1 tftmjw g the good old days sf d sjuct ftiy yjy iv i awrfaf wvmpflfmf important from iht burlington gazette mayor anderson of oakvllle has pro posed that the planning staffs of burlington oakvllle and milton undertake a joint study of the trttown area in halton county to determine how closely knit are the needs mtvicm and interrelationships of the threa largest municipalities in the county the terms of reference of the hamilton area study could be used to start the plan ning staffs on this important survey certainly nothing but good and useful information would come from such a study and even closer relationships might develop between the three as a result of it development of the ajoritwn area of burlington is stalled for lack of services and a fictitious barrier called the improvement tree line fictitious because miltons water and twag services an sustained by water from the north of burlington milton itself wants to annex part of oak vllle to provide room for its own expansion south while development northward in bur lington is stalled oakvilles planning staff is beginning to work on a planning study of the former vil lege of bronte how will this plan dovetail with burlingtons official plan if no omt study is undertaken how will miltons plans to expand south ward square with burlingtons lack of north ward development if no consultation and joint planning are initiated it is not hard to imagine one municipality zoning an area on one side of the muni cipal boundary an rl area while the muni ctpaltty on me other side of the street n busily locating industry opposite the rl the retail areas of burlington oakville and milton don t compete with one another as the retail areas of hamilton and bur tington do so that closer relationships are a threat to no one m the commercial areas trafalgar or what was trafalgar has de veloped a talent for acquiring industry and burlingtons school costs go up as ach family with children employed there moves to burlington and the industry mere con tributes nothmg to financing the school costs for ths children o its employee nine hundred ford employees live m burlington at the national average these nm hundred people are sending about i 600 children to school in burtmgton at a cost that is borne solely by taxpayers m town oekvitte milton and burlington are l competing for industry if it were onry the tiviown ante as a whole that was mekmg industry it wouldnt matter which of the three towns an industry settled m all would benefit and the in town area would be in a much stronger financial and administrative pot i lion to attract industry from other areas could offer a variety of local ions within a single set of boundaries and would be bet ter able to cope with the demand for serv ices made by industry the problems of modern growth that each of these three towns try to cope with must be handled in new and imaginative ways sewage can be handled by package plants or by lagoon disposal water out of the north area of burlington goes directly into milton homes without any need for chemical purification so why does burling ton need enormously expensive installations in the south end of town to service an area with its own water resources towns within towns in the northern areas selfcontained as far as services go easily linked into the road pattern through joint planning action can be visualized between the lake end milton in either oakville or burlington tf councils will move their think ing up from the 18th century do both burlington and oakville need two town halls if the prospect of cooperative action would make one town hall do the work of two and at half the cost does mi t ton need a technical school if a tritown municipality can provide transpor tation for pupils to the new burlington school all of the methods by which it is pro posed that administrative costs can be cut m the wentworth countyburlington area can be applied to burlington oakville and mil ton m a manner that will open up develop ment between the lake and milton tn a way that centralized government in hamilton will never do what re we waiting for ne atrfnaja ahectieal put a stack of dollar
