ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THUJRSDAV, NOVEMBER 2nd, 1967 Oe"RONO WEEKLY TIMES {Authorized as Second Class mail, Poet Office Departmenit, Ottawa) Publàsied every 'Ibur3day at the office o« publicatieS Main St.reet, Flione 109, Orono, Onmario Eoablished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edtor and Mianager Frustrati on Tlie lack of liason between various Departments of tlie Ontario Government becomes quite evident on review- ing tlie attempt by tlie Orono Police Trustees to obtain Ontario Municipal Board approval for tlieir $108,080.00 road project in Orono. Not only lias tliis project been liang- ing fire -for well over a year but its cost must surely be rising over tlie original figure of $108,080.00. Tlie recent letter fromn the Municipal Board now asks wliat provisions are to be made for sanitary treatment of the water from tlie stormi sewers. This feature lias not been considered by eitlier tlie Police Trustee Board, their engineers, tlie Department of Highways or tlie Ontario Water Resources Commission. The latter two departments are part of tlie Ontario government and liave already given tlieir approval to the sclieme witliout any mention to san- itary treatment. Botli of tliese departments are directly concerned witli such undertakings and provisions of con- struction and operation come under tlieir jurisdiction. One may now ask, "Why did the two departmnents nût consider this feature?" or "wliy is it now being sug- gested that sucli treatment is part of sucli a selieme?" Sure- ly this is a lack of liason between the various departments in the government. Furtlier in tliis project tlie Trustees were askcd to have acomplete and final plan drafted before consideration would be given by the Municipal Board. Tliis is contrary to the procedure carrîed out in water and otlier sucli projects. If tlie projeet is now turned down by the Board the Vil- lage will be saddled witli at least a 6% fee on tlie total project witli no benefits otlier tlian liaving a plan wliicl can be outdated in a few years. It seems ridiculous to liave to spend se mucli time, effort and -money to find out if sucli a projeet would lie approved. They Don't Ail Watch TVY It'is often lieard today tliat everyone sits at liome in a comfortable cliair to be fed entertainment by means of television. Tliis is not exactly true for a new era is opening up witli people using tlieir spare time away from tlieir daîly work to better their knowledge and education... and even to participate in sporting activities., Mrs. Robinson, librarian at the Clarke Library, states tliat a surprising number are asking for special books on specifie subjects pertaining: to courses tliey are taking. Tliese courses are, in some cases, extensions of universities, nursing and otliers connected to tlie field of commerce, handicrafts, etc., etc. Locally tlie Clarke Higli Sehool offers courses -in typing and pliysical education and any subject in whicli a sufficient number will. enrol. Tlie Clarke Recreational Commission is sponsoring classes in Millinery and offered otlier openings. Tlie local art group and tlie Orono Band -program of musical instruction are otliers in whicli good participation is being widencd. Some residents of tlie area travel out of town on a weekly basis to study and furtlier their know ledge and education. Not everyone is being spoon fed from Television and tliis is a good sign. Tlie trend apparently is growing. Rohiehard a Leader Tlie recent return of Premier Robicliard of New Brunswick by tlie electors of tliat Province gives an indi- cation that people do recognize leadership and that tliey will accept drastiechclange in government for the better- ment of the community. Robicliard, a year ago, made sweeping changes in tlie formn of local government inlis Province. With the theme of "equal opportunity" for everyone lie brouglit many facets of local municipal governments and' boards under Éither the control of tlie provincial government or grouped tli em into large areas. Not only was lie looking for equal opportunity but also economy of operation. Tliis was accomplished at tlie time over mucli oppo- sition but it did become a fact and lias proven the leader- ship qualities of tliis Premier and bis government. Too often the polîtician sounds out bis supporters and bases bis decision on public opinion. This opinion is often narrow in scope based on personal preferences. Tlie polîtician becomes a servant of the people - - -,not a leader. This is evident in the present dcvelopinent in Hope TownshiD whe-'e the electors liesieged their representatives and had thcm turn asîde plarr irg in that riunicipality. Overniglit the Council of HLope h ave had to catch up to whlat -was evident în the first place. The development in lle Towr 4h-iis not teo rmucl Hope Pacsses The Corporation of the Town-, slip of Hope lias, as of Saturday,l a by-law to, designate an area of subdivision control. The by-Iaw received its first, second and third readings at the j second of two meetings called1 Saturday morning to deal wîth the matter. The original meeting had been scheduled for ten o'clock but con- siderable debate arose when Reeve George Finnie told mem- bers of council lieliad called tlie meeting to, discuss the matter of ",a financial responsibility witli regards to registratioxi of a su b-I division control bylaw." This -fig -I ure amounted to $2,145, lie said. Council questioned tlie relev- ancy of the matter. "Wliat does tliis liave to do witlitlie passing of the bylaw?" some questioned. Reeve Finnie said lie lad called the meeting for the sole, purpose of discussing the financial aspect and feit if council wanted to dis- cuss the actual bylaw the meeting must be adjourned and another meeting called for that'purpose. Amotion was presentedcain for the adjournmcnt and rqet ing a second- meeting to, discussI thie bylaw. Considerable discussion arose at the second meeting before the bylaw was actually passed. Hope Townsliip's legal advisor, Grant Brooks, was at the meeting and' told council if tliey liesitated in passing tlie bylaw designating an area of sub-division control tlie planning department liad indicat- ed its intensions to do so. more onerous if they (the depart- ment) Were to do so," lie said. "It miglit prove considerably He told council during tlie last few montlis there lias been "an accelerated pattern in tlie num- ber of severances wîthin tlie town- slip into small parcels. of land." As a resuit, the department lias "strongly urged the passing of a subdivision control bylaw," Mr. Brooks said. Tlie bylaw will limit tlie sale of lots to a minimum of ten acres and is designed to prevent any reoccur- ances of tlie same nature as tlie reg- istration of 390 building lots witli t he East Durliam Registry office iduring tlie montli of October. jFollowing the discovery of tlie registration Hope Twp. immed- iately souglit help in tlie matter from tlie department of Municipal Affairs and a restrainîng order was issued witlitlie registry office.
