Report from Queen's Park A 90 -day freeze has been imple- mented on the prices of gasoline, diesel fuel, pRropane and home heating oil until October 1st, an- nounced Premier William Davis in the House last week. During the price freeze in On- tario, a one-man royal commis- sion will be established to ex- amine price levels, hear argu- ments from the oil companies and recommend to the provincial Museum association elects committee heads There were 17 persons present on Monday eveniing at an open m�eeti�pg,1$d in. Die Town gall of the newly -formed ,Historical Society. Mrs. is E. Morrey, presi- dent, conducted the meeting. The minutes of the meeting forming the society on June 10, as recorded by Miss Sophia Marty- nec of the Wingham Advance - Times staff, were read by the secretary, Ed Fielding, and 'ap- proved. An executive meeting was held on June 20, at which some time was spent reviewing the rules and regulations governing such a body. These facts were presented to the open meeting. On recam- mendation of Jim Currie and George Allen the meeting ap- proved the changing of the name to -The Wingham 'and District Museum Association". It was also suggested by the executive that committees be formed. Persons named to head these committees will choose a wide range of knowledgeable and interested citizens to add to the makeup of the association. Com- mittees approved were: manage- ment, four directors and six members; property. John Pat- tison ; finance, Stewart Beattie; promotion and publicity, .Frank Madill ,appraisal, Jim historical, Mrs. G. W. Tiffin Mr. Allen and Mrs. Ene Mc. Gregor were elected honorary members of the association. Al- lan Harrison will be the town of Wingham representative on the association board. The executive reported to the gathering their findings of an in- spection tour of the second floor of the old post office building. There would need to be consider- able cleaning and decorating done, but the location of the rooms and the size of same would lend admirably to the layout of the material for the proposed museum. A further meeting of the com- mittee heads and the executive will be held at a suitable date in the near future to lay plans for the furtherance of this project. In the meantime we seek the co- operation of the citizens of Wing - ham and the surrounding district to preserve and make available the use of historical documents and such other items that would form the nucleus of the proposed museum. PUC increases- fees for waterworks jobs The Wingham Public Utilities Commission will be charging higher fees for waterworks ser- vice connection 'Charges and watermain installation effective August 1. The decision was made last Thursday at a regular meet- ing of the commission. Service connection charges for any -tiring up to three -quarter -inch pipe will be increased from 575 to S10O. Watermain installation charges will be 511 per foot. but this. charge includes materials, labor and excavation. The reason for the increases. %rhic i will af- fect primarily new homebuilders and subdi`-iders. is purely practi- cal - the PUC hopes to recover more of their costs for the materials. The costs .to the PUC have increased about 72 per cent cn'> ,r last year: the PUC increase is only about 27 per cent. but it should help offset cots tempor- arily In other insiness. the PUC de- cided not to cover the outside of the water tower with crystallite until more information on the ap- pearance and durability of substance becomes available. They are still working to discover vste-thet or MA there really as a leek is the tower . The have infer . the PUC that the efflormcence. coating due to chemical des, mild d keep on OPt. - for years but will do no harm to the structure. The town engineer will be called in to further in- vestigate the situation and to give his approval to have the pump turned on. The pump has been under repair for some time now. The PUC has also decided to pave artd landscape the area around the water tower once all the work is completed. A new phone . system is being 'planned for emergency monitor- ing operations at PUC instal- lations. The tape system will be activated in case of alarm at the pumps and will dial a sequence of numbers to ensure that someone answers. Once the phone is an- swered, the sequence will be completed. The system should cost aroma 12+00. The PUC will also plan to pur- chase a monitoring system soon for ur,,e at substations. The sys- tem was originally owned by On- tario Hydro but is being discon- tinued. The Winwham PVC hopes to purchase at least some of the equipment in the near future . . As a public service. the Wing- tam PUC has voted to supply the water. free of charge, for the International Pliswing Match to be hed issa swath of town in 1978. The plowing match organizing committee will be informed of the offer by later government what it should do after the freeze. This move will fix wholesale and retail prices in the province at the levels that were charged on June 23rd, federal budget night, plus the excise tax of 10 cents a gallon imposed by the new bud- get. . To uphold the freeze the Petrol- eum Products Price Freeze Act was given first reading in the legislature .this week and it pro- vides for fines of up to $25,000 for corporations, and up to $2,000 for company -officers or directors cteoddof raising prices; refus- ' 4tieltilyeoinformafiiiii or knowingly supplying false in- formation. to the province. As the province does not have a lot of inspectors to enforce the proposed law Mr. Davis said "the history o: this kind of legislation has been that it's sort of enforced by the consumers." Liberal Leader Robert Nixon supported the Ontario Govern- ment's 90 -day gasoline and fuel oil price freeze, but ,, said "it should be extended into the win- ter season to help offset home heating costs". Mr. Nixon also asked Mr. Davis in the House if he has any real concern about energy prices that he prevent Ontario Hydra's pro- posed rate increases of almost 30 per cent, being reviewed by the Ontario Energy Board. The Ontario Government an- nounced a program to stabilize income to producers of beef calves, and the plan will guaran- tee producers 50 cents a hundred- weight for stocker calves this year. This guarantee is for the first year of a five-year beef calf income stabilization program, but the government says the plan "must not be viewed as a guar- anteed income scheme, rather it is a plan to stabilize the income of beef calf producers." High lot prices in Ontario Government sponsored Home Ownership Made Easy projects are under investigation, accord- ing to Housing Minister Donald Irvine. Mr. Irvine • said some people taking part in the project are finding themselves unable to purchase the land on which their homes are built. Mr. Irvine is going to make a policy statement in two weeks which will determine how fair market value is placed on lot prices. Royal assent was given in the Legislature last week to 12 bills, including legislation to provide for the province's first ombuds- man. M Premier William Davis is faced with one of his toughest problems to appoint a new agriculture min- ister. William Stewart, who has held this crucial cabinet post since 1961, suffered a heart at- tack on June 12th and is presently recovering in a London hospital, but he is not expected to return to work for "quite some weeks". It is an accepted fact of provin- cial politics that, just as the at- torney general must be a lawyer, the agricultural minister must be a farmer, and spiculation at Queen's Park as to Stewart's suc- cessor has centred on three men — Enviroelmernt Minister William Newman, Robert Eaton, agricul- ture parliamentary assistant, and Lorne Henderson, from Lsmbtorn.
