Lovekin1 re John and Yoko1 to b d la1 for their own Publicity aa . trie fj'ancial bc-rofit of 1Moport o- ', truly believe that this is hiý Y greatc. ,t, effort at raakiùng word: I-tirat do not make sease. 'Tbis sit- uclitron has nothing to do with ai] ýn levels of goverament and socioty. It is a homo-baked problem, and ocould become bitter hre'ad. In fais Pos itioa as legal adviser to the Council, of the 'Township tof Clarke, 1 would like to suggest *that Mr. Lovekia's time could bo much btter spent on. making an effort to remember (quote: why we bave ail that ]and planning legisiation). (i.e.) Land Use By- law No. 1653 - Page 12, Section 10 - Sub-section 10.3 - (b) in ad- dition to the uses referred to in Section 10.1 hereof those parts of Lots 33-34-35 - Conc.- 9 which are designated A-2 on Sehedule A may be used for the purposes of a racetrack for motor vehlicles D Eoes 'Mfr.' Lovekin believe that anyone should be ailowed to con- travenea Law for the purpose of mprvîngtirir own financial status? Could not CQuncil be ad- vised that their By-law may make a restraining order possible? or, faiiing that the promoters be re- quirod to post a bond committing themn to indemnify al daims for damnage to public and private property in Clarke, and adjoin- ing municipalities. The inference that the Immi- gration Departmcnt will ho inter- ested la Mosport on1 a July 4th weekend, that Provincial, Fedenal or Police power could hoc used before tIre area is in trouble, is either wisbful thinking, or' just plain malarkey.. Do es the good lawyer really believe tbat (quote: - no modern government 'stands back and lots private enterprise croate a bill of expenso?) That theony - suooeests that ]and, water- and air pollution beavesterdlayVand will ho cor- netdat 13o e b)ese o ire pub- lic. If tIre Council of Clarke is on top of this problem it is their duty to do everything la their power tQ provide protection and aliay tbe fearsof the residents of this and ahutting muaicipalities, and to make the results of their efforts public at the earliest Pos- sible moment. To the residents of this munici- pality, you cannot expeet those whom you elected, to oporate suc- cessfully without ovory kind of support you inay ho able to offer, hy letter or petition to your Council, wbo have no othor way to serve their position, than by tIrir own judgmeat and some knowledgeof your opinions - - Do not complain if you cannot help. Mr. Lovekin, it may ho possible for 200,000 people iaterested la Joha and Yoko visiting Clarke for thnee or four days in July, that no more tban 2% of this aumber spread out ru the Pine woods that surround Mosport for. many miles in every direction (with Sleeping bags, a handful of pot, a c.c. of speed, a few cubes of treated sugar, and a portion of hooze). The world will suroly Irear of the Great Pine Ridge, and perhaps see or smell the smoke from it. Ia losing, I believe that it is btter to, look for 'trouble, than have it sneak up on you when you are not looking. Yours truly, A., Low, Kondal, Ontario. Letter To The Editor Local News Mus.
