jarbageAked Perhaps we are being unduly critical but it is getting a little tiresome to hear political figures bleat when there is a public outcry about a publie issue In this instance we are referring to the Department of Lnergy and Resources which has complained about the outcry when suspicion ol a dump site being established near a populated area is circulated Our Mr Clean George Kerr fold a Burhngton audience last week that the province may have to consider designing and operating central dump sites lor disposing of liquid industrial waste because garbage disposal is really reaching crisis proportions in tins part the province in another meeting in the south of the county Mr Kerr reportedly told a group of businessmen that residents ol North should not be too lusty turning away proposed garbage disposal plants like the one planned on a farm south of Acton He said rural areas should be prepared to handle the growing mounds of garbage from urban centres Processing the refuse in the city would cause heavy air pollution the minister told the businessmen have been assured the modern waste disposal plants arc models of cleanliness and there is little pollution Cities dont want them however because they would cause heavy air pollution Is it any wonder residents of the rural areas arc upset when there is suspicion of a waste disposal plant being established in their area The plants arc dirty enough to have cities give them the cold shoulder but they are good enough for the country folks There seems to be a double standard According to the plans advanced lor the commutcrshed around Toronto in the Design lor Development policy for this area is to retain it to the maximum degree in recreational agricultural and other open space uses It is difficult to square those words with the establishment of a waste disposal plant to handle the garbage and industrial waste from the large cities Residents the small towns and rural areas are going to have to be prepared to handle llicir own garbage and industrial waste but they bilk at being the of the province We wonder how the population in the south end of would react if Mr Kerr stood up in of a Georgetown or Acton audience and told them that Burlington and residents should not be disturbed because ol the establishment of a waste disposal plant to handle the garbage from the north end the county Council action We are glad to see there is some action on the pari council about development ol the industrial park According to discussion at last weeks meeting there has been a in specifications lor the park which originates in the engineers office Several councillors showed genuine concern about the progress of development urging pressure on the engineers to complete work so industries could locate on the acre property We agree with ouncillor Greer who stated it will soon be June all will be next and there still wont be anything done Several prospective industries are serious about locating in the industrial park If they keep getting put on paper they wont hesitate locate elsewhere Some communities are treating special inducements to attract industry The wooing sometimes includes tax concessions over a period of years something we dont agree with Induslry should pay its own way but should be made to make An attractive proposition lor interested companies Location is one thing we have going for us in Aclon an abundance of water and other services necessary for industry Attractive qualities ol a municipality are another magnet lor industry company officials live near the job they want a pleasant place with all the amenities Sometimes a community must invest a lew dollars to attract investment The returns in assessment will more than pay back
