Guides 8: Brownies and Lillian Atcheson 0n the sick list last week Whitchurch Township Council passed a motion spelling out the inter-township telephoning ser- vices that it wishes the Bell Telephone Company to provide at a meeting January 21.

He gave no reasons for his posi- tion. One concession was made to existing Whitchurch kennel opâ€" erators who have been fighting regulation by the township for two years. Mr. Rogers suggest- ed a special provision concern- ing prior non-conforming uses be included in any new bylaw. However, Councillor Robert Lewis pointed out that as far as council's licencing committee is concerned, only kennels with 1968 licences will be considered as being in existence prior to the passing of the bylaw. Only four of some 35 kennels in the township have 1968 licenses. The remainder claim that they cannot conform to the bylaw’s regulations. Whitchurch Township Coun- cil may be down following its recent defeat by the township’s kennel operators before the On- tario Municipa-l Board but its certainly not out. Three methods of achieving the bylaws objective were pre- sented to council, January 21, in a letter from Township Solicitor Ian Rogers. Council could either redraw the squashed bylaw and try again for OMB approval or pass a new bylaw redefining com- mercial kennels. according to Mr. Rogers. The third suggest- ed method would be to restrict the number of licences issued under the township's existing licencing bylaw. Council is em- powered by the present pro- vincial legislation to refuse a licence without giving a reason. Mr. Rogers said he believed the OMB had “erred” in its decision and was requesting written reasons for that de- cision. He believes there is support under the Municipal Act for the complete prohibi- tion of particular uses such as certain types of industry or kennels within a municipality. Council Spells Out Bell Service Wanted The board had held that pro- hibition of land use is not au- thorized by section 80 of the Act. The bylaw prohibiting ken- nels in the municipality was squashed by the OMB, Decem- ber 20, on the grounds that it was an improper means of con- trolling land use. More Than One Way To License A Kennel Victor spent eight days in York County Hospital. Newmar- ket, 18 weeks in a wheelchair and many weeks on crutches. Within a few weeks of the acci- dent he was attending parades We add our congratulations to Victor Dowell chosen to re- ceive the Aurora Optimists” Youth of the Month Award.

Use The Classifieds Phone 884-1105-5 Now Councillors Gordon Rowe and Sid Flinders, chairman and member respectively of King Township Council's police com- mittee, last week sought clarifi- cation of a proposed county- wide police system. Councillor Rowe, pointing out that Minis- ter of Municipal Affairs Darcy McKeough had stated that a unified police system would be part of regional government which will be introduced later this year or early in 1970. asked Reeve Gordon Cook and Deputy -1'eeve Ken Mactaggart if a county-wide police system is emminent. Although agreeing that such amalgamation would provide more efficient policing, Council- lor Rowe wondered if the extra etficiency would warrant the ‘erators were granted 1968 lic- ences at a meeting December 7 provided they submit to an in- spection by the chief of police. The three applicants have re- fused to allow the inspection on the grounds that they were es- tablished before the bylaw was passed last June. Arthur Evans, MLA Simcoe Centre (Conservative) told West Gwillimbury Township Council recently that regional govern- ment in Simcoe County is not imminent. Mr. Evans reported that he had been told by Premier John Robarts that Simcoe County was doing a good job and that regional government for the area was not being considered by the provincial government. The MLA also said he be- lieved that Bradford and West Gwillimbury should be operated by one council. “County coun- cil has too many members. We should cut the number of muni- cipalities because fewer men can operate the county just as well.“ he said. Following the December 7 decision, one of the applicants, Mrs. Suzanne Janda of RR 2, Stouffville, warned that the decision would mean another fight by the kennel operators. “You men can mould your own destiny. I don’t believe that you will wake up some morning and find you are in a regional government.” Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert G.

Reeve Cook pointed out that the county-wide force could bring a drastic reduction in numbers of the 20 dispatchers and five police chiefs at present employed by forces in the coun- ty. Councillor Rowe countered with the possibility of increase administrative and capital ex- penditures. “All who are physi- cally capable will be retained if a county force is instituted.” was his contention.
