the georgetown herald eighteen pages georgetown oat wecucawky evening october 26th 1965 first section what council did rescind gasoline bylaw garages can stay open by a recorded vote five la fa xsour and lour against council rescin ded the ty law governing he closing hours for the tale of gasoline in serv lee stations in georgetown at tail monday night i meeting fred harrison and al zeravlev pre sented a atroag plea for action on their petition to repeal the by law which had been signed by rjddall mo tors harrison oarage ilouskjll s ca rage lincoln motors and ilody repair and doug woods for his sunoco serv ice station it was before the council for the third time last monday night and since there are 12 gasoline outlets ib town including bob lane who had notified the petitioners of his inten lion to discontinue his gas selling lie esse the petition represented better than the 33 and one tfilrd per rent majority required to be in agreement before council can deal with the re pealing of a by law there waa a lengthy debate on the merits of repealing the by law in re sponse to fred harrisons appeal that the rescinding gave garage operators a chance to operate their business in the most profitable way that is to say when the business is there he claimed the original by law regulat ing closing hours was passed in 1048 and outdated now mr al zrravlev who built his garage on what was at that time outside the town limits sta ted that when he was incorporated in the town and therefore restricted in hia hours of gasoline sales his busin ess revenue took a cut of 50 per cent cr d sargent said that he was frankly undecided becsuse it wit bu personal opinion that so per cent of the garage operators should be in fa vour of the change deputy reeve al norton aaid he had been making some inquiries and learned that there were do restrictions on hours of gasoline aale in brampton and that there are restrictions in hsmilton however he felt that the by law should be rrpesl ed because he pointed out there was bo delegation from those who did not sign the petition if the other aide had been interested theyd be st council with the deputation dep reeve norton said that he himself had to buy a lot of gas out of town be cause of the by law restriction and felt the local operators were losing business because of their hours of sale another point ill favour of re pealing the by law he felt waa that longer hours of sale might necessit te hiring another man to keep the as stations open and that in turn would create more jobs for men in town cr noble ssid his msin concern was what the public would want the council to do in this respect he poin ted out that l is much essier to re peal a bylaw than to put one into force again since the by law was in fore when mr harrison started his business and the majority of opera tors were not in favour and also since he had never heard any complaints from the public in respect to the hours of tsle for gssollne he eotdd not be in favour of the repeal of the fay law cr gray wondered why the matter eouldnt be threshed out among the garage operators themselves through their association however he voiced his support of mr harrisons petition cr mecilvray he believed the majority of garage operators wished the by law to remain in force and therefore eouldnt support the motion to rescind it he called for a recorded vote on the issue reeve stan allen stated that he be lleved it a necessity to keep service stations open longer hours the pub lic wants it reeve allen said further i believe if the motion is defeated it will drive gasoline business out of town we owe it to the business men on the highway especially who lose by the closing hours bylaw to repeal il mayor armstrong although i am sympathetic to the repeal of the by law in order to let people make mon ey as they see fit yet it is the duty of council to try to interpret the wish es of the majority i am sorry the petition does not represent 80 per cent or over of tho businessmen in volved if it had i would certainly vote for the repeal of the bylaw since however the petition does not i signify the wish of the majority we lwould be asking tor trouble if we al- inowed the bylaw lo be repealed i i believe that aometime in the future 1 you will be able to get t so per cent wajorlty to sign such a petition therefore i have to be opposed to the motion at the present time the recorded vote showed norton tjrtale gray sargent and allen in favour of repealing the bylaw and armstrong meguvrey lyon and no- l ble l gafast t its james goodlet was appointed i till
