He added that at no time in his campaign had become personal with. his opposition nor had he intended to but he wanted to clarifY some misunderstanding created by the personal attack taken by Robert Nixon concerning the integrity of the premier. Mr. Davis said that he had heard Mr. Nixon say on occasion that the Davis 'government was irresponsible in its policies and showed no effort to curb government spending. The premier pointed out that it is very easy to criticize the government about spending but not in the same breath Mr. Nixon uses to say he will lift the ceiling off of education , spending aild , that the province will pick up 80 percent of the costs. "We are taking steps to stimulate the economy and reduce spending," he said. • "We cut back the civil servants staff from 71,000 to 68,000, we restricted health and education spending where possible but we„ still have to maintain our responsibilities ir ••. .0 A, ,1441,1110.44 Ini9t . $100*4 VIr,, .In the vs,m4110.01* sadMr- "Vm sWt walting for itat Sa),NS' policy is troM one day,to theneW • Mr; O. said: he had been acctisect being „.., *Oration in his apparent refusat to operate with the. fecleral .government on /SAWS aftecting boti province and the country., He Weir the recent refusaj. thepa,Vis regime pay the ten cent*** on fuel. *arm prepared to work with the federal government but I reserve the right to speak up for the consumer and taxpayer in Ontario when I feel something is detrimental to him," said the prernier He added that if someone thought that a refusal to pay ten cents\ more tor a product, consumers were already paying too Much for was anti -confederation then he would Carroll claims housing crisis here result of to, , ministry finance , *9414 regvet ouowed by three u ,.„ provinces.

Village clerk Bill Heil said Friday the system will be owned and operated by the Ontario ministry of the environment. The capital cost will he recovered from the village over 40 years through a surcharge on resident utility bills. The surcharge will add 1,-12 percent to the $39 flat fee paid by residential utility -users, The following is the statement of New Dernocratic Party Candidate Paul Carroll concerning election issues and Huron -Middlesex. ' "In Huron -Middlesex, the election issues that seem to be emerging are not unlike the major questions around -the province. Perhaps, however, • they sit under. the umbrella of, governffient accessibility, By that I mean the degree to which cut...local citizens can play an active role in government decisions. "An example would be the, statement issued earlier by the - Conservative Candidate regarding the proposed nuclear power stationfor Huron when he declared that no such un- dertaking would proceed unless the citizens wish to have it. You and I both MOW that thOlavis government does not operate in this fashion. Any indication to the contrary should be treated as an idle election promise. If the facts were clearly known, declarations such as Mr. Hayter's can be. assessed quickly and, discounted with as much ease. "I know it is repetitive, and I made the same plea in 1971 and 1973, but - in order to return the government of Ontario to the people, the Davis, government must be turfed out. And it's up to us to ensure that that occurs. -Neither can we ignore the Liberals in this campaign. We are fighting a Liberal' in- cumbent, and We must be prepared , to talk about the travesty of Liberal policy as it has been declared by speakers from that Party over the past four years. We know for avfact„, that there are as Many positions on a given issue al there are Liberal members - Tuekersmith... continued from page 1 Andrew Crozier attended the council meeting to discuss his appeal on the Nott drain with engineer Henry Uderstadt of Orangeville. George Townsend was present as well and had several questions answered by council. The Nott drain is estimated to cost $50,000 and consists of 8,410 feet of aspen drain and 13,440 of closed drain. Council accepted the engineer's report. Court of Revision was held and the necessary by-laws passed. Tenders wilt be called for the construction work. Court a Revision was held on the Datars-Logan Drain and the necessary by-laws passed when no appeals were heard. Council passed a ti le drainage debenture,. payment by-law amounting tea $5,800. A request for a tile drain loan for $4,500 waS approved. Council gave third reading and passed the by-law to close the road in Harpurhey adjacent to the Fletcher Tile Company's property so 'that the company can get clear title to the whole property, which is part of Lot 14. Gordon Heard was at the meeting as his property it also part ot Lot 14 and he requested that he flhare part of the road, allowance being dosed. However, council decided it -sbould the Pletcher property: to which it is adjacent as it pfd have no value as an Isolated pleceof land distant to the nettril pr•Operty: Allan Illeluilson, road stsperintendlfithl his report to and this will be their do*nfall. A moment's attention to, the campaign speeches of Robert Nixon will illustrate my con- tention. I have no doubt that Jack Riddell will show sym- ptoms of the same disease if he issues any statements during the campaign. "The issues, as 1 stated, are province -wide. Rousing is just as much a- problem in Huron - Middlesex as in anyother area. In Goderich, where new homes are most common in the over -45 thousand dollar range, housing is out of reach for most families. High down payments, coupled with high interest rates even make it difficult for those who can afford to purchase. You are just plain out of luck in most places in this province if your income is less than 4164000:404 40' "The housing crisis is the result of acategoricalfailure on the part of the Davis govern- ment: They promised 100,000 new units per year and have failed miserably. There has been a three year decline in housing starts; between January and July of this year we built a mere 32,000 units. The rate is down 38 percent since 1972 - the situation is desparate - and tomorrow is not soon enough for the thousands of families whose anxiety about housing is increasing. 'And almost % of our population are tenants - ask any of them about their rent in-, creases- - and ask what protection the Davis govern- ment -has given a :ea review board during an election campaign - a board with no teeth and its hands tied behind itsback... "Energy costs are in the forefront of this campaign as. councit, said that the ministry of transportation and com- munications had checked all the township bridges and reported all satisfactory except for two bridges --Hanna bridge on sideroad 15-16 concession 3 Huron Road Survey which should be limited to load limit of 8.0 tons; and McLean bridge on sideroad 20-21, concession 4, which should be limited to 9.0 tons. Passed for payment were the following accounts: general accounts, 528,893.68; road accounts, 522,849.68; Vannstra Day Care Accounts, 515,261, and Vanastra Recreation ac- counts, $8,478.65. Harvey Hammond and Ron Conk!, both of Vanastra at- tended ,the meeting and asked for standard regulations covering commercial bultdings and residential buildings. Hammond's complaint con- cerned some commercial buildings being used as residences and gardens blocking the view of roadways causing driving hazards. Road Superintendent Mcholson was presented with the CS Anderson Road School certificate recognizing he had attended the three -do school at the University of Guelph in the spring. The school is sponsored by the Ontario Good Roads Association. Mr. Nicholkli said he finds it worthwhile and gains knowledge useful in his work.

