Councillor Merlyn Baker charged in council last week. Banks Drop Exchange Outâ€"Of-Town Cheques “It was not discreet to hold the meeting in that manner." said Councillor Baker. He made knmm his objection May 19 during council dis- cussion of meeting minutes. The major chartered banks made the announcement last Friday that the levy (a mini- mum of 15 cents) will no longer be charged for negotiating a cheque drawn on a .bank in another town or city as long as the cheque is in Canadian dol- lars and is cashed in Canada. Some banks excepted a few places in the far north. The removal of this charge will represent a saving of mil- lions of dollars to the public. Among these who greet the news with satisfaction are memâ€" bers of the Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce, who in February, through the local bank managers. made represen- tation to the bank head offices to have the charge eliminated. Business discussed after public and press left included repairs to the municipal building after the recent fire and suspected arson. assault charges against two Whit- church Police Constables. reâ€" signation of one policeman. and several other items. Mr. Baker also challenged the minutes of three meetâ€" ings. He. was supported by Councillor Gordon Ratcliff. But the minutes were ac- cepted on a three to two vote. Reeve Stewart Burnett, De- puty-reeve Norman Barnard. and Councillor Mrs. Betty van Nostrand formed the majority. Mr. Baker called for a recorded vote.
