Can I save money by buying a
side of beef? More and more
people are asking that question.
There is no simple "yes"or "no"
answer. One has to make a
careful comparison of costs
among the three alternatives
available: buying a side or a
quarter: buying wholesale cuts
(loin, round, chuck): or buying
retail cuts.
When you buy a hind or a front
quarter, you get a variety of cuts.

tender, You should have an idea
of the amount of steaks, roasts.
pot roasts and minced meat you'll
get. In a hind quarter of
approximately 150 lbs, you can
expect about 55 pounds of steaks,
such as round. sirloin, porter.

you get about 20 lbs of tender rib
roasts:58 lbs,of less tender roasts
such as plate brisket, brisket

care for pot roasts. ground beef or

Most freezer beef sales arc
made on the basis of the
"hanging weight" of the carcass.
This is the weight before any
excess fat or bone is trimmed
away. There is about 25 per cent
waste that jtas to be taken into
account when calculating the
price of your purchase. Also,

centres, where it is proposed

the disparity in costs is unmis-

the 1972 municipal financial
reports, which were the latest
,available to me, the 27 large cities
in Ontario spent $15,842,000 on
garbage collection and disposal.
On their aggregate taxable
assessment this was a tax levy of
2.8 mills. In-that same year the
charge per household for collec-
tion in Seaforth was $18 annually
or the equivalent of a tax levy of 6
mills in addition to which there
was the cost of operation of the
disposal site of 2 mills. If 'the
costs in the cities have increased
at about the same rate as ours we
can assume they are facing a tax
levy in 1975 of about 3.5 mills as
compared to our equivalent cost
of 10 mills. When you consider
adding the additional 11 mills for
an incinerator you can possibly
understand our feeling of injus-
tice. We do not feel that the
problem at present is of sufficient"
magnitude to warrant such an
additional tax burden and simply
ask that we be allowed to continue
to operate as we have been until
such time as the proposed 'central
reCtiving recycling installation
can be of use to us.
If it is absolutely essential that
we cease our present operation
then we• feel that we should be
also receiving some financial
assistance towards this large
capital expenditure. •
Brief Reviews Problem
I have been directed by the
Council of the Town of Seaforth to
submit this brief for your con-
sideration on the matter of
domestic waste disposal as it
relates to the needs of small
municipalities in rural areas.
Sonic twenty-five years ago the
Town of Seaforth acquired a
parcel" of land continguous to its
southe'rly limit, with the express
.permission of the township, and
used it to provide a place for its
citizens to dispose of waste
material. This parcel of approxi-
mately five acres has b een in use
for this purpose since that time.
It -was, of purse, the practice
then to burn .all combustible
waste and this could be done with
very little inconvenience to any
one since the prevailing wind is
front the south west and the land
to the cast of the waste disposal
site was unoccupied bush land;
gravel pit or farm land. Whether
it was realized or not this practice
of burning the combustible waste
was essential in order to reduce
t e volume of material accumu-
lated on t he site.
The five acre area could never
have accommodated the disposal
of solid waste from 2000-3000 for
more than a few years unless
sonic means had been provided to
reduce the residual volume. Also
whether it,,was understood or not
the site chpsen was good in that it
was removed from any water
do now plan to erect a newlence
whiclr we feel' will give better
control. We have over the paSt
four years establishes)a practice
of trenching and -covering but
have not been able to meet the
standards required by the
inspecting officer. Even at the
frequency which we are now
using in this trenching and ,
covering of waste, much 'of which
previously would have been
burned, it is obvious that our
present site has a very limited
fut toe,
Recognizing what seemed to be
the, inevitable in 1972 Council
decided that it should investigate
the possibility of locating an
approved waste incinerator at our
"dump" site.. A visit was made
to an operating Plibrico incinera-
tor at Dresden and a Trecan
incinerator at Collingwood. The
one at Dresden seemed to -be
operating very efficiently with
very little smoke or particulate
emission and we were assured by
theMunicipal Officials of Dres-
den that it was an approved
installation. By the summer of
1973 Council had decided that it
had no.alternative but to install an
incinerator and requested a
quotation from Plibrico (Canada)
Limited on .a "closed pit" type of
incinerator which was basically
the same as the one operating at
Dresden. Plibrico (Canada)
Limited quoted a price of
$83,900.00 for such a unit and
Was asked to obtain a ruling from
the Ministry concerning the con-
formity of the proposed installa-
tion with the relevant regulations.
In November, 1973, we were
informed that such an installation
would not be approved unless a
separation of at least 2500 feet
could be provided between the
incinerator and the nearest
residence. The practical effect of
this ruling was to make it
unrealistic to proceed since it was
most improbable that such a
requirement' could be met any-
Where_in this part of Ontario.
Plibrico was asked for a quotatio'n
on an improved, more costly, type
of incinerator, but before this
could be processed their parent
company had derided tq cease
this phase of :their operations.
Treean Limited was then asked to
quote on an incinerator which
they felt would be' approved and
we requested that they obtain
Ministry approval of this
proposal.
This was in December, 1973
and by February. 25, 1974, they
informed us that it appeared it
would be at least .mid March
before they could get a ruling
from the Ministry, ‘,,,On some
tentative suggestions of approval
_prqceeded.L.te_Pre34EC a
quotation in June, 1974 showing a
total installation cost of approxi-
mately1155,000:00. Council was
prepared to accept this and
passed the necessary enabling
by-law and made application to
the Ontario Municipal Board for
approval of the necessary deben-
ture issue. On July 31, 1974 , we,
were informed by the Ministry
that approval • would not be
granted for the installation pro-
posed by Trecan and it was
suggested that a "starved air"
type of incinerator wouia be '
required and three possible
sources of such equipMegewbre
given.
Of the three suggested only
Trecan Limited was ' able 4o
provide equipment of the
required size.' We obtained a
quotation of approximately
$155,000.00 from Trecan and a
copy of a letter from the Ministry
--giving agreement in principle to
the proposed installation. So
between November 1972 and
August, 1974 the cost of equip-
ment apparently, needed to satisfy
the Ministry's requirements had
increased from $83,900.00 to
$155,000,00. All this to'replace
facility which had been satisfac-
torily serving the Town of Sea-
forth and the surrounding area for
25 years and could likely have
continued to do so for another 10
to 15 years with little incon-
venience or 'discomfort to anyone
and at an annual cost of between
$1,000 and $2,000. Nevertheless,
Council has proceeded toward the
goal of implementing the
demands of the Ministry, and has
tacitly accepted the apparent
difficulty of legislating one set of
restrictive rules for the metropoli-
tan area's and another less
restrictive for the lesser needs in
the, rural areas of the province.
During this whole period from
1970 to the present we have been
under constant. ever increasing
pressure from Ministry person-
nel, by lette, Provisional Certifi-
cate4'Approval and personal visits
to cease "open burning", comply
with the regulations for "sanitary
land fill" and in general do
everything possible to ensure that
the present "dump" site
becomes filled as rapidly as
posible and long before any
alternative can be prOvided. This
pressure has, in fact, increased to
the point of implied threats to
prohibit further use.
In view of the foregoing and
Cpuhcil's acceptance,' albeit
reluctanly, of the necessity of
applying the same standards-
across .the whole province, you
may understand Council's dismay
to learn of the proposal to spend
millions of tax dollars to assist a
new large urban centres with
their waste disposal problem Not
only' were we being pressured
into spending large sums directly
and, at least to us, needlessly and
without any assistance„ but some\
of our tax dollars were to be spelli;,
in providing assistance to the
large urban areas. It is very little
comfort to be told, as we have
been told, that it is likely that as
the centres develop, waste will be
drawn from the surrounding
areas. By the time this happens
we will have been forced into the
expenditure of $100,000 to
$200,000 ancrivill not need access
to such a' centre, although we
might be forced to use it to help to
justify its continued existence.
It was out of this sense of gross
injustice that the Council of the
Town of Seaforth sent a resolution
of protest to the Minister of the
Environment. A total o1407 small
municipalities were asked to
support this protest and to date 80
have done so with 5 declining to
do so,- From some of the replies
from municipalities endorsing our
protest it would seem that we are
not the only ones undergoing a
similar pressure treatment.
It is the opinion, of the Council
of the Town of Seaforth:
(a) that the Government of
Ontario, where it imposes an
arbitrary standard that must be
complied with, should be consis-
tent with its past policy in other
areas such as highways, welfare,
etc., and should provide munici-
pal access to funds sufficient to
ease, at least, the burden of
capital costs imposed on the local
ratepayer, or
(b) that the Government of
Ontario take a more realistic view
of the needs of rural areas and
provide for a relaxation of the
standards imposed by the Waste
Management Act' and Regula-
tions made ander it in recognition
of the fo'ct that the rural environ-
ment can be much more tolerant
of the human impact than can the
large urban environment.