And we can't forget for one minute that October the 1st wiH increase those prices by 8 or 9 more cents per gallon. An extension of that freeze could be expected however: Davis will no doubt fatten the election promises pot with such an extension in the next few days. But, what will he ultimately do when the election is over? "1 hope it is more than the present Royal Commission better termed an inquisition - which being held in public, pretends only to public par- ticipation and in fact makes it virtually impossible for all but the oil companies te place their position beforeit. That com- mission is nothing more than a reflection of the cosy relationship ithat exists. , bet- ween the present government and the oil companies. New Democrats have fought the oil companies in Ottawa and in this election we must ask for the chance to fight them at Queen's Park too. "We are all faced with the added burden of increased energy costs. Iffratine the trauma faced by the farmer when energy comsumption is a vital factor in considering his input costs... "The question of land use is an issue in Ontario. Spokesmen from all Parties findit a timely topic dming the campaign make jobs. CANADA/4 ADVERTISING ADVISORY flOARD periotl. It is an issue in Huron - Middlesex too. The Tories would have you believe that land use decisions will be made locally. Don't forget that it -was us - not the Liberals - who raised the issue of land use plans of the provincial government in the 1973 By- elebtion as they pertained to a proposed nuclear power plant for Huron and itt far-reaching impact on land in this riding. And don't for one minute let anyone try and tell' you it is a dead issue or a "red herring". have more to say about, that later in the -campaign. "New Democrats are committed to halt the erosion of agricultural land. And we are committed to the release of tand.presently being held by speculators for future developmeititp And as, this -dual - sided problem affects both housing and agriculture, we will not hesitate at getting tough. Municipalities must be empowered to take real control of this situation, whether it be through a form of land banking or even direct action in the area of home construction. "The final issue is people. By this I mean the human con- sequences of political -change or neglect.

The system will be connected to three sewage lagoons totalling 36 acres, to be located just south of the village limits. Mare than 450 connections will be available, which -will replace the present septic tanks. Mr. Heil said the village does not pollute nearby creeks at present, but the new system should facilitate residential and industrial development. PC's from its failure to meet the needs of people -, not simply through inadequate legislation but by pure neglect. Stephen is documenting such cases on a daily basis and Huron - Middlesex is not without its examples too. As our campaign progeesses we must bring them to the public eye. "This is not a dead election campaign. There is a high public awarenessand a receptive atmosphere. It's the best chance we have had in Huron -Middlesex to make our point and make the necessary gains." 41 444, o444 rtC et, 11,11,81,,f1.
