WiIIExpropriate Schwarz Land f or Sewer Easement After almost a year of fruitless wrangling and several council appearances by various lawyers, Bowmanville's Town Council has decided, to expropriate a sewer easement from Joe and Carl Schwarz so that housing subdivisions in the Waverley Road can proceed. The narrow strip of land involved- cuts across one-third acre of the Schwarz farm and would accommodate storm water run-off from the subdivisions into the Bowmanville Creek, a distance of 200 to 300 feet. The lawyer for the developer told council on Monday, November 5th, that the latest offer from his client, Wil-Swar Developments, totalling $25, 110, had been refused by the Schwarz family.

Driver Walks Away frorn Tractor-Trailer Accident Miraculously, the driver walked away from this tractor-trailer wreck on Highway 401 with only minor cuts. The accident took place on Tuesday morning, November 6th, just before 8:00 a.m., at the intersection of Highways 401 and 115-35. The driver, 27-year-old Gordon Barry WoodI of Scarborough, was taken to Bowmanville Memorial Hospital, treated for small lacerations and then discharged. Complete OPP reports were not available at, press time but it appears that the driver lost control of the tracetor-trailer (a 1973 GMC) in the westbound lane on Highway 401 . No other vehicles were involved and the early morning snow storm may have been a partial cause of the mishap. The big rig apparently jackknifed and ended up on its side in the median strip. It took work crews almost all day to transfer the load andl remove the wreck.

When he came out, someone h d tossed several eggs into the interior where thy dripped down through the heater openings on t e dash. He worked hours trying to dlean up the remains, but the smell of rotten eggs is goingt linger for some time.1 FIRST SNOW - Tuesday morning, the first snow of the year came tumbling down, accom- panied later in the day by high winds that resulted in a chili factor of 10 above zero. Out came the heavy coats and mitts and motorists began thinking about those snow tires, while others wondered where their skis were. INCREASE - If you are one of those whose Statesman subscription comes due at this time of year, you'll save a dollar by, paying for your renewal before Dec. lst. After that date, the rate goes up to.$8.00 to help pay for some of the several increases in newsprint' cost, hydro, oil heating, ink, wages, etc. that have jumped considerably since the $7 rate was established several years ago. We hope you'll stili think it's. a bargain! SANTA'S COMING - Don't forget the big Santa Claus Parade here on Saturday, Nov. l7th beginning at 10:30.

The OSWCA letter deait with two late tenders the Bowmanville Council had accepted at their October meeting for contracts involv- ing a CMP culvert and a sanitary and storm sewer installation. Aprile Contracting Limited had submitted the two tenders 30 minutes after the stipulated deadline and, to compound the problem, the Scarborough firm had entered the lowest bids in both cases and was awarded the two contracts. The letter from the OSWCA stated, "We are most dis- pleased with their (Council's) action in this matter and would hope that no sucb similar action wiil occur in the future." It added the associa- tion was prepared to inform their contractors of the Bow- manvilie practice unless the council "were ta satisfy. us that sucb practice... will not occur again."
