told council she herself had been the object of some vicious rumors there was a rumor going around which said i spoke with two voices said mr macarthur her voice breaking several times she went on never would i give council and the township one word and uy something to the contrary to someone else commenting later on the decision to cancel her proposal mrs chaplin said she already has two more developments in the offing but she added they were not within the boundaries of halton county she defended her proposal saying mobile home cities such as hen were one solution mentioned lit the hellyer report on housing for ihe acute housing shortage today not trying to close beardmore co dear sir congratulations to councillor peter marks for having the gumption to at least jliempi to deal publicly with the pollution and odor problem thai permeates our homes however it is to be hoped that he will also have the gumption in the words ol his generation to tell it like it is every time this matter comes up the complainants are nude to feel guilty because if they push too hard the llueat is there either put up with it or beardmore and co will close their doors and the complainants wdl be responsible for throwing many people oul of work not once in the 11 years i have lived in acton have i ever heard anyone advocate removal of the tannery we have only asked that the odor problem be corrected the tannery receives the blame because that is whom we have been led to believe is the culprit the tannery has not denied this either in print or jo the delegation that presented a complaint to council some years ago however as a taxpayer i think that in as much at the factories spend much time and money improving their products for todays competitive market a little time and effort could be pent in research for a solution to a problem that disturbs a great many people after all this money is taxdeductible if the problem cannot be solved be honest ubout it and at least attempt lo stabilize the problem have certain days when we know we are going to gel the smell and days we know we will not surely council can understand thai when one is in the middle of entertaining or have left windows open on a hoi airless night that to be engulfed with the stench of burned dung and rotten eggs combined will dulurb the mental health of even the most reasonable person surely town pride should encourage the solving of the problem not the fostering of resentment between tannery workers and complainants belty almond 1 146 longfield rd acton benefactor lived here years ago few residents
