In a 5-4 recorded vote, comic
defeated the motion of Mr. Harris
who described council's action as
disgraceful.
Those who voted in favor of tur
ning down the offer to purchase are
Mr. Harris, Mr. McGrath,' Dr
McGregor and Councillor Do
Carter. Those who opposed are: Mr
Kopas,. Reeve Bruce -Machan, an
Councillors Ron Beecroft, War
Robertson and Doug Switzer.
Dr. McGregor then introduced a
motion calling for council to proceed
with the sale and have a survey done
of the portion to be severed. That
motion passed in a 6-3 recorded vote.
Recorded as voting in favor are:
Mr. Beecroft, Mr. Kopas, Mr.
Machan, Dr, McGregor, Mr.
Robertson and Mr. Switzer. Those
recorded in opposition are: Mr.
Carter, Mr. Harris and Mr.
McGrath.
If the town is to go ahead with the
sale, Mr. McGrath said, then it
should advertise that fact. "What if
the Legion wants to purchase that
land?"
His, suggestion to "follow town
policy" and advertise the land for
sale received no support.
Since the council meeting, a
groundswell of opposition to coun-
cil's action has been mounting and
petitions have been placed at
strategic points in the town. It is
believed that the petitions will be
presented to council at its July
meeting while the agenda for that
session is likely also to include at
least one delegation objecting to the

"It (the area in question) is no
longer desirable as residential
property," said Mr. Bailey, because
of its proximity to heavy industrial
activity at the Western Foundry and
Royal Homes.
"Who wants to build across from
Royal Homes?" askedMr. nithle.

"But it's not and that's the

While he said he could understand
their concerns, Councillor Nelson

people will have to face industry

industrial activity, from heavy
industry to lighter uses, such as a
• body shop.
Although he had declared a
conflict of interest, Mr. Baker asked
to speak. He .pointed out that several
of his neighbors already run
businesies out of their own homes.
"The township has to put together
a planning procedure," said Mr.
Underwood. "I know it's your land,
but we must look at the overall
development of the township."
"I'm the first to admit you do have
a problem," said Deputy Reeve
Doug Fortune. "But I'd hate to solve
it by giving it to someone else." -
Mr. Bailey said he was not in favor
of the matter being deferred any
further, but council members said
they wanted to get the views of
neighboring landowners not at the
meeting for their input.
"I'd like to defer this for one to two
months and ask Patty (Mrs.
Munkittrick) to prepare a possible
strategy going from heavy to light
industry and how it could be im-
plemented," said Mr. Fortune.
Mrs. Munkittrick admitted she
would have trouble supporting it as a
straight industrial designation in
front of the planning board. She said,
the time spent modifying the
proposal would be "two months well
spent".
She is to bring a revised proposal
back to the Aug. 2 meeting of council
for another public hearing..
