4;Ce - t- fi t, ,-~; 2 'Various -Parking Lots Discussed by- Clwmber The possibility 'of establishing a public parking lot in an area at the rear afi Breslin's Men'& Wear Store, the Carter Family Tee Room, the A & P Store and S. G. Chartren's Men's Wear Store was discussed at the May meeting of the Chamber ai Com- merce, Monday the 16th. ,A. H. Sturrock, a. member of the Transportation and ParkingR Cammittee, stated that hie had taiked with Mrs. Walter Oke, owner af the property at the rear of Breslin's Store, and she was in favor af his suggestion that a garage on the premises be torn down and the land used for -a public parking lot, and would take the matter up with her sons. He also stated that the manager ai the A & P Store was ia favor af establishing a park- ing lot in back ai these stores and would co-operate with the Chamber. Mr. Sturrack estiniat! ed thet 30 or mare cars could be parked on the proposed lot. SHe said he had written ta Alla Knight ai Detroit and his Oister, who are landiords ai saine ai the other properties concemned, esking their ca-opera- tion in establishing the parking lot. One abjection ta this pro- posed parking lot, Clarence ilockin said, wes that he had been informed et the Town Hall that bath entrances ta the pro- poscd lot - the lanewey between Ureslin's store and Carter's Bakery, and the tunnel on Tem- perance Street - are private and ,pould possibly be ciosed by their ýpwners at any turne. Second Lot Diseussed Mr. Sturrock also reported there was a Possibility ai a small parking lot for 12 cars at the r7ear ai Cawker's graceterie. Mr. Caýwker owns e brick building and an adjoining shed fronting on the lane et the rear ai his store froin which he is not oh- taining much revenue, Mr. Stur- rock said. If these were torn down about 12 cars could bei b' 1~ 4 Il I. t: *1~ I t, t i. * s. i. - T t h i., il - n.

Ronald Sh aw, President ai Spcciaity Paper Products Ltd., 9stated that he feit the parking and transportation committee *was on the wrong track telking about 30-car and 12-car parking lots when bis firin bas offered the Chamber the use ai a space et the rear ai their building Lwhich will park 100 cars. He tstated that a bulldozer couid fi la the cellar on which the. car lot would be esteblished, inaa day. Ail thea wouid be needed then would be a fence between the lot and the Specialty Paper Products and the H.E.P.C. yard. President Elmer Banting feit that it would detract froma the1 coavenience ai the lot if theg fence were put up, siace shop-1 pers using the lot couid nat go1 across the Hydro yard and out1 onto Temperence St. TheyE would be forced ta welk ail the1 way around ta Wellington St.t with their parcels ta get ta the1 lot. Might Be Objections Mr. Shaw wondered whether the H.E.P.C. wouid nat abject ta people using the parking lott weiking thmaugh their yard wheme their tmucks are parked and there is equipmnt iying about. As fer as the fence be- t tween the Specialty Paper Pro-1 ducts building and the parking ( lot was concerned, he seid, thisf would serve anly as a dividings line. "We have ebsolutely noy plans for the property an which;. the lot would be located et then present time," he said. He elsou painted out that with the erec- f tion ai the new Post Office therea would be more shoppers coming r up Temperance St. for their c mail, which would make this Now, I've neyer stood an ceremony when it came to food and drink, I've always made my meals of" things'that keep me fit and in the "pink."

President Banting asked X 'Sturrock if there was any poç ta the parking lot from Churc Street past the pumplng atatio: and the water tank. He replie that he had discussed this wit Reeve Sidney Little, who said j would' iean taking down spruce .tree, and lie did flot be lieve the P.U.C. would approv, of that. Presidenft Banting asked Agr ricuiture Chairnian W. E~ Brown whether the fariner seéiýied interested in a fariner' market ini town. He pointed' ou that Mr. 'Shaw had suggesteg that the proposed parking.. I at the rear of hisfactory woulc be *a good location for à farm. ers' 'market on Saturday an( could be used for parking durini the week. Mr. Brown replied that an3 farmlers he had talked to hac been lukewarm, on the subjeci of a produce market. Mr. Stur. rock stated that at a meeting lie had had with the Ebenezer Farir. Forum,4 Charlie Rundie hac pointed out that many of the Durham farmers are dairy farin. ers rather than trtxck gardeners Pat Yeo stated that as soon aç the vegetables froin private gardens corne into use in the summer there is less demand for fresh vegetables. "A lot af them are handed over the back fence ta the neighbors too," hE said. In vicw of these facts, Presi- dent Banting suggested that the Chamber let the màtter of a farmers' produce market ride until the fali, et least. Stili Some Dlrty Spots Mr. Sturrock reported that the "Clean-up, Paint-up and Plant-up" campaign of the Chamber had been quite success- fui, but that there were still several "'real dirty spots." "If you sec one of these spots, go ta the owner and ask him in a nice way to dlean it up," hie urged. The raads and streets foreman has been asked ta look after the emptying of the waste receptacles put out by the chamber, he said. The Recreation and.,Beauti- fication Chairman also reportcd that he had spoken ta a sign painter about painting the Chamber sign on the door ta the offices and he had oifered ta paint the naine and Chamber crest an the door for $12, and the naine only for $3.00. Mem- bers decided that the Chamber name was sufficient. He stated that Lloyd Preston vould determine how much of the ceiling af the two Chamber offices needed to be plastered and also what colours should be used ta decorate thein. This natter was left ta the commit- te made up af Mr. Preston, Mr. Sturrock and Don Morris; an~d Mel Dale was added ta it. There was saine discussion on whethcr a card or a letter-type f notice should be used ta notlfy members af general meet- igs, and this was lcft wîth the executive. Membérship 'Chairman Art [ooper reported that he had the 1955 Chamber menibership cards igned by Secretary Keith. La- lingue. He has also made up .ards for, those who will be col- ecting membership fées, giving ;e scale for different types of )usinesses and industries. These age from $2.00 for an individ- ia member ta $150 for an in- lustry with froin 500 ta 1,000 !nployees. He and his commit- ee inembers have begun col- ecting the 1955 Chan-ber mem- rship fées, he said. Recemies G'M '25-Year' i John H.
