Both the township's engi- neering firm and township council believe the latter, but the company claims that lack of communications has resulted in some mis- interpretation. Addressing Scugog coun- cil at their Monday meet- ing, Mr. R. E. Sims of 'Totten Sims Hubicki said that press reports about the matter have 'cast some doubt -about whether the township was pleased with the services of the firm. The firm wants better and more open communications with couricil to counter this kind of misinterpretation. Mr. Sims was referring to a nove by the new arena committee to get a local experienced builder to|take over the supervisory duties on the project, relieving the engineering firm of the res- ponsibility...all at a substan- Truck-in to be held at Wellspring Park Scugog Township council has authorized an Oshawa club to hold a weekend "truck-in" at the Wellspring Park property on July 16 and 17. Dave Walker of the Oshawa Truck Club told 'councillors at the Monday meeting that the invitation- al meet of van owners ; would be limited to about 1100 trucks. He assured 'Coun. Jerry Taylor that because it is a strictly 'invitational event, 'there would be no problem with 'the attendance swelling to 'an uncontrollable size. The event, according to Walker, would include com- petitions for such things as best vehicle on display, art work and interiors. There would be also a few recre- ational sports events such as tug-of-war and evening camp fires.

'It is just good business practice to do that." What he was con- cerned about, however, is that the press reports have colored the action to make it look like the township was less than satisfied with the firm. * Council assured Mr. Sims that they were satisfied with the performance of the firm, and that the move was simply in the best interest of the township and should not be considered as an . indication of any township dissatisfaction. "lI worry that people should interpret it that way," said Mayor Malcolm. _ "It was the logical way to go at that point in the pro- ject, that's all." " Coun. Jerry Taylor agreed that there might have been a communi- cations lag, and that although the new arena committee was handling the project, 'this council was still on top" and should have kept the firm informed on what was happening. Coun. Vernon Asselstine suggested it was the media's hunt for headlines that created the problem. '""The press often has trouble coming up with news sometimes, or perhaps it was just a matter of seeing it differently from the way it was meant."

Council Monday night appointed Councillors Neil McLaughlin, Jerry Taylor and Mayor Lawrence Mal- colm to sit on a coordinat- ing committee with provin- cial representatives. Coun- cil also indicated they would prefer their own engineer- fae firm, Totten Sims Hubicki Assocates Limited to be involved in the study. The project would include an initial study, and an on- going program of annual updates. The initial study would cost about $30,000, with the province picking up 'about 75 per cent. * "Updates are relatively in- expensive to maintain, often being no more than simply subtracting. completed pro- jects and adding roads that are showing new signs of wear. Having such a study car- ried out would be of benefit igh Opening to the local community as well at the provincial government, pointed out MTC representatives. It would provide information on the total work required in the township and it would allow council to make long- range construction pro- grams and set priorities. The province would bene- fit by knowing what work will be needed in the munic- ipality in future years. Since the municipalities under study represent about "75 per cent of the annual MTC allocations, knowing what these communities are likely to require in' the future will enable the pro- vince to calculate reason- ably accurate future expen- ditures. Coun. Reg Rose pointed out that the township had approved such a project once before, in January 1974, but the province had backed out, apparently due to a lack of funds. He hoped the province wouldn't back out a second time. rdabrs business W. E. CLIFFORD one of our representatives Raillroadhouse Motor Hotel, will be at Scugog Street, Hwy. 7A, Port Perry.
