Chapman was commenting on a report that a Midland 'union official was advised he couldn't talk union business while on town business: The revelation came to light late yesterday morning after this newspaper made an attempt to be brought up to date as to the future of contract talks between the union and the town. The local union of- ficial declined to discuss the current situation aside 'from informing this newspaper he _You can.vol unter but not - belegisiate ™! cat iy ma \ gent bie 'town wa: letter a to focal MPs and MPPs ie as Any cp te "of Midland: council wtio is - willing to sit as a member of the Huronia Social Planning Council can do'so, but Midland councillors were +told Monday night there's nothing in local bylaws to legislate them to sit on the planning councij.

Conciliator Stevenson is to. report tis findings to the 'Minister of Labour who is expected 'to sign that report next week. The union will then be in a ieee position to strike days later.

That pact has already been turned down by union members who voted not long ago to withhold their ser- vices if their demands aren't met. Trevor Day undaunted after caution... Although he received a mild slap on the knuckles Monday night by several of his colleagues, Deputy-reeve Bev Day of Midland indicated he planned to stand by his policy of making council-related documents available to constituents in the town if they requested them. Both Mayor Moreland Lynn and Reeve Catherine Dion verbally pinned the deputy-reeve's ears back after Alderman Ian Ross wanted to know how former council member William Ogilvie had received a document pertaining to legal advice the town had received concerning the Norene Street local improvement saga. Day was told there are certain: documents that should be kept con- fidential especially those coming from the town's solicitor. The mayor went so far as to warn policy "to Day to consider that policy however the deputy-reeve stood by his guns having previously said that it was his let anybody see my documents no matter if they are for or against'"' (what council is doing.) as well 'as to both-the .. provincial "and federal cabinets. And most local law- amakers expressed their collective 'concern regarding a federal government decision to store non-toxic nuclear waste in a dump site at Base Borden. Although Alderman Richard Platt termed the topic "a motherheod issue" most of~ his colleagues around the council table took a different view and when the debate concluded council voted 7-2 in favour of informing the federal government of its opposition. Both Platt and Alderman Joe Blake didn't endorse the resolution.

Earlier this spring a Ministry of the Environment _ prelim- inary study found the site to be one of 11 in the province considered "dangerous."
