"Oh yes, she was told by members of the assocîation, "there is a building inspector in tbe area, his name Is Mr. Chas.- War- rèii" Mrs. CoNWman then asked what were the qualifica- tions of this gentleman for being the building inspector? This question was answered. "Oh, because he has been building inspector in:the district for 20 years." The association in a press release, stated that this question seemed to Surprise most people assembfe d -at th e meeting . "Evidently, it had flot occurred to them before. " This reporter in reading the release was surprised that anyone would question the qualifications of a man who has been a building inspector for 20 years. What better ? ualifications, could you ask or? The question posed by the tenants of Liberty Court was "should a nameless Toronto ,developer be allowed to ex- pottenants, who are paying h~igh rent' and receiving so little in retura? " The following list of comn- plaints registered and unheed- ed were given: No renovations of any kind except those done by the tenants themselves at their own cost. No 'snow removal in winter. No land- scaping or grass cutting, except for those who exert themnselves to do it, which made littie difference to the units' appearance as there were of course unscree ned tenants, who were unconcern- ed about such niceties. There is no play ai-en for childi-en and little parking space pro- vided. The door locks are insufficient for security. Hydro and heating costs are exorbitant due to the fltmnsy structure of the buildings. There is no animal control at ahl. Cement slabs on outside entrance walks are loose and unstable. 1When the unit was new and the first tenants môdved in there were laundry facilities supplied. As these facilities deteriorated, tenants were told "they were responsible for the electric repairs to these services, to keep wash- ers and dryers in good working order. " t issaid that $600 worth of -repai7rs'- for' servicing, hasbeen paid for inclusive for. the tenants, at their own expense. The Ratepayers Association moved that the complaints of the tenants' petition of Liberty Court be forwarded to The Anespie, who graciouslymade a guest appearance and was most com plimentary in bis appreciation of the perf or- mance of the bands. At the conclusion of the program, a party and. dance was held in Zeschool cafete- r, concluding at midnight s0 that the guests would have an opportunity for a good rest before starting their return trip to Connecticut. 7 the Bowmianville comnmuný ity was honored to have a band of such high calibre perform- ing in our Hi gh School Auditorium.,Mr. Eric Oster- ling is to be complimented for the discipline and musical p erformance which is obvious- lythe result of good leadership and diligent practice,.
