alternate routing through the Town of Aurora.

on the Town of Aurora proposed by the Provincial Scheme.
3. One of the proposed alternatives to provide continued growth
shows trunk construction by 1980, another alternative is to
temporarily connect to the metro system at Leslie St.; a
further proposal suggests that the .staging of the sewer could
be revised for construction between 1975 and 1980. ·
In any event the Town would require further information on when it
is proposed that the present Town facilities could be financially
absorbed as part of the total operations scheme.

Councillor Davis on a point of priviledge raised the matter of a
newspaper report, which stated that a Developer had had discussions
behind closed doors.
Councillor Davis wished to state that this Developer wrote a letter
to the Council requesting a meeting with the Planning and Development
Committee and that the Developer's representatives attend the
meeting, which was carried out in a business like canner, and that
there was no hint of pressure on specific development plans put
forward for their property, and that the press report has certainly
not created a factual image of the discussion, between the Developers
representatives and the Committee of Council.
Miller: "Resolved that the meeting be adjou=ed. (9:15)H1"
