"The conservatives » have consistantly refused to 'come to grips with the problems in • "their" Ontario,'' he said. The N.D.P. has repeatedly called for price revieWS and »ihtiafioh- * of increases in the cost of gas* home fuel, steel ana milk.

"(According to Statistics, Canada," he said, "milk prices have incrvsed•18.3 per cent oyer the past five years, whilethe cost of food generally has gone up 12.9 per cent." , „Milk deserves our scrutiny because it is a product for which the Conservative Government has already' established a partial • machinery of control, -Mr:" Carroll explained.

"Most important of all," he said, "we would establish a price review bard which would require companies to justify increases and publicly disclose » their balance sheets.

The protest stemmed from an announcement made by Finance Committee,. Chairman Dave Gower•that while crews werp•at the job of tutting down dead.. trees in various spots throughout the coinmunityi, they would be asked to remove a large Chesnut tree located behind the town hall, police Station area. .Mr. Gower excilained that the, tree is in the way of cars turning in that area,and therefore would be cut down. Following this report 'Mrs. Haydon came to the tree's defence pointing out that the tree is very old and that for all these years everyone has managed to live with it, arid that she failed to see why things had changed so much all of a sudden. "I am not one to stand in the way of progress for the sake of a ' tree," she pointed - out later, "but there is no real need to cut this orie and I disapprove strongly of having it removed." Mrs. Haydon said the tree is easily 60 to 70 years old. Mr. Gower pointed out that in his opinion the tree had already started to die,and in the interests of economy it would be cheaper to remove it now when the crews were engaged in a tree removal proje'ct.—, O.M.M.B. is the natural agency„ to keep statistics on the relevent factors in the producer to consumer milk route so that it is able to evaluate /all changes affecting the cost of milk at any' stage. . . • ."The government can attack to „protect the producers and consumers, together, and it is time for action now," he said. WttIr arid ins aid:that the ree'd1 look very dead to lie; and urged council to -wait until it was dead before cutting it doWn. Mayor Harry Wo'rsell promised Mrs. Haydon that the situation wony) be further studied before any action was taken, and a gObil look would be takerf at the tree in question. Reg Jewel, chairman of the parks committee, announced that with the end of the summer • season his committee had laid off two men as of September 30. HP also reported » that he htd received a number of -calls,from concerned, businessmen in ' the square re ion saying that the .new socL.Jcently put down in the park would die if it wAn't watered.Proper action was taken, he said, in that direction , with hoses being hooked up to fire hydrants in the area arid the grass well watered. Mr, Jewell alsoreported that an Oritario• Consumers Association van would be parking in the park for one afternoon in- the'near future as part of an Information drive by the group. Reeve Paul Carroll asked council for • direction on---» the matter of purchasing a block of 13 acres on the »river flat near the harbour. Negotiations were 7. already underway • with the Maitland Conservation Authority and council agreed to withhold action until the 4conservation authority indicates their intentions in the matter. A discussion of repairs needed on a house owned by the Town of Godericil took a great , deat'pf time, at last, Thursdays meeting:- Councillor Haydon • who had been to the site and inspected the premises- reported that in her •opinion the repaits necessary were urgent ,and had to be completed before winter. Haydn explained that the' roof had to be replaced)and the present 'veranda should be " torn down and replaced by a new porch. The roof she said was leaking so badly that considerable damage was being done to a. recent ' interior decorating project, completed by the town, and she also said the veranda was in such a sad state of repair that it was dangerpus. "No repairs to`the outside of this house, short of small maintance work, have been carried out in the past eight years," she said.
