Charlie Harper, a vice pres- ident and founding member of the Port Perry Snowmobile Club told the meeting Monday evening that banning the ma- chines on local streets could make law breakers out of citi- zens who normally go out of their way to obey laws. He suggested that law abiding snowmobilers might be Group files brief on VIA The Peterborough- Havelock Line Passenger Asso- ciation has submitted 16 propo- sals on how to save money and nerate new revenues for the ia service that runs between Havelock and Toronto.

Mr. Harper stressed sever- al times during his address to council that that Snowmobile Club is more than willing to as- sist the Township in promoting safety and respect for private property. He said. the Club has 24 trail wardens who would be willing to patrol the streets and help with by-law enforcement. "We (Club members) are afraid that we are being kicked out of town (banned from the streets) but the problems will still be here," he said. Bill Austin, speaking on be- { with half of residents in the Victori- an Village subdivision, said they want to see tougher laws. "We don't want to see some- body get hurt or killed," he said. He suggested that a curfew is a good don, and that it is very important that those who flaunt the by-laws be charged and not let away with a warn- ing. Barbara Grey told the meeting that last winter she was nearly hit by a speeding snowmobile as she stood in her front yard with her three-year old child. She said she managed to get the registration number, contacted police and was told later, the offender was given PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, June 6, 1969 -- § Compromise with snowmobilers is likely just a warning. She added that later than night, there were numerous snow machines buzzing around the neighbourhood. "I don't know if that was just a co-incidence or not," she told the meeting. It was agreed by almost all who spoke at the public meeting that the vast majority of snow- mobilers are law abiding citi- zens who respect private prop- erty and the rights of others. Mr. Harper said that there are possible changes coming to the Trespass Act that will allow persons to be charged if the snow machine registration number is known, without a positive ID of the driver. While it appears as if the new by-law will not ban the ma- chines from the streets of Port Perry and Prince Albert, Mayor Hall said he is "optimistic and confident" the Durham Police will be taking tougher action when it comes to enforcing by- laws this winter. "I am confident we (Town- ship) will be getting the full co- operation of the Police (in en- forcing the by-laws) this win- ter," he said. Just when will Township council get around the drafting anew snowmobile by-law? May- or Hall said he expects the new by-law will be re-written, passed, and on the books within the next four weeks.
