ft A Water flows again in Brewery Creek i use as a winter skating rink. This idea matches the plans of the National Capital Commission which in the last few years has been acquiring land on both sides of the creek between Tache Boulevard and Montcalm Street. The NCC plans to develop the banks of the creek into a parkland area similar to the one along Ri-deau Canal. In addition, the east side of the creek has been designated by the federal government as the future site of the Museum of Science and Technology and Museum of Man. Although no date for developing the two museums has been set, the project is scheduled to materialize within the next 10 years.

The relocation of the two museums is to crown the federal government's massive redevelopment program in Hull which centres on relocating some 20,000 federal employees in downtown Hull. By Dan Karon Citizen naff writer iThe six-year-old drought for Hull's Brewery Creek is over. Hull municipal public works crews Tuesday opened the valves allowing the water to flow into the creek which divides the Island of Hull from the rest of the city. water was drained from the crek to allow the installation of regional sewer pipelines along its bed and for the construction of the Theatre de l'lle on the largest island in the creek. The return of the water flow, said rull municipal officials, also marks the beginning of a new era for the cfjeek.

The creek has become more of a nuisance than anything else, they sa3d, citing the fact it has been the scene of several drownings.

Greenberg told a meeting of the Association for Systems Management Tuesday he will definitely not seek the Liberal nomination in the riding of Ottawa Centre, largely because of the government's continued refusal to pay property taxes. ton Review Commission waste of taxpayer's money. study a The region's 1 1 municipalities Hull may amend pet bylaw Three people face 8 more prostitution-related charges Gougeon, who chaired the committee that drafted' the bylaw, said Tuesday that it wasn't their intention; to get powers which would infringe on civil rights. "Our objective is simply to control the pet problem; in the city," he said, adding "we were not trying to do-anything underhanded." Due to the strong stand taken by the Hull Bar Asso-' ciation and some complaints from local pet owners, he said, his committee will "review" the controversial clauses before the bylaw goes into effect." The bylaw, which limits Hull residents to own two dogs or cats is scheduled to go into effect May 26.

"Personally," said Sarrazin, I don't see how the rights of our residents are being compromised, but if the legal experts can show this to us, then we will certainly amend the bylaw." By Dan Karon Citizen staff writer Hull will consider amending its controversial pet control bylaw before it goes into effect, says Hull alderman Jean-Yves Gougeon. The bylaw approved by council last week has come in for sharp criticism from the Hull Bar Association which termed it "dangerous to civil rights." The main problem with the bylaw, says Hull baton-nier Jean-Claude Sarrazin, is a clause allowing police or animal control officers without a warrant to forcibly enter a private residence or property in the owner's absence to tranquillize or remove a noisy pet. "This is far too much power for the local authorities which exceeds normal police powers and therefore is a very dangerous precedeni." Eight more prostitution-related charges have been laid against three persons arrested in March in the operation of three escort services at a Cartier Street apartment. Edward Chomyshyn, 41, of 475 Elgin Josephus Lewis, 26, of RR 4, Kemptville and Charlotte Canadien, 23, of 67 Cartier St. were arraigned at a provincial court pro forma hearing Tuesday on two charges of procuring females for the purposes of prostitution.

"We're not looking for favors we just want an equitable contribution from the federal government." The mayor said the system of grants in lieu of taxes relegates the city to the level of a poor relative who has to take whatever is given. Local ratepayer are burdened with the cost of paying for the services the government enjoys.

Local taxpayers would also be hard hit by federal decentralization plans which would move 15,000 civil servants out of the city and leave 20 to 25 per cent of its office buildings empty by 1980, Greenberg said. "We haven't felt it yet, but in four or five years we're going to feel the crunch we'll have a complete halt in the development of new sources of revenue," he warned. "We already have a good part of the population people on fixed incomes, the aged and disabled who are finding it difficult to survive today." Turning his wrath to the provincial government, the mayor continued his attack on the white paper on local government released Monday. He said the province's failure to deal adequately with the problems of two-tier system of local government made the 1976 Ottawa-Carle- civic ties lying areas, eliminate some administration and make it easier to gather funds from the private sector. The hospital suggested an association with paid memberships could provide the community support for the institution and provide the base for an elected board of directors.

In return for the advantages, the hospital board saw few drawbacks. Board of control agreed, and it now appears to be merely a question of working out the details. formance bond was costing an additional $10,000 a month. City janitors make $5.25 an hour. This time board of control has passed over the controversy of rates for cleaning staff at least for the moment.

Instead of insisting on a rate of $4.25 an hour initially, it is offering contractors two options. They can bid on the cleaning contract paying whatever rate they wish to their staff, and they can bid using a minimum salary of $4.25. Greenberg said instructions were to have the tenders ready for a decision within 30 days. When the contract was awarded to Dominion High Rise late last year, the wage rates were the major area of discussion. Greenberg said board of control decided to call for new tenders on the theory contractors might be a bit hungrier now than last year, and the bids might be lower than last fall's second low bid.

Dominion had its contract pulled May I for failing to post a 10 per cent performance bond on the $944,000 contract.

Campbell is, in fact, a Glebe Collegiate student. "I told the Prime Minister I would consider federal politics on one condition that the government pays its full share of taxes to the City of Ottawa," said Greenberg. "The major employer in this city is a delinquent and the rascals are getting away with it." The federal government pays grants in lieu of taxes in all municipalities, but the policy means the loss of $30 million in revenues for Ottawa because of the heavy con- and abetting prostitution for gain by illegally controlling the actions of another person.

The trio were arrested in March after city police raided Tania's, Touch of Class and Playpen escort services. All three operated out of 67 Cartier apt. 606. At that time they were charged with conspiring to procure females for the purposes of prostitution. The new charges, laid May 5, stem back to September, 1977.
