Curfew curtains caucus The Freo Press February 16 B3 su OUR READERS WRITE I On Esquesing council strip Ave Toronto Ontario Dear Sir Deputy Reeve Tom Hill statement regarding a ninety minute private meeting With Municipal Affairs Minister Dircy we know a lot more now than we did before is indeed the most comical utterance yet to come out of a member of the Council After reading issues of your paper I only had to look at the column to the left of tins one Acton Free Press February 1 1 to further verify my assumption This column gives an account of how G Thompson a Georgetown propertyowner a literal alien to township if you were to believe Reeve Curric two weeks ago was given the unprecedented right to speak for ten minutes to the council Two weeks ago an Acton resident wanted to speak against the drag strip and he was old to quote Reeve Currie We don mind Acton business and let s hope they don mind ours If Mr Marshall thought arranging for Mr Thompson to speak on behalf of the prodrag strip faction was going to be of some good it is amusing that his plan backfired Mr Thompson told council that he dragsters and the spectators presuming he meant both are not the grubby grease monkey types he had never seen any drinking or drugs being used at any of the strips he had visited and that they get their kicks from cars He also continues by saying that hey his family had tried camping at Cayuga once but had been refused permission and that camping at Mo spur l had been discontinued because of drinking parties Mr Thompson I though you said that these people get their kicks cars you should hac slopped while you were ahead When Mr Thompson said that lie had tried at Cayuga once but was refused permission did he to camp on someone property a the race track or where The land around the proposed Golden Horseshoe Dragway would be impossible police A lot of this land is wooded and surveillance would be difficult I have suggestion however for Mr Thompson t he purchase Peter Bowman s house at today market value tint is the value before the surveyors stakes went in He would gel his fill of drag racing from Ins window it he lias no objection to wearing a gas mask And he would get an added bonus He would lien be an I squcsmc Township This thai bee of lack representation he will ivc garble quarries Wrecking yards drag strips bylaws llnl are not worth a damn It is interesting to tint Reeve would not a person on petition objecting the dragway if that person hid a Georgetown or Aeton address Has he come to the conclusion that this dragway is going to affect more than a handful of people or is he being influenced by Mr Marsh ill once again Yours truly William Thomas Complains about races The Editor Acton Free Press Sunday Skidoo race was a poorly organized race The event be on the ice in the first place the corners t built up for that race While the Race wa- on other snowmobiles were running around the ice beside the track interfering with the raters and people were standing too close to the icks Before the race hey said the rules apply as set by the but I saw lew drivers obeying these rules If here should be a race the future hope the sponsors

secondary schools represent an increase of almost over list year and field trip expenditures In the elementary schools will be up pet by over the 1969 expenditure The extra money allowed lor held trips is a part planned investment to allow the student more first hand experience Trips to local points of factories etc make up part of the program It costs 56 cents per student per mile for

respond to the question Only By their constitution ihcy must hands were counted and receive a two thirds majority in a to continue As- the vote to continue any meeting vote wis i beyond II council finished their presentation and left the room and in the confusion many members aware the vc had been called When Doug Wood proceeded to call for a second vole Burlington trustee raised a point of order and after much deliberation it was decided that not only could not continue the meeting but they could not go into committee of the whole Because the meeting agenda earned several items that had to be dealt with a special meeting had to be slated for Friday at much to the consternation of several members Trustee John they continue with must items and leave the rest to next meeting find this somewhat ridiculous and I feel we should deal with he matters at hand now This should be dt not as a procedural thing but is simply a praclicil one His suggestion brought support from several members Vicechairman Bill suggested to ignore procedure now cause chaos it some later date Trustee Harold Thorpe noted the said the next meeting would be at the cull of the chairman and he wondered if they could adjourn and meet again at 11 IS at the call of the chair Debate continued for a Tow mm before the second meeting was scheduled for the following night On his way out of the room trustee Bruce Edwards retorted I hope all those who voted against continuing show up tomorrow night Sixteen it tended the Friday night meeting POPULAR A farmer mule fatally kicked the farmer mother in law A
