a poor attitude towards mr heslop william copeland arietta st mid he was speaking for friends on his street in asking that a de cision not be rushed citizens should have an opportunity to elate their wishes he said another new resident w r rus ell 30 swing sl said that in the jast few years there has been a contraction of industrial expan sion and that this should be con sidered by council la making a decision t hope this isnt going to de generate into a slanging session said ian cass 46 hewson cres mr cass thinks public opinion is against rushing a decision rather than against the proposal itself r s perry 6 shelley sl said nouses are bejng built behind his home and that if these are allow ed to be built why should the delrex houses be stopped if more houses mean more taxes why should anyone be al lowed to build he queried keith barber 9 king st r said there are many ratepayers like himself who don t know all the facts and would like the mat tcr placed before them so an opin ion can be formed he believes there are things council arent fure of either and said council is morally obligated to voters not to finalize the plan until more in formation has been provided the public another former councillor thomas l lons 51 edith street said if he were still in council he would take no stand but leave it tothc ratepayers to decide last spectator to speak was bruce peterson 19 mclntrc crcsc who said houses of lower standard had been erected in an r3 area jnd that while semidetached houses are attractive they do not conform with what is supposed to be there as council began their debate major armstrong said it is fine o sit nun r it j r in cr cd in town affairs and that it is a pitj more people do not attend dt her meetings where there might not be so major an issue but there is alwajs business of public lm portance council meetings are alwavs open and no ratepacr should say he isn t acquainted with a public matt i r if he attends meetings he said in twelvi cars on council i vc i never turned down anone in person or on the phone who wants to discuss town business the ma or said reminding people also that they arc welcome to come to council meetings and express their views whatever the outcome of the question might be the mayor said eight councillors would be v tinf to the best of their abilit and that this is how democracy works council discussion started when a motion was made by crs hyde and harrison that the by law not be read until it was placed before ratepayers for a vote no re corded vote was asked and the motion was lost when only cr llliott joined the movers m vot jng for it itecm sargent said he favours j iv ing the public all the informa t on they want and if people study thi facts he is sure they will sup p rt ihi delrex proposal if a vok were taken he wondered if people u luld take the intcrtst to study jii the facts if they didn t it w uld be an uninformed vote he fiartd cr harrison said a delay had bcin asked last week to get pro fessional advise and he had call ed town solicitor george hewson earlier in the week but could not reach him and talked to his as sociate mr ord who answered his questions briefly and said he would have mr hewson get in touch with him but he had never heard back the solicitor is here tonight and td like to know if everyone on council is entitled to his ser vices or just how it works cr harrison said i m here representing the peo ple whether they voted for me or not he continued and my know ledge isn t big enough to make a decision for them i want to hand it to the people to voice their opinion and surely a majority vote by 7 000 residents will give f i r i i f h it th want lr hyde said he agrees with the rxevt about giving the people facts only he wants to give them facts before a thing is done not after the reeve here interjected that cr hyde had misinterpreted ills rcftiai k 3 cr mcgiivray said he could sec no point in moving for a ratepa it vott whin 7a of ih s pr ent had indicated they didn t know what the question is all about such a vote would mean nothing he said cr harrison said his main ob jection is to the type of bouses planned and the quaidty i feel the public knew last december that this was caning it was discussed at nomination meet ing said cr syket- tve been placed here to use my judgment and if i turned this back to the people i might as well resign cr hyde argued that the pres ent proposal does not go back to last june as the june one was turned down three weeks ago plebiscites are allowed in munici pal law so people can voice opin ion he said and are not at unusual cr gunn said that in view of apprehension expressed by a good many ratepayers present it would be only fair to present facts to the public as fully as possible following the vote on the hyde- harrison motion there was a de ference of opinion between cr hyde and the mayor about a motion wfclch the councillor wish ed to make which would stop third reading of the bylaw that night the mayor said any such motion would be a negative one and said that opponents