BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
Correspondence received by this office on August 27, 1984 from the Ministry
of the Solicitor General , Emergency Planning Department, regarding Line
Load Control measures, is being reviewed. A draft of the Line Load Control
(LLC) Directory is in the process of being compiled by the Fire Department
to forward to the Emergency Planning Office by November 1 , 1984. The LLC
Directory will also be included in the Municipal Emergency Plan, which is
nearing draft completion.
In formulating the Line Load Control Measures and the Emergency Plan, I have
been working with Mr. Dan Matthews, A/Staff Sergeant, Durham Region Police
Planner and have received assistance and information from J. L. Ellard, Deputy
Co-ordinator Emergency Planning of Ontario.
Line Load Control is a national program that will protect certain telephone
lines in case of emergency. In an emergency, telephone systems become over-

R. R. 1 . LOB 1JO '
i,
To the Mayor & Members of Council .
I would like to inform you of the neglected state of
the ditch between my house and Mr. Clarence Bray's house on the east
side of Solina Rd approximately z mile north of the 6th Concession
in Darlington Township.
This ditch has not been cleaned out for years. The ditch
is full of bull rushes, dirt, weeds, stagnant water, etc. The two
culverts crossing the road are almost completly blocked because of the
dirt washing down the ditch on the west side. This dirt has not only
blocked the culverts but has formed an island on the other side of '
the fence on Mr. FrankWestlake's property which blocks the flow of the
water from the ditch.
I have brought this matter to the attention of
Councillor's Bruce Taylor and Ann Cowman, who have reviewed this with
Mr. Dupuis & Mr. Dave Gray with no result.
I would now like you to direct whatever staff is required
to inspect & attend to this matter before the fall rains come & flood
us out.
Yours truly
k
James A Gordon
