month tee tor living in a trailer effective january 1 meanwhile council has been writing to 15 known trailerites and attempting to collect the current 10 a month fee from seven of them and a bylaw banning all trailers is being con sidered why dont we stop them from coming into the township at all reeve gordon leslie wondered as councillors passed the 920 flee bylaw monday the muni cipal act provides a section un der which a township can limit trailer dwellers to not more than 60 days in any 10 month period but did not seem to have a clause that completely bans them the 20 per month fee is the maxi mum fee under the act it was learned clerk k c lindsay said the 20 a month was pretty stiff as many homes in the township dont pay 9x40 a year in taxes on their permanent property councillors decided to give some more thought to the 60day limit in the meantime deputy clerk delmar french was urged jo get after anyone who hasnt paid their 910 fee this year and turn any delinquent
