The majorfty of septic systems are also approaching the expec- ted lifespan of such systems and additional problems are anticipa- ted. According to a staff report pre- pared for council's planning and deveiopnient committee Monday, a number of private and comn- munal solutions were evaiuated for their effectiveness.

Town plans pur-vchase of aotherbus By Trudie Zavadovics Town oparations committee on Monday night recommended the e urchase of a new bus for WVhitby The recommendation was made oniy moments before coin- mittee recommended a decrease in Saturday bus service on four of six Witby bus routes. Service every 60 minutes would replace 30-minute service. The low-bid tender from Ontario Bus Industries was recommended, te supply and dehiver a 40-foot transit coach at a cost of $217,363 (gooda and services tai inciuded). The new bus wouid service a route not affected by the Satur- day cutbacks. The new bus wouid implement expanded service to the indus- triai area around Burnis St. te Port Witby and south aiong Vic- toria St. Councillor Marcel Brunelie asked if a bus couid be found within the eisting area te ser- vice that route. And comnittee chairman Joe Buaeili questioned Joyce Marshall, resident and businessi recently installed as president of the. Business & Professioni Club.

Staff answered no on both counts. Councillor Tom Edwards stressed to comnittee that in order te attract people te the transit servces, sufficient equip- ment was necessary. "We have been striving te pro- vide a bus service te at ieast reach. the provinciai norms,» said Edwards. «Unless we cari try the s stem out and attplet ein te indiustriai oteweire neyer gonto gt the systemi goin.

To compensate for the decrease ithe ridershi that was oni- ginally projecte for the Whitby transit system, staff suggested the cutback in Saturday bus ser- vice.

This would cut revenues by about $35,000. The report aiso indicated a rise ini June ridership and speculated that the decrease experienced in May couid just be a temporary setback. The only rouýtes safe from the proposed service cutbacks are the routes which serve Brock St. N. and Brock St. S., and Dundas St. E. and Dundas St. W. The report says that the two routes' have the highest traffle and service the downtown area and the GO train traffic.

LuJ OU BUINESS*~ Clear priorities guie ce oftime management -aids Irrepiaceabie, non-renewabie, and limited. Tume is a businessperson's mot impotn resource. An array of ime management technology can multiply the benefits of a iise approach te using tme -- or compound the waste of a flawed approach. The bottom lime in tume management -- making the best use of your tume -- is cômmon sense. You must flrst astablish your business priorities before you aven choose the tools you need, let ainne apply them. 'Tour native intelligence is your best tool," says management consultant Harvey Wolfe. "If you first don't apply that, you invoke the principle of garbagai, garbage out." Once you have carefully olanned your priorities, you cari begin keeping track of their progress with everything from diaries te computers. The basic tixne management tooi is a multipurpose diary-calendar or two - one for the office and another te carry with you. It allows you te plan efficient use of your time and te keep a record of events as they occur. But with two diaries, you must remember to kaep bath up te date or youMl have probiems. A good diary viii include: a two-page entxy par day, with "ve just been golng over ypur diary-calendar. The way things are Iooking, yau'iI have littie tiffe ta sleep, eat, or anything else until ewly October!" appointment times markad out at least houniy; a long-range planning section; mileage and exasscol n; a things-te-do listng and cross referencing. For smali .1businesses computers and their *arrayoi software can be seen as an "adjunct" te efficient diary use, says Wolfe. "Computers invoive more turne and effort, but they a]low for easier expansion of plans and scheduling and wider accessibility." They aise make it easy te coordingte and keep track of a number of people's schedules. Realistic business prionities and expectations will alse detenmine your best choice of software -- computer prograins -- from the. staggering variety available. Most prograins specialize in turne billing, scheduling, financial projections, or compiax project management. Billing programs are best for lawyers, accountants, consultants in varieus fields, filtime tuters, private. editors, and other specialists who charge according te the time they spend on their clients' work. Busy medical offices, beauty salons, reai estate firms, taxi and limousine compaus. r travel agendaes are among the health and service businesses that could benefit from a schaduling program. The operatuve word is Progama that provide spreadheets and other aids te financiai projections cari provide someone in almnost any business with possible patterns of future growth. Baides baing of direct interest te yeu or yeur clients, projections are essentiai when dealing with the business finances. Most complex are critucal path management porgrarns.
