W1Nants to clear 117-unit proposai Lucien Michaels speaking before committee and a on behalf of Glenson In- report from planning staff, vestments Ltd. meet with the and committee was before General Purpose committee counicil members on Monday. of the Town of Newcastle on Monday as to a proposai to build a 117 unit apartment building in the Town of Bowmanville east of Liberty Street south and nortli of the baseline. ie proposaI has been Michaels asked members to consider the leasing of on unopened road allowance, Pine Street, to the developers in order that they could pro- vide sufficient parking ac- commodation. Staff on the other hand have recommend- ed the closing of the road allowance in accordance with Town policy by which haîf the road allowance would go to Glenson and the remaining haîf to a neighbouring resi- dent. Michaels had some doubts that Glenson could obtain the full street allowance through negotia-- tions and as a result asked for a leasing arrangement. Michaels said staff had recommended other alter- natives including a reduction in density or a use of further flood plain for parking., He said the Conservation Authority had already bent over backwards in accom- modating the project and felt further negotiations with the authori ty would set the pro- ject back. As to a reduction in the number of units he said it would then become uneconomical. Michaels said they had an approved plan and had also made arrnagements for financing but did not set a positive starting date pro- viding approvals wvere given by the Town as to leasing. Counc. Prout said he would not support the leasing of the unopened road allowance as it would land- lock an adjoining property .and residence. M ichaels called upon count- cil to, innovative and co- operative in their approach:to solving the problem with the development. A motion by Cowman and Prout passed in which negotiations are to continue with the developer by staff and the Mayor to resolve the presenit holdup. Mayor Rickard said he could see a light at the end of the tunnel and felt the pro- blemn could be resolved over the next week or two. a science news service Cotton Iung <IDRO> - Progress is bring- ing ilisaswell as benefitsto the Third World.

But now occupational safety is seen as a way of conserving the skilled humnan resources needed for cortinued growth. In HongKong, the textile industry employs close to 100,000 wrkers. Many of them risk contracting lung disease f rom exposure to Cotton dust produoed during various stages of ,manufacture. Chest "tight- ness ", wheezing, and coughing are symptomns of byssinosis -- cotton lung -- a disease that obstructs airways through constant irritation of the tissues causing scarring. Long ex- posureto cotton dust also produces chronic bronchitis and emphysema, ulti mately leading to respiratory fail- ure and death. Wth aid from Canada's International Developmnent Research centre, research- ers f rom the Departmnent of Commun ity Medicine at the University of Hong Kong are investigating the extent of the problem of cotton lung in the country's textile workers.
