¥v widen the street. distance. This is Lilla Street, as seen when proceedi of a plan for the widening of Lilla Street to three lanes were approved by Regional Council last week. Plans call for the third lane to be a parking lane. The Scugog Ratepayers' Association and many residents of the street are opposed to plans to The old Town Hall and the United Church can be seen in the Cartwright dispute Garbage collection resolved Full garbage collection in Cartwright will continue -.until December 31st and then only people who sign an agreement with the township will receive collection. This was the outcome of a two and.a half hour discus- sion by Scugog Council Mon- day night in which several other suggestions were defeated. The - collection, after December 31, will be on a flat per household rate and will be added to the tax bill of those wishing collection. The yearly charge for garbage collection can't be calculated until the number of people interested in collect ion-is-determined. Clerk Neil Brodie was instructed by council to send letters to each household in Cartwright explaining the situation and to include a form to be signed and return- ed by December 1 if collect- ion is desired. - Coun. Reg. Rose explained that garbage collection ser- vice would be open to every- one in Cartwright if they opted for it by signing the agreement. The present contract for collection is set to expire November 1st but council extended the contract for two months and raised the fee the contractor received by about 10 per cent. Turn clocks back The beginning of Eastern Standard Time (EST) means that clocks, watches arid other time-telling devices ought to be turned back one hour before one goes to bed on Saturday night of Sunday morning. The hour-earlier nightfalls beginning on Sunday also marks the beginning of long, dark, but hopefully not too - cold months of fall winter. and The contractor agreed to collect for the two additional _months at a fee of $1.25 per month per house collected. The contractor will be paid for an additional 42 houses .that have started garbage collection since the last con- tract was re-assessed. This brings the total number of pickups to 1,721.in Cart- wright. A motion that garbage collection only take place on lakeshore properties in Ward 4 was defeated by a vote of 3 to 2. The intention was that any other area wishing gar- bage colleetion would petit- ion council for the service. This defeated motion was moved by- Coun. Bob Kenny and seconded by Coun. Neil Hunter. Another motion to have full garbage pickup in Ward 4and that the cost be on a per residence basis was, also, defeated. This motion was moved by Coun. Don Frew and second- ed by Coun. Bob Brinkman. "Coun. "Jerry Taylor sug- gested that full collection be implemented in Cartwright and that each householder pay a fixed fee on his tax bill. Mr. Bodie warned that as far as he was concerned and that as far as the town's _solicitor and the province were concerned, this pro-, posal would be illegal. as the township couldn't force any- "body to pay this fixed fee. Mr. Frew said other municipalities had been doing this for some time and he didn't see why Scugog. ' couldn't get away with it. When Mr. Frew wondered why other municipalities + could do it, Mr. Brodie said ) that if somebody decided not' to pay that specific charge, council couldn't force them to do so. - ng north.

The geometric design for the widening of the Street from Highway 7A to the 6th Concession was passed by regional council. The Scugog Ratepayers' Association isn't very happy about this situation. The Association is already on record as opposed to planned widening of the road and the matter was discuss- ed last week by the Associat- ion. Scugog Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said that although it may cause quite a stink, he is supporting the plan to add a parking lane to the street. "This is a reasonable com- promise when you look at all sides," the mayor said. Scugog's other represent- ative on the regional level, Coun. Reg Rose, said he voted against approval of the plans. "I would feel better if . "4 v . 443 PX ry ama there were some assurances that there is an intent to provide some type of bypass of Port Perry in the future," Mr. Rose said. Concern was expressed at the Ratepayers' meeting that the reconstruction of this road could delay or stop any plans to build a bypass of Port Perry. Mrs. Bev. Muir told the Ratepayers' that a three lane road isn't needed. The mayor said he had been to all the technical meetings on the subject and he had received no support for the idea of a reconstriet- ed two lane street. "The remarks ranged from it is ridiculous to it would create constant traffic - problems," The mayor said. The mayor said his great- est fear is that nothing at all will be done. He said the water system must be improved under the road. Mr. Rose said the matter would have to come back to regional council for approval of debentures that would be den Lilla street approved needed to finance the pro- ject. There are several options open to those wishing to oppose the planned work. A letter can be written to the Regional Works commit- tee, a delegation could ap- pear before the works com- mittee or a delegation could go to regional council if all else fails.

Gerry Gerrit, owner of Gerrit's Construction, said completion has been delayed by about two months be- cause of a hold-up in the delivery of steel and door frames. Gerrit's Construction of Bowmanville was awarded the $270,000 contract. Another factor delaying the project is the inability of Mr. Gerrit to get enough workers despite the fact the lowest pay on the job is $5.85 an hour. "I don't know why it is, but we just can't get the men we need." he said.
