The Editor September'21,73 In turning down the recom- mendations of Clarke Town- ship Planning Board rejecfing two 1,000, housing units* east and west of Newcastle the township council bas acted in a reprehensible manner. Mr. Moffat, in resigning from the Planning Board over this matter, should be commended for is action. Regionai Government is ,being established in the region to prevent just this type of shoddy development and wil- fui waste of agricultural land. The cost of services required by the addition of 4.000 to 5,000 people being dumped into Clarke Township, will have to be shared by exisfing resi- dents who before long wîll have Clarke Township paved from one end to the other. The people of Clarke wouid i)e well advised to remember the, names of the three presentty elected officiais,' who voted againsf the Plann- ing Board recommendations at *the upcoming elections. If they, are returned to office ,Clarke township will surely bec ome a conqrete jungle within the next 'decade.- ment in Clarke should pay a visit to the Brampton area, and then estimate how long they can survive the slick merchandising techniques of the large chains that operate out of shopping plazas. Shop- ping centres inevitably follow subdivisions which are in turn foilowed by high rise apart- ment buildings. If Durham County is to rernain' rural, development must be restricted te single homes on Lots of at least 2 acres, so that they can have their' own water source and sewage disposai system. Bow- manville and Orono have both opened the door to subdivision development. They wili rue the day they made these decisions uniess a hait can be placed on ahl subdivision development. In a free enter- prise society it is difficuit to justify placing restrictions on the sale of land, but if the best agricultural land in the pro- vince is to be saved for the future, somne restrictions are necessary. Everyone. bas a little larceny in their soul and the temptation to make a "fast buck" is present in ail of us. However, at st 'ake in this issue is the life style and rural character of Durham County.

Davidson Walkey Regional Council Ward 3 _______________- g BowAmanvi new COJ P Bowmanviile Mayor Ivan Hobbs was elected chairman of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board (COJPB) Thursday night. - t Mayor Hobbs' appointment as chairman filis the vacancy created iast July when Walter Beath resigned from the position to accept the provin- cially appointed office of, re- gional chairman. Mayor Hobbs had been thie COJPB's vice chairman. Appointed as the new vice chairman is Robert E. Wool- cott, an appointed delegate from Oshawa to the board. Mr. Woolcott has served as the chairman of the Oshawa planning board in the past. Aithough the COJPB will probably be phased out when regional government cornes into being on Jani, the planning act requires the board to have both a chairman and vice-chairman said COJPB's director of planning,- Bill McAdams. Last night's meeting was the first COJPB meeting held since dune 21. The board which usually meets the third Thursday of each month, deeided not f0 hold an October meeting, said Mr. McAdams.
