MOWER tax issue, on bottles doubtless referring to our excellent fire protection, recreational facilities, paved roads, sidewalks, water, street lighting, snow removal, sewers, weed control, and garbage collection. He uses this statement to justify the fact that Huron Park residents pay "exactly the same" taxes as other rural residents of the township. What he fails to mention is that these vital services, which are normally financed by taxation, are provided by the O.D.C. at no cost to the township. The Reeve apparently feels that the tax concern in Huron Park is due to the financial burden it represents. This is hardly the case at all. No one resents paying $10-$12 per month in return for the usual list of services provided from taxation. What we do resent is having these services financed through our rent and still be required to pay full township taxes as well. This would appear to be a classic example of double taxation. Mr. Hayter also states that our taxes are "a provincial concession given the township in lieu of a grant it received when the military base was in operation." This is an outright admission that Huron Park is subsidizing the rest of Stephen Township. How we can be held financially responsible for the loss of military revenue is difficult to understand? These facts form the basis for our claim that we are being ignored by Stephen Township. According to the township clerk, the potential residential revenue in Huron Park is just under $50,000 (364 houses at an average of $135 per house). This total doesn't even include the industrial tax revenue. They cheerfully take this money while Mr. Hayter blantantly states, "We haven't ignored them at all." The example he uses to prove this point defies belief. Does he refer to any of the vital services mentioned earlier? Does he offer the Huron Park resident a reasonable explanation for the use of our tax dollars? Let his words answer these questions. "We have spent more in the last year on dog control problems in the Park than the rest of the township put together." Mr. Hayter and his fellow elected officials would be well advised to recognize and respect the concentration of electoral power in Huron Park. A little organizing on the part of concerned residents could well result in a slate of Huron Park people on the elected bodies. Perhaps such a reversal of the status-quo is the only method to obtain a more equitable and sensible distribution of township taxes.

VIOLA McKNIGHT NORMAN WHITING, Auctioneer Phone 235-1964 28e Reply to summary The Exeter Times-Advocite Ltd., Exeter, Ontario Attention: The Editor Mr. Bill Batten Dear Sirs: In regard to your column "Batt'n Around" in the issue of May 14, 1970, we agree that pollution is a major problem which must be solved, but feel your summary "DOESN'T APPEAR FAIR". Your score in regard to the "Pollution Probe" at the University of Waterloo, broken down in percentages, agrees with other surveys conducted. An average of some known surveys conducted all across Canada shows the following: Paper 52-59% Cans , 18-31% Plastics 6.7% Bottles 4-6% (of the latter, 2-3% were soft drink bottles) In view of this, we question your summary mainly against the soft-drink industry. This does not mean that the soft-drink industry is turning away from its obligations. We are continually trying to find ways to increase the percentage of total sales for returnable bottles, as well as the return of our bottles. Consumer demand for convenience packaging forced our industry into both cans and no-return bottles in order to hold our position in the total market. Facts prove that our industry is prominent in both solid waste disposal research and anti-litter promotions. We are, and have been for some time, working closely with the Government, which leads to argue your statement re British Columbia. It is presumed you are referring to Bill No. 33, which does not put a complete ban on no-deposit beverage containers. We personally feel that a constructive Government- Industry Program in urban solid waste management should avoid emotional, unsound and piecemeal solutions. A tax or ban on a specific package, whether it be a newspaper, soft-drink bottle, etc. would be an unsatisfactory solution, and who is to determine where and on what products or packages such a tax or ban would start or finish? It is a proven fact that municipal disposal systems, which consist primarily of a garbage truck and dumping site, have failed to keep pace with the technological advances in the modern packaging of .today's society. Our suggestion is that the following forward steps be taken, as it is our belief that going backward solves very few problems: 1. Support and help finance research in the collection, separation, and re-cycling of raw refuse. Paper, metals and glass can all be re-used in various forms. 2. Support the Government and Municipalities to enforce anti-litter fines. It is a fact: PACKAGES DO NOT LITTER — PEOPLE DO. 3. Educate at school level with Government and Industry co-operating in providing films. 4. Involve industries in anti-litter advertising campaigns through all media, as well as our own packaging and products. Our industry is already involved, both technically and financially, in the above measures, and will continue to support these and all solid suggestions. May we expect the same help from other industries and every Canadian Citizen proud enough to claim "THIS LAND IS OUR LAND"? Yours very truly, Bill Gilfillan TUCKEY BEVERAGES LIMITED The Editor, The Exeter Times-Advocate, Exeter, Ontario. Dear Sir: The last Times-Advocate issue carried an article concerning Huron Park and charges by residents that both the Ontario Development Corporation and Stephen Township were ignoring the community's needs. I would appreciate the opportunity to express my opinions on several comments made by Stephen Township Reeve James Hayter. Mr. Hayter accurately states, "They have more facilities and services available to them than most towns in the area."
