the new boards
The board then discussed what
action should be taken in the flee
Lure and as several members had
had no previous information on the
subject various parts of the Aet
governing planning boards was'
disclosed. It was pretty well' agreed
that the joint board would act on
problems related to the fringe area
between} the two municipalities
While Problems relative to either
Turnberry or Winghe.m weuld be
settled' by their respective members
on the new ,board.
Chairman Nasmith pointed out
that the board had been formed
with the hope that some oe the red
tape folind fn connection with lois)
problems, that in the past have
been settled in Toronto, would be
cut and things made easier on the
local levee
The problems of building codes,
zoning and general planning were
discussed but only on a super-
ficial basis. Reeve Willits -suggest-
ed that ordinary farm land :trans-
actions and buildings would not be
affected by any authority vested in
the board, but he 'suggested that
there 'are areas in the township,
where control would be just as
necessary as it was in town.
Mayor McKinney stressed the
valtie of having representation
from both town and country and
the fact that mutual problems can
be settled with co-operation and
harmony by the board working as
a group.
Before the board adjourned it de-
cided to hold another meeting on
the 18th of July and will call in
Mr. Smith, of Kitchener, who is
acting as consultant for the group,
to go over the proper course of
action with the new group.
