withdraw its objection to a zoning
bylaw permitting construction of

the lot, which is part of a farm
owned by Mrs. Harold Congram,
is well under way. Council has

meeting council approved a
severance for James Coultes on

agricultural operations.

to severances requested to
permit a land exchange between
Garth Walden and Douglas and

Building permits were issued
to Adrie Bos for an implement

plement shed and grain storage;

zoning bylaws.
