According to Councillor Edwards, such a survey has already been undertaken by council's administrative corn- mittee. Councillor Drumm recent- ly reported he had talked to 122 people on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, spendjng some 30 hours and ècovering four streets. He found 68 people were against lot severances, 46 in favor and eight had no opin- ion. Most stated that they lived in a planned subdivision which did not cati for lot severances at a later date, he said. CLOCA states that the, area directly south of Victoria Street rnay have to be filled in to encourage the growth of marsh vegetation and thereby discourage the launching of canioes - which currentlY occurs along this busy road. CLOCA General Manager Bil Campbell says that since Some said they wouldagree to two lot owners forming one lot out of their property, he said. Councillor Edwards told Councillor Drumnrn that a sur- vey had been taken a yearago by the town, and the public opinions had not changed much. However, it was good to have the views reaffirmed, he said. i)ogs attack van Everyorie has heard of dogs chasing cars, but last Wednesday two Gernian Shepherd dogs literalty at- tacked a van in Whitby.
