LyaI Call for Cuts In Children's Aid Society Fxpenditure Councillor Ken Lyal, one of1 five Durham Regional Coun- cillors on the Children's Aid Society Board, made an un- muccessful attempt to limit axpenditures in the society's 1975 budget. The regional council on Wednesday, May 28 approved a 37 per cent increase in its budget. The cost to the region how- ever, actually decreased from last year's levy of $375,000 because the provincial share of the costs increased from two thirds to 80 Der cent. The 1975levy to the region is about $320.000. Councillor Lyall stated in-J flation exists today "because people in authority like our- selves haven't the guts to say no to expenditures like this. ' He added that the "rubber stamping" of expenditures was getting out of hand. He referred to the provincial Goodyear Plant Here Packs Biggest Conveyor Be/t Ever ~s or1975 grant system as 'pie-in-the- sky' which comes back to haunt us. The costs hits the taxpayer no matter how the budget is paid for. Councillor Jim Potticary pointed out that unless an alternative is found the sy- stem will have to continue. Councillor Ruth Bestwick made a common criticsm that Councillor Lyall hasn't come up with any constructive criticsm or aiternatives. Councillor Lyall stated he is becoming unpopular because of his requested cuts and he is being referred to as "the happy hangman." He says he is not against any one activity of the Children's Aid Society but is strongly opposed to the increasing size of govern- ment. "These things have to be said and I bloody well say them but if it was any other committee I'd be hollering for cuts, too'. Trent U.

AMPCO Restrains Hydro Increases One of the province's most important groups of electric power consumers has today taken a further ste in its bid to restrain capital spending and rate increases by Ontario Hydro. The Association of Major Power Consumers in Ontario (AMPCO), in the first issue of a four-page news bulletin, Current Topics, takes aim at Hydro's capital spending pro- gram and, particularly, at the almost 30 per cent rate hike proposal which goes before the Ontario Energy Board June 9. This proposal is to set 1976 rates, but planned further rate increases would almost double Hydro rates by 1978. In a lead editorial state- ment, the Association says the rate hike proposal threatens tne competitive positions of sore of its alMost 40 member companies, and that it is out (i line with current economic realities. "This run-away program of capital expenditures and huge rate increases cannot be borne by the industries and the people of Ontario," AMPCO states. The Association also repeats its call for industry represen- tation on the board of Ontario Hydro on the grounds that the government utility does not have to answer to sharehold- ers and, in fact, will run a The heaviest conveyor belt ever shipped from Bowmanville plant in one piece is prepared for its trip to an iron mine at Sept Iles, Quebec.

Bill Crossey (at top of ladder) attaches crane hooks, aided by lead hand, Bill Lush (front), and Reuben Nash- Wingfoot Clan further deficit of $86-million next year, even with the proposed increases. The publication carries a chart which shows that rate increases since 1965, and projected rate increases, are far steeper for the group of industries which buy their power directly from Ontario Hydro than for customers as a whole. The news bulletin carries a photo of a statue of Sir Adam Beck, recognized as the father of the Ontario hydro-electric system, and the inscription "whose labours have ensured that the oiitizens of his native provine und ~ co-aeraáie muneiipal ownership shall enjoy the benefits of low cost electrical energy derived from water power sources to serve the industrial and do- mestic needs of the Province of Ontario Forerunner of the industry group AMPCO was a regional association formed in the early 1960's which then ex- panded to include most of the major manufacturers across the province. It's new narne reflects an even broader base as it now makes provision for participation by large power users who buy their energy from the municipal utilities, as well as the original group composed of direct customers. Ontario industry as a whole consumes about one third of Hydro's output.
