J it Home of Halton Hills October 1375 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 103 Main South Georgetown Ontario WILLIAM Publisher MICH PHONE Mall Number Temporary town dump a good move Halton Hills rural residents must certainly appreciate con expressed by councillors Russ Miller and Mute Armstrong who arc determined to see some for of waste transfer station established locally to replace the Georgetown landfill site which closed today In particular Coun Miller has been warning regional council for over a month that the closing of the Georgetown dump could nave a disasterous effect on the local countryside Coun Miller predicted that a populace used to a Georgetown would be unlikely to drive all the way to Burlington the closest open dump to Halton Hills to get of their garbage He predicted that in stead many Hills residents would choose to dump their trash Halton Hills rural roads A cruise along many Hills roads would seem to back Coun Miller up Already too many lazy residents are choosing to dump their garbage in secluded and previously attractive rural spots rather than drive into town We shudder to think how bad this situation would become if there was no dump in the town for the more conscientious citizens that many more Halton Hills residents would join in fouling our countryside with their gar Fortunately through the forts of councillors Miller and Armstrong we wont find our selves when the Georgetown dump closes down today A temporary waste transfer station will be established on Arm strong Avenue as of tomorrow At least 10 garbage containers will be ready at the Armstrong site today This is only an interim measure and regional council with the prodding of our local coun cillors is busy trying to find a long term solution to the problem Were also pleased that while the costs of the temporary dump are high at least the region will be picking up the tab It would have been grossly unfair to stick Hills with the bill considering the town as Coun Miller said has been a good neighbour to Milton by accepting waste from that com munity for five years Undoubtedly this helped fill our dump sooner tlian had been expected With the interim dump the region seems to be headed the nght direction thanks to our local councillors were sure our rural residents are happy with this development Town should oppose traps Hats off to Hills councillor Roy Booth Coun Booth urged council to stand up to the provincial govern ment and not permit trapping in Hills because the leg hold trap would most likely be used locally Booth termed the traps one of the ever devised and urged council to exercise their as a municipality to not permit trapping in Hills as a way to ensure the traps are not used here Mayor and other council members argued that regulations concerning leg hold traps are provincial jurisdiction ana council is not entitled to comment on the type of traps used but merely is expected to permit or block trapping as a whole Coun Booth rightly pointed out that council could indeed take a stand on the pc trap being used blocking any local trapping mm Booth proposal to ban Ir ippuif would ive in ideal limit Hilton Hills to control and refusing to simply rubber stamp policies to conform with provincial legislation if councillors feel leg hold traps are offensive then simply because the provincial government is charged with determining trapping standards is not a good enough reason to allow trapping The council should use whatever means are at their disposal to ensure the trapping does not take place If like Coun Pat Patterson Hills council approves of leg hold traps should at least give that as their reason for approving trapping locally rather than avoid the and hide behind provincial jurisdiction Coun Booth deserves to be commended for trying to exercise some local autonomy in opposing the offensive leg hold traps Trees should theHERALD likeo hiving a sewage in then for obvious ic hut if on from

1979 Now the report is out with the bureaucratic title of Southern Ontario Mulimodal Passenger Studies and never Mere three more obviously wasted Heavy on jargon and light on facts report stresses obvious and buries the hard questions in a pile of words A good illustration of the kind of thinking that went into the report is the two page doubled spaced press rclcjse issued at the same time It

of the ravel game hove changed since the post OPEC slowdown of 1971 It seems unlikely well ever recapture the soaring growth rates of the past and that didn t require a three year study costing a packet of money how much no one is quite sure involving two govern menu to determine That is especially rue when the only firm recommendations in the report arc to further delay decisions about expanding present Toronto International Airport or going ahead with Pickering What we needed was a document giving clear analyses of the variables that influence travel demand how they affect growth
