and unsafe con duct of hunters during the past fourday hunt Tele phone talis to the editor In did not result in him divulging the name of Ihe lie did however indicate the gen era area In which dents supposedly took Since only a small parly of us area In question and the com plaints as reported did not coincide with the events in this area during the deer hunt quest ions were posed Either the editor did not report on the com plaints received or he had been given erroneous in formation In an attempt to clarify the situation a letter was submitted detailing the accuracies of the reported It was assumed the editor in question a man of Integrity and many years experience had accurately reported the Information he has receiv As a result we pointed out questionable state ments which had appar been made lo the aforementioned editor Letters to the Editor The In this area is in Hie f rmrr fi strip proper I The plan call jl h time As of today only one lot sold The developer will not

controversy with respect to council s plans for new municipal complex Not having access to the details of council delib erations on the land acquisition it would be improper to comment other than to say there is a need for council lo conduct such business In camera I would like to say Its our money too taxpayer To ihe editor of The Herald Taxpayers will only be out the deposit Mayor says Is that why meetings about the proposed municipal complex were behind closed doors Why not in regular meetings so they would make the local papers In these limes when we are trying to look after our nickels and dimes to keep our heads above water its only net to mention costs for studies and surveys Mr Gillespie I m with you Put it to a vote It our money too Bruce Lewis Mountain view Road Georgetown however that I strongly support a decision to build and as a former member of council who had a new municipal com plcx In the past I would like to explain In the past my it ion resulted from the fact hat the official plan had not been completed and without Ihosc decisions dealing with population forecasts and urban it would not have been possible lo designate a location or design an appropriate building The Official Plan is now complete The municipal staff arc spread out at numerous locations and the council meets in a renovated smoke filled b The chosen by indicates an under standing hat a location within the boundaries of Georgetown would have reflected a disregard for our citizens in Acton and the rural area Council has Tor a bcr of years set aside funds for this very purpose and the approximately available will sub stantially reduce the re qui rem en to borrow The present economic situation will keen competition on building lenders that will result in the best possible price for the town Council should lake steps lo see that local business benefits as much as possible Our own is now nine years old and has passed the difficult yearsof consolidation The Itme Is right to move

hunters are cap able of or responsible enough use basic com good judge menl in the use or fire during the hunt In response last week a further letter was sub mitted by some individ who have Tor some lime attempted lo gain support lo prevent the local deer hunt The result has been only to further confuse and leave more unanswered questions A number of statements made are not entirely accurate or need further explanation to allow the reader to fully understand the situation The theme of the letter was basically public safety The inference was the public was placed in a dangerous position due to the deer hunters Several comments wen made lo support Ihls A statement suggests the caller was pointing out possible dangers The editorial indicated specific had taken place which construed as selling up a dangerous situation The Incidents quoted were not a true reflection of what took place in the area in quest ion during the was further stated houses are every 300 to feet apart Houses in the area range from less than feet to up 400 yards apart along the road What pointed out is that concession roads are approximately of a mile apart The land between concessions with the exception of