do so before, buying in bulk. You
cannot feeic more than 50 pounds
of meat in a 16 cubic foot freezer
in 24 hours. For fast freezing,
make sure'the Meat is placed near
the bottom and the sides of the

If you are not interested in all
the cuts that come with a side or
quarter, or if your freezer storage

buying a wholesale cut. From a,

The third alternative is buying
at retail only the particular cuts

watch the advertised "specials".

sure you are getting good value

course and the underlying strata_
are such,as to avoid leaching into
the acquifer. All in all it must be
said that the site has'served the
citizens of Seaforth, and the
adjuacent areas, well during the .
period since it was established,
During most of this time thit
operatiory has proceeded with'
little interference to anyone
except the owner-cofffiewadjacent
farm land. Approximately ten
years ago they decided to convert
their farm land to a golf course,'
and one portion of this course
occasionally is in the, path. of
smoke from the burning waste; a
fact of whiCh they were aware at
the time. Occasiontly the people
using the site would grow care-
less and create a fereoblem of
littering and the town authorities
would institute controls entil the
problem was corrected. Finally,
ab out ten years ago, a gate was
installed with public use of the
site restricted first to one half day
and then to two half days of
supervised use each week. This
system has worked quite well and
could continue . provide this
service to our citizens except for
the impositori of regulatory
'controls.
The passage ,of the Air Pollu-
tion Control Act, 1967, Ontario
Regulation 449/67 prohibited
"open burning" and inspectors
demanded that this cease. Then
passage of the Waste Manage-
ment Act and Ontario Regulation
376/70 prohibited the operation
of a ' "dump" except in specified
areas and the Town of Seaforth
was not in an excepted area,
In spite of the fact that "open
burning" was prohibited it soon
became obvious that the only way
to control it was by a' 24 hour
police patrol of the area, 7 days a
week, • and this would • 'have
required, more than double the
size of our police force. Similarly,
in \spite of the fact that the
operation of a "dump" was
prohibited, the people , of the
Town and surrounding area had
to have somewhere to dispose of
their solid wastes. If the dump
was to be closed an alternative
had to be provided and the only
alternatives seemed to be either
an incinerator or sanitary land
filling. Neither of these alterna-
tives could be implemented with
the same ease and speed with
which the aforesaid Acts and
Regulations had been passed.
This 'same situation must have
existed in many other munici-
palities and the sheer impossi-
bility of meeting these require-
ments must finally have been
realized in Queen's Park. Hints
were received that if application
was made -a permit might be
