Instead of the study's projection of a $70 per household tax increase, the truer figure would be closer to $88, he said, adding that capital costs and operating costs should not be lumped together for financing purposes. Several stacks of blue, plastic recycling bins are waiting at the Grey Township works shed for dis- tribution and in a month's time the township; in co-operation with McKillop Township will begin using the boxes in a pilot project 100 per cent funded by the Ministry of the Environment. Grey Towrishipelerk Brad Knight said thitwo townships, which share a -landfill site, will utilize -1,250 blue boxes usually used in curbside pickup. The township will accumulate data, such as the tonnage of refuse, to determine if the blue boxes promote recycling and forward the information to the Ministry. Mr. Knight said the theory behind the project that the blue boxes will serve as a constant reminder to residents that they must recycle. A large recycling bin has been at the landfill site since last September, and Mr. Knight said he is pleased with the use of it. Grey Township will distribute 750 boxes to its residents in the next three to four weeks. Each household will receive one box. Mr. Knight said a pamphlet well prepared on the project will be distributed. Town council, he said, will not be adding to its administrative staff by establishing the position of program co-ordinator as recommended in the plan.

Turnberry Councillor Paul Elgie said he is very concerned about the amount of money the centre would cost, especially its already - projected yearly deficit of $37,000. His sentiments were echoed by a number of Others, including Wingham Councillor Bill McGrath, who estimated the facility would have to generate revenue of $300 per day. John Cox of Turnberry asked about the revenue of the indoor swimming pool at Vanastra. While Mr. Hunt said he did not have those figures with him, recreation com- mittee member Rennie Alexander said he understands that the facility breaks even yearly: However, Turnberry Reeve Brian 0110101110110111011101/1011011101/111111011101/110/10111 LITCRUltt IIPRE 1111. p a.21./....1 ...I -.I -.T.i Phone 357-1630 for 24 hour movie information HELD OVER FOR THE SECOND RIG WEEK • 11 SUNDAY TO AND DE SSHrOTAIINYCIV.E‘igInir 8:0POMPM NEGGE11 DEVITO 111 Only their mather di can telitham apart.

While the study indicates that the Lower Town Dam is the number -one priority for the majority of people in the study area, the consultants prepared a feasi- bility- study for a new aquatics centre. The dam is the number -one prior- ity and should be restored this year, Mr. Hunt replied, even if subsidy dollars are not available. Mr. Hunt said earlier studies on the dam are tantamount to a feasibility study. He said those studies indicate restoration of the dam could cost between $300,000and $650,000. However, Mr. McGrath said recent figures indicate the dam could cost upwards of $1 million to replace. Council will have to decide on its priorities, said Mr. Hunt. "You people have to make some decisions as well." When Councillor Fred Meier of East Wawanosh asked if any allowance had been made for land acquisition costs, Mr. Hunt replied, "no", admitting it would be an additional cost. Ross Hamilton, master plan com- mittee member, had the last word. "I'm a little disappointed that all the questions have been about finances," he said. While Mr. Hamilton said he understands that elected representatives have to think about money, they must think about people too. "We're losing good people every rnonth," because there are .in- -adequate recreational and social facilities in Wingham, he continued. The aquatics centre is a way for Wingham and area "to move into the 21st Century. There will be no problem paying for it and the rewards will be worth it," Mr. Hamilton claimed.
