Hobbs stated at Mon- day's Councîl meeting that hie thinks the present taxpayers are going to have to pick up the burden. "OHAP is putting money into bousing, but it s a drop in the buc et. Who's going to pay for education?" He cited the exampile of the million dollar filtration plant opened last year, which is only in its first phase. He ques- tioned who wîll be responsible for the next phase coming soon, and speculated that the taxpayers will have tobear the load. Lack of mýajor industrial and commercial deveîopment, which would bear a sizable portion of the tax load. compo unds the- problem, 1He pinted out that before regional Government in 1974, 33 percent of Bowmanville's assessment, was commercial. However, with amalgamation, that proportion has droped to just 15 Der cent. Predict 30,000 (Continued I'rom Page One) 14,000 square foot new centre. This would assist renovation and imited redevelopment. The new shopping centre. would be at King-and Simpson Avenue. According to the plan indu- stry will be consolidated in the areas adjacent to Highway 401 and the CN rail line. The plan goes into detail studying the patterns of shoppers in Bow- manville and commuting. t also gives an analysis of the number that commute to work west of Bowmanville. t states that Bowmanville is a bed- room area and will continue to be so. <The Couirtice Concept is for a greater population, the plan- ners feeling it is wliere growth should be. Bowmanville now has 11,000, with an additional committed population of 4,500 and the new proposed popula- tion is 14,500 gîving a total population of 30,000. The Preliminary Concept plan for Bowmanville was prepared by Murray V. Jones an d Associates Limited, Urban and Regional Consul- tants, and Richard Strong - .Steven Moorhead Limited, Barton-Aschman Canada Limited, and Community Social Planning Associates for the Town of Newcastle. 1An expanation of how the Bowmanville Secondary plan is to be prepared reads as follows. The Bowmanville Secondarý plan will evolve through a process of feedback and refinement. t, is pre- sented now to the public as a concept plan without formal status, and following a period of response to the public and interested bodies it will one again be presented as a refined concept. t will then be formalized into a Draft Offi- cial Plan Amendment and submitted to Council. Follow- ing submission, public hear- ings will be hejd. There will therefore be two informal progress meet- ing s with t he public at different stages of plan evolu- tion prior to formal hearings and it is the consultants' intention also to hold addi- tional meetings wth interest g roups and individLualS. This document accoraparies the first public progress meeting. Once the Secondary Plan is approved, the further steps of rezoning and approval of plans of subdivision and possibly site plans are neces- sýaiirybefore registration and builng permits can be ob- tained. LAST YEARS NEWS Just a year ago, in The Statesman of JuIy lOtir, AI Lawrence had just been re- elected to the House of Commons. Secondary School teachers lan the area had received a 13.5 per cent boost in their salaries. Recently, they turn- ed down a 26,per cent raise offered by the board. 23 Xing St. E. 623-5515 Bowma nviilie Trylng ta See What's Goîng ta Happen Here On Thursday evening, prior to the Bowmanville Concept meeting at Bowmanville uigh Sehool, there was a bit of confusion over what the town should charge those who wanted copies of the study. So, while people were waiting to purchase their copies, many of them walked, on stage where several large maps had been set up, with the proposed changes marked in. NDP Candidate Expresses Concern Over New Nuclear Generating Station, Societyâ's Violence and 'Soft Laws' The founding meeting of the Durham East N.D.P. Riding Association was held at M.J. Hobbs School last Wednesday. The~ guest speakers were Mike Breaugh of Oshawa and Doug Moffatt N.D.P. ca ndidate for Durham East. Mr. Breaiqgh spoke largely about the needs and mechan- ics of running an election campaign. He spoke of the nee to canvass prope(rly, to meet the public directly and to inform the voters about the candidate and the party. Doug Moffatt spoke on two main areas of concern - the proposed Nuclear powered generating station in Darling- Court ice Concept (From Page One) purchase the land needed for the golf course and treed area. Gerrard said that the meet- îug wýasclldt"dmsiy the plan. The Courtice concept lays the groundwork for the proposed expansion of the area to 45,000 ta 60,000 residents by the year 2000. Apparently, many local resi- dents felt 'that the similar public meeting which toak place last March 5 was a "snow job". Gerrard reported that no data was available on the "impact an town finances". Translated, this means that, residents can not yet be told how much their taxes will increase ta pay for the new services which will bie needed. Conveniently for the planners, this information will not bie available until the end of the month. The mast emotional issue debated during the question periad was the praposed population density figures. As many as 60 faily units will be mn ion one_ acre ai land. ,William Roka, an urban studies student at the Univer- sity of Toronto, said that no study was being done of the sociological impact of high density on future Courtice residents. He suggested that the Bowmanville Concept could bie revised. Currently, Bowmanville is slated ta have a population of 30,000 by the year 2000. "Why nat let Bowmanville take some of the burden off of Courtice"', he said., .Another impassioned speak- er suggested doing away with the plan altogether. "Canada has more land than any other country in the world, " lie said. "Why'do we have ta throw al the advantages of aur semi- rural way of life down the drain". .Mr. Gerrard repied that it ail boiled down ta economics. "Growth will take place in any case," hie said. "Why not have co-ordinated, sensible, and functional growth by planning ahead." Ann Cawman, Ward 1 repre- sentative on the Newcastle Council, pointed out that the- decision for high density was really made at the provincipl level. Gerrard replied ta this observation, saying, "We really believe high ta medium density makes sense. The province has not pushed this decision down, aur throats." Coun. Cowman was also told that the idea for a greenbelt between Oshawa and Courtice had been rejected. "We feel that Courtice bas no definite identity ta pratect," said Gerraril. "A real feeling of community is anly now begin- ning ta emerge. " He explained that it was almost inevitable that Courtice would eventu- ally bie swallowed up by Oshawa no matter what the planners might do. Local residents stili have an opportunity ta make presenta- tions of their views ta plan- ners. Hawever, time is run- ning out. A representative of the Provincial tIGoverninent said that work on the main sewage trunks is scheduled ta begin in 1976. ton west of Mfe presenit $t. Mary's Cement plant, and secondly about violence and "soft laws". Mr. Moffatt suggcsted that the Ontario Hydro was going ahead with a nuclear powered generating station'near Bow- manville in spite of the fact that bis would mean a strip of land about 600 feet wide would be tomn out of Darlington Township for the transmission corridor. This strip would take more land than the Courtice Concept propose' to expro- priate and people are upset about that. The power is essentially to supply Metro Toronto. Regional Govemnment was rammed down the throats of the people east of Metro, he said, to stop the growth of the monster. If this is really to happen why are more power facilities needed? Other parts of Ontario need such a stimulus. Toronto is large eug;thereý is a need to supply other parts of Ot, , ario. People should be put first on any such priority list. We do not need ta' debate whether Hydro power should be piped into Metro. We cannot afford to keep supplying "Coals ta Newcastle". The need is not Saramount but the cost would e. Hydro already owes inter- est on money borrowed1 5 years ago and this cost is going up daily. The second major concern talked about was violence. TV. and radio comm ercials today are slanted toward a reaction ta "soft laws ,' Mr. Moffatt declared. The people la Ontario are fed up wîth the laws being ignored and with a judicial and court system which does not seem ta know what is expected of it. The people are înterested in firm and fair laws not retribution or. dictatorial practices.' To- day, federal penitentiary employees stayed home for a day to mourn the death of a fellow guard in Quebec. They wanted a law which is on the books upheld and enforced. The law houflô be firm, fair' and enforced.
