That’s why Councillor‘s Al Duffy, chairman of the Richmond Hill parks and recreation committee, and Mike Burnie, member, are all excited.

They are just going to enforce the regulations that already exist, the chairman of the Association of Involved Residents told The Liberal.

Within two years, the activities of Shea and Family Trust are to be merged under the Family Trust name. Family Trust expects to offer mor- tgages at interest rates about one half per cent above that now offered “on a Rosedale home." The new firm with Thomas N. Shea, chairman, and brother Robert Shea, president, will be known as Family Trust Corporation. It will éoncentrate on making mor- tgage funds available in smaller urban centres across southern Ontario. Victoria and Grey is the only major trust company in this field now and the Sheas think there is room for more. “The case I like to think of," said Bob Shea, “is the doctor who could not borrow money to finance his ski chalet near Collingwood.” While other real estate firms have been taken over lately by trust com- panies, Thomas N.

He thinks higher levels are possible at Buttonville and members of his group have even been able to put their ideas to the test. He says someone smuggled them into the airport and the airport officials would love to know who it was.

Markham Mayor Tony Roman reiterated his position that the local muncipality should have control over the location or expansion of airports within their boundaries.
