The report was commis- sioned by a group of devel- opers interested in speeding up development in Durham. Mr. Kennedy, who is the former chairman of Ontario Municipal Board, said that some of the developers were willing to lend the region of Durham the money to drill this new well.

Santa's elves have been busy all week packing more than 1,200 bags of candy that Santa and his" helpers will give out to all the good boys and girls who come to see Santa when he stops in front of the old Post Office after his welcoming parade. One thing that Mrs. Claus asked was that all the child- ren stay on the sidewalk during the parade so they won't get hurt. Mrs. Claus said that Sant would have an extra specia present for Eleanor Wood and all her helpers at the Chamber of Commerce. Without their work, the Santa Claus parade would have never been possible' she said. Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said council had just received the report and hadn't had time to study it.

So, Mayor Lawrence Mal- colm has been instructed to talk to the Durham Planning and Development Depart- ment about the proposal for a 39-unit development on the south half of Lot 7, Concession 5. Ted Orton, a Scarborough developer, presented a 14- page brief to council outlin- ing plans whereby the ~development company would rent land to tenants who would buy modular homes to put on that land. Mr. Orton said the com- pany would supply water, roads, garbage collection, snow removal and parkland I, for the development. The tenant could own his own home in 10 years, but would never own the land the mobile home is on, Mr. Orton said. Rent for the land would be $500,000 in studies Almost a half a million dollars has-been spent by the region on studies undertaken by consultants in the past "year. Of this amdunt, fifty per cent was subsidized by the province. The amount has been divided among the Works department and the Plan- ning and Development de- partment. $120 a month and payments "on the home would be $255 a month for the first ten years. After that the tenant would still have to pay the normal rent. The proposed development is similar to the provincial H.O.M.E. program, Mr. Orton said, except it is being privately run. Because the developer will be supplying 'water and sewage will be on a septic tank system, there is no need for any regional approval, Mr. Orton explained. As there would be no land severance involved, the development would not be subject to normal subdivis- ion development control, Mr. Orton said.

The region of Durham has set aside $25,000 for the program of test well drilling. A Work's department report said that for further development in the Port Perry area, additional water must be found. If satisfactory new sources of water are found, the report said, money will be provided in the 1975 budget for construction and hook-up of the well so further deve- lopment can take place. The village is presently being supplied by water from a well located in Lot 18, Concession 3 on the Oshawa Road. A stand-by well has been drilled beside that well. The stand-by well is now being hooked into the Port Perry system. adil a TL po ' aah' . ms - ues pu yoo] a MN TH WT TT 07%, 347 30 Ct ty » Damage $6,000 in car-truck collision Damage is estimated at about $6,000 in a tractor- trailer car collision at High- way 7 and the 7th Concession of Reach.
