Vol. 19 No. 22, Folio 40 Tuesday, May 20, 1986 40 cents Town seeks taxpayers support Penetanguishene Town Council is now waiting for the green light from the local taxpayers to proceed with plans to complete sanitary sewers on a number of roads in the Town under the Local Im- provement Act. According to Administrator Yvon Gagne, as outlined in the Local Improve- ment Act, the Town has published notices of their intention to construct the sewers on Jury Drive, Broad Street, Cam- bridge Street, Fuller Avenue, Robert Street East, Dunlop Street, Louise Cres- cent and Lorne Avenue, and is now get- ting ready to call for tenders on the construction. In order for the plan to be stopped by taxpayers, Gagne said, 51 per cent of the homeowners on those streets designated for the sewers must file objections. If that many objections are laid against the $1,349,393.92 construction, the ad- ministrator adds, the town would then be subject to an Ontario Municipal Board hearing before any of the work could be started. With the Ministry of the Environment picking of $904,496.18 of the bill, the Corporation of the Town of Pene- tanguishene will pay $267,130.53. The cost to the homeowners in the Sewage plant now complete All systems are turned on at the Town of Penetanguishene's new Sewage Treat- ment Plant and all that is left now is an official ribbon cutting ceremony. According to Town Administrator Yvon Gagne, work on the plant located at the northern end of Fox Street has been completed for some time and the plant has been in operation since last month. Although the Town's second sewage plant is now running full steam, Gagne added, the new system is being careful- ly monitored to make sure everything is working properly. The administrator says all that is left to be done is some landscaping in the surrounding area. The Town is looking at June 27 as a date for the official opening ceremony, but that depends on whether Ministry of the Environment officials are available for the event. Gagne added the Town is also looking into doing some work to clean up the parkland near the plant before the opening. July show set The Tommy Hunter Show is being brough to Midland on July 26 by the Midland Fall Fair committee. Two per- formances will be given in Centennial Arena. Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door. Tickets are scheduled to be offered for sale in the near future in Johnstone's Music Land. The bring- ing of the Tommy Hunter Show to Midland is a promotion for the annual fall fair. The Tommy Hunter Show has become an institution of the CBC. Town is estimated to cost $76.57 per metre frontage which may be paid in 10 equal annual installments or in a lump sum.

Council to set budget Penetanguishene taxpayers can expect to find out how much their taxes are in- creasing this year following Monday evening's meeting of Penetang Town Council. According to Town Administrator Yvon Gagne, the municipality's 1986 budget will be brought down at May's regular meeting of the Town's lawmakers on Monday night. Although council orginally hopes to unveil their budget at last month's regular meeting, because a number of the budget proposals from the individual subcommittees of council had to be resubmitted the final draft was not com- pleted in time. Gagne says the final budget submis- sion is now completed and will definite- ly be the main item of business on the agenda for Monday's sitting of council in the council chambers of the Municipal Offices. The 7:30 p.m. meeting is open to the public.
