Jack Stollar Barrie builder and developer Mr Stolar said story in the newspaper Saturday gave false impression of housing conditions industrial development and com munity life in Barrie Market conditions for selling houses in the city he said are similar other municipalities in the province and prices are substantially lower than larger municipalities closer to Toronto You simply cant get similar accommodations in larger muni cipalities in the Toronto area for the 31¢ price as you pay in Barrie said Within few months to year townhouses in these other municipalities will cost about $00000 because of the demand for housing Mr Stollar said many of the boroughs and municipalities in the Toronto area have serious latk of residential land In North York he said lots without houses er selling for at least $50000 over twice the price of lot in Barrie If people leaves Barrie and are looking for less expensive housing theyll find themselves on the other side of Hamilton he said The problem in the Barrie housing market he said is that number of large developments went up at the same time TATER TO CONDIUTERS The type of homes in the de JACK STOLLAIK £5 £5 £5 CLAIMS CITY MAYOR ARCH BROWN velopments he said cater com muters but now the market has slumped because the high cost of gasoline has cut down the num ber of commuters The only thing we can do is promote more industry in the area he said This is the most important thing to make indus trial land and concessions avail able for development filr Stollar said the city has to acquire more industrial land to make it more attractive for in dustries to locate in Barrie Industrial land in Toronto he said is selling for about $110000 an acre Arch Brown owner of the Bar rie Canadian Tire Store is very upset by the article in the Tor onto paper Mr Brown said he read the story while flying home from Sweden this weekend Something like this has to be damaging to the C01THTIIIIII ty he said People often for get exactly what is said in any speech or article but they re member the image which is con eyed Mr Brown is concerned about the future development of the city because his store is in the midst of an expansion from the downtown area to the Bayfield Mall The expansion will make his store the larget single retail outlet north of Toronto he says In prenaer gtttcmcnrt Mr Brown lashed out at Mayor Dor ian Parker who was quoted as opposing development in the city Its the most damaging piece of journalism prepared under the sponsorship of our head of local government that Ive ever seen written on Barrie he said Mr Brown said instead of op posing growth in the city Mayor Parker should act as an am bassador for Barrie She has responsibility to the citizens he said Ile attacked her statement as an election campaign topic say ing she is wily political inan oeuvier who supplirts local mili tant minority groups The article could in fact put curse equal to the Port Ilope radiation Scare on the real es tate market in the city he said Mr Brown questioned whether many people Will buy houses in the community after reading the article or whether many in dustrial leaders will look to Bar rie for future expansion industrial commission has been selling Barrie for past few years to number of industries he said This puts lot of the work down the drain Bob Hollywood industrial coni inissioner for the city doesnt agree Mr llollywcod said prospec tive industrial land purchasers can look at the article two ways either with quick glance for ming ideas about the quality of life or with more research ill to the area DOESNT REFLECI The article doesnt reflect the positive side of the picture very well he said Theres not black or white answer to whee ther the article will affect the future expansion of industrial growth in the city Mr Hollywood said Monday innning he was talking to small industry which is ready to start operating in the city as soon as possible guess thats the answer he said Many other smaller industries and businesses are attracted to the city he said because of the quality of life Barrie can offer employees Ile said some comments in the article are true especially con cerning the fact that wages are lower in Barrie than in Toronto Mr Hollywood said this does not mean Barrie employers are cheap or that the area is low wage section of the province City not disaster area civic leaders maintain The employers have to re main competitive he said This is competitive ago area It is also impossible to com pare Bartie to Toronto he said because both municipalities have different qualities to offer people Barrie is helluva long way from ever being Toronto he said SLIGHTLY DEPRESSED Ken Miller past presdent of the Barrie Real Estate Board said the housing market is in slightly depressed date in the city he said The market is not all that bad Mr Miller said in 1975 the board made 863 sales valued at about $36 million through the multiple listing service This compares to 458 sales for $18 million in 1974 He said part of the problem with housing is that everything is becoming little more ex pensive from loaf of bread to case of beer Im still optimistic about 1976 he said think well have good year Peeple still have to have housing Mr Miller said people can af ford to buy housing in the city if they look around and are will ing to take something like townhouse Remember its still much better to buy than to rent he said Besides theres not much in the way of renal accomoda in the way of rental accommo dations around in the city 1w BOB HOLLYWOOD Cock and bull story Lies lies lies says Mayor Dorian Parker May or Parker said story which appeared in lcr onto newspaper Saturday was very detrimental mislead ing and incorrect She said the story did not contain anything she had told the reporter about the future growth of the city and commuter residents in Barrie Ill attempt to get it corrected but doubt if itll be any good she said Mayor Parker was reported as saying she is glad the gasoline and energy crisis will stop the future develop ment and growth of the city Monday the mayor said this is incorrect She said she is in favor of planned development and growth of the CllV lhe Simcoc Georgian Area Task Force is recom mending the city he allowed to expand to 125000 in the next 30 to 40 years Its little hiin for me she said But with care ful planning can live with it Thats planning for peo ple and not necessarily special interest groups Mavor Parker said the energy crisis in Canada will eventually dictate who can and cannot commute to work She said the crisis is limiting commuting to within 30 miie radius of any municipality Im not against commuters she said And think that we should not only try to keep the people here but give them jobs in the city so they could live here GETS SUPPORT Oxlani representative Gret ta Vermuelen dropped by Ma or Dorian Parkers office to receive official support from the city at Barrie for Oxfams