said Joint land purchase By MAGGIE HANNAH Herald Special A provincial committee which finances land purchases for the Escarpment Commission fs looking with favor on a plan for the NEC and Halton Region to jointly buy a Lime- house wrecking yard Ivor Chairman of the NEC and ViceChairman of the ra Escarpment Committee which finances land purchases told members of planning and public works committee yesterday money may be available for a joint purchase with a municipality interested in preserving a property Generally speaking he said the Ministry of Natural Resources or a conservation authority will be the bodies charged with administering any land purchased under the escarpment Letter to the editor fund handled by a region The- cost of administering acquired lands would not be heavy if the land Is simply acquired and not used Mr McMullin said Hills has discussed the possibility of trying to buy the Hills Auto Wrecking yard on the escarpment at as one way of getting the yard moved The yard has been a constant problem for council due to neighbor complaints during the past year Some town councillors opposed the purchase idea arguing it should be done through the escarpment fund Mr reacted favorably however to Hills Mayor Russ Miller suggestion of a Joint purchase Shocked at meeting Dear Sir I m really shocked at the way Halton Hills ran their meeting Oct 15 I m writing in regards to extending the property standards bylaw beyond the borders of the downtown core A paper was proposed by Mr J Fleming at the request of town council 13 months ago He gave a talk and his proposal about how to extend the property standards bylaw to caver all the apartments in Georgetown A resolution was put on the floor by a councillor to defer it to the second Monday in December elections No councillors wanted to commit themselves because they might not be reelected if a decision would be made However I cant sec a decision being made on Dec 9 I would recommend tenants attend the meet ings in their different Wards and ask their councillor if they will support the amendment Or maybe we will get promises or more promises or we will have another Watergate Tuna gate or the gate Eddy Georgetown GAR COVERS For automobiles and RVs choose the material that meets your needs Light weight poly cot ton E This fabric comb strength soilness For the nil In outdoor on and to

Editor IN THE HILLS Our quality of life dominated reader Dear Sir It never ceases to boggle the mind how one individual Is allowed to determine the quality of lire for an entire community To be specific we have a situation in chouse whereby Mr Auto Wreckers has been allowed to renege on his first agree merit with the Site Plan Committee In regard to the placement of now Infamous fence but has now made further adjustments which the owner and the site plan committee feel arc justified In retrospect the track record far action over the past three years speaks for itself The Escarpment Commission took the Initiative and has included the property on its list for possible acquisition a very positive and realistic approach The region of took Immediate action and adjusted their road budget priorities moving a section or road in front of the wrecking yard thereby diffusing the well worn retort of The road is on my his property Now for the burning question What action has Hills Council taken in the past three years Well a new set of bylaws was passed for all wrecking yard operators A common colour Is now used for fence main tcnance Unfortunately some Council members were 111 advised regarding a clause pertaining to chain link fences for compound purposes and insisted that it had to be Inserted to accommo date one operator Auto Wreck as everyone knows took age of this clause thus the chain link fence The Site Plan Committee has proven to be extremely and has allowed an intolerable situation to become a despicable situation In a period of three years the original concern of an old rusty car carrier loaded with scrap metal and parked outside the fence on a hour basis has now turned into a situation where a chain link fence now encloses well other wrecked vehicles In essence Hal ion Hills Council this operation to facilities It is Incredible to think that three years have passed and the res dents of chouse continue to be scapegoat between local council and the wrecking yard Believe it or not there is more this saga than what has already been discussed The laying of charges under the bylaws has proven to be futile as Three frustrating sessions in the courtroom in Milton have certainly revealed Ihc quirks and whims of those In the position of Judicial authority and power To the citizens of Hills I urge you to make time and take a drive to Come and see this mess which has come to pass which Councils past and present have laid Thanks lo Knights Dear Sir As CoChairmen of the recent campaign in Georgetown and district lo solicit donations tor the
