Dear Sir: The Wingham Public Utili- ties Commission was initially surprised at the objections rais- ed by some of the citizens liv- ing not too far from the propos- ed Carling Terrace site of Wingharn's new substation, but even more surprised that any objections continue to exist af- ter complete explanations have been given. The Commission can think of no other facilities or changes it might make related to this project which would allow it to retain the many efficient and economical advantages on be- half of its customers which this ideal site provides.

The area north of the railway is unlikely to be involv- ed in the future residential de- velopment as it is a proposed industrial site. The thirty foot green belt agreed to by the Commission, between the lot line and the fence is infinitely more than in most residential subdivisions anywhere. Land- scaping, as suggested by the Commission, is included, and will be designed to provide a buffer for sight and sound. It is the sincere opinion of the Wingham Public Utilities Commission that the work it proposes to carry out at this site will be a definite improvement over its former state and in the best interest of the citizens of Wingham. Wingham Public Utilities Commission. John W. Pattison R, H. Lloyd D. C. Miller. Wingham, Ont., Sept. 14, 1966. Dear Sir: The friction between the ratepayers of Boland St., Carl- ing Terrace and Catherine St., and surrounding area and the P.U.C. has gone far enough. We, as an interested group, have tried to explain our feelings in this very important (to us at any rate) matter of the erection of a sub-station and pole yard at the bottom of our property. What to date has come out of these business-like, gentleman- ly, meetings? A so-called compromise of 30 feet from the back of the af- fected property lines and 28 feet from the newly constructed street. This 30 feet might ap- pear to be a fair compromise but if figured out correctly it only means the moving of the site 8 feet further back than the originally planned site or two feet more than the original compromise offer. This is rid- iculous! Therefore a compromise is not the answer. We want and demand as ratepayers and citi- zens of this town to do away with this sub-station project, period. No compromises, out! out! out! Since these discussions have begun, pro and con, numerous insulting remarks have been fired. There is no room for these childish procedures. We take an interest in our proper- ties and we pay taxes and pay for electricity. It only takes pure and simple common sense to determine that a sub-station and pole yard should not be built in a residential section. If some of our local elected representatives would stick up for people's rights and not as- sume the position of a local zoning and planning board,(by whose authority we don't know) it would be a much happier community all round. We want a zoning by-law. It seems an odd (or is it use- less?) thing to teach our child- ren democratic process, the idea of fair play, and consider- ation for the views of other in- dividuals and then in this, the lowest level of representative institutions, to find such cut and dried decisions made with lit- tle compromise given to local people. Does not then the say- ing "A sovreign's ear ill brooks a subject's questioning" still ap- ply in our twentieth century? We would like some consid- eration. Fire has to be fought with fire. We need commun- ity support from everyone in this fair town. It's a two way street; the next project could Continued from Page One to relieve the hazard that exists at its present site, Mr. Lloyd outlined the in- crease in load in the area, stat- ing that since 1964 the load at the hospital has increased by three times, CKNX has doubled and both the high and public schools will be using more pow- er. Mayor Miller said, "It is es- sential that the station is built. All we are talking about is a few feet, and I-think this extra distance provided should be sat- isfactory to the people of the area." Mr. Pattison went on to tell the meeting that in order to co- operate with the people the PUC spent a considerable amount of money to buy a low- hum transformer in order to keep the noise level at a mini- mum. He said, "The people of the area have given the PUC a rough time, and we have had a very busy year as a lot of ex- tra work has been done, includ- ing the building of a new line and the installation of several new water mains." Councillor Bennett asked whether it was the intention of the PUC to give the extra space allowance. Mr. Patti- son replied in the affirmative, provided Ontario Hydro ap- proves and this approval should be given on Tuesday when the engineer inspects the site. Continued from Page One ing reasonable and will accept the sub-station under certain conditions. lie went on to say that the reason the 18 feet al- lowance between the station fence and the residential prop- erty line has been set as a mini- mum is to allow for a pole yard to the north of the transformers and the switching building. He said the pole yard could be built anywhere, but the sub- station can't. l le stated, "I think we will have to do without a pole yard at this site, particularly as the lease on the present yard used by the RUC has been renewed for three years." The mayor concluded by saying, "I think this matter can be resolved with a little compromise." Councillor Cruickshank ask- ed Mr. Campbell what reasons his group had had from the RUC for not wanting to move the be in your area. Think about it.

We are pleased to report Mr. Russel Ross arrived home from Victoria Hospital, London, on Friday. The PUC chairman said his group has been damned and cursed and threatened with loss of business by the people of the area. "However," he claimed, "I'm convinced we are doing the proper thing." Deputy Reeve Alexander said, "I think the PUC has now compromised and the people should be happy." Finally council passed a mo- tion which endorsed the PUC plans provided the extra space between the property line and the south fence of the station is incorporated. Before the session closed PUC member R. H. Lloyd said there had been indications that an effort would be made to un- seat him. He stated that at the last election he was legally elected and it was after the election that his firm had been sold to Tormont, which may have made a difference. "How- ever," he, said, "I think this is peanut politics. As for next year, I can purchase a piece of property or I can drop off the Commission. I haven't made up my mind." Mayor Miller agreed with Mr. Lloyd. He said Mr. Lloyd has given his services to the town for years and this is a small attitude. "I've been as- sociated with Mr. Lloyd for many years in community af- fairs and he has always done his best for the town," Mayor Mil- ler declared. transformers farther to the north, Mr. Campbell replied that in verbal discussions the PUC members had said there would be too much line loss; that PUC employees would have to walk through considerable snow to read the meters in the winter; that it would mean extra grass cutting. Ile said his group of- fered to dig a pathway into the area in the winter if this was a problem, or even to pull the PUC superintendent in on a to- boggan. Mayor Miller interjected that he could not understand why there is a problem when it could be so easily settled. Mayor DeWitt Miller brought the discussion to a close when he recommended that council and the PIIC hold a joint meet- ing in order to resolve the mat- ter. Council agreed and de- cided to call the meeting for Monday night of this week. Wingham Advancei,TinteS.
