Colton Gets Warning On Adirondack Fate By ELIZABETH NORTON GOUVERNEUR A Ver monter and his wife visited Colton recently to warn St. Lawrence County residents of the destructive side effects in velopers like Horizon Corp. come into rural areas to create resort playgrounds for the affluent. Mr. and Mrs.

Donald Stafford of Waitsfield, VL, described the problems experienced by the five towns in an area which large developers have made into a popular second home resort area for ski enthusiasts. The meeting at Colton, sponsored by Citizens to Save the Adirondack Park, was attended by about 80 per Waitsfield's ulation of 900 persons is blown to a population of 7,000 on winter weekends when skiers come to their second home ski lodges, the Stafford said. In the past seven years, City Firm To Provide Blower WATERTOWN The purchase of a snowblower to be used by the Department of Public Works in Watertown highlighted a discussion at the Watertown City Council meeting Monday night. The resolution to purchase the snowblower from SMI Inc. of Watertown, which was not the low bidder, was approved unanimously after discussion by Councilman Thomas Roe as to why The city was in a bind for the equipment.

The low bideer, Frink Snowplow, could not deliver the equipment for 120 days and SMI could deliver immediately. Roe in his comments said that he felt city departments were not anticipating their needs when a piece of equipment that is 20 years old and obsolete, which was approved in the city budget for replacement last May, was not advertised for bid until just recently. In other action the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city to rent a front end loader from the low bidder, Guy Marcinko, at the rate of $16.97 per hour. A zoning change application was received from F. Terry Morgia of 1319 Marra Drive to operate a used car lot at 595 Coffeen the present lo catiohn of the Teddy Bear ice cream stand.

The council sent this to the planning board for consideration. Councilman Tom Loftus said that he has heard a lot or questions as to what the city was going to do with its monies from the revenue sharing program. Loftus said his own hoDes are that the city can hold the line on the present tax rate and use the balance for capital improvements. James E. Brett, general chairman and grand marshal of next Sunday's city sponsored Christmas parade gave a breakdown to the council of the 30 units entered to date.

The parade will be at 2 p.m. Sunday. Deputy At Hospital OGDENSBURG Dr. Lee Hanes, director of St. Lawrence State Hospital, has announced the apointment of Dr.

The projected population for the area by 1985 is 50,000, a growth rate of 10 per cent compared to a normal growth rate of about 1.5 per cent for most communities, they said. The Waitsfield school budget has more than doubled in 10 years, from $106,748 in 1961 to $235,274 in 1971. All five of the towns in the ski area had to build new schools and more will be required as part time residents become permanent residents, they said.

State aid to the area has been cut in half because state aid is based on the wealth behind each child in the schools. "We now have 26 millionaires who own property in our area, with the result that the state now considers us a wealthy area," Stafford said. "Our area has the highest unemployment rate in the state of Vermont. But the state in the last 10 years has cut our aid from $18,250 in 1961 to $9,880 in 1971," Stafford said. "Because of seasonal homes, Waitsfield has added five law officers to its local force," Stafford said.

"We have two new state policemen stationed in town and three new deputy sheriffs. We need them to cope with the traffic, the rising crime rate, and serious drug problems we now he said. As a result of added expenses for police protection, school budgets, road maintenance and an increase in services to the new resort communities, taxes have gone up and food prices are higher, Stafford said. "At the height of the season meat is 30 cents a pound more in Waitsfield than it is in Parishville at the same time of year and you have to stand in line to get it," Stafford said. "Many of the old residents Colleges Eye Programs For Senior Citizens GOUVERNEUR Seven northern colleges took part in a meeting recently at Mater Die College in Ogdensburg to discuss what local colleges can do for the senior citizens of the area.

Property values have soared, he added, "This may be fine for those who come into the area, buy land and then sell it at a profit and leave, but it is tough on local people who cannot afford to buy land in their own home town anymore," he said. "It is the little guy who has lost," he said.

He commented that three grocery stores in Waitsfield are gone, replaced by large shopping centers. The owners of the small stores had once been in favor of the developments, "believing that they would increase their business," he noted. Smog and air pollution have increased in the five towns of the developed area, Stafford commented. "Raw sewage is now coming down the mountain in the ski area of Sugar Bush, he said. "The brooks are dead and there are no longer any trout to be found, or any other kind of fish for that matter," he declared.

Stafford praised the new Vermont environmental law which will restrict the kind of development that formerly was allowed in Vermont. "If you can, don't let the developers in," Stafford told those who attended the Colton Mrs. Stafford is a former St. Lawrence County resident, of Parishville. Her father, Sam Bloss, was once an Adirondack guide.

They offered to speak at the Colton meeting when they became alarmed that such large scale developers as Horizon Corp. were planning to create second home resorts in the Adi rondacks. Year round Shipping Seen Costly DETROIT (AP) Construction costs on the St. Lawrence Seaway might be the major obstacle to having year round shipping on the Great Lakes, according to a University of Wisconsin professor scheduled to speak at a Winter Navigation Board seminar next month. Eric Scheneker, professor of economics and associate director of the Center for Great Lakes Studies at UW, said in a paper to be read at the Dec.

5 6 seminar that construction costs on the seaway alone for a six week extension would cost $144 million five times the cost of a two week extension and twice the cost of a four week one. Another $10 million would be "spent, he said, on Coast Guard ice breaking activities during those six weeks. Scheneker's paper also said the hardest technical problem involved would be keeping the seaway free of ice while, at the same time, protecting hydroelectric plants from ice jams which reduce water flow.

New York State BPW; Frances Grif Prisoners' Sitdown Ended KINGSTON, Ont. (AP) A five day, sitdown protest by prisoners at Joyceville institution ended Monday when guards forced the men back into their cells. Warden C. W. Chitty said the decision was taken to end the protest because security facilities were being tampered with by some prisoners.

He said there was no resistance by the protesters, who were back in their cells by 7:30 a.m. The sitdown began last Tuesday night when prisoners refused to return to their cells or resume work duties. They remained in large, sealed off range areas. The demonstration was to protest the cancellation of a six month experiment to permit visits among prisoners. In a news release Sunday, prisoners said the cancellation of the open door policy "greatly retards an inmate's opportunity for rehabilitation." Prison officials said the experiment "generally lessened security" at the institution, although no specific regulations were violated.

21, 1972 Oneida Official Asks Tax Study UTICA (AP) Oneida County Executive William Bryant has called for the formation of a "Fleischmann type commission" to study tax reform in New York State and the shifting of financing for social services programs from state and local responsibility to the federal level. Bryant's proposals were made in a letter to Dr. Sal Prezioso, commissioner for the State Office of Local Government. Prezioso had asked local government officials to him their views on holding down the cost of local government. In his letter, released Monday, Bryant said, "What we need is tax reform that will remove the inequities of the present system and at the same time provide the funds necessary to carry on the effective governmental services and operations." He added that he flet there are too many different types of taxes in the state and that J.

Bryant, citing the fact that the social services budget makes up nearly 60 per cent of the Oneida County budget, urged the state to lead a campaign to get the federal government to assume funding of the welfare budget, rather than place a large share of the burden on local property owners. Bryant added in his letter that the "inevitable responsibility for holding down the cost of government rests with those who make policy decisions and enact legislation.

All too often the decisions and the legislation are motivated by political considerations and interests rather than for the good of the citizenry. And we will not see an effective battle mounted against the rising cost of government until such a manner of action is minimized." Arc a ieatlfs MRS.
