In its annual report, the committee stated that the landbank purchases of South Cayuga Townsend and Edwardsburgh were made without adequate planning and were 'improperly , con- ducted, Hearings into the purchases by the all party committee began last year. These were• part of a continuing probe into the more than $622 million the province has banked for townsites, industrial development and parks larger than 300 acres, Public interest in the hearings in- creased when the former Treasurer John White testified that he decided one night while driving in the area to purchase both the Townsend and South Cayuga sites on Lake Erie because he dreamed of two cities there in the future. Also recommended by the committee: that any data collected by the Government through the use of public opinion polls be made public; that the government refuse to renegotiate con- tracts with consultants for Huron County Family Planning Project Invites You To Attend FAMILY PLANNING CLINIC Every Tuesday from 6: 30 •/- 9 p.m. HURON COUNTY HEALTH UNIT Ann St., Exeter For information Call 235.1014 Weekdays,or Tuesaoy evenings' Everyone welcomf. • trial for fraud and theft, Htindreds of people lost their savings in the collapse of the firms, and the eaM- rnitteels trying to deternilne whether bungling or political influence played a part in the decision of the Ministry of COristinier and.

South Cayuga Almost a thousand angry citizens held• a meeting in Dunnville to protest the government's selection of South Cayuga•as a site for the disposal of liquid in- dustrial waste. They told Donald Chant, Chairman of the Crown waste agency which is soon to be incorporated that they won't accept anything short of a • full environmental hearing on the construction of the hazardous waste site, Dr. Chant promised to pass their message along to the Minister ,of the Environ- ment. While environmental assessment has been ruled out by the government, he vowed to resign his new post if the Environment Minister backed down on a public hearing into the technology and geology of the site, or went ahead with the site against the recom- mendations of the hearings .of which he, Dr. Chant, will be chairman.• Meanwhile, at Queen's Park the Minigter of the Environment has stated that he may hold off ex- propriating 'and for the proposed liquid industrial waste site until it is deter- mined that the site is safe. But landowners will have to allow access to their properties for testing. According to ministry officials, ten or eleven properties will have to be expropriated within the 640- acre buffer zone surrounding landfill operations and a plant for treating or solidifying wastes. In the one mile control area en- compassing that are about 40 properties, which include about 25 homes, where some 70 people live. Those living within the control zone but outside the buffer area will have the option of living there or selling to the government.
