the survey had a 60 percent
return from the owners and gave
the ministry a good idea about
people's concerns of public use of
their land.
Mr. Bellinger said the greatest
objection was . mechanized

people seemed to be concerned
about damages resulting from the

This in our view was not
surprising, as the report by
Professor - Comay and his
Committee is described as the
first comprehensive review of The
Ontario Planning system since
1946. If this is the case the
amendments must be numerous
