PORT PERRY STAR -- Thursday, April 25th, 1968 -- 13 Ontario County Approves' New Development Road The alignment of a new development road, running north from Highway 2 to the Town of Uxbridge was ap- proved by Ontario County Council Jast week. The road will follow the town ling between Pickering Townshib and the Town of Whitby northerly from High- way 2 'and the Reach-Ux- bridge Town Line to High- way 47. One of the reasons this route was chosen is that it connects with County Road No. 23 which has an over- pass at the Macdonald - Car- tier Freeway. The county will assume as a county road the Uxbridge- Reach Town Line, from High- way 47 northerly to the Scott-Uxbridge Town Line as an extension of County Road 10B. On the completion of this work the existing east- west portion of County Road 10B will revert to township jurisdiction. It is proposed to fill in a swamp section this summer so - any . settling will - take place before the road is re- constructed. Land. for wid- ening has been purchased. A contract for the recon- struction of Development Road 848 County Road 12) from Highway 12 westerly to Wilfred has been let to E. and E. Seegmiller at a ten- der price of $346,314.90. Tot- ten, Sims, Hubici and Asso- ciates of Whitby have been retained to supervise the "| work. The council was told great- er expenditures were made due. to severe weather con- ditions "during -the winter which required more snow plowing, sanding and salting. It is estimated -an_over-ex- penditure of approximately $21,000 will "result. The wet fall contributed to a severe break-up of gravel roads and some sections of older asphalt pavements, which will require extensive sub-excavation and pavement patching. Early tender calls on the Brock Road and County Rd. 12 contracts and on the Sea- grave & Greenwood bridges have resulted in favorable prices for the county. On the Brock Road contract 13 bids were received and a low bid, $48,000 below the esti- mated cost, was received. On the two bridge tenders, savings with respect to bud- get of approximately $32,000 can be expected, council was told. OBITUARY MRS.

Health Minister's Plan Defeated By County Despite an exhaustive ex- position by Health Minister Matthew Dymond of the benefits that would accrue from the county entering a district health unit with Osh- awa and York County, Ont- ario - County Council last week decided to make one more bid to form a health district with Oshawa, By a recorded vote of 20 to 15, with three members absent, council again decided to approach the minister on setting up a unit comprising the county and Oshawa. Dr. Dymond addressed 'the Tuesday morning session for almost an hour and answered questions for another hour before council adjourned for lunch. Dr. Dymond' said district health units were not a new concept as it had been real- ized in 1933 that rural areas were not getting the pre- ventive care available in urban centres. With this in view a pilot project was set up in East- ern Ontario on a modest scale. Preventive medicine was less costly than treating people after they became sick; he said. The health minister said the day was past when im- munization of school child- ren was the extent of the public health program. District health units would provide a more efficient, di- versified program and better co-ordination; while the cen- tralizatibn of administration would -assist in planning. Under the present operation some units are so small they were ineffective, he, said. "We believe district units are essential. "We must move now. I am concerned with rapidly escalating costs. The health department budget this year will be about $744,- 000,000. From the stand- point of economics we must keep costs down. District t units will prevent duplica-| tion and provide better ser- vice," said Dr. Dymond. "We_are not forcing you into any amalgamation. There have been union schools since confederation. I am not trying to interfere with boundaries. This pro- gram will mean $7,000,000 in the hands of the people." Dr. Dymond said no au- thority had been given him to change boundaries of dis- trict units as it would upset the whole provincial pattern. He could not give any hope of changing boundaries 'without changing legislation accepted by the legislature. If the county wished to stay as it is that was its de: cision, he, said. In reply to a question, why the province would name three members of the pro- posed district board, Dr. Dy- mond said that as the gov- ernment would pay 75 per cent of the cost it wanted to have a say in the program. He could not see the county losing control. Asked about the possibility of a district unit comprising the county and Oshawa, he said he had made such a pro-' posal.in 1966 when the coun- ty unit was set up. «It would have been a good thing then.
