T8 Tl Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, January 14, 1976 WipUe Ouf oAg*%reemenf Wifh h eveloper Who Failied fo Meef Terms A bylaw regarctîng an agree- -ment between the Miistry of Housing and Northdown Homes Incorporated of Bow- mhanville was Tabled Jan. 5 by Newcastle Council on second reading. The tabling motion on the second reading was introdu- ced by Coun. Kirk Entwisle who reported to council he had received word that the agree- ment between the Ministry and the developer had fallen through. Coun. Entwisle had been advised by Planning Director George Howden that a Mr. Manson of the Ministry had reported failure of, the develo- per to complete certain terms of the agreement by Dec. 31 which makes the agreement defunct. The bylaw was therefore tabled to allow the clerk to obtain such information in writing through Mr. Howden. Somne Confusion Exists Over G"Ift Procedures Among recommendations forwarded to Newcastle Coun- cil from December Committee meetings Jan. 5 evening was one from the Community Services Committee of Dec. 15. The recommendation re- garded approving a certain ,um for tZ purchase of a retiremeat gift from the town for Orono Deputy-Fire Chief Gord Watson. Couni. Ivan Hobbs remark- ed, as the gift has already been purchased and presented ta Mr. Watson at a banquet Dlecember 7th, that if wouid be nice if such matters could corne before council prior to the occasion. ,Coun. Kirk Entwisle, who Stili goîng strongc and wiFlI be throuhu January.tcfrth money-saviflg spejcais and clearanoes! aiong wîtn Coun. Ken Lyl voiced disappointment in not having been invited to the presentation, concurred with Coun. Hobbs' concern. Coun. Don, Alun, former chairman of the Commuaity Services Committee advised that a short time factor had been involved without waiting for council approvai. As f0 certain councillors not having been invited, Coun. Alin advised that he, as chairman of the committee at that fime had been requested to attend along with Mayor Rickard as represeatatives of the Town. That explanation seemed to satisfy Coun. Lyall and Coun. Entwîsle.
