Bob Dykstra oppos- ed a proposai by the finance committee to tender ahl auto part purchases. The proposai however was passed by council. Cotnce.

TOWN COUNCIL TO HAYE PARKING ENFORCEMENT REVIEWED A recommendation from the finance committee con- cerning the enforcement of parking regulations within the Town of Newcastle was turned back to the committee for furtber discussion by council on Wednesday. Counc. Dykstra said lie was concerned over the cutting out of the meter maids who patrol Ori)nô and Newcastle. He questioned if there would be a constant patrol in these two centres on busy days. Mr. Larry Simpson, by-law enforcement officer, said the Regional Police would be looking after this matter and would act upon complaint and had been doing s0 recently. Counc. Dykatra said lie was not satisfied and asked if the police were going to check on a, system or on complaints only. He said he was concern- ed of the small amount of parking that exista in Orono and Newcastle downtown cores and could not support the taking off of their enforce- ment in these two centres. Counc.ý Dykstra who is not a mnember of the committee said he did not want to hold the matter up but said he was not satisfied with the propos- ed arrangements. Counc. Gray saia ne was also'opposed to the change and said that since the meter- maid came into the Village parking enforcement had neyer been enforced better. Couinc. Allin said. he had some c oncerns and that the Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce was opposed to some of' the proposals for Bowmanville. Mayor Rickard also said he had some concerns but they were of a personnel matter. Later he said lie could not see why two meter-maids were needed in Bowmanville with one on each side of the main street at the same time. Counc. Taylor said the finance committee had spent a lot of time on the recom- mendation and could not see any reason to hold the changes up. He said they were loosing money under.the present system. Counc. Allun was quick to point out that it was not a money matter to which Coun. Taylor referred. Taylor agreed it was not a money matter and saidhe was aware why they had parking regul- ations. The matter was referred back to committee, NE WTON VILLE WATE'RWORKS 7 Days aWeek Wells, Cis]terns, Pool and Lawns NE WTON VILLE 786-2381 G.
