The Consultants also quest- ioned the suitability of the extension of Station Street (old, railway) as an access road capable of handling the traffic which may be generat- ed by this development. In their recommendations they state that the Town should examine the extension of the Street to see whether it is adequately constructed to permit use by the traffic which wiil be generated by the developmnent. The Planners also stated that if the scheme is approved it should be included in the Interim- District Plan and an amenmdment to a former by-law of the Township of Clarke shouid be enacted. n.

Mr.- Langmaid, architect fbr the Durham County Senior Citizens Lodge development in Orono outlined some of the aspects of the development to the Newcastle Planning AdI- visory Board on Thursday nce atthe evening. tly is an The architect stated that ,r years. the Orono development would the Conk- be on a six and a haîf acre plus a parcel of land and would be 2t show. accessible off the old railway ature the track with possible entrance ýst as well to Ma in street out of the north obedience of the-property.

The development in Newcastle would have a higher density, rate than the 71 one in Orono. The first stage in Orono could have a population of around forty- eight, stated the architect. There would be four two bedroom suites, 1 6 single apartmrents in the first stage of the de.velopment. There would also be con- structed on the property a small community and service building. Mr. Langmaid said it was mne intention to preserve the environment of the area. The architect stated that they wished to start on the project in the early spring. He also said that they did not' intend connecting to the Orono Water system as it would bie too costly to ta ke the water across the old rail track from the Main Street of Orono. The establishment would operate on in1dividual wells. In answering a question on the rent of the units it was said that $8500 a month had been set a year ago. It was pointed out tliat ccsts had increased in building and as no one would. give a firmi price for any of the work the rentalsha not at this time beeni set. Mr. D. Moffatt asked a number of questions of the architect' and spoke of the road (the old railway track) as not being a township road. H1e pointed out that the Board of Education had looked into this road and as a resuit are not using it now as a route for the school buses. He said it was very narrow. Mi. Lang- maid then referred to a possible entrance to the north. Give priority to Bowmanville for day caré The Social Services Comn- mnittee of the Region of' Durham 'is recommending that priority for day care centres should first bc given to the Town of Bowmanville wi th Port Perry, Canningtoni, Whtby and Oshawa following in that order. This propQsal aroused theMayor of Oshawa, who asked how the priorities were determined. It was said that the choice was made on the need in a municipality and also on the fact that some centres did not have day care centres at this time. Mayor Potticary was not impressed and stated just because a community does not have day care centres was no factor to give it a priority. Couneilor Ken Lyall was attacked verbally by the Mayor when Lyail suggested that any new Oshawa C entres should be placed in the east of the city so that this service would be near Bowmanville. H1e pointed out that Handi- capped chiidren in Bowman- ville now attends facilities in Oshawa. Mayor Potticary stated that Oshawa was spending their own money to look after- the Bowýmanville handicapped but when Oshawa approached Bowmanville council to help they didn't get a red cent. Potticary said that Osh- awa's day care centres were going down hill. He pointed out that Oshawa had 8 to 10 new high rise apartments with many youing families.... and we haven't caught up with them yet, he said. It is feit that the province will at least approve two of the centres this year and perhaps a third at the outside. Under the new program the province will pay 100 percent of renovations of an existing building and 100 percent of a new building. Port Hope-Cobourg Great Pine Ridge threaten annexation Kinsmen Club The Towns of Port Hope and Cobourg are reported now to be considering annexation of portions of Hamilton and Hope Townships and at a joint mreeting of the four municipal- ities made this point known. The announcement was made by both the mayor of Cobourg, and the mayor of Port Hope at the meeting when amalgam- ation and boundary changes were being discussed last week. Both Mayors stated that if amnalgamnation did not corne to pass that both towns would take action to annex portions of tLhe two townships. SCobourg would apply fo& annexation from the east boundary of Hamilton Towvn- ship to the centre ine between Cobourg and Port Hope, Theatre Road, and possibly north to the fourth concession of the Township. Port Hope would annex the remaining portion between Port Hope and Cobourg and a portion of Hope Township whichi portion has not been decided upon). ft was pointed out that the (Coiîîiuueo page .)
