if new bylaw is adopted.... Keptpigeons willno longer be welcorne Pigeons will no longer be welçome in the Town of Whitby. The operations com- mittee of Whitby Town Council is considering introducing a bylaw to prohibit the keeping of pigeons within the built- up areas of the town. On September 21, at 7:30 p.m., the commit- tee will hold a public meeting to hear suppor- tive or opposing views on the matter. According to town clerk Don McKay a number of complaints have been received regarding the keeping of pigeons with the built-up areas of the town. "A particular nuisan- ce and annoyance to residents living within the immediate area of pigeon coops are the droppings of these bir- ds," McKay stated in his report to the com- mittee. "As these birds are not confined to the properties of their owners, they naturally deposit the droppings in the neighbourhood area. This is a particular an- noyance to neigh- bouring property owners in residential areas where laundry, outdoor furniture, etc., is constantly soiled by these pigeon drop- pings." However, McKay ad- ded that to the best of the town's knowledge, there are only two resi- dents of the town keeping pigeons. "Although to the best of our knowledge there are only two persons keeping pigeons within built-up areas of the municipality at this time, the frequency of complaints from neigh- bouring residents has necessitated town staff to bring this matter "Summer I olidas" HS theme By MARGARET BEATH BHS Director "Summer Holidays" provided an appropriate theme for the flower show held by the Brooklin Hor- ticultural Society on August 22. Many members displayed the pick of their gardens in marigolds, gladioli and other annuals. Show winners were: Mary Housego for best specimen of show, prize donated by Brooklin Bulletin; best decorative prize in the form of a silver server and donated by the society, went to club president Valerie Hundert and an award donated by White Rose Nurseries for the best gladiolus, was given to a brand new member, Patricia Willis. Judge for the show was Ethel Benson of Thornhill, who did an admirable job. The society held its monthly meeting on Wednes- day, August 26 and was opened by the president who welcomed members and guests incluiding District 17 Director, Allan Foss. Congratulations were extended to the writer for bringing home some winning ribbons from a recent flower show held by the Trenton Horticultural Society. Hundert then announced that the society had recently been the recipient of an Achievement Award from the Town of Whitby for its contribution to the community and the plaque was proudly dis- played at the back of the hall. Margaret Davis introduced the speaker for the evening, Don Magee of Magee Marketgardens and Greenhouses and hie chose as his subject, "Planting Hot Beds and Cold Frames. " This gentleman spoke intelligently and with great enthusiasm and his audience responded accor- dingly. It was truly a pleasure to listen to someone who s0 obviously enjoys his chosen profession. John Jef- feries thanked the speaker, following which refresh- ments were served by Freda Kofalvi. The next meeting will be held on September 23, when Martha Veldhouls will speak on cacti culture.

In 1972, council passed a bylaw that prohibited the keeping of certain animals (for example, geese, cattie and goats) within the built.-uo areas of the town including Brooklin, Ashburn, Myrtle and Myrtie Station. "It was felt that the keeping of such animals was incompatible with the majority of land uses within these built- up areas," McKay said. "Likewise, at this time, it is recommended that council consider amen- ding Bylaw 869-72 (the regulation concerning geese, cattie and goats) to prohibit the keeping of pigeons within these built-up areas. " The clerk pointed out that if this regulation was adopted by council, those people presently keeping pigeons would have to give up their hobby and get rid of their birds. "In other words, the passing of such a bylaw would prohibit the keeping of pigeons within built-up areas, independent as to whether a property has been used for this pur- pose in the past or is presently being used for this purpose, " he said. McKay also told the committee that council has the authority under the Municipal Act to regulate the keeping of animals with the town, including birds. If this bylaw is passed pigeons presently residing in the Town of Whitby will have to find .q npw hnme. WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY.
