ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 4th, 1968 ORONO W EEKLY TIMES <AutbrizeU4 as Second Class mail, Post Office Departmnt, Ottawa) Pu.blished every Thursday at the office a£ pumbicatiop Main SLreet, Phone 109, Orono, Ontario Esýtablished in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Roy C. Forrester - Edctor and Manager Restrictions Necessary The Township of Clarke now appears to be taking a positive step towards one area of planning. The passing of the interim by-law on Tuesday, which in effect freezes al hew building and construction along with prohibiting the cha nge, of use of land in the, municipality places the Township in the position that they must now take definite action !I devising a land-use or zoning by-law. Although the înterim by-law may not be a popular one, especially in the spring of the year, it is a necessary step and a logical one. A lessoùn was certainly learned by the TFownship) during the period they toyed with a sub-division control by-law. During the three month period in whîch it held in the balance, close to four hundred building 'lots were created in the Township with no restriction or plan. The present interim by-law will eliminate any abuses of a nature which coutcil intends to cure. Th e purpose for the upcoming land-use or zoning by-law is to give the municipality control over its develop- ment. At present it is runhing amok' with farms being sliced into 10 acre lots and strîp development in ail areas, a common ,accurrence. This is hardly an asset to Clarke -Township. 0f course the mere fact that a land-use by-law is being prepared is of littie consequence if it is a watered- down document. The former two land-use by-laws controlled very little from their conteùnts even if theyT were legal. The Township bas had néd of a clearly defined policy in plan- ning and it is to be hoped that the upcýoming by-law will' advance such a policy. The die is now cast and to go- onward and speedily! there is really only one way Goofed Through a misunderstandilng we recently reported that it was taking over two heurs for somne students to be bused home from sehool. This was incorrect as the "two hour figure" was for bus 'travel both to and from sehool. Both the bus driver and parent have made note of this error. What Others Say' A SiUN 0F THE'TIMES The end of the government subsidy programn for sugar beet gr.owers in Western Ontarjo can only bce of ben- efit to the people of Canada as a whole. Whiie it is un- fortunate that a $4,000,000 crop is, sou to speak, to disappear, doubtless the farmers will be able to grow something else instead ýof sugar beets, band haîf the four million was federal go(vern1Men1t subsîýdy ahyway. The time lias past - if indeed for Canada it was ever here - when we shouild try to be self-sufficient in the growing of ah kinds of food. If cane sugar from the Carib- bean can undersell beet sugar produced here, then we should buy cane sugar from the Caribbean. To take the op- posite view would be the saine as to say that we should grow eitrus fruits i greenhouses, regardless of the extra expens.e, and then issue, consumer subsidies, or erect tar- iff barriers against oranges amd lemons from the South. As the world moves toward free trade ýeach couttry will be devoting its energies more and more to producing what it is.best at producing. This should apply to agricul- tural products as well as to manufactures. If protective tariffs are progressively reduced, then by the saine token agricultural subsidies should bc reduced 'too. Though it will take a long time, ahid the goal may be an impossible one, at least there should be an attempt to let ail commodi- ties reach their own price klvels. based on competition and demaand. The de-mise of the Ontario sugar beet industry is one sign of the trnes. We must be prepared to see other un- economical enterprises disappear, unless their- continuied existence is directly related to the security of the'-country. "Freeze" Pleiaed On Ladd And The Council of the Township of Clarke gave three readings toaa by-law ob Tuesday which in effeet regulates the uise of land and the erection aid tuse of buildings and structures within the Town.- shipý. The by-law lias the effect of freezing land 'to its present use and prohibits the erection of any new building >other than those ai- ready approved by the Building ITnspector. The by-law is an interim by- law to be In, force until a com- prehensive zoning by-law is pre- pared and adopted. The provisions of the by-law apply toail lands withit the mun- icipality of the Township of Clarke. Under the ýconditions no land or buildings or structures shall be used for any purpose other than the use existihg for such land, building or structure on the date of the passing of thé b)y-law No building or structure shal be erected or altered and no chatige or use in any building, lot or premises shah be made except unless the plans for sucli erec- tion, alteration or changr, in uise have, prior to the day of passing of the by-law, been approved by. the Building Iùspector. onaly 61.69 STUTT'S Pharraacy --The Port Hope Guide Orono, Ont.
