Fight To Keep Ottawa's Greenbelt Really Green-
I! JACK VAN DUSEN Canadian Press staff Writer OTTAWA ICPJ-City and fed-
eral officials are fighting to keep the capital's proposed green belt green.
The belt is a 30.500-acre strip. mostly rural and averaging two miles wide. rimming the city to the south beginning and ending on the Ottawa River which forms the capital": northern boundary.
Officials want to keep it free of housing developments but their hands are tied because Glou share the belt with the city. have refused to pass bylaws restricting construction in the area.
The city. through the Ottawa Planning Area Board, has refused permission for housing develop- ments in the belt. But in the case of six housing plans. involving 512 building lots. the Ontario Munic- ipal Board has over-ruled the plenum: area board because the belt has no legal status. FAVOR! EXPROPRIATION
The Federal District Commis- sion, federal agency whose aim is to beautify the larger national
liament reconveues in the fall be- fore it can get permission to start buying up green belt laud.
'I)ie FDC and the city want the area set aside as a reservoir of land for future expansion and to ensure that the capital won't have to Ipend huge amounts in future years for services-water. sewers and roads-to haphazardly-grown housing developments.
Ottawa's population is expected to reach about 600,000 by 1900 from today's 225.000. Water and sewer services are being planned to meet the needs of that popula- tion and greater growth would mean revamping of the plans at
can townships are reported to be in favor of the belt in principle. But its formal adoption by them in the form of wning bylaws would irk township taxpayers who are hoping for higher prices for their land.
The idea of the green belt, adopted 1n 1947. was to allow facu- ities like government buildings. hospitals. colleges. sports fields. airfields and institutions. which would not need extensive services. to be developed inside the belt when needed.
Of the beltls 38.50) acres. 2.000 are taken up by small communit- ies such as Bell's Corners and Ramsayvilie. and 0.000 are in wusate land. This leaves 30,500 acres capable of housing about 230.00) persons. Most of this is farm land at present.
The present view of the FDC' is that, if it could buy or expropriate the land, it would sell or rent the land back with the stipulation that it not be used for housing. Housing developments now in the area would he allowed to stand. but probably would be refused permis- sion to expand.

Canadian Press Staff Writer ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CPt - A three-man royal commission in- veatigatlng 2wewfoundiand's eco- nomic progress since it joined Canada eight years ago was told Monday the province has gone C5l.l37.0tl) in the hole by raising public services to their present level. ,
A 633-page brief submitted by Premiu Joseph Smallwood said the increase in net direct debt and guarantees from Confederation to March 31. 1957. amounted to 853.- lt2.tl)0.
Canada assumed 347,597,000 of Newfoundlantfa debts in 1949. leaving the province to pay a balance of about S4.000,000. At that which she retained under the terms of union, was 340,283,147. '
Since then Canada has provided an annual subsidy of 3lm.000; a second annual subsidy equal to 80 cents per head of population. which at that time was estimated to be about 350,000; and a third annual subsidy of Sl.000.000 to compensate for a sparse and scat- tered population and unfortunate geographical location. similar to a
mo.
NEEDS GRANT
P. J. Lewis. chairman of the commission that prepared the province's brief. said Newfound- land needs an annual federal grant of Si7.000.000 to keep public serv- ices at their present level.
Mr. Lewis, provincial minister without portfoilo. said Newfound- land requires 353,000,000 a year to maintain services and the prov- ince can raise only 336,000,000 without additional taxes.
The brief said it will take an annual federal grant of Sl00.000.000 to raise Newfoundiand's services

"At that time." he said, "we were quite incapable of forseeing the effect of Confederation on the province. We were trying to see through a solid wall. It was then that term 29 was written into the union."
The term provided for establish- ment of a royal commission to be appointed within eight years to re view the effects of union. The pre- sent commission was named by the federal government Feb. 22.
LOST REVENUE SOURCES
"Without term 29 no one would have signed the terms of union.
”When we joined Canada we lost S20.000.000 annually in cus- toms duties" as weil as other sources of revenue. "We wondered what we would have left. Some of Canada's greatest statisticians couldn't tell us."
Now after eight years of Con- federation "heroic efforts to raise the level of public services have taxed our people more than they should have been: spent all the surplus and forced us to borrow

"We eventually hope to test the whole country. as the provinces re- quest it." he said.
The work involves taking blood tests of cattle. Those found to be infected are destroyed and the farmer is compensated. His pre- mises must be cleaned and disin- fected to prevent spread of the disease.
