The proposed dirt track wi111 be 300 yards off the highway and snow fencing will be provided by the Towr, to place around the designated area. When Mr. Austin was asked about the dust problems, he said that the track would be waters, and lie cîaimed thau, because ail the racing mac- hines are equipped withj silencers, the residents shQuli have no complaints. The matter of complaints which- arise at Mosport race time came up at the meeting, but Mr. Austin ended that by saying "There's no excuse for Mosport's noise." He says that this track will by no means annov the people. There are already about forty such races running in Ontario this year, under M.C. Promotions and since many of their riders corne from Peter- borough they wish to have a track in this area. If this proposai goes through, the promoters hope to see about 800 - 1,000 people in attendance on the fifty acres designated for the races. There are twenty five acres set aside for parking. Temporary washroom fa- ciliities wil be set up, and the promoters wili dlean Up after each race, according to Mr. Austin. The races wiII be spreaci from May to June to Septem- ber. This agricuitural zoned land is owned by Mr. Hedge of Whitby. The matter has been referred to the planning advîsory committee by a motion made by Councillor Alin. a pprova Is Responsibility for approval ofprivate sewage installat- ions both as septic tanks Will be transferred, as of April 15, fromi Ontario's local health units to the Ministry of the Environmient, the Honourable William Newman announced Iast week. It is the intention of the governmnent to proclaim Part VII of the Environmental Protection Act, 1971 on April 15, bringing into force, regul- ations, establishing uniform provincial standards for pri- vate sewage disposal systems Mr. Newman stated. The Ministry of the Environment will be responsible for the inspection and control of al systemis in the province. Mr. Newman emphasized that thiese changes would have no effect on systems already installed and operat- ing but would cover future installations.1 This approval and inspect- ion programi will be carried out in three ways. First, where possible, it will be handled by Ministry staff. Secondly, in somecases, due to shortages of trained per- sonnel, the Ministry will enter into agreements with local health authorities to continue' this program on its behaif. This Wili be a tempprary measure until the number of Ministry inspectors is suffic- ient to performa this service; we see the maximum length of such agreements, being three years, the Minister underlined. PROPOSED TOWNIIOUSE DEVELOPIMENT There is currentiy a pro- posai for a condominium Town House development be- f ore the Town of Newcastle. The Planning Advisory Com- mittee has recommended to council that they undertake necessary action for approval which includes approval of regional servicing and site plan ammendmnents. The development is iocated in Bowmanville, directly northof Hwy 2. and east of Liberty St. The Idevelopers, Mr. Jerry Sprachman and Mr . Frieberg, said they have no objections to the regulations set down by senior planner of Municipal Planning Consultants, Mrs. Jane Monteith at Monday's Planning CoMmittee meeting. The problems which con- cerned her most, were the Pedestrian flow within the development and snow, re- moval and garbage collection, which it was decided would be undertaken by the subdivid- ers. This project has already been approved by the Provir- ce and council of Ward 2. At the time of land purchase, an agreemient was made wi th the municipality as to servicing plans. 1if it is, necessary, the subdivision will be provided with a pumping station _by the developer. However, itf vill have to be approved by the Town's engineering dept. Bàell to co-operate In an attempt to provide more modemn technical ser- vices to the municipality, Bell telephone made a presentat- ion to couili on Monday afternoon and discussed the )roblems of communications within the miunicipaiity. As Coun. Lyall pointed out there have been many com- plaints concemning long dist- ance telephone calîs in the 'area, and their costs. Mr. G.R. Robertson, of Bell Canada says there is a way that people can caîl to thé various municipal offices in the area without charge. The calîs would work through the Orono exchange, which is not operated by Bell, and the cost to the town would be a total of $82,90 per month. Mr. Robertson also told of improvements presently be.. ing worked on at Bell. The first one is a three way calling, system whereas three parties may speak on the line at once. Another one is a metbod being worked on to transfer cal. from one place to another. There is aiso a "caîl awaiting' process by which you can switch from one caîl to another. He expiained that a computor analyzes the long distance calîs for one month, and from this the rates are based on the percentage ofý people that call from one; particular area to another. Another improvement be-, ing made by Bell is ther automatic number identifi- ation, whereby the operator- does not have to obtain thel calle's number before con- necting. Bell Canada wiil be await- ing a decision to be made by the finance committee as to wNhether or not the free callingý within the area is a good arrangement. But before any decisions arýe mdMr. Rbertson wiil submnit more detailed information to com- mittee members. THeir d e- cision must be made before, June 30 so changes may be, made in the telephone direct- ory. I>E4'OMPOSEI> BODY FOUNI) IN WOOD)S (Continued from page 1) expIected that the body had been in the woods for at least ,a year. The woman was fully clothed wearing a furry coat aind a head band, according to t he t wo young girls. The OPP have dug up some 2-5 square feet of earth in the area for later examination. The property where the body was found is owned by Roy Foster of Fenelon Falls. Insp. Cooper has been reported as saying that it would be almost impossible to identify the body but that the investigation is continuing. Also on Saturday morning ind about the same time another discovery of a body was made and this by two canoeists in Duffins Creek, Pickering. The body suspect- ed of being in the water for at least four month had a cernent block tied around it. The body was tha t of a manl.l DURHAM HEALTH UNIT CLAMPS DOWN from pagel1) They feel that this change mYay interfere wvith the pro- posed car parking area, and prevent any enlargements of the building to that direction. At Monday's council meet- ing, when Coun. Lyall pre- sented this report to council, he was told by Mayor Rlckard that it was outdated by about six weeks and that since then arrangements have been made to improve the situation Since the completion of Orono Estates .subdivision whîch was also approved by the Kawartha Pine Ridige Health Unit, there have been problems reported with re- gards to septic tanks.' 1The new Health Unit has looked into these problems, an~d report that they will be sending letters to the homne- owners in the, subdivision instructing them to divert drainage water from buildiga, tile tô front roadside ditches, rather than have the water enter the septic tanks. They will also be advised to provide proper evestroughing to the houses. The Health Unit has disap- proved of several projects within the industrial area In Bowmanville, and they advise that future development in that area should be prohibited until sanitary sewers can be provided.
