The Region has tabled a proposal to establish regional rates for water and sewers until after this meeting isheld. The proposed regional rates for water and sewer use would have the effect of doubling costs of water to Oshawa residents and further increases increases for industrial use. Oshawa has in the past fought this increase. It is hoped that the province will come up with a substantial substantial grant which could be used over a period of years to phase in the water rate increase in the City of' Oshawa. The proposed regional rates for other centres in the Region other than Oshawa could be lower than exists at this time. At the present time rates of charges are determined on local area costs and not over the entire region.

This is what Ontario is doing to help make sure they're safe fun. We now have new laws for motorized snow vehicles, usually known as snowmobiles. All snowmobiles must be registered with Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications. (If previously registered, they must be re-registered.) Registration is free. Also, people who operate snowmobiles off their own property must now have a permit to do so. The fee for the annual permit is $10.00. (The only exceptions are in certain designated areas of remote northwestern northwestern Ontario.) Actually, complying with the new regulations regulations is easy. You can re-register a previously-registered snowmobile-and Obtain your annual permit-at any Ministry of Transportation and Communications license-issuing office in Ontario (where you get your automobile license). If you buy a new snowmobile, the dealer must register it on your behalf within six days of the saie. „ The number of your Registration Cer- ' tificate must be attached to, or painted on, both sides of your snowmobile's hood in numbers 2" to 3" high, and must contrast with your snowmobile's colour to be easily seen. Your permit will be affixed to your Registration Certificate and you will be given two adhesive stickers to affix to your snowmobile's hood according to directions. That's all there is to it. Do not drive your snowmobile anywhere (except on your own property) unless it has been registered and you have a permit. Make certain that you know and observe all operating rules and safety regulations for snowmobiles and be sure to check local by-laws in the municipality where you use .your snowmobile.
