The province is working on development of alternatives fuels Ilka propane hydrogen and gasahol Snow said tho most encouraging alternate fuel Is propane which Canada has plenty of While research is well underway Queens Park Isnt too optimistic Snow wonders how the Liberals conclude all Ontarios energy problems will disappear If is fully developed Charles Wilson of Acton and sisters Mrs Hoy Barclay and Mrs C Ayton both of Saskatoon and Miss Cornelia Wilson of Ottawa Funeral service was held December at Shoemaker Funeral Home Rev
