Councillor Lois Hancey quipped. “I‘m surprised at how much thinking this council has done in the past. year,” as Mayor Thom- as Broadliurst and other councillors queried provi- sions of the bylaw. Objection was noted to a subsection which defined “parking” as standing still of a vehicle, whether oc- cupied or not. It was felt the more common term. with which motorists are familiar. is "standing". Both, Mayor Broa burst and Councillof'ivanf Tans- ' bridge took exception to a clause which would forbid any person from publicly preaching, lecturing, de- claiming or haranguing in or on any town park with- out approval in writing by the parks board. “I would like that clause out in the ‘Limey" tradiâ€" tion of free speech.” stated the mayor. Although agreeing with the mayor on the principle of free speech, Councillor Mans- bridge noted that such events in our town's parks, because of their limited area. wouldn't leave much room for other people wanting to use the facili- ties. Reeve Donald Plaxton, although approving of the Hyde Park principles. felt council should give parks board the right to deny this kind of meeting. Another section of the bylaw which prohibits the selling, offering or exposâ€" ing for sale in any town park of food, drink or re- freshments and any other articles, came.-_ under», fire, and it ‘was'suggested that the words “except on \iTitâ€"‘ ten permission of the parks board” be added. The bylaw covers all phases of park management aiid park usage and will be studied at greater length in the near future in commit- tee of the whole. 2 York County School H o w ever. RICHMOND HILL.
