I suggest we move s9ome ,of the public functions of govemment bok te, the heart of the county tewu, where the elderly and people without cars can walk te them.

Iun my experience the nuijority of landowners Zo live on their propertyr are very protective of its natural assets, trees included. Moot problems occur on property that le 'not owner-ocupid. We may need te adopt a tree- protection by-law that wll address these problems, but it mustu't be so repressive as te trample on the rights of ordinary citizens. Educating people about the benefits of treescapes and naturalization could go a long way toward solving the problein. Il. Wbat la your vision of the Whltby waterfrot? How impo"lnt i. public acces.

The Corbett Creek water pollution central plant is doublin in size -- and thereby doubli-ng its emnisions into Lake Ontario. Will the extension of the outiet pipe into the lake spread- sewage effluent farther afield? Have studies been doue to make sure our- beaches won't b. further degraded? 12.
