much government control at s time Date Whiting who choired the special sub committee which prepared the draft of the bylaw with bylaw enforcement officer Jack Lusty said that the Acton feelings are similar to those held by the Acton Chamber Either the groups t read the bylaw closely enough or do not understand Its contents Whiting said specula that criticism from Acton businessmen may stem from a concern that the bylaw could be expanded to Include their businesses It the silliest letter I ve seen In nine yean council Mike Armstrong It s nonsense Coun Harry Levy called the letter stressing

Residents living beside campgrounds should not have look at tents and trailers backed up to their property lines he added Mr Elliot also claimed that at least one event earlier this summer allegedly caused a noise problem and he said here should be no need for loud speakers and a public address system at the campground A number of councillors argued that the bylaw lotions regarding camp grounds may be too severe considering he standards adhered to by provincial operations Coun Booth po ntcd out that the 200foot buffer would cut down on the amount of acreage the campground owner for trailer space Eventually you reduce the campground to he sold It will look rid with just a 100foot p running down the middle of It Pelc Mr Ell that any new campground proposals are subject to a public process
