Need Acton car Georgetown Acton Wednesday Feb 1963 There ahottld be a car pound in Acton damaged Id arent towed to Georgetown Councillor Rick Bonaette says Monday night Bonnette presented a letter to every councillor from the owner of Hills Collision at Crewsons Corners complaining about the car pound being In Georgetown Bonnette asked Mayor Peter Poroeroy to take the problem to Police Commission- There is no longer a car pound in Acton where Regional Police have vehicles towed to and not many people know about this problem the rookie Acton councillor explained He said he respected the job done by the police but thought it was wrong for Acton vehicles to be towed to Georgetown He explained insurance ad justers and appraisers come to Acton and find the car isnt in Acton but in Georgetown so they charge extra time and mileage Acton doesnt have any appraisers or adjusters Bonnette noted In addition he said Insurance companies encourage drivers to have their vehicles repaired in George town rather than have the car towed back to Acton which is hurting Acton auto body businesses If vehicles are towed back to Acton for repairs the extra towing cost as well as adjusters and addi tional costs for going to George town is reflected in higher Insurance premiums said he had no problem taking the issue up at Police Commission but didnt hold out hope for having it recti fled He noted the region calls tenders for the police towing contract for the police depart ment and he was there when the tenders were opened Achilles Motors used to have the con tract for police towing in Hills but wasnt the low bidder the Ian time and lost it to Fred Tolton in Georgetown Pomeroy warned having pounds In both urban areas might increase costs so there would have to be negotiations He said hed report back to Bonnette and the Acton auto body shop owner Bonnette branded the arrangement another flaw in regional government was visibly annoyed at that remark and said the tender process is used to get the best price and it was all very fair If the towing contract had stayed with an Acton firm the mayor suggested wouldnt be complaining that the system wasnt fair to Georgetown Bonnette suggested it would be easier all the way around If there was a car compound In both Acton and Georgetown Don owner of Hills Collision wrote that he was concerned about business he was losing because the police pound is in Georgetown He said his chances of even submitting an estimate for repairs to a car involved in an accident in Acton was just about nil Insurance companies try to convince car owners there are competent shops in Georgetown which there are rather than have the vehicle towed back to Acton He noted he pays his taxes and it doesnt seem fair what politics can do to you
