They voted against the motion at last Thursday's meeting and at the same time, they unanimously approved amending the zoning by-law in R 4 areas to include "chiropractors, Osteopaths, pediatrist and Optometrists." The Weston Ratepayer's Association elected a new slate of officers at their an- nual meeting and election of officers, Wednesday, May 10, at Weston Memorial School. Elected to the office of president was Harvey Higgins, 147 Queens Drive. His executive for the coming year will be Elizabeth Ashbourne, 146 King Street, vice- president; Dennis Shute, 10 Church Street, Areas zoned R 4 in York include apart- ment buildings, highrise and offices. Zone R 2 areas only contain single family dwellings, semi-detached homes and duplexes. The question of changing zoning to allow chiropractors in R 2 came from Mr. Victor L.

"I am quite aware that, technically, this plant (located at Humber Boulevard and Cliff Street) is in commercial Mme, and I, myself, have no particular objection to it. However, I find it difficult to relate its presence, within twenty feet of the nearest residents, with a zoning by-law which restricts clean, quiet professions, which are of direct benefit to local citizens.” In his report to the board, Peter Allen, commissioner of planning, stated that the extension of the provision to include chiropractors (which is considered a specialized, rather than a general service,) would necessitate the inclusion of all other specialized medical practitioners. That pressures to include other similar but non- medical professionals would be forthcoming with the amt. - His report stated that the practice of a single chiropractor may not signitiat . ntly affect a neighborhood on its own, but the long term effect of such a general zoning change would be a gradual mcroachment of business uses, changing the residential character of the neighborhood, chiefly by reason of additional Esme distisrtsaneiss d, on-street parking. .
