Weston Wes Boddington predicts a long road ahead hfr:’:m“meho the position :f adopting a new air pollution control bylaw. . g 5 As chairman of the Metro works committee, the Weston mayor will have the responsibility this Sep tember of conducting a series of meetings at which industry in the community will have the right to comâ€" ment on the proposed regulations. The mayor would have liked to have these sessions start in July or August but the committee decided to go with a numâ€" ber of fall meetings. The Weston mayor considers, however, that many of his political associates will be more concerned with the next civic election than with processing the air polâ€" lution bylaw. The new bylaw doesn‘t restrict the use of certain fuels but this was definitely studied. If you think the new bylaw is tough Metro has on file a secâ€" tion of old English law that made burning the wrong type of fuel a hanging offense.

Many civic representatives scooted out of town this week for the Vancouver conference of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities. Metro Chairman Allen decided not to attend. He advised other council members that he would stay behind and guard city hall from any revolutionary element that might try to seize it. One Metro wag last week sugâ€" gested that Metro offer the city $1 for the new city hall. The rank and file suburban members of Metro Council still lack a lounge area in the building. spent St. John‘s YPCGs Wind Up Year: With Dinner Dance Recently St. John‘s Young People‘s Club, Weston, held their fifth Annual Award‘s Dinner and Dance at the Thorncrest Village Clubhouse.
