"I think they have almost ceased

mayor.
Councillor Walkon4 "They were
supposed to have something con-

Mayor Huckins: "S omebody
could come in, purchase that site
and put up a quonset hut. It is
just another indication that some
form of regulated planning should
be adopted by the town."
Progress Report
The planning body should sub-
mit a progress report to Council,
suggested Mayor Huckins. If their
work' has not been completed, it
should be 'finished as soon as pos-
sible, he felt.
"I might say the fire marshal
was very concerned about it him-
self," said the mayor. "He was
very unhappy about our building
code."
Representatives of the fire mar-
shal's office have been in town to
investigate last week's fatal blaze.
On1Friday, they left for Meaford
in connection with an enquiry
there, said •Mayor Huckins.
Councillor Walkom and others
expressed hope that the ruins will
be cleaned up soon so that the
fence can be remcnied and the side-
walk opened to pedestrians again.
