New Controls Block Winter Resort No longer can any Whitchurch Township land be used for new purposes without the approval of the community through the municipal authority.

Under the new contract a first class con- stable will receive $9,350, a $1,100 increase over the former $8,200. “We feel this will bring our force up to a comparable level with the salaries paid in neigh- boring areas of the county such as Richmond Hill,” stated Councillor Gordon Rowe who chaired council’s police committee. He pointed out that the township was anxious to settle with the police before regional govern- ment takes over in January, “so that they will go into the new system on an equal basis with other forces.

The general consensus is that young people seldom get invol- ved in serious trouble when they have a feeling of pride and involvement.

Such a change in zoning would'be ex- pected to be accompanied by an increase in assessment and taxes. To get a zoning change, the developer will have to convince the community and council that his project is desirable. ‘Even if he gets council approval, he may end up having to convince the Ontario Municipal Board if any of the neighbors actively oppose the development. This kind of control over new developments that may change‘ the character and the environ- ment of the locality is exactly the reason Ontario municipalit- ies are being required to have Official Plans and zoning by- laws.
