Free Press photo Recycling costs studied.......... FROM PAGE 1 Metro Toronto has already in- dicated it will be introducing a recycling system in the near future. At such a time, the amount of recycled products will increase dramatically, and if the market for these products does not keep pace, the result will be increased recycling deficits. Chief administrative officer Don Evans suggested that in such a case the Province would have to under- take required actions to ensure the industry will provide markets for the recycled products. At the same time, Evans requested the Province continue the Municipal Recycling Support Program operating grants beyond the present five-year term. "Given the above market uncer- tainties, the fact that the province is the key initiator of the program, the continued increasing costs relating to recycling and waste disposal in general, and in order to ensure the longterm viability of the program, it is requested that operating assistance continue," said Evans. He said staff members are now developing a systemi of financial management controls which will result in an accountable relation- ship between the Region and the operator of the program, Durham Recycling Centre Inc., (DRCI). At the present time, Evans stated that detailed financial reports, which were developed jointly by the Region and DRIC, are being prepared by DRCI to monitor the program's revenues and expenses. Regular audits and reporting procedures will be in place by the time the program starts in late oc- tober or early November. $15,000 withheid until more figures provided Whitby council has granted the Whitby Historical Society $5,000 to assist with the operation of the Whitby archives but has withheld $15,000 in assistance for the Whitby museum. Grants for various agencies in town are normally handed out at budget time. But during budget discussions in March, the Town refused to give society members any money until they provided an audited statement. The Town was hoping the statement would show where money, given to the society in 1984 for roof repairs to Lynde House, was spent since the Lynde House was moved to Cullen Gardens before the work was done. But the statement the society presented to operations committee last week showed no indication of a grant for roof repairs, an amount that is also baffling councillors. During budget discussions in March, the amount was said to be $6,500. At last week's meeting, society treasurer John Buchanan said all he could find was an extra $3,500 from the Town in 1985 which he thinks was for the roof repairs while regional councillor Tom Ed- wards said he was positive the amount was $14,000. "There was a grant that included money, $14,000, for roof repairs one year and before we conclude this we should ascertain the actual sum of money in the books," said Ed- wards. That information was not the only obstacle between*the society and the $15,000 grant. "I am buffaloed why you need $15,000 for the museum," remarked operations chairman Ross Batten. "I'm not seeing the true financial picture," he said, adding he wanted to see figures showing where the society financially stands now. "You didn't say you wanted 1987 figures," responded Rod Angevaare, a member of the society. Angevaare told committee the museum, which is currently located in the Kendalwood plaza, is now open full-time, four days a week. While the museum was located in the Lynde House, it closed down at various times during the year. After an hour and a half of discussion, committee agreed to approve the $5,000 for the archives but to hold off on approving the $15,000 until the actual amount for the grant can be ascertained and figures for the 1987 operation of the society can be provided. Council agreed with the decision Monday night. More uses allowed in commercial nuns asTenEXT ATO BUni ASTER FREEZE AND BAHIERY ~ ET LATERB SEPT. 28th to OCT. 9th 7 PUMPKIN PIE $1.~~ea.