could get their point across only if motion for third reading was presented by voting against ll if there was no motion there would be no third reading and the matter would solve itself he said cr hyde said that he has legal opinion other than the town so licitors that a court order can be asked from a judge to quash the bylaw if third reading is op posed by onethird of the council i the solicitor referred to advised mr hyde that such an application j would have a good chance of sue- cess but that in any event the by faw could not go into effect until a decision was made by a judge if one third of tht council ii against third reading then we shouldn t havt it money by laws cant rtce vt three rtj i nts n one night and 1 m asking the same for this cr hde continued a motion was made at this stage by skes and sargent calling for two readings of the by law which pjsm on a recorded vote with hyde harrison and flliott voting ataintt it cr gray who had also voted against the proposal last week vot td in favour of the b law reading this time although not indicating what his final decision might be after a speech in which he re- n w d statements he had made a utek ago the future can be limited or hr adent lb i ut h ai i this is a long term investment and th uh int run 1 it f t mijht not be high the town may benefit by a wisely guided pro gram of expansion cr cray said he had opposed the plan last mondav because the ratio i t far apiil l it if hill ing is cut oil entirely he fears wh it mitht happen if delrex is allowed to proceed georgetown milht tunc al kinds of industry within three ears he thinks he remit ded council that expansion i alwas brings problems and that the town had to spend 300 000 for a water extension because of other libel i isions like sunbeim park v te w swanek and ci overdo le reeve sargent said he would not endorse a third reading at the meeting because he wants to hac the public in possession of all the information they want we have an off balance town now experts tell us and if we are no more successful in getting industry three years from now our balance is going to be 9010 oajly tinstone deluxe champion tubeless tires in safety uowoui none non rmctum moor quiutt itormng usui stiitinc 1 in pleasure uoullf raooi itlotmanct

satdj hyde this would be a terftnc hardship on taxpayers and present industries we have to go ahead certain ly he said but we have to go ahead sensibly cr harrison said if there were going to be 800 houses on the scale of mr heolops own he would be all in favour but he cannot favour the type of hous ing proposed on such a large scale j i think td be selling the town down the river if i voted for this he remarked in my years on council there have been many controversial matters and judgment shouldnt be clouded by personal issues said cr mcgiivray a town must have progress or stagnation he said and the town will best be served by allowing progress all subdivisions have cost the town money and delrex has put in their own services which is quite an advantage he said the decision is not a hasty one for delrex asked 500 semi detached houses last june he continued as for a tax rise bread cloth ing and everything else is going up so why shouldn t taxes he queried though stating that this wouldn t be fhe case this year as he hoped as finance chairman to propose a 2 mill reduction for 1958 i think the ratepayers know more than we give them credit for- said cr elliott if ratepay crs don t agree with this decision is there anything they can do other than submit a petition or ote us out of office next decem- bcr cr sykes spoke at some length as the debate ended we ve had ample time to look this over and i haven t yet heard monc say it isn t a good financial agreement he said the delrex firm has been here for three years and has brought sykes tool garnet building pro ducts and alrcx contracting- he said aside from this varian associates has been the only in dustn to locate here in 25 years and the town has had a couple leave georgetown has been for tunate in having the papcrmtlls and smith stone when indus trial life in a town la reckoned at ten rears according to statistics he continued industry will come and go when it wants to and we havent much control over that he said the delrex proposal is sensible he said jmd he feels it essential the development continue and everyone start boosting george town mr orr says it costs 100 to educate a child so with my four i guess im not paying my way but you cant segregate people that way he said or sykes said be was aorry to say that he believes some of the anudelrex feeling is caused by a certain resentment against a per son who has a lot of money and that people are speakjngv perhaps without thinking against then- town he reminded those present that industrial location sometimes depends on statements made by private dtitens and that adverse talk about town finances is not good particularly when it is not correct for georgetown has a lower tax rate than most of its neighbours directory dr j bum milne bental
