There will be no enqury into the Town of Newcastlesi financi'al affairs by the Ministry of TreasUry Economics and Intergovernmn-ctal Affairs, it was announced Moriday by the provincial treasurer. Darcy McKeough stated that despite letters from two raterjayers' groups calling for an eniquiry uinder the Municipal Act, the m,,inistry, did flot feel that the items identified by the group as needing investigation required it. Fred Hamblin, field' services branch director, said that unequal taxation was a problem in the area and the municipality and ministry were investigating the matter to see if there was any solution. The ratepayers also requested the ministry investigate the financial implications of two Courtice area subdivisions. This request was denied 'on the basis of Ontario Municipal Board approval being awarded last week. Mr. Hamblin pointed out that the municipality's decision to allow development in the Courtice area was not a policy decision within the jurisdiction of the province. "There is always some person who is unhappy about a policy decision made by some government, " he said. The ministry has not recommend- ed any action to the town and said that they did not see an y sense in the ratepayers appealing t he decîsion to, the cabinet since the ministry had failed to uncover anythirpg., The only problem identified by the mimistry in the town's administra- tion was a management problem. Mr. Hamblin noted, however, that this problem was being rectified by the town. Over the past year, the town has instigated a study of town manage- ment and hired several new depart- ment heads, the most recent being Leslie Kristof, town planning direct- or. Members of the ratepayers groups were unavailable for comment and were informed of the decision in a letter from the ministry.

Bowmanville Telephone 623-2504 Planners, Complete ail but1 Two Officiai Plans In-House Oshawa's city council can squabble all it wants about whether or not it needs a planning director, but it appears Newcastle has made a wise move in obtaining the services of Leslie Kristof after only a month in his position only two official plans for the municipality remain to be completed. Mr. Kristof, in a verbal report, informed the planning and develop ment committee at its Monday night meeting, district plans for all of the hamlets within the Newcastle boundary are not only complete, but they were completed 'in-house' at a considerable saving to the town. According to the director, the department is ready to tender Bowmanville and Newcastle Village plans, but asked council to allow an inventory to be carried out through the Hydro agreement first in an effort to save more money. At Monday's meeting, the director passed )ut copies of the Enniskillen district plan for council and staff comments. Once these are received, the town will caîl a public meeting and release the plans for public comment. Tenders opened recently estimat- ed the cost of producing t he hamlet plans at somewhere between $16,000 and $18,000 depending which consulting firm was awarded the contract. Doing the plans 'in-house' saved the bulk of that cost. Mr. Kristof, claimed hydro inventory work will allow the town to renegotiate the tenders for Bow- manville's and Newcastle's official plan. Because of the overlap, certain information and mapping will not be required when doing the official plan and thereby eut down on the time and work required of the consultant firm. He also informed the committee the price quoted by the department for the two remaining plans when the tenders were opened was incorrect due to removal of the cost of the plans which would be incurred in 1979. Since the plans would be completed over a two year period, the department had budgeted the cost over two year thereby causing the apparent discrepancy in the figures. The committee apparently was satisfied with the department's progress and'Mr. Kristof's report, And recommended council authorize the Hydro inventory.
