-ONTARIO HYDRO Continued from page 1 t also encroaches less upon tbe regîon's natural resouces and existing and potential recreation areas; ilydro says. In this region, the recom- mended route to the point where it mieets the egress from the Darlington Generat- ing Station in past reports, Jmanville) avoids al ilings. It skirts the Oshawa Ski Club and other areas baving good potential for recreation- al development, Hydro's- brief States. Hydro says the recom- mended route will have the least impact on bouses and buildings. Route A, combined with egress froin Darlington GS would mean the removal of 23 bouses, six farm compIexeý, and a number of other buildings, says Hydro. Route D, the northern route, would mean removal of 17. houses, four farm complexes and eight other structures. This was the area residents at four public meetings in Ham- pton last year urged Hydro to put the route through. The recommended route means the remnoval of 18 bouses, two sets of farmn buildings and some other small structures. IT0, OZZIE..! YOU KNOW OZZIE?

None of the proposed routes through Clarke Township would have required removal of any buildings, Hydro says, but the recommended route passes dloser to fewer homeL than Route A and Route D, the northern route, passes within a haif-mile of Pontypool, says Hydro. The recommended route was preferred by ballot re- spondents in this region, Hydro reported, but added that mnany ballots were re- turned from Darlington and Clarke residents stating that none of the pr-oposed corridors -was acceptable. This- had resulted in a study of a northern route, Route D, presented in October. But an opinion survey then indicated that although this route was the most acceptable to people in the southern townships of Darlington and Clarke, it was the most unacceptable to people in the northern portion of the town- ships. Clarke Township counicil had presented a pétition asking for that northern route, which includes a large section of the Gatineau right of way. This was countered by a Manvers Township resolution noting they have two tower lines through the township now and "two is sufficient." The right of way, from Lennox to where the power fine connects with the tower lines out of Darlington gener. atipig station, wýill be from 450 to 600 feet wide but ýn that last stretch 'tolthlicOshawa trans- fro-mer station, it will be 1,210 feet side. East of Hlope-Clarke bound ary, Hydro's recommendea route jogs back and forth fromn proposed route to pro posed route but mnost of it follows Route C although large sections of Route A are selected in Sidney, Thurlow and Ty' endinaga Townships.

The $5 per capita police grants from the province will be applied to the population of the entire region, he added, andO the appropriate amounts wVould be credited back to the various area municipalities to off'set their policing levies. It wýould -be 'difficult to arearate", lev-y amounits to on!\, those receiving regional Police service, said Coun. Aske, but not impossible. Coun. Lawrenice Mlalcolm, (Sculgog), whose entire area .municipality is wAithIout reg- ional policing, reterated his oppositjin, first raised at the finanice cmmittee a week ago. "I just don't see it. I'm opposed to it," stated Coun. Malcolm, -wh!o added, "It's not goinig downi well at home." RED& , APRIL 10t, 1974 -3
