received a letter informing them they were contravening the holding bylaw Reeve Tom Hill said council had not received a letter of complaint about the bowling but that it had been brought to their attention by a resident No change claimed bowling was taking place at the Gazzola property as early as I960 He suggested use of the land now is the same as it was then even though members of the club are now using the facilities He said the club has been a chartered social club since May of this year It not something we re starting new The thing was always kept up told council Reeve HIU Insisted

to come there the reeve pointed out Nadalin replied that members are charged to belong to the club not specifically for use of the bowling facilities He also said neighbors close by the property who

regulations whatsoever He said club representatives should have come to council after the original building burned down What number in the by law have we broken then Nadalln questioned The whole by
