Reeve George Joynt of Lucknow interjected: "Let's put the blame where it belongs -.on the union." Reeve John H. Mic.Renzie of Bruce TOwnship, in whose muni- cipality the development is locat- ed , commented that the depart- ment of labor 'is also responsible for giving in to union demands. "The same thing is happening in St., Edmunds Township," said Reeve J. P. Johnstone Jr. , "On the construction taking place to en- large ferry service facilities." The debate on the impact of the development was sparked after council passed a motion giving permission to Peter Martin of Dil- lon and Company, county consult• ants, to proceed with an area im- pact study for Ontario Hydro. The study is basically to review the effedt on regions- near the develop, ment. The regions include the towns of. Port Elgin, Southampton, Kin- cardine and Walkerton, villages of Paisley, Ripley and Tiverton, and the Townships of Brtice, Hur- on and Saugeen. This' survey proceeds simultan- eously' with the population em- ployment study for the county. Mr. Martin said proceeding with both studies will prevent an overlapping of statistics., Several county councillors from outside the areas thought their municipalities should be included. Warden Vern Einke of Chesley remarked that the present growth of the complex will result in 'its becoming the area's only industry. "Nobody can compete with them' on a wage scale ," the warden ob- served. Representing Ontario Hydro, F. M'. Near said "Ontario Hydro takes a housing survey every year and the 25-mile area daes cover pro- jects for employees in towns that are affected." Don White, community rela- tions officer for the BNDP , Was quoted as saying. on Thursday that the wages at the development are high for Bruce County , but not espeeially high compared to other areas. "Hydro does not control the wage rates. They are established after bargaining with the particu- lar union. "We have to conform with wage rates established by the locals." Some communities already have approadied Ontario. Hydro to • discuss wages, he added.
