Ask grant for water, sewage
Tuckersmith Township council will
apply to the Ministry of the Environ-
ment for assistance (grant) under the
water and sewage program to
establish the municipal water system
south of the Bayfield River in
Egmondville, also to upgrade the pre-
sent distribution system in the main
part of the hamlet which is north of
the river.
There are about ten households
south of the river and some of them
have been having rather severe pro-
blems with water shortage, and they
would like Egmondville's water piped
over to them or a new deep well will
have to be constructed on the south
side. Tuckersmith is responsible for
By Jack Riddell MPP
The attached Open Letter was hand
delivered to the Minister of Consumer
and Commercial Relations this
afternoon.
Dear Mr. Elgie,
I am writing to you regarding a
matter of urgent importance requir-
ing your immediate attention. It con-
cerns the recent decision by the On-
tario Racing Commission of
December 20th to allow afternoon and
night post times for thoroughbred rac-
ing on the Ontario Jockey club circuit
in 1985.
In view of the stalemate in negotia-
tions on any possible solutions to the
Ontario harness racing strike, I re-
quest your immediate review of this
situation.
I need not tell you of the serious
hardships for a great number of per-
sons and organizations which is
created as a result of the stoppage of
standardbred horse racing in the pro-
vince. The standardbred industry has
developed racing operations in every
area of the province creating signifi-
cant investment and employment.
Your lack of involvement in helping
to resolve this situation is totally
unacceptable. Moreover, my at-
tempts to contact you or the Chair-
man of the Ontario Racing Commis-
sion on a number of occasions to help
resolve this situation have been futile
as my telephone calls have not
been returned.
I hope that your actions on this mat-
ter are not an indication of the lack
of importance with which you view
this situation. If that is the case, I
would urge that you ask the Premier
to transfer the jurisdiction of the On -
arm
Minister of Agriculture and Food to
where it rightly belongs. .
As you are abundantly aware, rac-
ing after dark in this province has
traditionally remained the sole
the water system for Egmondville.
Clerk Jack McLachlan was given
the authority to apply for the balance
of the 1984 road sutoidy from the
Ministry of Transportation and
Communications.
An ad is to be placed in the local
newspaper advising the rodents of
Tuckersmith that it is illegal to park
their cars on township roads during
the winter months and as well that the
township will not be responsible for
any damage to cars that are left park-
ed on the streets and roads.
Council has no objections to the
severance application of Russell Ar-
cher on Lot 40, Registered Plan 133 at
Vanastra Park (property across the

Racy issue
preserve of the standardbreds who
pioneered night racing in the
province.
The decision of the Ontario Racing
Commission is a complete reversal of
- traditional and declared preference
by the thoroughbreds for afternoon
racing until very recently. Moreover,
that decision remains even more baf-
fling in view of the fact that the On-
tario Racing Commission reversed
their original position as conveyed in
a letter of December 13 to the industry
not to allow 4:00 p.m. thoroughbred
racing as had been requested by the
Ontario Jockey Club.
As the Minister under whose
jurisdiction the administration of the
Racing Commission Act falls, I again
request that you review this situation
immediately with the view of correc-
ting the inequities being placed -on
standardbred racing through a
change in the latest decision of the On-
tario Racing Commission.
Yours truly.
Jack Riddell, M:P.P.
