"In considering the servicing of an area of 2,600 acres, which is only short of 278 acres of being the present acreage in Midland, I would expect that the ratepayers placed on urban assessment would be demanding full urban services. Just think of the enormous cost_involved in supplying these services, of which the ratepayers of the annexing municipality (Midland) would be expected to finance," Darby said. Also, "'The developers and property owners in the development area have not demanded that urban services be supplied but have agreed to supply the hard services according to provincial ' regulations, at no cost whatsoever to the tax--- payers of Tiny. In other words, no services are required from Midland." Speaking of the township's fire department, the reeve Said, that the developers of the Highway 27 mall, have agreed to provide land for a fire hall and to provide a large capacity water storage tank. Darby said that marketing surveys have shown that local residents spent a lot of their money out of the immediate Midland area, and that a local mall, such as the Highway 27 mall, which is supposed to expand, would help keep consumer dollars in the Midland area. - _ ee Le Caron construction begins Preparation for the construction of Ecole Secondaire Le Caron began Wednesday morning at the end of John Street.

Speaking to Midland and District Rotarians, Darby, reacting to charges that Tiny Township is second-rate in its planning for the future, said the township has an approved official plan, zoning bylaws, and "numerous secondary plan amendments" and, "'as a matter of fact, Tiny's secondary township plan ent No. 23 which in- cludes the Highway 27 area was discussed in co-operation with Penetanguishene recently, he said. Penetanguishene in fact has met with Tiny Township on two occasions in an attempt to reach agreement on the terms of the township's zoning bylaw that controls development along Highway 27. The Minister of Housing instituted a freeze on development in Tiny Township in the corridor along High- way 27 between Midland and Penetanguishene in the spring at Penetanguishene's request. Penetanguishene is concerned that development along the highway will continue, until the way to Penetanguishene becomes similar to, Mayor Ron Bellisle said by way of example, the Barrie commercial strip. Wednesday, Reeve Darby told Rotarians that "we do feel that a certain amount of commercial development is justified, but we are not interested in allowing for the development of another Bayfield Street (The Barrie strip). The two municipalities have still to agree on the terms of Tiny Township's zoning bylaw. Darby also told Rotarians that the Highway 27 mall, scheduled to be expanded, is paying for its necessary services. \ putting in the school, said footings would tendent of Eldale Structures Ltd., which is begin to be laid next Tuesday. eer a ay da ge ET a a nag ne one Ti 6a <= > Citizen briefly Two alarms sound but no fires: PFD Late Tuesday afternoon Penetanguishene firefighters made two runs to Penetanguishene General Hospital within minutes of each other. Fire Chief Ted Light reports there were no fires to quell in either instance. Turns out the calls were prompted by faulty direct alarms to the local answering service.

Tough decision for Robillard Jamie Robillard, president of Penetang- Midland Ball Hockey League, is busy these days trying to make a decision on a team for the Ontario Junior Championships in Orillia Aug. 22. At the present time, he is holding tryouts for players of the junior division and his task is to cut down a group of about 30 hopeful players to a team of around 16. No winner yet! To date, there has not yet been a winner declared in the recent Toanche Park Fastball Tournament. The problem began when several games were forced into extra innings which meant the championship game was delayed. Playing in the final match were Lercar Construction and Penetang Sand and Gravel, both of Penetang Fastball but that game was called off after the fourth inning because of darkness. The score at that point was 0-0. The prize money of $275 for first and $150 for second was then added together and split between the two teams with the agreement they would play a game to decide who gets the trophy. Lercar Construction and Penetang Sand and Gravel were playing a league game last Thursday in McGuire Park in Penetanguishene but that game ended in a 4-4 tie after seven innings of play. That meant the trophy still could not be awarded.
