'thy Hospital. A brother for Robbie . 27=78-1 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. some tender and sonic less 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. house, T-Bone and wing: 24 pounds of rump and sirloin tip 'roasts; and 28 lbs of stewing or ground meat. Fat. bones and cutting shrinkage account for the remaining 43 lbs. lit a front quarter of approximately 150 lbs. you get about 20 lbs of tender rib roasts:58 lbs,of less tender roasts such as plate brisket, brisket point. blade, short rib, cross rib and chuck roasts; and 32 pounds of stewing or ground meat. The • remaining 40 lbs covers fat, bones and cutting shrinkage. A steer is obviously nit all steaks and rib roasts. If your Ira's" does not care for pot roasts. ground beef or stew, there's no point in buying-a front quarter. 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, check to see if the price of cutting, wrapping and quick-freezing is included in the cost per pound Town; ittk '(Continued from Page U if we contrast this With sintliat expbnditures in the larger urban, centres, where it is proposed . additional tax money be provided, the disparity in costs is unmis- takeable, 'Taking the data' front 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. 4(0111 19 44* a Seaforth Entertainment: Thursday Friday - Li -- Green tion.

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.
