Hobbs Town~. l Cou neillor Doctor Ken- neth C. Hobbs Tuesday night made it clear if the Royal Rovers Trailer Club, of which* lie is a mem ber, has to pay at the rate of $3-00 per trailer unfit per nighit forithe use of Heydcnishore Park, the Rover club won't coic to Whiitby againi. The $3 bid turned uip iii the report of t'own recreationi director Gerry Gellette as the suggestcd rate of parking for al trailers usinig the park. 'it's obviaus ta rie tlhe director of recreation hasn't corne ta me ta ask and sanie lretty pertinent questions concerning the club," accused Hobbs, explaining that there are "two group types using Heydensliore, those who arrive Friday and head' out Sunday und those who stay longer."' The 'carnival, rallies wil whichi lie and tow n treaisurer ,Forbès. Me- Ewan have been con- nected, have been coin- ing ta Whitby since I1967 lie said. -"And they (Roy- al Rovers) hiave made the Town of Whitby known throughout the continental United His Trailers States, Mexicoa'and AI- aska."' ."If we pass this recoin- inendation tonight then the burden is off my chest, as we won't corne ta Whiitby, we'll go else- where." lt's not worth $30 for ten nights. Reminding fellow counicillars that thiere are certain miunicipali- tics thriving on' trailers, lie suggested "Rover RaI- ly trailer people spenci while they're hierc and shop downtown. If you pass this you'lI kilI1 it and here there's no0 way you can afford ta." We don't hiave rnany services at Heydenshore and we're not complain- ing but we çan't afford that price. "Put in sew- ers and put in water s0 we can -utilize oui air candi tioners." H-e ,,lsoacri 'ticized.Hey- dcnishore Pavilion saiying the trailergroup couldn't afford ta go there. "But I-lydenishorc hiolds na attractionis'for aur parti- c.ular groLIp," he'said. Appealing council not ta, endorse the recrea- tion director's recom- mendation he said, "I1 are Leavi»ngý ..Unless resent it. We're not scav-' e ngers and reernber there are other muni- cipalities." Acting mayor Reeve Tom Edwards permitted a. rebuttal fromf Director of Recreation Gerry Gel- lette asking lîim, why this matter was being debated in open- council ratherthan in comrnittee. "We have 'discussed this nany times. We have debated it at every level of council and at every other level," said Gel- lette. "I ar n ot overly cancerned with the arnount of money being when we receive tele- phone calis and letters of inquiry from trailer groups, 1 would' like ta, be able to give thern ac- cLirate prices and would like to be able' to kn'ow there is a' policy set up without having ta make it up ais I go along." "As it is now they ail pay- différent prices," ,he said. At this point Reeve Edwardls closeci ail de- bate on the topic re- ferring the matter" ta council's operation com- mittee for further dis- cussion.
