ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, TIIURSDAY, APRIL Z4h,_1969 OR <0WEE'KLY TIMES Second Class Mail Registration Number 0368 .Published every Thursday at the office of publication Main Street, Orono, Ontario. Phone 983-5301 Establishcd in 1938 by R. A. Forrester' Roy C. Foirrester - Editor and Publisher More Conlsideration At the present time work is underway to instail a stormn sewer system on the Main Street of Orono within the business section. The work is bein*g done in connection with the overafli Orono road progntam but is being financed by the County. The work, of course, has been sanctioned by the Counties with Dagmar Construction doing the work. ,In reviewing the contract it is evident that the work to be carried out by the Counties in this section of the Vil-, lage is only for storm sewers. There is nothing in the con- tract for pavig or for eurbing. No improvements other than the installation of storm sewers are included in the contract. Upon some investigation it appears that no def- mnite plan is laid down for paving other than it is to be done sometime. This, we believe, is not good enough. The Main Street of Orono will surely beeome a battie tomn noman's land. In the first instance the Street was tomn up for water, then came gas, and now storm sewers with a main ine on the west side and cross-overs at certain intervals. The coming patch work with that which we ai- ready have should end in a work of abstract art. To think that the County Road Commission can see no farther ahead than a day to day program is deplorable. If they want storma sewers on the Main Street why not do a ýcomplete job rather than leaviug a mess in the business section. The County Road Commission has, over the past few years, made a mockery out of the road ruuning through Orono. At onc time they were prepared, so they sâid, to make needed correction at the Main and Mill. Street inter- section. But as water was to bc installed and a well -was located on a piece of property they needed it was to be left until the Village water works was complted but to be done' as soon as the system, was installed. "Did you see anything happen?" About the time the water system was eompleted the ýCounties were going .to straighten out the Iviii hili at the south of Orono. This was in the agenda of work. In fact they eut out some of the trees and left un- sightly stumps sitting up in the air. "Have~ you seen thtem complete this project?" Now we add to the list that of paving and a haîf decenit job on the main street. Ironically enbugh storm sew- ers, on the Main street within the business section were needed to a much lesser degree than most things they could have idone to improve this section of road under their jurisdiction. .We point out at this time that Orono and Clarke Township are part of the County and pay taxes toward their rond projects. During the period of, the proposed works, Clarke has had a representation at the County even to the point of providing the Warden and Chairman of the Road Commission. At the present time, agan, the Warden comes from Clarke as also does the chairman of the County Road Commission. Sure'ly some consideration can be given by these representatives. We do not ask for favouratism but we do expect a decent job to be done. The Police Village on its part of the program is doing the complete job. Let the County do likewise and also pick up those ènds which thcy weme to have done years ago.
