If anybody doesn't think so, just ask Ernest Lee, of Greenbank, who found a carrot in his garden that weighed in at two pounds, four ounces, and he said last week there are others almost as big. If that doesn't make you see in the dark; nothing will. PORT TAVERN GRADUATION Carol Lyn Aird, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.

We're waiting to hear from 'ou. Mayor upset continued from page 1 a conflict of interest and did not vote. It was during debate on the resolution that Mayor Lawrence Malcolm express- ed his complete opposition stating that it could raise "five or six bigger problems at a later date." He added that there are many proper- ties throughout the Town- ship which could be exempt- ed from the levy under these provisions, and this could mean a loss in re- venue to the Township of up to $20,000 per year. While the resolution carr- ied, a second thorny issue of * whether to make it retro- active to cover a specific dispute with a property owner in Port Perry did not get the necessary support of Council. Councillor | Richard Drew suggested a' motion to re- scind a council decision of July 25 which assessed the $1000 Jevy to a severance of a property owned by Mr. Claire Miller of Port Perry. Mr. Miller has strongly ob- jected to the levy on the grounds that the two abutt- ing lots he owns in Port Perry were at one time completely seperate and that each has had a dwell- ing on it for some years. The motion by Councillor Drew to exempt the Miller property was defeated with councillors Crosier, Taylor, Asselstine and McLaughlin in opposition and councillor Rose in favour. Councillor Crosier, in vot- ing against the motion to exempt the July 25 levy on the Miller property, said that he recalls at least two other similar cases since January that would have to be rescinded, and he won- dered just how many others there might be. "That," answered Mayor Malcolm "is the Pandora's Box." REASONS Prior to the vote on the first resolution to exempt these properties from future levies, councillor Rose ex- plained that the purpose of the levy is for new home owners to purchase equity into existing services or ex- panded ones which they will be using. Where houses have existed for a number of years, the owners have been paying taxes, and there is no cause for the Township to collect the levy on these specific lots: "I hate to see the levy being used as another way to 'put it" to the taxpayers," coun- cillor Rose concluded.
