Ontario board hears Rubin and Sesto variance appeals in Lakeview
Ontario Municipal Board heard Rubin Corporation and Sesto Construction appeals for variances in Lakeview subdivision. Both were deemed minor by the board, which emphasized aesthetic impact over strict math. Rubin faced two lot variances on 163 and 164 with six inches and four feet six inch requirements. Sesto sought a 17 feet front or rear variance at 123 Elizabeth Drive, also deemed minor with focus on effect rather than precise dimensions.

Acton Commission Holds Rates Steady Amid Ontario Hydro Rise
Acton Hydro-Electric Commission voted unanimously to keep consumer power rates unchanged despite Ontario Hydro raising interim rates. Chairman Ted Tyler said the commission can absorb the six percent wholesale increase for 1968, with no consumer price hike. Ontario Hydro notes rising costs, higher money rates, and wage pressures as factors likely to push future consumer rates higher.