program of relief funds 0x fam currently has booth in tho Bayficld Mall canvassint to raise funds for needed ma terials like plasterofparis and gauze bandages emergency sanitation systems and plastic shooting for the emergency shelter of 30000 people in Gua temala Examiner Photo not believed by judge Provincial court Judge Joiin Anjo rejected what was termed cockandbull story about mysterious third party and found Peter Nelson Bailey of Toronto guilty of armed robbery Mon day and sentenced him to five years in penitentiary Bailey along with Jacqueline Monetie of Toronto was charg cd with the Ilalloween night rob bery of Beckers Milk Store on Maple Avenue in Barrie Miss Moneite had earlier pleaded guil ly to the charge and had been sentenced to two years less day in prison Bailey was arrested by But ric police after being called to the Brookdale Inn by Geoffrey ltodway who had seen the cri me committed Mr todway te stified he had stopped at the Beckers store about 1030 pm Oct 31 to buy cigarettes It wasnt until got right to the counter that hccamc ware of man standing there wearing Ilalloween mask and pointing gun at the man and woman behind the counter said Mr Rodway At first thought it was prank but then noticed in othcr person behind the counter emptying the fill and tearing the telephone off the wall The man with the gun said Iiicry body lie down on Ilic floor then they left Mr Rodways wife linriifcr was waiting outside the store in their car and she saw the bandits leave They were carry ing white plastic but and Mrs Rodwoy noticed them stuf fing something in the bag as they paused by the door They then ran down Maple towards Dnnlop When Mr Iiodnay got into the car they evnigirrrl rows and drove towards Dnnlop looking for the robbers umin the robbers would have used the al leyways Mr Iodwav went west on Dnnlop then turned up Mary Street and spotted lwo peope ionchlv matching tht dos cription of the robbers outside the liquor store COULDNT BE SURE couldnt be sure it was Ihem testified Mrs Rodwnv but noticed white plastic butt and the rcrmetl to be mov ing some coverings from their faces when first saw them My husband stopped the car and not out to chase them when they howled west on Dnnlop Mr Railway follower the two uttple who started running when they noticed him behind them He caught up to one who show ed to walk while the other ran ahead At this point he had good look at the man and identified him as Bailey who was sitting in the prisoners dock When caught him didnt say anything but he said some thing like Get the hell away from me said Mr Itodway just walked along with him until we got to the Brookdale and he went to one of the rooms and called the police from the main office went back outside and saw the man standing outside his room and he asked me if wanted to come in and talk I0 him said no When police arrived Mr Rod way showed them which room Bailey was in but they were un able to open the door It was not lockable door since it led only to foyer so police forc ed the door and found Bailey holding it from the inside They also saw Miss Monette at the top of stairway and Constable Raymond Bourne ran up to at rest her grabbed her around the waist testified Constable Bou rne and when did noticed something hard in her pants Turning her around found pistol and pulled it out of her pants and at the same time dollar bill came out IAGGED THE PISTOL Constable Bourne had tagged the pistol and identified it when presented as evidence The own ers of the Beckers store Mr and Mrs Deun Chur Kim had not been able to identify the pis tol Speaking through Korean in terpreter early in the trial they had only been able to contribute the fact that $378 was stolen As to identifying the robbers Mr Kim had said that their fac cs were covered and to him all North Americans looked alike 0f the money stolen police only recovered $88 this hid den in the crotch of Miss Mon ettes pants The masks used in the holdup and the balanco of the money were never found Bailey then took the stand in his own defence and told story of third party in the holdup whom he refused to identify for fear of his own safety Bailey on parole after serving prev ious sevenyear sentence for robbery with violence had been heading for Vancouver with Miss Monette because he knew there was province wide warrant for his arrest on charge of parole violation Ile had be told not to leave the Toronto area Ile had visited his mother in Collingwood who had given him money for the train tickets plus some extra total of $320 He and Miss Monette then took the bus to Barrie and checked into the Brookdale as Mr and Mrs Wright using identifictr lion stolen from Nancy Wright of Toronto They went to the Wellington Hotel 00 have beer and met friend of Baileys from pli son The three returned to the Bmokdale where they smoked some marijuana and took val iety of tranquilizer pills which Miss Monette had obtained on prescription in Collingwood WANTED SOME MIX Bailey said one of the three had bottle of liquor and they wanted to go get some mix They headed towards the Beckers but when they got as far as the liquor store Bailey said he had to Sit down and clear his mind out 50 Miss Monette and the third party went on The next thing he knew Miss Monette was back telling him to hurry up and get going back to the Brookdale Why didnt you tell police bout the third man asked do fence counsel Kevin Carrol Because Ive seen what hap pens to stoolpigeons replied Bailey Ive been in prison and Ive seen people hurt or killed because they squealed on some one else MASKS NEVER FOUND In summing up Mr Carrol pointed out that the masks had never been found and most of the money reported stolen was still missing He also questioned identification of the robber men tioning that the only positive id entificaiion of Bailey came dur ing the chase am not asking you to be lieve Baileys story just accept it is possible for there to have been third man involved since there is no proof Bailey was act ually in the store concluded Mr Carrol What we have here is cock andbull story about myster ions third person whom Bailey refuses to identify for fear of his own safety said Crown Attorn ey Thompson suggest Mr Bailey would have been lot better off if he had told police the identity of the third person because if the story is tnie he would not be here today Although the evidence is all circumstantial it has built wall around the accused and the only way the facts can fit is if he committed the rob bevy Well wont keep you in sus pence said Judge Anjo dont believe word of your story The timing of the rob bery on llalloween night with train tickets to Vancouver the next day is simply too well plan ned And there are too many in consistencies between your story Miss Monettes and the ev idence of the Rodways As to the missing money and masks suggest Miss Monette could have disposed of them while you were holding the doom
