Subdivision controls plus the ban on all building permits was brought into effect following the discovery of a Toronto business- man's sale of 390 building lots in the southern portion of the town- ship. The building lots are located on a farm, formerly owned by Bruce Dinner, near the village of Wesleyville. He sold the farm to Toronto businessman Walter Hooey, September 1 of this year. Between October 5 and 12 a total of 390 deeds were register- ed with the East Durham Regis- try Office in Port Hope, approxi- mately 45 by Toronto barrister and solicitor, J. Eric Young, and the balance by the original pur- chaser of the property, Mr. Hooey. The deeds were registered in the names of many different peo- ple who, Mr. Hooey has declared, had bought the building lots from him.
