BIA budget
The local Business Improvement
Association submitted a budget to
council Monday calling for expenditures
of $34,250 in 1981. The expenditures in-
clude $28,000 for the installation of
sidewalks, $1,250 for engineering costs,
$1,000 for assessment writeoff and $4,000
for promotion maps. The group has $5,000
to carry over from last year and will
raise $25;000 through BIA assessment.
Town declines
During 1981 the Shoppers Square
Association planned to spend $1,200 on
wages for a business manager and $2,300
for promotional advertising on radio for
three different promotions. The group
had alsointended to spend an additional
$4,000 to add to existing collection of
Christmas decorative lighting. In view of
the expenditures, the group asked
council to contribute $2,000f to the budget
an amount that would be matched by the
association. Council turned down the
request claiming it would not spend tax
dollars for private promotion,.,,...

Additional reductions ,in
the amount of phosphorus
entering the,. Great Lakes
will be regdired to achieve
environmentally acceptable
conditions in the Lakes, ac-
cording to.. a.. report to - the
Governments of the United
Slates and Canada released
by the International Joint
Commission. The report was
approved and signed. by the
Commission on _January. 30,_
1981.
The control of excessive.
inputsof phosphorus has
been recognized since the
1960's as the best overall ap-
proach for the Great Lakes.
While progress has been
made in recent years in
reducing phosphorus loads
to the Great Lakes, current
programs are not expected
to achieve the phosphorus
control goals of the 1978
Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreenient.
The 1978 Agreement
between Canada and the
United States incorporated
new tentative "target loads"
that were subject to confir-
mation. IJC has concluded
that these target loads repre-
sent the best available scien-
tific opinion on the subject
and has recommended that'
they be confirmed by the
Governments. .
The IJC also outlined a
pollution control strategy
that would permit achieve-
ment of the target loads. It
includes additional control of
municipal waste water treat-
ment plant discharges to
lakes Ontario, Erie, and
southern Lake Huron, as
well as rural and urban non -
point (land drainage)
phosphorus control pro-
grams, and the extension of
restrictions on the amount of
phosphates in laundry
detergents to the entire
Great Lakes Basin.
The report to the Govern-
ments of the United States
and Canada is a Supplemen-
tal Report under the
Reference on Pollution in the
Great Lakes System from
Land Use Activities
(PLUARG), and is based in
part on findings " from the
IJC's earlier PLAURG study
and the IJC Task Force on
Phosphorus Management
Strategies which recently
completed its study.

tal Report on Phosphorus

Concern about water runoff problems in the
proposed Conklin Subdivison on the fringe of town
have prompted council to register concerns with the
Ministry of Housing.
Originally the town declined to comment to the
Ministry on the subdivison but council now feels that
water runoff is creating flooding problems in the
Industrial Park. A motion was passed asking the
Ministry to allow the town a three-day extension for
objections and comments on the subdivision while the
commissioner of Works. gathers data on the water
problem.
The deadline for submissions to the Ministry was
Wednesday and although the towny had .previously
declinedcomment on the subdivision, it now claims
flooding is avalid concern.
The Ministry of Housing asked for comments on the
subdivion last summer and while council offered no
comment, the planning board raised several points of
contention.
Planning board wanted to express concern to the
ministry about the premature development of land in
the urban [ring. They were also concerned about the
impact on existing wells in the area, the effect of
development on municipal soft services and claimed
that a servicing arrangement was not properly
discussed between the town and township.
At a regular meeting of council Monday, Com-
missioner of Works, Ken Hunter explained that in-
sufficient drainage would cause severe problems in
the Industrial Park and the wooded area directly to
,the north of the park.
Deputy -reeve Bob Allen insisted that a redesigned
subdivision plan has not been presented to planning
board adding that the town had a right to self
protection.
"It is our job to protect the town and we should
register an objection," he said. "We want to know
what they will do about runoff."

Councillor Elsa Haydon chastised council for
tardiness claiming np comment was offered last
summer' and now, council wanted to register con-
cerns as the deadline approached.
"Council had no objections originally but planning
board delved into it," she said. "It is worthwhile to
look into the servicing but there is a time limit."
Reeve Don Wheeler agreed it was up to council to
protect the town and its interests.
"I am concerned with the storage of runoff water
and what is proposed is not sufficient," he said. "Itis
incumbent on the municipality to express these
concerns to the Ministry."

gets $350,000
An all-time record of
$350.,000 in donations is the
goal of the,. London Sym-
phony Orchestra's 1981
Development Campaign,
reports Campaign Chairman
Peter G. White.
This goal represents a 37
percent increase over the
$256,000 raised by the Sym-
phony Association in 1980.
With the campaign moving
into its major phase, the
London Symphony Or-
chestra already has raised
$125,000 toward its objec-
tives.
The proceeds will be used
for regular operations of the
orchestra and for elimina-
tion of the deficit. Ire addi-
tion, they will serve as a
basis for receiving endow-
ment funds from the two-for-
one matching Wintario
Challenge Fund program.
Total funds of $989,000 can be
obtained by the London Sym-
phony Orchestra from the
Challenge Fund over the
three-year life of the pro-
gram if campaign objectives
are met.
