The trucking companies are having a rough time in this recession and it is possible possible that we could not afford to relocate and build a trucking yard and shop elsewhere. elsewhere. Also, the 11 or 12 residents residents of Best Road who took this to the O.M.B. equals out to one employee and his family to one home owner. The cost of this in unemployment unemployment and welfare adds more hardship to the recession. recession. When this all started, I went to a councillor to see 1 about building a new house on my farm. At that time, this councillor contacted our town planner, Mr. Frank Wu for his expert advice. These are his words in writing: writing: "Rezoning application to allow expansion to existing use, plus the erection of one single family dwelling." I hired a lawyer and a surveyor and started this procedure. When we went to town council, this is when the town planner changed his mind, for whatever reason, and turned it down. Mr. Wu has cost me a lot of money. In 1973, when I pur- . chased this farm, I went to Clarke Council and they gave me their blessing and said I did not need to rezone. There are three residents on Best Road who were here in 1973. All the rest have built new homes or bought homes that were already here. The results of this could be a devastation for our trucking business and our employees. , Stewart Wood u p Bill Clarke adds dial the Town of Newcastle Newcastle has become an attractive attractive place in which to live and that it will take sharp minds and clever administrators administrators to cope with the growth which will occur.
