Correspondence from the Town of Barrie clerk, reads in part: "lot licencing and/or permit fees on trailer units located in campgrounds has been a mauer of concern to many municipalities in Ontario for a number of years and it appears that no action has been taken by the provincial government an this tsruc to date. ` "Of particular concern is the inequity between seasonal cottagers who arc required to pay taxes and owners of seasonal trailer units who also utilize municipal services such as roads, disposal sites and fire •protection service and yet are not assessed or do not pay a municipal fee." • The resolution asks for the government to address this inequity and "end discrimination against 'seasonal cottagers' and ensure that 'seasonal trailer units' contribute to the services that they utilize:" The resolution is asking that "owners of units that remain in campgrounds for more than 90 days be required to pay' an annual lee up to $100 to the owner/operator of the campgrounds and that this fee be remitted to the municipality on an annual basis for all such units."

"There would be an adverse impact on the natural environment. Kincardine is the only site in the county using the leachate collection system. A new site may be safer." He also said there would be the inequality of showing long-term. capacity. "A municipality with 40 years capacity may say 'we realty planned well. Why should we share it with someone who didn't have the foresight'. Or a municipality. may be more aggressive recycling while others aren't." • ' He said the costs of implementa- tion may escalate. If a municipality finds a problem occurring with leachateand it pays to have the leachate patched, one day it won't make sense to fix it any more. "There are other implementation difficulties. If another municipality were to join the club in, sharing, people bringing in the waste would have to. pay. The municipality would have. to be compensated for taking someone else's garbage."

"BASWRA is a Bruce County solution," Reavie said after BASWRA manager Marlowe Emke made a report to council. Emke's report included urging municipalities to take a look at what they can do to reduce landfill use by recycling. The BASWRA (Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling Association) plant near Southampton now takes recyclables from 53 per cent of the households. in the county, and processes recyclables. from other municipalitieson a contract basis. "Ourposts have continued to drop in 1994 due to increased tonnage being processed at our plant," Emke said. BASWRA is now expanding its plant. Emke said the goal is to offer recycling service to more municipalities, and to be ready to play a part in the county's goal of diverting 50 per cent of its garbage from landfill sites •see Prices, page 5 Remand case to June 15 Three Lucknow men were remanded in custody when they appeared in Wingham provincial court on May 1$.
