the town even ask what Hill and Borgal planned
to do with the parcel of land.
Hill has not addressed the hearing yet and
would not comment on what evidence he would
be giving. But he did say he was confident what
he had to say would alleviate all the concerns
the town had raised.
"If they (the town) feel it's more important to
object and not come to us to ask what we plan
then that's an indication of the way they carry
out public affairs," said the planner..
Hill said he planned to use the barn without
making any major changes. He said the two
storey brick and frame structure would be
totally converted inside but very little would be
done to the outside to suit the firm's needs.
He said parking would be no problem since it
.was his intention to use the bottom floor of the
building for parking. He said all staff vehicles
would fit inside the building removing the need
for on street parking and that the lot provided
room for three spaces for customer parking.
The second floor of the building will house
office space according to Hill's plan. He said
the building would be converted to a basic in-
dustrial use adding he felt the proposed use of
the old building would do nothing but
"enhance" the downtown area.
Huron county planner Gary Davidson told the
hearing he felt the plan presented by Hill could
work. He said he based that opinion on the fact
that he had "asked what he (Hill) was going to
do". Davidson pointed out that the present use
of the building did not conform to the town's
zoning bylaw but that Hill's proposed use
would.
Davidson said Hill's project complies with
the intent of the town's official plan pointing out
that had it not he would have objected to the
project.
Davidson, who was subpoenaed by. Hill's
lawyer, told the hearing he felt the project was
a good use of interior land space that does not
require frontage on a public street to be ac-
comodated.
The hearing was adjourned with no decision
and will be continued at a later date. The date
will be 'set 'by' the tIMB to accomodate all
parties.'

was $1,100 an acre. He said land prices went up
from there.
The OMAF project worker said many of the
high prices paid for farmland were paid by
farmers themselves. He said Ontario farmers
were still the largest owners of land in the
province and had, by far, the largest land
assets.
Coates said the prices paid for farmland took
off in the middle of the '70's about the same
time farm commodity prices enjoyed hefty
increases.
He said many problems creg.ted in
agriculture by high land prices are created by
farmers. He pointed out that farmers have a
tendency to `„'live poor and die rich". He ex-
plained that every year a farmer enjoys
reasonable profits on the farm he invariably
capitalizes those profits. • Hoping to score big
the following year he spends all the money on
tile drainage, • more land, buildings or
machinery and suddenly finds himself in a
position where he has to make more money just
topay ... _ _ . _._ ._ _ -- _ . _._
To make more money the farmer needs more
land to work and that land has to be purchased.
The farmer then uses the home farm, usually a
cheap land base because it has been a family
holding, to raise money for more land. He
justifies the large dollar paid for the land by
financing it over a long period of time and then
sets out to make as much money as he can to
make ends meet. -
Coates added that if the farmer ever finds
himself in a position of selling land he, will not
sell ft for less than he paid for it which drives
the price up.
He said that trend started 30 or 40 years ago
when more productive and valuable crops were
introduced to Ontario. Crops like corn and soya
beans were introduced which had a higher yield
for farmers. That higher yield produced more
income which showed up in higher land prices.
That trend continued until the '70's when they
escalated sharply..
Coates said the price of farmland in Ontario

will probably continue to increase. He said
compared to other agricultural areas farmland
in Huron County is still cheap.
Coates made another interesting observation
pointing out that large chunks of land in Huron
county are ownedby non -county residents. He
said over 40,000 acres of Huron's land is owned
by non -county residents, close to five percent.
He noted that residents of Kitchener -Waterloo
held title on about 5,000 acres and people from
London owned 6,000.
Coates said there are ten times as many non -
county residents as there are foreign.
Gunman
He pointed out that .there is no good reason
why the cost of farmland should not escalate.
He said in an age when everything is increasing
in cost there is no reason the cost of farming
should not.
He said farming must be treated as an in-
dustry and anyone trying to break into that
industry must go head to head with established
farmers and "that's tough".
"It's an industry just like the auto industry,"
he said adding that "there aren't many people
getting into the auto industry these days
because of the costs and competition".

his right senses don't do those things".
Sheardown's lawyer, Jim Donnelly,
described his client as a quiet person that had
led a sheltered existence. He said he felt
Sheardown was suffering from a problem_he_
couldn't deal with. The situation becar fe very
"tense and volatile" and when Bacon opened
the door fast Sheardown fired in a reflex action.
He said he felt the accused fired through the
doorway rather than at a person.
He said Sheardown's action indicated he
wanted to die at the hands of the police. He
made no effort to detain employees at the
Manpower Centre and insisted that they call
the police.
He said his statement at the police station
after the incident indicated he was remorseful
about what he had done.
Judge William Cochrane sentenced Shear -
down to one year in jail. He said the sentence
was not designed as a deterrent but to allow
Sheardown to "rehabilitate himself and be
rehabilitated so that when he comes out of jail
he will be better able to cope with every day
living".
Judge Cochrane said there was no purpose to
the whole exercise Sheardown went through
that a normal person could perceive. He said
END. OF SU.MMER
the incident was not planned or premeditated
but was a way of ending a depression.
The one year jail term also carries a two.year
probation. Judge Cochrane strongly recom-
mended that Sheardown receive whatever
psychiatric .treatment-- -h-is- probation off
feels necessary during that probation.
Sheardown is also prohibited from using or
having in his possession any firearms, am-
munition or explosive substance for five years.
