The first is scheduled for Tuesday morning, January 16 at 11 a.m. at the Stephen township Community hall in Crediton. It is a Municipal Board hearing to consider a water system for residents in the north-westerly end of the township. This is actually the con- tinuation of a hearing held in Renovations to start shortly Plans are underway to make renovations and additions to the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority office in Exeter with an approximate cost of $12,500. Roger Martin, Resources Manager, said the improvements include the enlargement of the board room, a small kitchen which will be added on, a storage room for records, and superin- tendent's office and two new washrooms. The Authority applied for the $12,500 project from the govern- ment, and have received verbal approval of the application. Mr. Martin said that the project might not cost quite that much, but it was better than being $500 short. He said that work will begin oy the first of February and hopes it will be done within a month or five weeks. He also added that following completion of the renovations, the conservation authority will hold open house, probably sometime in April, August of 1971. The application was not approved at that time because the OMB wanted a further clarification of the rate structure. Most of the residents included in the application are in Oakwood and the other summer sub- divisions north of Grand Bend on the west side on highway 21, All ratepayers affected by the proposed water system have received an official notice of the hearing with full particulars.

"Metropolitan areas must not be allowed to use prime farm land as garbage dumps," protests Gordon. Hill, President, Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "This is one more threat showing the need for farmers to be deeply involved in long-term land use planning. We will not tolerate highways, in- dustry, or decaying garbage that unnecessarily waste our land." Metro Toronto politicians are planning to freight 400,000 tons of the city's garbage yearly to rural areas. The garbage is to be buried in trenches and covered with loose fill. Government sources have leaked that four out of the five dump sites being considered are in Wellington county. "These cities must not be allowed to ravage good productive soil, simply to hide their refuse, It is their garbage, let them dispose of it — on their own land. "We do not want their vermin, disease, or the risk to our water table." Metro officials have suggested digging trenches to five feet from the water table. Peter Hannam, Wellington Federation of Agriculture president says, "The water table shifts dramatically with seasons, here. Dumping will not be safe. If there is no risk, why are they going to this great expense to get the garbage out of Toronto?" Hannam, a Guelph beef far- mer, maintains cities must eventually pay the price for ef- ficient regeneration or com- pacting systems.
