The men appeared as a deputation Opposing the Maple Leaf Autq Racing Club plan. They laid be- fore council a petifl'on on which were approximately 70 signa- tures. The petition ‘asked that approval for the proposed auto race t‘tack be deferred pending a referendum of the property owners of King Township in or. der that all concerned may have an opportunity to expressi their ’opinion upon a matter which may affect their property values and which may ‘establish an un- desirab’le precedent.

The Township Planning Board has raised no objections and has‘ given its ap- proval. Therefore Township council cannot give or ~withhold approval to operate a race track in the township because we have no by-law covering such a prop- osition.
