A. McDOWELL LTD. CENTRALIA, ONTARIO Plant: 235-0833 Office: 228-6961 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING TO: Residents of the Townships of McGillivray, West Williams and the Town of Parkhill The Northwest Middlesex Planning Board is considering two draft amendments to the present Official Plan. AMENDMENT NO. 1 Amendment No. 1 vyill affect two of the policies for severances in the rural area. First, the Official Plan now allows a bonafide farmer to sever a lot for a son or daughter assisting with the farm operation. The effect of Amendment No. 1 would require a farmer who now wishes to sever a lot for a son or daughter to show that the severance would not result or lead to the creation of a less viable.or non-viable farm and that the son or daughter will live on the lot and assist the farm operation. The farmer must also show that the farm is of a size and type to require on-site labour and that alternatives to the severance have been investigated. The second change in the severance policy affects surplus farm dwellings. The Official Plan now allows a bonafide farmer to sever a surplus farm house that has been con- solidated into one holding. If the Amendment to the Plan is approved the severance of surplus farm houses will no longer be permitted. AMENDMENT NO. 2 Amendment No. 2 will affect all existing lots in the rural area with an area between 15,000 square feet and fifty (50) acres. The present Official Plan policy allows existing lots in the rural area with an area of two (2) acres or less to be used as one single-family dwelling per lot. If Amendment No. 2 is ap- proved, existing lots with an area from 15,000 square feet to fifty (50) acres could be used for one single-family dwelling per lot. Residents of the Northwest Middlesex Planning Area are en- couraged to participate with the Planning Board in reaching a decision which will affect their area.

That utilities .are highly dependent on the prompt payment of utility accounts in main- taining an efficient operation and paying their bills without unnecessary borrowing while maintaining an adequate supply of light and power at the lowest possible cost. And that delays iri payment add to operating costs which, are shared in the end, by all utility customers. Whatever kind of water heater you have, it makes good sense to use water carefully, to conserve energy. Here are a few tips which may help to avoid waste. 0U You'll use less hot water in the laundry if you wash only full loads. If your washing machine has a water level selector, choose the right amount for the. size of the load. at. A dripping tap or shower head wastes a surpr4ng amount of hot water, and they're both easy to fix. While the Cascade, water heater is designed.to use electricity efficiently, it's up to you to use it wisely, not wastefully. Exeter Public Utilities Commission 379 Main St., S. Phone 235-1350 R. E.
