H'ur`orv.Bruce MPP Murray
•Gaunt has successfully
sought protection for beef
producers who are hit by
losses caused by meat
packers going bankrupt.
The Kincardine News in an
interview with Gaunt learned',
that he went to the Ontario
Government after he feared
that producers may be hurt
by two packers which may go
broke.
Essex Packers which went;
broke earlier owed many beef
producers money including
$20,000 to one area farmer.
Gaunt and several Liberal
MPP's went to Agriculture
Minister William Newman
when they learned that two
packers may begoing broke.
Gaunt however said that he
was not in the position to
name the . packers at this
time.
Gaunt told'x. The News that
there should be a law
requiring packersto pay
producers for cattle within 48
asked the council for finan-
cing help for the,prpperty'oe.
Victoria Street which would
would cost about $26,000, part
of which would be corn
pensated by renting a House,
on the lot as well as 'renting
parking •spaces to the
'residents of a nearby apar-
tment building. The objective
was to keep away from
putting up meters and
.provide off-street parking for
I vehicles.
However, severaT coun-
cillors wondered w-hether the
amount of parking gained
would warrant the price of
the property. Council felt that
the present lot should be.
encouraged as a parking area
and recommended that the
authority study the use of this
lad before purchasing
anymore. •
Their T-shirts say it all,
