ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIIURSDAY, JULY l8th, 1968 ORON WEELYTIMERS (-Ut iorizeci ýas Second Class, mail, Poet Offie Departmnx Otta i) PÙblished every Thursciay at tAe office of publicati<- Main Street, Phone 109, Orono, ùmario Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - :Editor land Mvanager Lets 'Be Progressive No municipal projecf of any size is ever proposed that doesn'f stir up opposition. This is'certainly fre hoth i Oroio and Clarke Township af the present fime. Citizens cerfainly bave the right to lodge objections and shouid take this rigbt if they believe in fbeir cause. Too offen one sbrugs bis shoulders and lets issues pass by. This is flot the case presently in Orono or Clarke Township and we believe this expression of opinion is a heaithy sign of people 5f iii having an interest. The Orono Road project whicb again cornes before the Municipal Board on August 1sf will be opposed by a group in the Village wbo have been ciculating a pefifion in opposition to the plan. If is undersfood that a large per- cent age are signing fthe pefifion. A pefifion is also being circulaf cd in favour 'of the projeef. We believe there shocld be support for this projecf in thaf if wll be an asset to this Village and one thaf will enhance its appearance to a greaf exteht. The projecf is a af art on an overail plan of providing Orono wit b proper roads' curbs, gutters and sforrn sewers. If also appears, under present day conditions,, to be well wifbin the fax structure of the Village. If is a progressive step for Orono and surely in this day and age we can look for beâter things in our Village thaf are .v4thj.n a reasonable fax structure. The csf appears ta be one of the main objections to the road plan, We bave been told by the Police Trustees that if will not mean an increase la taxes which under the present agreemient wifh the Township is a likeiy f acf. Conditions bave cbanged over the past two years in taxation befween the Village and the Township. Prior to this tim the crnbined Village rate used fa be greater than the Township fax rate. However in the pasf two years the Township rate bas increased at a greater pace than bas the Vili4ge rate until if bas equalled ýand passed if. Under the terms of an agreement between the Township and the Vil- lage the Village rate must be as greaf as the Township rate so in 1968 had to be upgraded fao meef the risilig rate la the Township. This gives the Village more funds and within the Village. If cannof be carried over as-a surplus surey if is onlly right thaf this money be put to a good use and if cannmof be reduced below that of the Township. Let s be probressive - lets have improvernents. What Others Say DOWNRIGHT WASTEFUL Ifý is'cerfainly ln lîne wifhgood highway'practice for liigbway 28 to bypass Bewdiey, since fraffic on fhrough highways should nof be siowed down by the urban traffie of cifies,' fowne or villages. Another factor particularly important i the case of Bewdiey is the series of curves af both ends of the village wbich' slow fraffic down before if reaches the village and also occasionally constituf e a safefy hazard. It is f0 be hoped thaf the highway wîll aiso bypass Bailieboro, aifhough the information released by the De- partrnent of Highways so far indicates that if will only be "re-builif." With a modern norfh-south highway only a few miles fo the east, if should not now be .necessary fo spend United Counfties money on auyý extensive redeveloprnent of the ccouny road which huas frorn Millbrook f0 Garden Hill. One of the Most picturesW1.e roads inthe area, wif h many beau- fiful cuirved stretches, this road should bc preserved as a scenie route. Anyonc who wishes fo fravel rapidiy norfh or south can go ouf fo Highway 28, and the taxpayers of the United Counfies can well be spared the cosf :of the huhdrcds of fhousands of dollars - perhaps more - wbich mighf ofberwise be spent on this road. A speciai effort should -be made fo preserve the stands of white pine which make the road 50 especially beaufifuil now. Far too often if is assumed thaf the only thing f0 do isý toe straighten ouf every bend in every road, whien curved roads provide a much nMore attractive counfryside. In the case of the Millbrook-Garden Hlli road, if is downrighf wastLeful of the faxpayer's money fo build another high speed highway- when a few miles fo the east Highway 28 runs parallel f0 if. -Port Hlope Guide y 300 Attend BarB-Q Last Wednesdayr evening a few short of three hundred attended the Beef- Bar B-Q ýat the Orono Park.

The motion which was' presented by C.,Evans and J.'Kimbali, neyer came to a vote as the groupý, in majority, passed up votitg on the motion. In speaking on the. motion Mr. Butt said that the course of the motion was more appropriate than a Public Inquiry and this was also the opinion of the Department of Municipal Affairs, he said. Mr. Butt stated that such a mo- tioti was desired as "Council is providing preferential treafment to peopie in this municipalty,> and he further stafed "we do have proof of definite pref erenfial freatrnent."If I was poibted -out that if councîl would take no act- ion if wouid the be presenfed f0 the Minister for his consideratiýon.' Mr. Butt sfated that they - ad met with Mr. Bratton of the De- partneInt of Municipal Affairs at which. time they had discussed the by-iaw which established1 a two year term in Clarke Towniship. He- said the passing of this by-law by Council was most unusual, with- out first going to the people of the Township f0 ask their con- sent. Hie did say however that the action by council was legal but did show that they were govern- ingby "supreme cotifrol". lie feit when council governs by suprem e there should be concern felt confrol as they do have the power to expropriate lands and reseil for industrial purpýoses. Mr. . Vanderstoop sfated thaf in his opition bhe feit that they 110w bad some restraint in the Township and -that 'tbey shouid consider this motion, further. Hie further stated "Iwe are now sound- ing like council."1 When a motion was put forth on whether -to vote on the re- straining motion it was decided by a siim, majority that the re- straining motion be left over.
