At a public hearing in Guelph on CNR's application to discontinue passenger trains 986 and 987, Mr. Young presented a brief in which he examined the needs for such a service. Since the two trains do serve a great many com- muters, he felt that con- sideration should be given to how adNstrhenta to this line should be made.

A recent tragedy involving the drowning of an eight-year- old Weston boy stresses this danger. We are worried by the number of drowning accidents in this area. The Futon Times asked I. F.

The con- frontation took place at a Weston Ratepayers' Association meeting on Tuesday March 31. Aboui 75 people heard each man defend his point of View. Mr. Singer, who heads Lionstar Development Company, has applied to purchase the John St. lot in Weston to include it in an apartment and shopping complex he has planned for the area. Mr: Johns was representing several Weston businessmen who oppose the sale of the lot. Ratepayers President, W. Lough began the meeting by declaring its purpose was simply to present the facts, and asked members to control any rowdiness that might erupt. Mr. Singer spoke first. He said he had offered to pur- chase the parking lot in' 1968 and that the parking authority had recommended the lot be appraised and sold, and the money be used to acquire a new parking lot in the vicinity. The reasoning behind this, was the fact that the lot wasn't being fully utilized, and that Weston did not require a parking lot that "What came out at the end was that the opposition wasn’t so much to the sale of the parking lot but to the project " such. I can un- derstand the feeling of the businessmen ... there's a nagging fear that they may lose business," he continued. "The more shopping comes into an area, the more people come in there and the more benefit accrues to the have spoken to quite a few businessmen in Weston and many at them are in favour of this shopping centre.

He referred to James Trimbee's letter to the Weston Times where Trimbee referred to such an arrangement as being captive parking. Mr. Singer quoted a survey by the Gallup Poll in which 538 households were in- terviewed: 36 per cent said they would do a lot more shopping in Weston with the complex, 70 per cent of Westonians shop outside of Weston at present for clothing and household Mr. Singer maintained that people would continue to shop in the street despite the upper lot. He criticized the lack of variety in the shops of Weston. . . "From every point of view this thing is an advantage to you and to Weston' and to the Borough of York;" he said. Gentlemen's Agreement "I was impressed; I was almost persuaded. You are a very persuasive type," Mr. Johns began. His mentioned the pur- chase of the parking lot several years ago with $21,000 and later $50,000 from the Weston businessmen. He said that he felt that it had been a gentleman's agreement that the parking lot remain to serve Weston citizens and businessmen. He felt the borough had a moral obligation to provide Mr. Johns also said he felt that the complex was beautiful and inspired, and that many businessmen were for it. However many floor parking lot had been glossed over, and he agreed with Mr. Trimbee's ac- cusation of captive parking. He felt the terms of the sale of the parking lot were un- fair.
