This may seem to be a small amount of fuel but when multiplied by the number of unnecessary stops made at intersections' across the Durham Region, it is not. In fact, justeliminating the 700 unwarranted stop signs in the Durham Region could resuit in a savings of $789,000 per year in fuel, according to statistics from the works department. If a stop street has a low traffic volume of only 1,000 cars per day, one stop sign on a roadway is the cause of ai extra 3,000 gallons of gasoline being consumed in one year. "Considering the cost in wasted fuel dollars and the unnecessary consumption of this unrenewable resource, the removal of even one-hal: of the unwarranted stop signs would be a worthwhile objective resulting ir signîficant savings," said the works department. "There are literally hundreds of unwarranted stop control signs at intersections throughout the Region of Durham. These 'signs have been installed over the years for various reasons such as tc increase through traffic. Although well-intentioned, innumerable traffic studies have proven time and time again that unwarranted stop control signs do not' accomplish these aims.

Morris Weston and Brian Van Dam told'the committee that tthe site of the Burketon ibasebail diamond is up for sale and the village has been informed that the diamond cannot be u-sed any longer.' Residents suggested that the municipality purchase about five acres of, land located just south of the railway tracks and west of old Scugog Rd. At present, the Town of Newcastle does not own any property suitable for a park ia the village. "It's quite true the town doesn't own any property in Burketon," said Councillor Ana Cowman. She added that the land designated for a park in a plan for the village is too hilly. At present, two subdivisions are in the process of being approved in the Burketon area and one possibility facing the Town of Newcastle is to request cash contributions from the subdivisions in lieu of parkland. Funds provided from the subdivisions could then be used to finance a park. The community services committee recommended to couacil that the park be referred to the planning and development committee to see what stage development plans (Intended for Iast week) Ruby Griffin was a double winner at Friday night's euchre game, winning second place ta ('harles Nesbitt's high score, then coming up la the 50-50 Draw.
