The Pay Equity issue at Blyth
council has been turned over to the
village's attorney.
There has been controversy as to
whether the Pay Equity Committee
which had begun work under, the
previous council should continue
its work to its conclusion or
whether a new committee, made up
from the present council, should be
appointed. Council has been
adamant that a new committee
should be appointed. Members of
the previous committee have been
upset with the decision.
Also unhappy with the decision

on the province to halt the process
of mega dump selection but the
Blyth resolution will ask only that
all alternatives be examined.
"Throughout the world people
have discerned better ways of dis-
posing of their garbage than putting
it in landfill sites," Reeve Bailey
said. The reeve said he had been
interested in waste management for
more than 20 years since doing
some work for the Ontario Federa-
tion of Agriculture concerning a
London-area landfill on farmland.
While the province is against
incineration of waste, incinerators
have now been engineered that pro-
vide smoke stack emissions that arc
cleaner than the air in most down-
town city streets, Reeve Bailey
said. The fly ash from incinerators
is now used in such things as fertil-
to continue is Edwin Sormin,
review officer with the Pay Equity
Commission. "I strongly recom-
mend Council see its way clear to
reverse its Dec. 22, 1994 motions
to "disband the Pay Equity Com-
mittee", and promptly proceed with
completing the 1990 Pay Equity
Plan with the original Pay Equity
Committee," he said in a letter
dated Jan. 23. He offered to meet
with council prior to its meeting
Feb. 6. Councillors decided, how-
ever, to forward Mr. Sormin's let-
ter, along with a previous letter to
the village solicitor for comment.

izers and cinder block.
There is also a proposal from
Canadian Agra to build a plant at
the Bruce Energy Centre which
would make use of virtually every-
thing in garbage. Plastics would be
pelletized, tin, baled, and glass
ground up.
"I think before our county does
anything (more) about finding a
landfill site they should examine
the alternatives. It may not be feasi-
ble but it should be looked at."
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour
mentioned an article he'd read
about an energy-from-waste project
where burning one ton of garbage
produced electricity equivalent to
burning a barrel of oil.
Councilor Gerald Kerr made the
motion to have the resolution draft-
ed and brought back to the next
council session on Fcb. 20.
The annual audit of the village's
books was scheduled to begin last
week. Councillors agreed to take
the unusual step of having a firm of
outside auditors review the work of
Vodden, Bender and Seebach once
the audit is completed. The council
will also seek estimates from sever-
al firms for the job of auditing the
village for the year ending Dec. 31,
1995.

John Rinn got plaudits from
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour for
spotting some illegal material
among garbage coming to the
Blyth-Hullett landfill in a shipment
from Turnberry Township. Mr.
Rinn took photos of the material
and showed Turnberry officials
who have agreed to make sure it
stays out of the garbage in the
future.
***
Councillors thanked the capacity
audience in attendance at the meet-
ing and welcomed them to come
back to the next meeting. Reeve
Bailey asked the audience what
they thought of a proposal to
expand the council chambers back
into an unused space at the back of
the building to allow more room for
spectators. The only comment
came from John Elliott who sug-
gested perhaps the council could
use the space upstairs outside the
Masonic Lodge.
