MPP Presents Special Plaque to Foresters The Price IsL Wron? Cittee Debates $2 Whoever said you can't get any value for your dollar these days hasn't heard about Bowmanville's parking fines. At a time when wages and prices are increasing, choco- late bars cost more and people are keeping their coffee under lock and key, the parking fine in Bowmanville is still only one dollar. Apparently it has been that way for 10 or 15 years. The Town of Newcastle finance committe learned Monday afternoon that a parking by-law passed by the town last May actually raises the fine to two dollars. But, Town Clerk Joe Mc- Dlroy pointed out that the two dollar fine has not been enforced and delinquent motorists who won't feed the parking meters still pay one dollar for their offence. Mr. Mcllroy said that the town should either amend the by-law and bring the fine back to one dollar or else start to enforce the two dollar fine. Discussion over which course of action the commit- tee should follow sparked a rather lengthy debate. Finance committee chair- man, Don Allin said that it was his personal opinion that the fine should remain at one dollar. He said that hiking the fine could result in a lot of antagonism and resentment and he added that it could be bad for downtown business- es. "A lot of people can go to shopping centres and park for nothing," Çouncillor Allin noted. Mayor Rickard suggested, however, that many people think they are ahead of the game by paying a one dollar fine every once in a while instead of paying the traffic meter. He noted that at the present time it pays people to violate parking regulations because they probably won't get caught one time in ten. Councillor Ted Woodyard said that there are few towns he knows of where a one dollar fine is in force. He said other towns have higher fines and he suggested that the town should check with nearby municipal- ities to see what are charging in the way of parking fines. The committee finally de- cided that this was the best course of action. A motion by Councillor Bob Dykstra states that the matter will be tabled until the clerk can investigate parking fines in other municipalities and bring back a report. It was also suggested that council should discuss the impact of a $2 parking fine with Bowmanville's Chamber of Commerce.

This, of course, is not the cas'e becauýe Wintario tickets are available from many merchants in the town and not just the three we mentioned in the article last week. Dr. Keith W.

The buildings would be located in works department depots in Hampton and Bow- manville, according to a report from Jack Dunham, director of public works. The proposed includes a four-day addition to the Hampton works garage plus a salt storage shed in the Bowmanville works depart- ment yards on Liberty St. The estimated cost of the Hampton addition would be $98,560.; In its first meeting of 1977, the workstcommittee voted last Thursday to recommend that council include the money needed for the projects in the 1977 budget. Talking about the need for more space, Works Director Dunham said something has to be done because the department is becoming over- crowded, "If you're overcrowded you're inefficient," he stated.
