New move could delay dump decision A proposal by Canadian Pacifie Rail t dump 2,000 tons of Metro Toronto's daily garbage in Wesleyville may be delayed for months. Texaco Canada and Scott's Restaurants have made an application to the divisional court of the Supreme Court of Ontario to prohibit the Envir- onmental Hearing Board from making any report or recom- mendations from the four-day hearing held in Port Hope two weeks ago. Applications have also been made for a writ of mandamus which would compel the Board to hold a completely new hearing into the proposal by C.P.R.

The transcript must be prepared by the Environmental Hear- ing Board from tape-record- ings of the entire proceedings. The grounds for Texace's application to the Supreme Court are that one man of the three man Board was not sitting for part of the cross- examination of John Nunan, C.P.'s chief witness. Accord- ing to section 9A of the Environmental Protection Act three men represent a quorum of the Board. Texaco will also question the Board's ruling on the interpretation of the suitabil- ity of the site, and feels that the scope of the hearing should be broadened. The application to the Sup- reme Court involves only. Texaco, Scott's and the Envir- onmental Hearing Board. Jack Berry, public relations officer with C.P. Raily said today, "C.P. Rail has not been made a party to any action of the Supreme Court of Ontario relative to their sanitary landfill site proposal in Wes- leyville". Mr. Berry said that C.P. Rail is waiting to go ahead on its proposal until it has heard the report and recommenda- tions of the Environmental Hearing Board. John Herron, who is the lawyer acting for Hope Town- ship in the matter, said today that the municipality will not be a party to Texaco's application at this stage. "If the township were to take part they would just be tagging along", Mr. Herron explained, "this matter is between Texaco and the Environmental Hearing Board."

Unit of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Lindsay District, operated on Chemong Lake. Research carried out included trap netting to determine population numbers, créel census for angler harvest and the use of chemicals in the collection of small fish which form a part of the diet of larger fish. Trap nets were employed in Chemung Lake to collect fish for tagging and release. Re- capture of these fish allows estimation of populations. Population sizes were det- ermined for ten species of fish found south of the Bridgenorth causeway of Chemung Lake. Since fish must obtain some size before they are suscept- bile to capture, in the trap nets, the population estimates apply only to fish of that size or larger. The population results are: Yellow Pickerel 18,000; Maskinonge 650; Smallmouth Bass 520; Largemouth Bass. 430; Rock Bass, 11,000; Perch, 36,000; Pumpkinseed, 90,000; Bullhead, 9,600; Carp 700; Suckers 10,000. Population estimated given represent only the portion for each species that are suscept- ible to the trap nets and the number given is for fish of the minimum length, weights and ages shown and larger. These minimums have only been calculated for those shown and the remainder are pend- ing. Population estimate shown for pumpkinseed(sunfish) is Crime rate soars The crime spiral in Picker- ing continues to climb. In the first five months of this year, Pickering Township police have been faced with nearly a,100 percent increase in criminal offences from the same period in 1972. "I haven't seen any indic- ation the rate will decrease with summer coming on," said Deputy Police Chief Rickard Ley. The monthly police report presented to council shows there were 498 criminal offen- ces reported in the first five months of 1973- compared with 260 in the same period last year. The major reason for the sudden jump in reported crime is the presence of the newly-opened Sheridan Mall, said the deputy chief. The new mal, the first in Pickering, opened in October 1972. and bas been a target of petty crooks. "There has been an awful lot of shoplifting at the mall as well as some cases of bad cheques and fraud," said Deputy Chief Ley. "If the first week after the mall opened we received about 30 calls. high as there was evidence of migration and this number will be lower when correction is made. CREEL CENSUS Anglers were contacted in the field and their fishing success determined. Their catch was examined to deter- mine species, numbers, size and weights. These figures are then used to calculate total hours spent fishing and the total harvest. FORAGE FISH A total of 14 plots were enclosed by -using a 150 foot seine covered with plastic to prevent escape of fish and chemical into the surounding water. Plots treated measured roughly 30 x 30 feet with a maximum depth of five feet. The chemical used to collect fish was Pro-nox-fish which is extemely effective for the job and is non-injurious to warm blooded mammals and birds. ORONOWEEKLYTIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY I1th dow H.

A CLOSE BATTLE AT ORONO PARK The Orono Bantams and the Port Hope Bantams played a keenly contested game in the Orono Park last Tuesday evening. The game went to Port Hope 3-2 after the seven ninnings of play. Strong pitching by both the Orono and Port Hope pitchers contributed to the close game. Dave Montieth pitching for Port Hope gavé up only two hits and took three strike-outs while his counter part Searle on the Orono mound gave up four hits and struck out five. Port Hope went out in front early in the game with two runs. Then Martin of Orono scored a single run in the third and the game was tied in the sixth when Martin again scored on a hit from the bat of John Cornish. Port Hope scored their winning run in the seventh on a fielding error by Orono. Orono having the last bat were unable to score a run.
