They requested Informa- tion r egarding the possibility of limiting the number of hairdressing establishnments in relationship to the popula- tion1. Clerk Bill Wallace res- ponded that the Town does not restrict any other activi- ty in Whitby in relalionship to population and in my opinion to do so takes away the free enterprise aspect of our socicty". The association also asked to be advised when the Town receives applications for.h air- dresslng establishments. The clerk reported. that "10 provide the rcquested information puIs an addition- al responslbility upon our staff which is not warranted. If the Whitby Hairdressers' Association fecîs that this information is vital ho their operation then they are most welcomc 10 attend at our office and review the list of establishments that have been Iiccnccd.
