An Evaluation of Alternate Routes for The Solandt Commission by Tom W. Sparling - Alternate routes- Hydro-Commonwealth recommended route- A 500KV transmission line running parallel to Highway 401 from Darlington through Newcastle to Newtonville is one of the alternate routes suggested by Tom Sparling, consultant for the Solandt Commission. There are two variations of the 401 route proposed and another alternative route proposed for Darlington, Clarke and Hope townships north of the Commonwealth Associates route. No change has been proposed for Hamilton township.

It crosses 2,203 acres of agricultural land, 546 acres of pasture, 17 acres of orchards, 677 acres of forest, 416 acres of scrub and 14 acres of reforestation. The route passes through one of the more scenic landscapes in southern Ontario but Mr. Sparling's report said due to the topography of the land the view of the lines would be "mostly localized". However where the line was on high land it could be distances. The Solandt commission has called for public reaction to the routes by November 6 when the first of a series of public hearings will be held in Newcastle and Kendal. Wladyka urges study on need for OHC housing The new Ontario Housing Corporation senior citizens apartments on Wellington Street will be completed in December and the town of Port Hope would like another study of need for more units. Mayor Michael Wladyka said Monday that council had asked OHC to initiate another survey as soon a this building is completed. "One problem in most towns is often a lack of land. In Port Hope we are lucky in that we still have some land assembly property left\ the Mayor said. "Some people object to putting houses of all one type in one area but I say at least it is a roof over their heads", the Mayor argued. Port Hope owned approximately forty acres of land assembly land on. which the hospital and the existing OHC housing units and senior citizens buildings are now located. There is still at least ten acres available. The new senior citizens building will be the third apartment units in town which have been built by the OHC for senior citizens. One is next to the new building and the other is on Queen Street in downtown Port Hope. MOTO-MASTER SHfrCKABSORBERS Njm™, J!%a%Z ■Ml** Entire 'Easy-Ride' line REDUCED!
