EXETER 225-2200 DISCUSS AUTHORITY ENLARGEMENT - The boundaries of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority were enlarged at a special meeting Thursday. Now included is a small portion of Goderich township and all the lake shore from Bayfield to a southerly point in Bosanquet township. Shown above discussing the matter are Authority chairman Elgin Thompson; Russ Powell, Conservation Authorities regional supervisor; Ellis Dryer, assistant to the branch director and the local Authority's resources manager Roger Martin. Interviews held by Hydro give no information on consequences By ADRIAN VOS Ontario Hydro has held in- terviews with Huron county people to find out if they ap- proved or disapproved the proposed new power station in Huron county. However, they did not give any information as to the consequences a power plant would have on the jobs and taxes of the people in Huron's towns and villages, from Wingham through Goderich down to the South. As a result, if my information is correct, townspeople generally were in favour of a power plant. I will give here some of the drawbacks that a power plant will have on our towns, as ex- perienced by the people, in other areas, who were suddenly con- fronted with great industrial development, which they initially welcomed with a great deal of joyous expectation. In Bruce county about 8,000 persons work on the Douglas Point project. Let's assume that in Huron county it would be 4,000 workers. The average family being 31,a persons, it would require housing, schools, recreation facilities, restaurants and store expansion, sewers and water for 14,000 people. Hydro would pay some of this, but the greater burden will fall on all Huron taxpayers, that is you and me. The London Free Press reported that a belated study in Bruce county shows it will cost the surrounding municipalities $24.5 million. The study says that the Douglas Point station will have an adverse affect on nearby municipalities for the cost of providing additional services. Our county council would be well advised to initiate a similar study, so we, the taxpayers, will have a better idea if there are any benefits in this type of development. When the plant is completed there will be at the most 1,000 people permanently employed. The cost incurred for the 3,000families-thatleave willbe all wasted and the empty facilities have to be abandoned or kept up with your and mine tax money. Another side effect felt in Bruce was the closing of small plants who couldn't compete with the wages paid the power plant workers. As a result many were laid off and, in the case of older workers, (45 and up) very dif- ficult to find a new job. If this Huron plant would be started in the next five years, it would af- fect workers who are now in their late thirties. This again will hit your pocket book, for that is where welfare is coming from, I know that real estate people will probably frown on this letter, for they are the only ones who stand to profit by industrial expansion of this kind. There will also be a few farmers who will receive premium prices for their land. This however will be limited to a very few whose land is needed for the plant site and for the needed subdivisions for 4,000 families. If it goes like Bruce, there will 41•10.41•1.• .111P ..•111.11411.1.1..10.11.1.

The boundaries of the Authority were extended at a special meeting Thursday night to include all lake fronts in an area from north of Iiayfield to near the southerly extremities of Bosanquet township, Only the seven municipalities involved were allowed to vote on the expansion question. In ad- dition to Bosanquet the others were the villages of Bayfield and Grand Bend and the townships of Goderich, Stanley, Hay and Stephen. Bayfield was not represented at the meeting but the other six voted unanimously to accept the proposal, Immediately following, the full Authority was asked to accept the additional area of jurisdiction and this also carried unanimously. Also included in the expanded territory was a small inland portion of Goderich township not previously included in the watershed. After approval was given, Grand Bend reeve Bob Sharen said he knew of at least three groups which were prepared to ask the Authority for help in erosion control along the banks of Lake Huron. He was told by resources manager Roger Martin that a workshop on erosion control to let all interested property owners know of the possibilities under this and another provincial program was being planned. Martin said he hoped to arrange a meeting in Grand Bend on a Saturday in the near future. Former Aui thority chairman Bill Amos suggested a meeting be held in Grand Bend in the mor- ning and in Bayfield in the af- ternoon. Russ Powell, regional super- visor of Conservation Authority programs said he felt a lot of people didn't know about erosion help under existing provincial legislation. Hay township representative John Tinney said one errosion project in his township had been processed, At the same meeting, the Authority approved the purchase of two additional properties. In the first acquisition, the Authority bought one acre of land and a house as part of the Van Gastel property near Clinton. The property will cost $9,000. The Authority's share of the cost after provincial grants will be $2,250 and this will be shared by all municipalities, The second purchase will not" cost the Authority members a single cent. The balance of $47,500 after grants from the province will be paid for by the Authority's Foundation which is currently being formed. The purchase price for the 550 acres near the existing Parkhill Conservation area is $190,000. The property included 190 acres of workable land and 50 acres of hardwood bush. The balance is valleyland, slopes and bottom land. Roger Martin told the' meeting that the purchase of this property will allow the Authority to become eligible for 75 percent in grants for all of their 1974 ex- penditures instead of the usual 70 percent. While the Authority hasn't decided on uses for the new property Martin said there were - Please turn to Page 19 be a ban on development within a five mile radius of the plant. This locks this land in agriculture and the farmer who owns this land is locked in a low price. Probably lower than before, for who wants the risk of a nuclear plant or the smoke of a coal fired plant on his doorstep? I could bring forth many more arguments, all against a power plant in Huron county. What we should have is an independent study of all the effects by an independent group if we want this plant, not by biased hydro em- ployees.
