"Unless we are able to deal with them in a matter of days, not weeks, they will be lost to Scugog," said Mr. Kennedy. He called the developer's fight to bring industry to the community 'something out of Louis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland," and added that while they are not accus- ing 'Scugog Council, some "persons in -authority 'have: fiddled while Rome burns."

While Scugog Township council hasn't "dug up a cemetery board," Coun.

ALAN ¥ Athika was informed that the new works to supply the needed water were in the Region draft capital budget waiting regional council's approval early in May, according to Mr. Kennedy. On reading the press reports on the Woods Gordon report to, the Region on the industrial outlook and the grossly misleading reference to Scugog, a meéfing was set up with Region Chairman Walter Beath and works commissioner, Wm. Rich- ardson. MPP calls Durham Region is prob- ably better situated to attract industry than any area in the industrial south of Ontario, according to Ontario M.P.P. Dr. Matthew Dymond. Expressing the opinion in a letter to Regional Chairman Walter Beath, Dr. Dymond said industries which want to locate in the Durham Region are being "wooed, entertain- ed and encouraged' by other municipalities, and may lose due to the lack of adequate water services. Dr. Dymond sees the pro- vision of water not as a major concern, saying that public utilities such as water, sewers and hydro are "'self- liquidating and self-sustain- ing". He said they do not offend or affect the credit of the Region, and he wrote that he is "still amazed" that the financing of such services has never yet been separated from the financing of other municipal services such as A AAP AN R x SN y This is uth one of the many fierce beasts that cubs bf the Pineridge District managed to capture, tame, and exhibit at this year's Cuboree in Greenbank.

"We learned that the Region's capital budget will be up for council approval on June 18, but to our utter shock and dismay, that only the new well is in this year's budget." The new main, he said, is in for 1978 and Athica was unable to learn the status of the new stand pipe. Council's action was one of two alternatives outlined by 'Mr. Kennedy, an interim agreement with Athika to supply the needed water pending the bringing into (continued on page 3) for services roads, streets and schools. He sees the proposed Scugog water system revamp as only a "minor budget matter", that will result in.' 'significant employ- ment benefits' by creating new Jobs and reducing the area's reliance on the auto-* mobile industry. The recently drafted Woods Gordon report fore: -- casting a bleak future for Durham, should never be accepted as absolute fact and should never be permitted to strike terror in those affect- 'ed, writes Dr. Dym BIN "I think I have: knowledge of the Region'and enough faith in its peopl€;ias I'm sure you have, to po there exists already the potential in Durham to '"'give - the lie" emphatically to this report," he writes. Such studies are not infal- lible, and must never be accepted with fatalism, real or apparent, he states. (continued on page 15) Ne Ne Te 3 re
