2 The Caríadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 2, 1974 LyaII Accuses (From Page One) ship in a road diversion deal a few years ago. The by-law states that the 40-acre provision does not apply to lots created by ex proapriatioan. N ow,' although this lot was crea- ted by township actions, it was not technically created by expropriation, since the farmer agreed todivide his land. Under the impression that the lot had been created by expropriation, Building Inspector, Charles Warren, issued a building permit to Mr. Zondervan. There seems to be some mysteryabout the source of the erroneous information about the ex- propriation. When tbe error was discovered, a stop work order was issued and Mr. Zondervan, wbo had taken a leave of absence from his job to build his house, was forced ta wait.,1He had already completed the foundation and framed the first floor. The house he is living in now has been sold and must be vacated Nov. 20, so time is a precious commodity to him. Mr. Zondervan brought his problem complaint to the Finance Commîttee. Tempers flared as maver- ick councillor Ken Lyall insisted that lifting the work order would be con- travening the by-law and setting a dangerous prece- dent of disrespect for the law. "What we are doing is ordering Mr. Warren to break the law", he said. Mayor Rickard pointed out that any individual could start proceedings against council on this issue. In answer to a question put by Coun. Lyall, both Town Planner George Howden and By-law Enforcement Officer Horace Best, said the building permit should not have been issued. Despite all these deter- rents, the Finance Com- mittee decided to convene a special meeting of coun- ntroducing: 19" So!ny Also available: 17", 15",12", 9", 5".

BOWMANVILLE - 623-3482 cil on the spot and order the building inspector to lift the stop work order. The re- corded vote was five to one in favor of lifting the order. Coun. Lyall was the only member to oppose the measure. Coun. Lyall charged that the rules were bent be- cause Mr. Zondervan bas powerful friends on coun- cil. Several councillors and Mr. Zondervan indignantly denied this accusation but Coun. Lyall steadfastly refused ta retract his statement. Mr. Zondervan left with council's assur- ance that Mr. Warren would be informed of council's decision before office hours Tuesday morn- ing. The Statesman contacted Mr. Warren on Tuesday afternoon. He stated that he had not lifted the stop work order as council had ordered, but refused any further comment. Attempts were made to contact Mr. Zondervan but, according to his family, he was down at the building site. Asked what action would be taken if Mr. Zondervan continued construction without a building permit, Coun. Lyall replied that he would be taken to court and fined $50. Coun. Lyall was still concerned with his allegation that the rules had been bent for one individual. He insisted that there had been "political manoeuvring". According to Coun. Lyall, who professes to be very sympathetic to Mr. Zonder- van's predicament, the real lesson of the case is that municipal government is smothering in red tape. "A big developer comes down here with half a dozen lawyers and 14 chartered accountants and council bends over backwards to accommodate him. Things are much more difficut for the little guy without pro- fessional advice because of the complexity of the bureaucracy." Coun. Lyall would like to see a streamlining of the bureaucratic morass that he sees forming around town planning and the issuing of building permits. TALKS BREAK DOWN Talks broke down on Sunday between Ontario's 5,500 community college teachers and Government negotiators. As a result the teachers plan a province- wide study session on Oct. 8th which could affect the 55,000 students enrolled in 22 colleges of Applied Arts and Technology.

Goodyear (From Page One) owned Seiberling Rubber Co. of Canada Ltd., in Toronto who went out on strike last Wednesday, voted like Bow- manville to accept the latest of fer. A general wage increase, a new early retirement plan and periodic cost-of-living adjust- ments are the key provisions in a new three year contract between Bowmanville Locals 189 and 397 of the United Rubber Workers and The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of Canada Limited. Wages will be increased a total of $1,15 per hour over three years: 55 cents as of February 20. 1974; 30 cents on February 20, 1975, and 30 cents on February 20, 1976.

It will be available without reduction to a 62 year old employee who retires after 37 years of service.

Wage supplements for skill- ed trades, shift premiums, survivor's benefits and mis- cellaneous wage adjustments are also part of the new contract. With the end of the strike, said Mr. Taylor, a decision "could be expected soon" on a proposed expansion of the plant. The Company in Toron- to has been taking a look at expanding the conveyor belt operations of the Bowmanville plant for some time. The strike by the 400 workers saw numerous inci- dents during which Durham regional police were called in to assist management in entering the plant. Several times the workers refused to allow gasoline and oil trucks into the plant Gas Pipe (From Page One) setting the gas on f ire. This morning, repair crews are at the site, preparing fo remove the flattened 30' section of pipe and replace it. In the meantime, a second adjacent pipeline is in use. According to Fire Chief Jim Hayman, the pressurized gas ripped the pipe apart and flattened it as though a super can opener had been used. Firemen were unable †o ap- proach Closer than a couple of hundred feet without covering their ears because of the noise. Before i was shut off, the force blew a large deep crater about 70' across and 10 to 15' deep. It also toppled several nearby trees. This is the first reported pipe rupturing in this area since the line Was installed between 10 and 20 years ago. No estimate of the amount Of gas lost by the rupture has been released but one of the crew at the site said it probabty would have heated the whole town of Bowmanville for a year or more. vente from entering the plant for the first and only time July 29.
