* A : Weston man, driver for a local lumber store appeared in Lambton Mills court last Thursâ€" day on a charge of theft of moneys totalling $118; Considâ€" ering it was a first offense, and that restitution was promised, William Jankes Bolton, 43, of Deerhurst Ave.; Weston, was given two years suspended senâ€" tence and probation. by A. A. Deslauriers Councillor _ Irving _ Paisley, Ward 6 _ representative _ and member of the North York Planning Board scored the poor planning and â€" shortsightedness involved in forcing strip develâ€" opments on builders who reâ€" quest additional parking faciliâ€" ties on residential land abutting commercial land fronting on Main Arterial roads within the Township. . Councillor Moore said that the property owners on Little Ave. had been contributing to the sidewalk repair‘ programme throughout the town, about Suspended Sentence Given Weston Driver Referring to the application before the Planning Board .at its last meeting which dealt with the application of Irwin Burns, President of Burcan Builders Ltd. Councillior Paisâ€" ley stated: Councillor Holley said that the Little Ave. work in his opinion should be considered as part of the town‘s road buildâ€" ing programme. It had been given priority because of imâ€" pending traffic conditions but it was on the schedule for reâ€" building in any case. He conâ€" tended that if the town did one as a local, it would have to do them all that way. Young Deer Is Sighted In Humberlea Tues. Ps Len Cowling said that Bolton had made deliveries of lumber for his employers durâ€" ing the past three months, deâ€" strdyed a number of office sales slips . and kept the payments himself. "It is time.that we took the bull by the horns and faced this problem of inadequate parking facilities whenever and whereâ€" ver we allow strip commercial development _ to _ locate. We should keep proper planning in the forefront rather ‘than perâ€" sonal interests involved. I would strongly recommend ‘that this particular application be referâ€" red to the proper Metro Planâ€" ning Authority in order to obâ€" tain their opinion on its effect on future development of the proposed Spadina Road Extenâ€" sion _ (Wilson â€" Heights â€" Bouleâ€" vard) and Wilson Avenue which is presently a Metro Road.
