The request was made by Mr. Murray Payne who owns land north of the Village and east on the county road. He pointed out that the residential area had been increased to the south to reach the 401 highway and felt it was reasonable to square the plan off by extending the resident- ial area equally north of, Highway No. 2. The Planning Board took no action in the matter other than to discuss the proposal with the planning consultant when council meets with him on the proposed date of October 30th. Mr. Payne wanted the extended area shawn on the OfficiaI Plan which plan has been approved by the Plann- ing Board and Council. Ask minist to study WA Councillor G. Heykoop , at the recent meeting of council stated to council that lie had proof of pollution in the head waters of the Wilmot Creek substantiated by eight samp- les of water taken from the Wilmot and springs in the head waters to show of pollution in the stream and at the source. These facts were presented to council along with a resolution with de- mands from the Ministery of the Environment to assist with a number of predetermined requests. The resolution supported by the Councillor Heykoop and Deputy-Reeve Entwisle reads as follows: WHEREAS We have evidence of pollution in the headwaters of Wilmot Creek. AND WHEREAS We consider the preservation of the purity of this stream to be of supreme importance. THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED THAT This Council demands of the Provincial Minister of the .nvironment the following:- a) an analysis of the pollutants b) a statement on the source of the pollutants c) a report on the effects of the pollutants an the ecology of tle creek. d) an undertaking tIhat the Minister will take steps suffic- lent to ensure that continuing or accassional similar polilut- ion w ill not occur.

Nothing is concrete at tus t mt but the pro jcct is under seriLuos consideration. Seek entrance help to Orono Estates Council again briefly dis- cussed a considered south entrance into the Orono Estat- es. At no time has a legal entrance been devised for the south of the subdivision into Orono with the Ministry of Transportation ahd Commun- ications requiring that such an entrance being some 600 feet south of the Lsintersection. Negotiations some time ago between a former developer of the property and the Cemet- ery Board broke down with the effect that no south entrance has been possible. Reeve Woodyard said the Ministry would not move on the matter according to tie most recent findings. Councillor Charles Reid asked if Mr. Carruthers could not be asked to now approach the Orono Cemetery Board to see what might be done in this regard. At the present time entrance to the subdivision is from the Taunton Road north of the Village. Many feel that a southern entrance is required due ta the fact that most of the sices for the subdivision are loecated ini Orono. Students attending school do make use of an un-used lot at the south to enter and leave the subdivision. counci l Payne mobile home proposal in the same status as that of Rice Construction, also pro- posed for mobile homes. Mr. Payne's representative stated that Mr. Payne was anxious tc continue with the proposal and to make the necessary finan- cail arrangements. Council was asked to pass a separate resolution concerning only the Payne Proposal. Councillor Reid stated that in his opinion it appeared from the previous resolution that the Payne proposal and that of Rice Construction wre uon the same footing. Deputv-reeve Ent wisle disagreed with Mr. Reid's interpretation but at nc time at the meeting was the interruptation clarified. Reeve E.R. Woodyard stat- ed that he could not give a ruling and suggested that a meeting was being arranged for a possible date of October 30th with the Planning Con- sultants at whieh time the entire matter of mobile homes is to be considered. Mr. C. Ewert, speaking on behalf of Rice Construction stated that there appeared to be confusion and that if one project is to have to wait then bath shoutd have ta wait. He did point out that the Rice Construction proposal had been passed in principle prior to the passing of the Official Plan1 by council. Reeve Woodyard also made the point that nothing in any resolution had changed the position of the Rice proposal as .set out in a previous resolution. Mr. S. Wood also spoke to council stating that he had been the first to present a proposal for mobile homes which had been turned down by the Planning Board and Council in 1972. He felt that council should re-consider this in the light that they have (Continued page 3) Good Neighbour survey Sun day When someone knocks on temendous bcauty growth and your front door on Sunday potential, spiritually and phy- October 28 or during the sically-and our good churches following week and says that desire to be part of this they are from the Good growth.
