WALKERTON James Friel ,E2ITER 1411d9WOOra• from BMA }Wen and Middleps counties have taken 'the first step to Organizing a committee to battle the passibility of a hydro tower route through agricultural rou.thethrland. Two class one and Two meetings were held late last week by the Foodland Hydro Committee to receive input on organizing and financing an at- tempt to influence a provincial hearing which will decide the course of the last Dbyearveolorpomuteenotu(tBotiethDe)B. ruce Nuclear Power Over 500 landOwners attended the first meeting, 'held March 21 at South Huron District High School in Exeter, and gave $13,220 to start financing hearing costs. A similar meeting was held March 22 at F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingliam. According to Tony McQuail, temporary Chairman, the Wingham meeting was not as well attended, but it was ,no surprise -becatise of the Friday scheduling. "There was similar unanimous support for the two motions" to change the conunit- tteeae'rsinsg.tructure and gather finances for the Mr. McQuail, a Turnberry Township farmer, began proceedings with an outline of the findings of the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning, the history of On- tario Hydro's attempts to develop a route from BNPD and information of the Foodland Hydro Cominittee's work at the original set of hearings in 1982. He ended the history with the result of the hearing's findings, which was a recornmen dation of the route the committee supported from BNPD to Essa. That recommendation was overturned after the Central Ontario COrditit SOiltheri1 Stecialty (rep Colutait. the Regiona tfief the 04 oiler and ca*rogei'.. l'Municipality of W4141109 and the County of 9 Oxford appealed to .'the Supreme Court of Ontario on the grounds "that they had not been adequately notified of the original hearing." k Mr. McQuail, a member of the original Foodland HydroVommittee which faced the hearing board, also suggested Ontario Hydro will have their favored routesiden- tified in mid -1985 and that the next hearing will likely he ,held in late 1985 or early 1986. He added Hydro hopes to have approval by mid -1986 to permit property acquisition and Construction to. start in 1986 with a projected 1989 completion. Individual membership The Foodland Hydro Committee which represented interests at the 1982 hearing was an umbrella group for 14 farm organizations. &cording to its members, it was an adequate organization for the work which was done at the time. For this set of hearings, it was noted that a switch from committee membership form- ed of members from the 14 farm organiza- tions to a membership based on individual landowners is more appropriate. "We'll work on the basis of individual membership to take the .pressure off the farm and rural organizations," said Mr. Mc - Quail. He also stressed the need for the • grassroots connection for communication before the hearing process and the hearing itself. • Each township of the estimated 24 which may be affected by a potential line will form - its own committee and elect a director and • alternate as representatives on the Foodland Hydro Committee.

Hydro's use of land.Or, inreapol statement from the floor, a Urn . radical rejection of unfavorablebearifll decision. He noted at that tune that'the coln mittee had successfully worked 'within law and he wasn't in the position to a any further measures. It was moved the revised organizatiOflal structure be accepted and a unanhuoua vote carried the motion. Mr. McQuail is tem- porary chairman until the full committee meets within the ne4, naonth, possibly April 17. • - The budget of $2,331.05 collected for the first heariqg to finance comMittee members' travelling, phone expenses and miscellaneous Rents was insufficient at that time and was said to be inadequate for the next hearing. The budget used as a rough estimate at the March 21 meeting includes S40,000 for legal fees for 40 days. Mailing, Foodland Hydro Committee meetings and hearing ex- penses add almost $35,000 to the total. Hear- ing costs could be granted to the organiza- tion. To raise a budget in the$75,000 to $100,000 range, the acting committee suggested that members put in $1 per acre of land owned in the grey shaded areas which form Hydro's corridors for the possible route to London. A donation of $50 was suggested for com- mercial or residential properties. "No one will be denied membership for financial reasons," it was written in the. agenda, "but if the Foodland Hydro Com- mittee is to be effective it must have a strong financial base."
