Besides the cost of devel- opment which have tripled in the past few years, accord- ing to Mr. Allen, there are other factors which have a bearing. One is that overall use of provincial parks in the Lind- say District has declined somewhat from last year. Mr. Allen said that in 1980 there have been 3000 less "'camper nights" than there were last year. Use of the parks at Darl- ington on Lake Ontario and Serpent Mounds near Peter- borough has increased, while the number of campers at Balsam and Emily Lakes Garbage (From page 1) Brown, and there was a brief but angry exchange of words between Mr. Holland and members of council. When Mr. Holland noted that his tender bid for Ward 4 was about $600 lower than that of Mr. Brown, councillor Richard Drew said angrily that it wouldn't matter to him if the tender for all three wards was lower. "We have a thick file of complaints about garbage collection over the past two - years," stated councillor parks has declined. "If the existing facilities are not getting maximum use, it is pretty hard to justify the expense of devel- oping a new park on Scugog Island," he said. - Although Mr. Allen said he did not know how much money the government spent to assemble the land at the top- of Scugog Island, he stressed that it is being used for recreational purposes. The area is used for a controlled pheasant hunt each fall. The access road and boat ramp allow many pleasure boaters to get their craft in the water, and just off-shore is a popular spot for ice fishermen in the winter. contract Drew. Mr. Holland left the meet- ing stating that members of council don't understand the problems of garbage collect- ion and the new contractor will wind up with the same complaints. The contract for garbage collection in Wards two, three and four for the past two years amounted to $126,000. Residents of Ward 1 have no municipal garbage coll- 'ection, and must arrange for pick-up by private operators. a The difference between you and a person who's fit is that anything you can do he can do better.

Mr. Allen said that al- though the plans for the park development are pretty much dormant at this time and for the near future, there likely will come a time when there will be a demand for its development and the alloca- tion of the money will then be a political decision.. Cost of development is not the only expense involved. If the park were to go ahead, the provincial Ministry of the Environment would first carry out environmental studies to determine the impact on both the land and the water quality. Assess- ments such as these are both costly and time consuming, often taking more than a year. At one time five or six years ago, the development of the park seemed to be moving ahead. In fact, the provincial government held a public meeting to outline the proposal to local resi- GRADUATE Rodger Gordon Blair graduated from Waterloo University with a degree of Bachelor of Applied Science in Civil Engineering on May 24th, 1980.

No money for Island park dents. There was some opposition to the plans at that time from local residents who feared that a park would generate much more traffic than Regional Road 7 can handle. It is the only access road onto Scugog Island, and even on summer weekends now, the traffic volume is heavy. However, it seems that any fear Island residents may have are a long way from becoming a reality. In the meantime, the 400 acres will remain partly in agriculture, for it is highly unlikely that any develop- ment will proceed in the forseeable future.
