2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 28, 1975 Town Staff (Continued From Page One) is covered by a secondary plan. It appeared to be a straight case of discrimination. Other projects here that may be in jeopardy as region tries to cut its costs for this year, may include the expansion of the sewage treatment plant, trunk sewers on Mearns Avenue and Soper Creek. Newcastle's regional councillors intend to fight any such move to a standstill. Mayor Garnet Rickard, who apparently was well aware of Osh- awa's opposition to the regional sewer and water rate; used the local meeting to voice some opinions on Oshawa councillors who in his view were being 'parochial'. Newcastle, since the region was formed, has been helping pay for Oshawa's roads and now he couldn't see why they should be unwilîing to subsidize public works in other parts of the region. In the long run, the mayor believes the main ones to benefit from regional government will be the large urban centres such as Oshawa. He didn't elaborate this point, and it's doubtful at this point that Oshawa councillors would agree. The next chapter in the unfolding drama of regional council comes today when they ail get together in Whitby to air their grievances and try to work out solutions. There probably will be a surplus of heat at the meeting and not much light, with Oshawa and others possibly threatening to withdraw from the region, if the province would let them, rather than accepting the rate proposais. Our councillors could also threaten the same drastic action if they don't get their way. It's difficult at this point to see what the outcome will be. The whole affair might well be an exercise in verbal gymnastics, in the hope that word of the problems reaches the ears of top provincial politicians, especially those on the government side. In an election year, it would be good politics for the government to make certain its controversial regional councils are happy and well-financed. So, a few extra millions in special grants here and there might just keep things under control, until after the next election.

Mr. Warren suggested a more central location would be more suitable and added the public would have to travel through the clerical area to reach those departments which usually deal most with the public. Recreation director T.A. Fanning said not enough space bas been budgeted in the proposal for his depart- ment and expressed concern that noise from the recreation shop would bother adjacent office workers. Town solicitor Edward Me- Neely said the orooosed Dur- chase would be legal. However, he noted, an amend- ment to the zoning bylaw would likely be necessary before the building could legally be used as an adminis- trative centre. If the Ontario Municipal Board knew the land was not properly zoned at the time of purchase, he warned, the OMB might not approve the purchase. Liberals (Continued From Page One) Beck had built a radial electric railway running from Toronto to Bowmanville in 1912 but the tracks had been ripped up and melted down during the early part of the First World War. Since then, Mr. Lovekin said "the planning idiots haven't comé up with anything that could equal Sir Adam Beck's idea." "They'd rather tear down an existing building so they , can spend a million dollar building for a bus station, rather than use the existing train depot across the street," he added. Trudeau (From Page One) December, 1977, when present legislation calling for the death penalty for ki1ers of on-duty policemen and prison guards expires. Turning to wage and price controls, he said he believes many Canadians think the federal government bas adopted or is adopting such mandatory measures, even though they aren't currently being considered. "We fought them in the last election and we haven't dealt with them yet. The govern- ment is hoping the country will exercise voluntary re- straints." He asked members of the news media to examine how the publie gets the impression the government was taking such action, but.was asked by a reporter if he was willing to take an equal share of the blame for not being fully clear in statements to the press on the matter. "lI'l take as mdlch blame as the press usually does - not very much," he said. Mr. Trudeau was asked why the federal budget presenta- tion was postponed to June 23 from the end of\this month, and said he would soon be leaving for a NATO confer- ence in Europe.

Councillor Kirk Entwisle stated that unless the fire hall is built on the site they have now, just north of the present fire hall on Mill Street, it would not be built this year. He stated that we can not wait for the Murray V. Jones study. Councillor Lyall remarked on comments made by Town of Newcastle Fire Chief Jim Hayman in the press about the present site being too small for a new fire hall in the village. Councillor Lyall stated that it was a political decision and the chief was wrong in being involved. He added that the chief would do better to get some action taken on cleaning up a lumber pile on the property where Lisa Villa sits.

Mrs. Fred Glanville, the village fire chief's wife told the Canadian Statesman that the purpose of holding an open house was to show the public how small the present lire hall is.
