M I lU'UMAWII I I GIF TORONTO -- The five Toronto area regional chairmen chairmen have joined forces in hopes of finding a longterm longterm solution to the mounting garbage crisis in the area. Yesterday at a news conference the five politicians, politicians, including Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrcma, expressed their hope that within one year they will have reached an agreement on a 20-year disposal and recycling plan which may include shipping shipping Metro area garbage north by rail to a host municipality. Metro chairman Alan Tonks said that two municipalities have expressed an interest in hosting an environmentally safe disposal site, lured by the jobs which would be created and by the enormous fees the five regions would be paying. The fees could be up to $15 million per year. In the short range, however, the plan unveiled yesterday calls for each of the five regions to make plans for a shortterm shortterm site within its boundaries in the event that the long-range project is not ready by 1992, when current facilities in Metro will have reached capacity. An 11-member steering committee will be established immediately to oversee implementation of the multifaceted multifaceted program.

"It would be very, very rare to find two people who did everything the same to get their award. You'd have to have a twin," he suggested. The tremendous number of different different activities which are undertaken in the name of the award program is one of its strengths.
