Stone removed (Continued from page 1) the Town staff said that Rutter Rutter Granite should refund Stephenson's money, cut down the size of the stone, or replace * it, since they had# notification of the by-law and should have acted accordingly. Stephenson said the company had already refunded $250.00 and had offered to make further further amends but Stephenson , and his family were unwilling to change the stone which had been in place for a year. Stephenson argued that he could have at least six different stones on the lot, but because one stone he had erected close to a road allowance and the stone was oversize the Town had removed it. Stephenson said the Town has not removed a stone from the cemetery in 25 years but the jstaff disagreed saying there had been two stones removed for various reasons and then replaced. Mayor Rickard pointed out at the meeting there were many stones in the cemetery that were much larger than Stephenson's but Councillor Hobbs stated those stones' could have been erected anywhere from 75 to 100 years ago. Because the Town had made exemptions to the bylaw bylaw in other cases brought before the Council, Councillor Councillor Diane . Harare asked that the by-law be amended to exempt Stephenson because the stones had been in place and because of the emotional, upset obviously caused to Stephenson and his family.

Purchasing and Supply Agent Telephone: (416) 623-3379 Ext. 67 Date of Publication: November 16th, 1983 r The car the family and I have been driving for three years now has reached a stage at which repairs are beginning to be troublesome. It,was one of the first North American mid-size, -front-wheel drives, and although the first two years were great, we're thinking now about replacing it. The bçss dragged me. off recently to look at a car by a North American automaker automaker that I have scorned until now, after a bad experience experience years ago. Not any longer. The car I looked ■ at was fairly smpll, even op the shrinking scale.now Current. Current. A four-cylinder engine (a shade over two litres in size), a five-speed manual gearbox, with,the stick where it ought to be, on the floor beside your right hand. All weather, steel-belted radiais are standard. It has front-wheel drive -- very effective in snow -- and a gear ratio designed to give you the jump at traffic lights and around town. It has four doors and a back seat which I can get into comfortably, all six foot four of me. It has a trunk in which you could stow several bodies,,if you had a mind, and a price tag on the standard standard model which is well under ten thousand dollars. How a car looks depends on who's looking at it, but to me, this one has clean, aerodynamic lines and I think it's a handsome little béast. I say beast because the practical, fuel-efficient family sedan I have just described described tears up the road like some of the sports cars I us- ' ed to drive. I didn't put a watch on it, but I'd be surprised surprised if I didn't have this little tiger doing sixty from a standing start within spitting distance of ten seconds. And I méan miles per hour, not kilometres, although I will not admit for the benefit of any police officers listening just where in Metropolitan Toronto I ran this little road test. It's a nice smooth gearbox, perhaps not quite as silky ds the ohe I handled on an imported sedan a few days ago. But for a savjng of approximately • twelve thousand dollars, it could be a lot rougher before I'd complain about it. I'm not going to tell you what kind of car it was that I drove, even if you write or call. If I wanted a job selling automobiles. I'd quit the one I've got. Butyl'll give you a hint. This One is made near Toronto, right here in Keep It Beautiful country. It's all > Canadian from top tô bottom, and buying one means keeping,at least a piece of one Canadian job in this country. This car, and several others now on the market, are living proof that the North Amëricdn- automakers have learned their lesson. This, is the kind of car that those of us who switched to the fdrèign stuff a few years ago were yelling about. In Detroit and Windsor and Oakville and Oshawa, I think the penny has finally dropped.
