The Huron Expositor, 1972-10-05, Page 1SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, TridESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1972 — 16 PAGES Canada' Agricultural Minister H. A. Bud Olsen was in Huron on Thursday and spent the morning with Huron Liberal candidate C-harles,Thomas. Following a breakfast in Wingham and a TV session •at CKNX 'UV., Mr. Olsen stop- ped fpr a few minutes at the McKillop farm of Con Eckert where he chatted with area farmers. Here Mr. Olsen and Mr. Thomas take part in- a qu'eStion -and answer session that was a feature 'of the visit. '(Staff Photo) action (salvage) 1 yard was already there." Mr. Lerner replied that Dr. Moyo bought the farm believing the council would en- force its own by-laws. Mr. Lerner said there was no doubt in his mind that there ' was a breach of the by-law Which states that salvage must bet be visible from the highway or from any adjacent property at grotind level. He asked council why it was reluctant to prosecute the case. Reeve Elgin Thompson cited the positions taken by different rate- payers and recalled a previous meeting when a delegation ap:- peered . on behalf of Mr. Brown with a petition. Mr. Lerner said he doubted whether 90 per cent of those people who signed the petition lived within a mile of the yard. Deputy Reeve Alex McGregor' asked Mr. Lerner: "Isn't this your responsibility to prove Brown is breaking`the by-law7" Mr. Lerner replied! "All Ile complaining about is that you are not enforcing the by-law. The respopsibility lies directly with council. It is your, by-law." and added."You have been giv- ing him what I •would call pro-. bationary licenses when you only give him one for six months." Mr. Thomplikin -Sam mac tie and Deputy Reeve McGregor had visited the yard and offered Mr. Brown $2,000 to relocate his yard while keeping the property and selling it as•reside ntial Jots, but Mr. Brown refused any offer. Mr. Lerner said he was not interested- in persecuting' Mr. Brown but was only interested in proteCting his client. He asked cncil "Gentlemen,. it is .up to y&1, either you proSecute him for breach of the by-law or you say no." , Councillor Ervin Sillery asked Mr. Lerner to put his request in writing. "That would be our first step to act on, " he said. Earlier Mr. Brown had been at the meeting asking council to permit him to• burn trash at his salvage yard but he 'oval told not to. In other business at the ses- sion which continued until 1:15 a.m. Wednesday, council anthor- ized the clerk to apply for in- terim road subsidy on expendi- tures of $83,831.11.
