"A Family Tradition for 126 Years" -- --_-- -- ha PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, May 26, 1992 - 3 Agreement should be reached soon on tire storage dispute By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star The Township of Scugog and Ministry of the Environment are close to an agreement con- cerning tires illegally stored on Scugog Island. Mayor Howard Hall told the Star on Friday that an agree- ment has been drafted by the township's lawyers and sent to the ministry. It is now awaiting areply from the ministry. A large quantity of tires have been stored in a barn on Scugog Island for approximately 18 months. Despite numerous at- tempts to have the tires re- moved by the guilty party in- cluding a legal battle, the township has been frustrated in its attempts. Under the agreement, the Ministry of the Environment will pay 85 per cent of the costs, while the township will pay 15 per cent of the costs. The agreement, dated May 20, estimates the total cost of 40% off in Port Perry Area - For May Only Interlock Specialists ® Landscape Estimates Free the project to be $75,500.
