own property. The business of agri-
culture is of prime importance in this
township and must not be impeded.
10. With landfill sites in this com-
munity working on encouraging the
recycling of wastes, and close to being
overtaxed now, we don't want to pro-
vide areas to public access for garbage
disposal, or a hiding place for stolen
vehicles or other mischief.
11. There is a danger of farm
guard dogs injuring trail users, with
ensuing damage liability claims.
There is also a danger of dogs or hor-
ses, cycles or snowmobiles injuring
livestock, children, or property
belonging to the farm owners.
12. We feel that no group now
supporting the proposition of convert-
ing these abandoned railway proper-
ties has the funding capabilities to
guarantee the high level of security
and policing necessary, to pay for the
preliminary survey and fencing of the
proposed trail, and to maintain weed
control and drain maintenance.
We set forth these objectives:
1. We are in favour of the munici-
pal councils becoming involved in the
disposal of the CPR properties to thus
facilitate the eventual return of the
land into the farm properties with the
property owners involved.
2. Drains, weed control, fences,
environmental protection, and stray
animals are all the township's respon-
sibility to control. The eventual return
of these lands to the farm parcel would
enable the farmer to control them at
his cost, not the township's.
3. We wish council to help us
make our voices heard now, before the
decision is taken without due consulta-
tion by another agency of government.
If the land can be returned to the
farmer, we want the council to en-
courage its reclamation for agricultural
production where feasible. If the re-
claimed land is unsuitable for cultiva-
tion, we wish it to be re -forested.
In the event that our desires are
over -ruled by a provincial decision,
we wish certifiable guarantees that
these protections will be maintained at
the highest level, at a cost to whatever
agency develops the lands.0
