PUBLIC WORKS SIDEWALK PROGRAM 1983 A report has been received fromn the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department in which it has been reported that 2154 meters of sidewalk were repaired in 1983 under the Canada-Community Development program devised by the Federal govern- ment. It was a joint programn between the Town and the Federal government. 0f the '154 meters of repair work undertaken in Newcastle during 1983, 344 mieters was in the Village of Orono. Consideration through budget discussions are to consider this programn again in 1984. SOME RURAL, GARBAGE COSTS JUMIP It has been reported that some rural garbage pick-up charges in the Towni of Newcastle are in for a big lift. Some resîdents who have been payi -ng an annual charge of $53 .00 have been informed annual costs are to rise to $78 M for 1984. The operator informs customers costs have risen 33 percent over the past lthree years. In 1983 Orono and Orono Estates residents paid their garbage costs through an area mill rate of 13.9 miIls. On the average homne, assessed at $2600.00, the costs of garbage pick-up would have been $36. 14. The average home in the Village of Newcastle who have their garbage pick-up included in the samne contract as Orono's pay $l9.24. As the Village of Newcastle has a greater indlustrial and commercial assessment the cost of garbage pick-up is reduced to that paid in Orono. TRERE SHOULD BE NO COMPLAINT HERE It has been noticed that the Public Works Department of the Town of Newcastle appears to have a new policy in winging back snow,ý onto the shoulder of the road. This new policy should meet the approval. and does warrant somne comnmendation. In thie Iast wing-back of snow onto the shoulder the departmnent have ploug-hed in such a mnanner that snow is not piled up in driveways. Not that this has bothered us that - nuch in the past but it does demonstrate consideration for residents on the part of the department.

Two years ago the Commission purchased two acres of land west of the Town of Bowmanville at the corner of Highway No.2 and Regional Road 57 for a new facility. When the facilîty is constructed the Police offices in the Town of Newcastle would move from their pre- sent location which they rent fromn the Town of Newcastle to the new location west of Bowmariville. Newcastle council recently asked that the Police Com- mission reconsider th e locating of the new facility outside the Town of Bowmanville. Counc. Hamre has stated that store-front facilities in core areas, are proving- advantageous in other centres and felt the Region should reconsider this new information that has become available.
