moiNWWW-Mnu ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY -Oh,170 2RN L TIES IT WAS TUE RIGHT COURSE it now becomes very apparent that the Couneil o1 Clarke "Zownshrip dàd take the right action when they OP- posed the holding of a Peace Fesival within the confines of the Municipality. Recent news reports froin parts of Can- ada and the United States do speil out riotous crowds in attendance. at rock festivals. And these festivals didflot draw he crowds expected at Mosport Park. We do 'know that council members and especially the reeve did spend many hours cd time and travel in'their ,effort to block the festival coming to Clarke Township. It can now be said . a job welI done in the inter- -est of the community and its residents. HIGH COSTS SHOULD NOT HAMPER This year the Ganarask Conservation Authority had n sum of money, $270000 allocated for the purchase of land in ýClarke Townsh.ip. 'We understand that the Author- jty was considering developing la small pilot project in the Township and this money was to start the pr.jedt on Jts way. $uch la plan lias been scuppered when at a recent meeting the Athority decidcd to re-allocate the sum of mnoney to improve a iprojcct wthin the boundaries 'of Port ,Hope. It was stated that the cost of land in 'Clarke Town- ,ship was too higli tobe able to miake any use of the allot- ment and that it might as well be used somewhere else. There lis no doubt that the cost of land in Clarke Township ig on a hig$h level but it lis doubtful that this cost, varies mucb from that of other municipalities sueh as_ Hlope Township. The cost of land will not decrease in any ,way outside of a depression so the Ganaraska will always be. eaced with sizeable costs to purchase land in Clarke Town- ship. Unfortunately the Ganaraska hus operated on a small budget over thec years and bas not in recent years been able to keep pace with inflated costs. Port Hope has been one municipality that bas been reluctant to sib.cibe on an equal bagis with ther centres even though, it gaîned tremendouls. benefits from the Authority iii parkland devel-, -opinent and flood control. Their reluctance has hindered the work od the Authority due to lack -of finances. It is douiytfui that thec inclusion, of Cobourg Will help that much focr thieir allocation will no doubt be. offset'with proposed expenditures wvithin' their area as alre-ady noted with, the proposai to purchase a mili and pond site. The Wilmot Cireek wbich bas its source in Clarke Township land does run south to the lake is an important water course not only to the Township but to the whole airea. It is unfortunate that the' Authority cannot see fit to ailoeate funids for a project to this river vaUleyand especially in the area of the source of the creek. Surely -we cannot forget the Wilmot just because land lis costly... tliere are other considerations defined in the purpose 0f ,a conservation Authority.
