Mr. Beath said this would hlp the taxpayers identify what they were paying for, but stressed that there should not be separate tax bis for each item as they would be Self serve gas bars anger local councillors Somne mernbers of Witby t Council are flot happy about ( the increased number of self- serve gas stations in this town. According to Councillor1 Joy Thonipson, they add to( the unemiployment problem1 because they do flot require' staff, and as a woman she resents having to pump gaso- line. Councillor Bob Carson ag- rees that women who are dressed up do not want to get dirty at gas bars, and feels that the oil corupanies are forcing self service on their custoners. Councillor Tom Edwards at a recent couincil meeting expressed concern about the self-serve trend and stated the counicîl had tried to seek legal action to stop the conversion of two gas stations in Whitby. However, the legal opinion presented to council said a municipal couincil does not have the riglit to say how a gasoline compafly serves gas, lie said. "Our lawyer very clearly said we didn't have the right to resist theni,"said, Councillor Edwards. Both Mayor Jim Gartshore and Councillor Carson said tliey did not use sefi-serve outlets, and Councillor Thorn- pson said it was untenable and obnoxious that a town coun- cil could, not control thern. Shie cô'ntended that citi- zens are " &becoming puppets on a string to the big business interests," and that. ôil com panies are only seeking in- creased profits with self-serve stations. Councillor Edwards said lie had been assured that the' oul companies would not con- vert ahl their operations to self-serve "because they rec- ognize that if self-service be- carne too big a part of their operation it wouId be self- defeating." Despite the protests, council approved site plan agreements for two service stations at TIiickson Road anc Dundas Street planned for conversion to self-serve op- eratio ns. not be accepted as donors.
