erect the fence When this was still not done bylaws officer wrote a letter to the towns planning committee asking for guidance in the matter It was at this point Councillor said that Mr Mortson should be treated the same as anyone else in the town He should be forced to erect a fence because thats what the bylaw says she said Then Councillor Bob in troduced a motion requesting the bylaws officer to
