had an ongoing saga con wrecking yards in this com for some five years or more Mr Lusty said Over the wove found the bylaw we vc enacted has some limes been a bit ludicrous in interpretation The changes he proposes are to make ihe bylaw a little more en Mr Lusty told general committee members Council approved the amendments The bylaw states hours of opera tent of council was those hours fordoing business Surely we don t want to slop the person from doing his books or maintenance work on his vehicle or stocking his shelves Mr Lusty said The bylaw change will emphasize hat as long as Ihe wrecking yard open to the public for business after the set hours of operation the town has no problem with them As for the definition of inoperable motor vehicles the bylaw enforce ment officer
