Phillip Englishman, gen- eral manager of Control -Tel Limited, a company which sells, services and installs business telephone systems and refurbishes antique phones, says 18 tractor -trail- er loads of equipment have been delivered from Cargill and Control -Tel is back at work.

Ministry of Labor -approved plans before a permit would be issued to renovate a portion of the former Gorrie Building Supply outlet where the company would use about 9000 square, feet for production and warehousing needs. "They wanted us to submit blueprints approSed by the Ministry of Labor. We had line drawings done, but blueprints would have cost $3000," says Mr. English- man. He says after an April 22 public meeting on the rezoning of the property to be used by Control -Tel, at which Howick Township Council reiterated the need for ministry -approved plans, he took the line drawings to the ministry. "They were approved and then Howick had no choice but to issue us a permit," he says. Howick Township Clerk - treasurer Marvin Bosetti says, "He (Mr. Englishman) brought the approved, plans to us on April 23 and we issued a renovation permit later that week." Mr. Bosetti. says Howick never stipulated the plans had to be blueprints and Howick's building inspector was quoted in the April 17 edition of this paper as saying, "All I wanted was something that was ap- proved by the Ministry of Labor. I don't care if it was a line drawing or what. Mr. Englishman says he finally took the drawings to the ministry because he "knew they would be suf- ficient." He says...the .company's__ relationship with Howick council has been strained by the mix-up but says, "My main concern right now is getting this business off the ground. I really don't want to worry about the working relationship with council. I can worry about that later. And when I say `council', I mean the elected members.
