Mrs. Copithorn said outside the chambers that while she has no concrete proof, she and her neigh- bours are convinced the company kept the noise down the day of the 'testing. The residents have been com- plaining sincé the Mother Jackson plant.expanded two years ago about what they call excessive noise' levels from fans, a boiler, garbage chutes and trucks that deliver flour and liquid air. Ward 2 rep Marilyn Pearce agreed with the delegation that "it does not sound like a fair. test and it was not a 'normal' day" (at the - plant) On the suggestion of Ward 4 rep Glenn Malcolm, council agreed Monday to Soin "sd hoc" committee to try to out the problems between the plant the Heath Cres. residents. ouncillors Malcolm, Pearce and Cochrane will be members of that committee. At one point during Monday's long and at times heated discus- sion on this issue, Heath Cres. res- ident Sharon Wiseman suggested ' that some council members are "intimidated by the Jackson name." She didn't name Mayor , Howard Hall but he has been involved from the start in meets*, ings between the residents and * company officials.

After the meeting the delgga- tion said the appointment of the neW® committee "is a pogitive step." J Ms. Copithorn said she's not sure whether re-testing for noise levels would accomplish any- thing. "We know there is noise (from the factory).
