UI hope we will use this as a catalyst for the rest of the muni- cipalIity. We should insue our- selves that it doesn't exist else- where." Edwards said he does not want Whitby ta experience the fate wbich recently befeli the Toronto General Hospital. The hosptal was finied $37,000 recently for failing to comply with asbestos regulations con- tained in the Act. Following the meeting, Bugelli told reporters council only found, out 'ab:out the asbestos problem last Friday. Bugelli said the matter came before council rather than through b is committee, as is standard procedure, "because council wanted ,ta act expedi- tiously.». He said offliciaIs of the Cana- dian Union of Public Employes which represents municipal employees, approved the Town'ys quick action. Bugelli noted that the Town bas owned the building siïice 1967 and, only after an "exbaus- tive study" was asbestos dis- covered. '<There areno health hazards-', he emphatically Étated. Work on removing the asbestos will start as soon as possible, said Bugelli. As for Edwards' contention that, a committee had been for- med by council, Bugelli dis- agreed. "I'm not aware that it requires 4etting, up a management com- mittee. We're dealing with the Centennial Building." But Edwards was adaniant that a committee. must be for- mew , *' The Adf' says a committee' sbould have been in place,". he told reporters.* .ý' "On the basis of-informiation I rpreived from .thé- Ministry of Labor and a quick reading of the Act it's been thrust upon us and we have ta carry on 'to its conclu- sion." Edwards said the Town will be in danger' of spending more 7noney in the future -if other buildings not inspecte& nowt are later found to contaih ashestos. *Buy 1 rake and get one package of' TUFF GIANT CLEAR *LAWN & GARDEN.
