Sunday Town say is no to liquor permits for Yugoslavs for second time For the second lime this spring Halton Hills councillors have turned thumbs down on liquor permit requests for the Yugoslav Centre and noise concerns is the reason Yugoslav official Nick Cajic asked for permits for July 1 and August 12 and promised to hire police to monitor noise on the Third Line front gate and at the band stand said he needed a chance to see if there is really a noise problem or if neigh arc just complaining and hoping the Yugoslavs will leave After his request was rejected he said the picnics will go ahead without the liquor permits He indicated he incentive to keep the noise down is gone and council isnt giving them a fair chance to prove them selves Cajic told council in the past two summers there been as much of a noise problem as the first year the centre operated He explained they need loud speakers for the government officials coming to speak at the centre as well as for the band Some noise

court so they could prove the neighbors are complaining for the sake of complain but noise charges were dropped when a police officer failed to show up to give evidence He admitted there are many groups in volved with the centre and he had advised members not come seeking permits but they went ahead and came to council several weeks ago He asked that council not approve liquor permits for anyone con nected with the centre except himself or anyone he authorizes to apply Mayor Miller observed the big problem with the noise is the music He recalled going to the Third Line twice in the past and not being able to carry on a con versation with a taxpayer in his backyard because or the noise from the Yugoslav Centre The neighbors aren t being unreal istic in their complaints Miller added Neighbor Mark Hewitt recalled there was noise last summer and Councillor Ross Knechtcl had come down to the area once and agreed the noise was loud later confirmed this He said there was no reason why anyone should have to put up with the noise he heard Hewitt said in light of past problems surely council had no faith in the Yugoslavs to control the noise and wouldnt grant a permit He said the permits and noise were reated However the neighbors could accept the Yugoslavs receiving liquor permits but only If no loud speakers were used Councillors Phil Carney and Mike Arm strong reiterated earlier arguments that council wasnt attacking the right problem the noise Armstrong said by denying the liquor permits the Town was encouraging people to bring their own and break the law The noise bylaw should be enforced Carney Conditions attached to permits in the past such as no loud speakers hadn been followed Councillor Sheldon observed Enforcing the bylaw meant neighbors must still endure the no for a day and then nothing must go wrong In court she said Denying the permit was one way of telling the Yugoslavs enough is enough Sheldon and Councillor Dave Whiting both rejected the notion that council was en aging the Yugoslavs to bring liquor to the picnics and break the law Armstrong said by denying the permit the Town was headache for an upset stomach He added he go to the picnics to see how bad the noise is for himself Council hasnt been able to control the noise through the courts and hadnt offered not use loud speakers so the permits had to be denied Whiting said Cajic suggested the neighbors help pay for police to determine if there is a noise problem He said the Yugoslavs came to a free country they are citizens taxpayers and they work so he has a hard time ex plaining to them why they have such problems here The Yugoslavs lack credibility as on organization Councillor John McDonald observed Theres been no progress by Yugoslavs in trying to buy equipment to control the noise Councillor Harry Levy noted Inside Nicaragua Wont to know more about the political military situation In Central America If so you won t want to miss Eldon Com fort

the use of water cooled conditioners may have lo be restricted in Aclon this summer if the weather is unusually dry Subject to regional approval next week authorization has been granted to impose summer water restrictions in the community should daily demand exceed the combined pumping capacity of municipal wells and if the shortfall cannot be accom modated by Actons reservoir The region plans to alert residents to the potential problem this month and next through newspaper advertisements and ut ility bill inserts has consul tan Is ready to search for new well water supplies In the area of the existing Fourth Lane well near Acton and is itself looking into bringing additional water from Peel region via Georgetown Until an additional soiree of potable wafer is found and made available public works director Bob Moore reported water restriction will be a reality in Ihe com Once It becomes apparent that existing water supplies cannot meet maximum day demand Moore said the region should restrict lawn watering to homes with odd and even numbers on alternate days If that measure falls to curb demands he added a total restriction or lawn watering must be imposed If further restrictions are required even car washing and air conditioning cooling would be prohibited Moores report to the public works committee states Moore said an unusually dry period this summer would require the region to try and balance lis reservoir supplies to meet any shortfall in pumping capacity from the wells The reservoir water is used for balancing storage emergency storage and fire protection and the taw requires that onethird of its capacity be retained for fire fighting purposes even during peak demand In past years we have been able to meet maximum day demand if the conditions are favorable if the coming summer months ore not unusually dry If here are no major equipment failures and if residents of Acton continue to show vol untary restraint in Ihe usage of water as they appear lo have done in Moore reported We are optimistic that Ihe reservoir balancing action will contain the problem However should water restrictions be required the regional chairman public
