C4 Controls on second hand stores New bylaw unfair say merchants Certain in the newlydrawn up Secood Hand Sore bylaw are unfair and accord to chants and more than a few Halloa Hills Because of this General CbtnniUee last week removed some and modi others before the bylaw was seat to council to be passed this week After lengthy discussion committee members agreed with Douglas Freeman owner of Second Hand in George town that the Town had no right to make a tore owner merchandise for days before it can be sold as requested by the Halloo Regional Police Freeman contended that if he goes out and buys worth or second hand goods be will lose a lot of money if he sell it for three Sometimes be even has buyers right away and would not be able to sell the item Regular stores do not have this to deal with The shop owner also argued with tbe by laws stipulation that the licensee must by of outstanding character Freeman pointed out that everyone has skeletons in their closet if one digs deep enough This was discrimina tory Committee agreed and took out the clause Freeman also took offense to the clause that no goods or merchandise shall be He point ed out there are some stores in town who have their items out and sometimes block the sidewalk Councillor Mike Arm strong pointed out this had been changed to read that the goods could not obstruct the sidewalk On the advice of Freeman committee decided to change the age the shop keeper can buy from from IB to IS years of age Freeman pointed out there ore a lot of people under 18 living together and sometimes things just don t work out for them and they sell their furniture Commit lee also agreed omit a clause that the store cannot purchase used goods from someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol Because it is redundant with the Sunday Closing Act and discriminatory against second hand stores councillors also did away with a clause that would prohibit this type of store from opening on Sundays Freeman said when be notified the Town about being open Sundays and when be first opened his business be was told It was a provincial matter When be c the Province he was told there were ex depending on the size of tbe store One clause that would prohibit him from picking up goods from sunset to sunrise caused Freeman some worry until commit tee assured him he could still go to homes if be was called but could not go door to door soliciting Bylaw enforcement officer Jack Lusty noted this clause has been in tor all tune and was designed to catch the rag and bone man Freeman said some of the clauses especi ally tbe part about keeping goods days was Just like a police state He noted that he keeps very good records on he buys Items from and sells them to In almost two years of operating the police have only come in twice to check goods or records and this was done with the complete cooperation of Freeman Dave Page representing the Georgetown labelled the day time period as an unnecessary and unwarranted Interference of business and pointed out there Is no other law which prohibits any other chant from selling their goods right away Show opens at House Sol Enamel paintings on copper and ceramic pieces

high fired porcelain and stoneware Both artists will be at House Sol Saturday afternoon There is no admission charge to the gallery To include this clause merely to assist the police Page noted was not the proper use of municipal powers The police already have access to all Freemans records If the police had found stolen properly In a second hand store then their argument would have some foundation However as of yet there Is no evidence he said It was pointed out used goods taken in by regular stores do not fall under the same laws as those primarily dealing with used goods Auctioneer Jim Forbes told committee members licensing second hand dealers should also mean licensing of garage sales He alleged there was more stolen property going through this type of sale than any place Lusty pointed out garage sales are a pro blem and the provincial government is look ing at a way to legislate them Mayor Pete pointed out Forbes waa asking for legislation on garage sales but less controls on second hand stores Which way do you want It he asked Forbes countered that he wanted the same laws for everyone Councillor Sheldon contended If the Town can help the police protect peoples property Ihey should help Forbes said the second hand stores already help Sheldon snot back that y may be honest but others may not be Councillor Phil Carney wanted to know how long it had been since the police had ap proached Forbes After he was told six months ago Carney noted that if the police had not come around for six months they werent going to In days Although he also thinks the waiting period is unfair was annoyed at a state ment made by Forbes that the police never did anything for him the police were trying to help recover stolen property and that is why they wanted the day hold He pointed out in the past few years the Halton police have steadily proved and are now one of the best forces in Canada and he objected to the statements they are not helping Committee members requested a member of the Halton Regional Police be on hand for the council meeting this week to answer any questions about the bylaw before il was made official EH The MBRtdpsflty Tender Cleaning A
