The committee decided Tuesday to recommend a 1.8 milliqn-gallon-a-day water plant to built to serve a village population of up to 10,000. The shortage of water capacity in Newcastle village has delayed two subdivisions from being built. The proposed proposed subdivisons have already received draft approval. -Total estimate costs of the water supply plant is $2,800,000. Works Commissioner Bob Richardson's report says the ministry of the environment will contribute $420,000 with the remaining amount - $2,380,000. - coming from an Ontario Housing Action Program Program loan.

The danger lies on a portion of Highway 115, about" four miles north of Orono nicknamed nicknamed "the death strip." Robert Clitheroe, superintendent superintendent of transportation with the . Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education, Education, told the committee.of; six MPPs twice school buses Have almost been hit because they are not allowed to pull of the road to let children off. Until September, 1975, the buses had been pulling off the road near Enterprise Hill without using flashers. But, Ontario Provincial Police told the bus drivers to stop on the road and use flashers, in compliance with the new school bus rules, he The report says the possibility possibility of providing water to the village from the Bowmanville water plant was considered but was rejected because a . water supply plant in the village would provide flexibility flexibility for future additions. said. "As a result, a tractor-trailer tractor-trailer jack-knifed while trying to stop the next day and almost hit the bus," Mr. Clitheroe said. He told the select commit-, tee the board had asked James Snow, Ontario, minister minister of . transportation and communications, to allow a special pull-off area. But the ministry refused because "it felt it would create a precedent," Mr. Clitheroe said. The board sees two appro aches, he said. Either amend the act to àllow the bus to pull of without using flashers or construct pull-off areas. Stopping on the highway with flashers going causes drivers to stop suddenly, possibly smashing into the stopped bus, he said. "One. of these days, I'm afraid we will have a fatality in the area". MPP Fred Voting (NDP- Yorkview), chairman of the committee, told Mr. Clitheroe his committee's work "is more general" and deals with province-wide changes to the Highway Traffic Act, but the question would be "brought to the authorities."
