The committee's recommendations included that Milers of open pits within the county be en- couraged to license their pits prior to July 1, 1981 as there is a simplified procedure for obtaining permits prior to that date; that it should be pointed out that wayside per- mos can only be obtained by municipalities or public bedies for specific municipal or road building projects requiring gravel, and since Huron County has now been designated under The. Pits and Quarries Act 1971, that Council support the passing of Bill 127, an Act to Revise the Pits and Quarries Con- trol Act 1971, It was the last recommen- dation that some county councillors disputed. They believe the designation of the county under the act is not in the best interests of the county's pit owners and operators and they do not ap- preciate the manner in which the. county was designated under the old act. County engineer Bob Dempsey explained to the council that he was under the impression the county would only be designated if requested under the new act. Two months ago the province designated the Fund Raising Dance ZURICH ARENA Theme: Up, Up, Up & Away Music donated by MOZART'S MELODY MAKERS Fri. Nov. 14 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Lunch provided Proceeds to Zurich, Grand Bend Figure Skating Club county under the old act of 1971. Designation carries several stipulations. Pit Owners and operators must have the pit licensed, The pit must.be surveyed and fenced and the opera tot will be charged 8 cents per metric tonne hauled from the pit to the provincial government AS a security that he will rehabilitate the pit. This security can be reclaimed each time the pit is rehabilitated, If the operator rehabilitates the pit each year, he can reclaim the security every year. In addition to these stipulations, under the new bill which is to be passed in the near future, the operator will be paying a surcharge of an additional 6 cents per metric tonne for rehabilita- tion of roads. Four cents will be paid to the municipality for rehabilitation of roads; 1/2 cent to the county for road rehabilitation; Yz cent for rehabilitating old pits and 1 cent for the province to ad- minister the act. County councillors were divided in their opinion regarding the act. Some feel it is time the county receiv- ed some retribution for the aggregates leaving the coun- ty and others feel the costs involved will persuade some small pit owners, mostly farmers, to close their pits, creating a shortage of gravel for township road construc- tion and maintenance. County engineer Bob Dempsey told council, the government believes the designation will permit the better management of a non- renewable resource. Dempsey told council, Huron has been designated a supply county for urban areas such as London and Sarnia. He said county road systems are being used by trucks to haul aggregates out of the county because they can avoid all the stops along highway 8, Dempsey said in an inter- view later the operation of the county's road program will not change because of the county's designation un- der the act. He said he will still look at the quality of the material in a pit, its prox- imity to the project and decide whether to apply for a .wayside permit or use a licensed pit. The only difference he said, will be If he chooses an unlicensed pit he will have to apply for the permit. Dempsey suggested to council that If a farmer can foresee that his pit will be opened several times in the next few arearS, he would be advised to license the pit because each time a wayside permit is granted the pit must be opened, rehabilitated and closed. The act also means farmers cannot purchase gravel from a pit across the road which has been opened with a wayside permit, while the township or county corn- pletes road work in the area, The farmer would have to purchase his gravel from the nearest licenced pit even if it was several miles away. Dempsey admitted that the government cannot begin to monitor every small pit which faces the back of a farm, "They'll never be able to count the loads of gravel going across the road to the neighbour's," he said. Ashfield reeve Warren Zinn told council he believes the act is a good thing because in many municipalities, an un- renewable resource is being hauled out of the county which will generate higher costs for the county in the future. Goderich deputy-reeve Bob Allen said he supports bill 127. He said the flow out of the county is tremendous and without the bill, the county has nothing coming back to the county for all the` aggregate hauled out. The bill, he added, is 20 years late in coming. Bill Elston who has op- posed the designation from the beginning, commented that a farmer opening a new pit will encounter several costs: the pit must be licens- ed, surveyed and fenced. In addition he has to pay the security for pit rehabilita- tion and the surcharge for road rehabilitation. "Little operators will be driven out of business because their operations won't warrant the cost of licensing and many farmers," he said, "haul from two or three small pits." "It will become too expen- sive for small municipalities to operate," added the Morris township reeve. Grant Stirling of Goderich Township remarked the designation "just creates jobs for more fat cats". The Goderich Township reeve said in their township pit, they rehabilitate every day because as they take out a bucket of,• gravel it fills up More than 800 volunteers across Canada are busy putting the final plans into action for the opening of the 52nd Royal Agricultural Winter Fair,.November 13 to 22. Livestock judging and auction sales of beef and dairy cattle, sheep, goats and swine lend • an in- ternational excitment as buyers from around the world get ready to enter the bidding for some of the famous purebred dairy and beef cattle Canada has to offer. All these events are open to the public each day of this world-renowned Fair. Having won the gold medal championship in the Nation's Cup in Rotterdam, Holland, the Canadian Equestrian Team will be striving to maintain its top standing against teams from France, Germany and the U.S.A. at all performances of the Royal Horse Show. Six matinees and eight evening performances will see competitive action from Hackneys, Hunters, Arabians, Palominos, Belgians, Clydesdales, Percherons and Roadsters. The Royal Flower Show attracts people of all ages to wander along broad avenues banked with magnificent floral displays arranged by parks departments and florists of southern Ontario. Exotic birds and live animals will be interspersed among more than 20,000 plants. Three Canadian singing duos and organ music by Dorothy Brombey-Smythe will provide entertainment daily along with square with water so they have a series of little lakes. Wingham's reeve Joe Kerr commented he thinks the licensing, fencing and sur- veying' costs on top of rehabilitation securities• and surcharges will' just be too much and many farmers will close their pits. He pointed out he is not impressed with the knowledge of some govern- ment officials. He said they were into his office recently to ask what dead sand was and he told them "it was tired gravel". Reeve Elston added "It's like the mafia moving into an enterprise and eventually taking over. You have to pay exactly what they ask." When council considered the report of the aggregate study committee, they took a recorded vote on the recommendation' that since the county has been designated under the old act of 1971, the county council should support the passing of Bill 127, to revise the 1971 act. The council passed the recommendation by a vote of 28 in favour and 21 against. STARTS DOWN Permits valued at $91,689 were approved by building inspector Brian Johnston during the past month. In his report to council, Monday, Johnston stated that one permit was issued for a new house in the Darl- ing subdivision. It brings to four the total of new homes in Exeter this year, com- pared to 16 in 1979. In a question from Deputy- Reeve Harold Patterson, Johnston said the total value of permits issued this year Would be well below last year's total, although more permits were actually issued. Eleven residential renovations and additions Were undertaken in the month and four commercial. .Would: be confusing The 75 members of the Huron Real Estate Board are hoping that a proposed 72-hour "cooling-off period" for all real estate trap. aactions never becomes a reality. "It would create un- certainty in all parties' minds and came confusion for both the vendor or. the purchaser. It would make it more difficult for anyone to complete a transaction," said Paul, Zurbrigg, president of the Huron Real Estate Board. A 72-hour cancellation clause has been called for by the City of Cambridge and a copy of this resolution has been sent to all Ontario municipalities for their support. The Cambridge resolution has been passed on to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), urging the cooling- off period be instituted as a protection for consumers. Paul Zurbrigg claims that far from protecting the consumer, such a cooling-off period would create many difficulties. He explained - that most realtors are members of real estate boards such as the Huron Real Estate board, and they are governed by a strict code of ethics and standards. Any member who doesn't conform to the prescribed standards would be disciplined by the local real estate board, or lose his membership. He said there are realtors who aren't members of a real estate board, and that consumers would get more protection if they make sure the realtor they use is a member. .Poelt 294 Timis;Ativ to Novorattior St 1910
