t *-k A letter from a St. Cath- anine's businessmnan asking per- mission ta operate a "quick lunch service" in Bowmanville braught ta light the fact that Bowmanville has no licensing 'by-law for such transient trade and the question of why isn't there was asked. At the moment there are similiar quick lunch services operating in town from Oshawa and their only requirement is a five dollar pedlar's license. "It's high time they started paying," Coun .Wes Fice cam- rnented. "If we ever started we wouldn't knaw where ta stop," another councillor pointed out. It was suggcsted that bread trucks makîng home deliveries would certainly came under such a by-law and be subject ta a fee. Police Chief Eric Smith informed counicil that such a by-law would be legal as he has had experience with it. The matter was referrcd ta the police administration canui rnittee who xill bring in re- commendations. On recommendation of the Bowmanville Planning Board Town Council decided ta re- zone the Dadson propcrty at 151 Liberty Street from re- sidential ta commercial. Can- adian Petrofina Ltd. have an option on the land and are de- sirous of erecting a service station. On requcst of the Canadian Legion Branch, Bowmanville, the Legion Hall will be exempt fronu ail taxes except the sehool tax. B.H.S.
