There were games and entertainment by Joyce Ireland and Michell McCutcheon on piano, Susan Langlois dancing and Julie Campbell with two songs. "It is time local Councils were given the authority to go ahead with essential public service projects of this kind. Let's put-an end to this nonsense of referring each and every case to Queen's Park for clearance. Obviously we must have guidelines established by the Provincial Government to protect our environment and the health of our citizens, but local Government should be in the hands of local people, who can be relied upon to carry out their functions in a responsible manner, without this nnielenting, arrogant abuse of power by Ministry officials," "Naturally, I am particularly concerned with my own area, where construction of sewage works for Belle River, Stoney Point and Wheatly is being delayed by bureaucratic inefficiency and bungling. Tax- payers throughout Ontario - in the Nith River in Oxford C flood about 9,000 acres of crop land and pipe it int system.

Richard Ruston, M.P.P. for Essex-Kent, this week accused the Ontario Municipal Board and Ministry of Environment of inefficiency and abuse of power in connection with 'delays on pro- posed sewage works in Ontario. "The bureaucrats at the O.M.B. and Ministry of Environ- ment are obviously hopelessly entangled in their own red tape. as well as extremely inefficient . in processing applications for sewage Works which are badly needed by towns and villages in the Province. They are forcing residents of Ontario to pay millions of dollars more than would have been necessary if thew projects had been allowed to go ahead quickly when appli- cations for permits were originally made", said Mr. Rus- ton, speaking in the debates on the Estimates of the Ministry of the Environment. fact through Canada - are forced to pay millions of dollars unnecessarily, because the Federal Government, through Central Mortgage and Housing, ' finances 66 per cent of all sewage projects, with 25 per cent being forgiveable if installed before 1977. This is yet another example of the Conservative Big Blue Machine feeding the fires of inflation, and placing an almost intolerable burden on the tax- payers of Ontario. Under gill Davis, centralized power at Queen's Park is so strong, it is giving rise to Very real concerti. People elect local government officials to handle public service projects, but the municipalities are hamstrung when prOvincial government officials drag their feet in granting ,clearances with- °tit -which construction cannot .begin."
