There i s an outside possibulityý thaf the proposed Ontario Hydre power station at Bewmanville could becenstructed befere the Wesleyville projeet. The 700 acre lakefront site in Darlingteno Township is close te Highw-ay 401 and te a railway spur,. whle Wesleyville is almost inaccessible liy. comparison. Af Wesleyville addifionai par- cels of land were purcliased last year for fhé, construction ef a railway spur. 1 A. spokesman for Ontarlo Hyd- ,vo, Jolin Pal terson said last Thurs- day thaf no0 decision bas been ,made on what projeet will go fir'st. "If could lie 'one or the other,," lie added. Ife pointed out fliat Hydro pur-. chased flhc land bccause cf the danger cf Jisng ]and cosfs due teo the proposed developmenf in the area. The projeet was part of Hydro's "leng-term planning." Li ke the Weslcyville project, Hydre ha,5 made no deci,.ion on the size of plant or type cf fuel to be used. Mr. Patterson said that the Hlem power station in Toronto is te be converted from coal fuel to gas later this 'year. O11 is lie- ing used at thle Lennox station and nuclear fuel nsed at Picker-ing and Douglas Point. But lie refused to admit thaf flic trend is rnoving fromn coal fuel. "We hiave an economie mix", lie said. "Coal is liecomîng diffi- culf fo get, particularly coul with a low sulphur content." H-ydro won't he dependent on one source cf fuel, lie confinued, hecau5ýe there is an ecoaomic ad- vantag" la not lieing depeadent on one source. "This makes sense te our ecee- ornlsts. Witlî the shortage of ceai we miglît have le face, rising prices., Mr. Pafferson said that prelim- mnary site investigations at Wes- Icyville, wffich have been going -on for more than a ycar, arc con- finuing. Soil tests are being taken, te ascertain the carrying abilify cf flic rock. "These tests usually, go on for a couple of ycars", lie ad- Hydre daims that work'at Wes- ering st ation is complefed which leyville wil begin as by flic car- pentry class as soon as the Pick- is te lie "wifhin the nexf few yeaqrs." l'le 850-acre site af Weslcyvîlle vvas purchased in 1968 and, lasf year an addifional,200 acres were purchased from the Austin brofli- ers, who revealed af fhe fume that lhey liad no choice but to sçll. At Iliat time a Hydro officiai sl ated that flic extra land was neede.d for flie construction cf a rai]way spur line. Additional land, he said, wquld bc. be rguired if flic decision was te have a nuclear plant la order te meef fthc requirement set iy flic Atomic Energy Cent roi Board. In setfing the budget for the Village for 1971 three grants in fthe amount cf $50.00 ecd were awarded to the Clarke Archives and Museum, flie Orono Horticul- tural Society and the Orono Youth Theatre. In flic Orono Hydro meeting, the Commission accepted a recom- mendation that the Orono Hydro pay a rentai for the Hydro build- ing amounting to $20500 a month. This was increased from $160.00. Mr. M. Downs reported that flirce streef lighfs had been de- stroycd by stoncd and that to re- pair and replace them if lad cost considerable. He suggested fliaf a rcward bic offer -d in, appre- hending fliose responsible. No ac- tion was taken on the recoin- mendat ion at this finie.
