I Council passes lot levies for Town After considerable discus- sion on Monday council of the To\yn of Newcastle passed a by-law establishing devélop- , ment charges where through severances of land and rezoning rezoning 9 greater number of dwellings are then permitted. This charge through this , by-law is to coincide with present development charges as prescribed under Plans of Subdivisions. Under the by-law apartment apartment units under four stories will be charged $1200.00 per unit, over four stories $1,000. a unit and single family dwellings $1500.00. Councillor Lyall spoke a- gainst the by-law stating that he could not see a big surge in building with the number of unsold dwellings now in the municipality. The economic conditions of the present will not allow a surge in building and we will be in trouble if we bank on these charges to pay for services of water and ■ sewers we are not going to need. He said*he did not know the answer but that this move was some ten years too late. Counc. Entwisle said the $1500.00 charge was just too much and moved that the by-law be tabled to be considered By the finance unittee, ~^;ounc. Cowman said "Are we saying, 'I'm all right Jack, you are paying for it'". She said she was opposed ' to development charges. Counc. Allin said he didn't like development charges but knew of no other way. He also said that such charges were made by the Town in Plans of Sub-divisions so why not under these conditions. , Counc. Lyall pointed out that new residents paid for all costs within their sub-divisions sub-divisions and then on their tax bill picked up costs relating to existing debentures, he did not feel this was entirely fair. Lyall also said that they would build up reserves in certain accounts and then in the future look for ways to spend.it and with easy come it could well be squandered. Mayor Rickard said Lyall states this is ten years too late but the Mayor contended this was no reason to vote against the proposal. He also said residential buildings do not pay for themselves and that with rising taxes council had to be concerned with those already living in the municipality. He also warned what was to happen under the new reassessment plan. When Mayor Rickard said he was concerned with residential residential development, Counc, Lyall said apply a freeze if you are concerned that would solve the problem. "Would you support such a freeze", asked Mayor Rickard. "Yes" said Lyall, he would. Àt this point Mayor Rickard pointed out to Counc. Lyall that he had given his approval for a 38 house development on the Pedwell property this very night and yet flip-flops on this to propose a freeze. "But there is a difference", stated Lyall. After a series of recorded votes in which the Mayor was called upon to break the deadlocks the by-law passed.

Wintering Dahlias Proclaim energy conservation week WHITE'S FENCING INSTALLIONS VVLLTYPE^OF FENCING * RESIDENTIAL INDUSTRIAL POOL ENCLOSURES 'REE ESTIMATES 576-5606 The Government of Ontario has proclaimed the first week of November "Energy Conservation Conservation Week'" to encourage greater public participation in cutting energy bills throughout throughout the province this winter, Premier William Davis and Energy Minister Dennis Timbrell have announced. announced. Energy Conservation Week will.stgrt Sunday, October 31, and end on Saturday, November November 6.

Already several large corporations corporations and other public- spirited organizations have expressed willingness to participate participate in g co-ordinated and* continuing energy conservation conservation campaign. "We are moving the campaign campaign beyond the educational information phase into art active participation stage," Mr. Timbrell said. "The need to reduce energy consumption consumption ÿ becoming more critical now that Ontario's energy bill is estimated at $7.5 billion a year. We want to cut a billion dollars off that bill by 1980. Energy Conservation Week is a voluntary support necessary necessary to avoid restrictive legislation in the future." ' The Minister said that he anticipates the support and involvement of community groups, corporations, business business and trade associations Fall brings with it cold frosty nights and an end to colorful dahlias. When the leaves begin turning black, dig up the roots and store them for the winter. Dahlias should be cut to within two or three inches of the ground and then dug up carefully when the soil is dry, avoiding injury to the roots, says R. A. Fleming, horticulturist horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry Ministry of Agriculture and Food. This will reduce the curing time when the roots are dried off before they are placed in storage. However, if the soil is damp, turn the roots upside down and leave them in the sun to partially dry. The roots are best stored in the basement in boxes of dry peat, sand, sawdust, or other suitable material to prevent them from completely drying out, advises Mr. Fleming. A good way to prevent the roots from drying out is to 'SSSSSSSSSSSS'S'SS'SSSS, and local governments. "I am asking the people of Ontario to come up with projects in their communities that will contribute to energy conservation in all its forms," he said. Through the Ontario Energy Energy Management Program the government is already working working on 95 experimental consë- ervation projects covering all types of energy use. ■ Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 6th, 1976 -5 roots in the wax and then quickly withdraw them.
