Your March 14 editorial asks a most valid question. There used to be a ratepayers ratepayers association under the name of T.O.N.R.A. Town of Newcastle Ratepayers Association, Association, formed shortly after this so-called "Town" was created by decree from Queen's Park. The history of this ratepayers ratepayers association indicated rather soon, the difficulty of governing such a large and. diverse community, Newton- ville with its Nuclear waste dump, Courtice with Council's Council's grandiose expansion planning, Bowmanville and Darlington Nuclear, Tyrone, Enniskillen, etc. with the hearing about the location of the Hydro Lines. What a waste of money that turned out to be, when they built the line along 401, and many other local problems made it very difficult to sustain sustain a town wide ratepayers association. Yes, the Town of Bowmanville Bowmanville is in need of its own ratepayers association. T.O.N.R.À. still has a small bank account and. as treasurer treasurer I would be glad to see a new Ratepayers Association formed, officers elected and issues taken up. There are plenty of these, especially for Bowmanville Ratepayers, the Name question question foremost. Then there is the unbridled growth, the waterfront for so long a neglected neglected part of town, now coming of age, with the sale of one of Ontario's oldest harbour companies. Anyone wanting to nave a peek'at the Bowmanville marshlands marshlands and creek, better hurry, hurry, before the find* of concrete concrete parking garagës extends all the way to'the lake. Don't count on CLOGA and Council to keep Bowmanville Bowmanville in a natural state. Heed the editor's call now!'!> Yours truly, . D. Brinkman .
