Clinton News Record, 1981-04-02, Page 111 Except for charred ruins, little remains of the Clinton Hotel this week, after workmen from Merner Con- struction tore down the rest of the structure, gutted in a fire last October. The site has been sold to a London development firm, who aren't saying yet what will be built on the site. The blackened fire wall of Gerrard's Shopping Centre in the background still shows how fierce the fire burned.

In Tuckersmith Furre by Alice Gibb Tuckersmith animal lovers take note - your neigh- bours may not be as enamoured of your "furry friends" as you are and Tuckersniith council intends to do something about it. At their recent meeting, councillors discussed a proposed bylaw to limit the number of domestic pets, livestock and poultry that can be kept in the township's residential areas In Vanastra, Egmondville, Harpurhey, Kippen and Brucefield. The first problem facing councillors is to establish boundaries governed by the regulations, so the bylaw won't interfere with farming operations on the edge of -villages, Councillors spent over an hour pouring over maps, suggesting which residential areas should be • excluded or included in the animal control bylaw. The proposal councillors are considering will limit homeowners to keeping one animal unit (defined later in the story) on their property. However, someone who has more than the designated number of units - for example, six horses or four fea CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, APRIL 2 , 1981—PAGE 11 ere and finned face cows - on their property when the bylaw is passed, as long as those animals aren't removed from the site for 30 days or more, can keep the same number of animals as in the past. What does council consider an animal unit? That was the next item up for debate. Councillors almost im- mediately decided to exclude pigs completely. Bob„ Bell said, "but damn pigs in a built up area, I don't think there's any place for them." Councillors decided even two sows and their litters were too much for townfolk. Animal units the coun- cillors proposed could be allowed are one dairy cow ,ancl .bre , f toe sheep and their ]amus; "two loraes• `tlr ponies and a colt, 25 laying hens or broilers, two dogs, four cats, no reptiles, geese, turkeys, ducks or roosters -. "it's the rooster that is the six o'clock alarm clock" Bob Broadfoot pointe out, and five goats and their young. When the debate ended, John Brownridge pointed out councillors had forgotten all about hamsters, and then reminded council. the "no reptiles" clause would prevent kids from keeping either a pet toad or frog. The question of how many rabbits to allow also involved a great debate, the little creatures being so prolific. Councillors finally decided one animal unit could be 10 female rabbits plus their litters. The recommended fine under the bylaw, for homeowners keeping in excess of one animal unit (on their property, would be a maximum of $100 on the first offence. Council also decided to add a stipulation that no con- struction of a building for the purpose of the permanent housing of livestock or poultry be allowed within 60 metres (or 196 feet) of an - adjacent residence. By 11:15 p.m. -after debating the topic for well over an hour, even coun- cillors found it difficult to be entirely serious about the matter. As one councillor suggested, what about people with a mixed animal unit - say one dog and a horse. Or what about pigeons, another bird of the feather councillors com- Tonnage regulations set Tuckersmith council ap- proved a bylaw at their meeting limiting vehicle ton- nage on five township bridges. The bylaw will be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation (MTC) for their approval, and then ton- nage limits will be posted on the five bridges. Bridge No. 3, on Con. 11-12, Huron Road Survey, will have a 10 ton limit posted on the bridge.

Speaking of mixing units, councillor Jim Papple asked, "Does that mean if you have three cats, you can only have one-third of adog?"
