packages of Cloths into shopping carts taking advantage of the 25 cent special One stopped turned to the other and said What am buying any ways It was bargain madness as thousands of shoppers crowded into the new Cana dian Tire Store in the Bayfield Mall Wednesday morning Shoppers packed the store then formed 50foot long lineups at the cheek outs with shopping carts full of JCloths garbage bags soap and swimming pools Yes the sixfoot diameter childrens pools were on special too and were selling rapidly Store owner Arch Brown WHAT GOES IN must come out and the check outs at Canadian Tire were described opening day as fantastic He could give no estimate of the number of people who were in the store but the lineups were several hundred strong when the store opened at 10 am The JCloths which werent advertised didnt last long but the garbage bags were in sufficient quantities to last all day On the advertised spe cials said Mr Brown we brought in lots of stock so they wouldnt run out We sold lot of bicycles The escalators in the store caused couple problems but neither was serious The department of health and we quite agree ruled shopping carts cant be taken on the escalators said Mr Brown Some people were afraid to leave their full shop about the busiest part of the store Wednesday Even with all checkouts work ping carts downstairs for fear of losing them What we have in mind after the opening is over is marshalling area downstairs where people can safely leave their shopping carts The other problem was that the escalators were shut off for half an hour in the after noon Mr Brown said it ape peared someone pushed the emergency stop button and the only two people who had keys to turn the escalators back on were out of the store He said it wont happen again Otherwise he said everything went smoothly One of the advantages of the new store is perimeter warehousing he said Ihe floor plan allows all merchan dise to be stored in the im mediate vieinity of the area ing lineups extended well into the store and reached where it is to be sold and makes for quicker replace ment of articles on the shelves Mr Brown said that although Canadian Tire is not the largest retailer in the country it is the largest warehousing store He said the store policy is to keep large quantities of merchair disc in stock so the Store doesnt run out Canadian Tire is the largest retailer in the lines it does sell and Mr Brown said the store is the largest retailer of hockey equipment in the western world Mr Brown said that the comments he heard about the new store from staff and customers were generally good He said he is pleased with the store and most peo ple in it Wednesday were too Ex 50 feet in aminer Photo length Carrying the flags and wearing the costumes of

system temporary applying natural justice rather than strict legalism and not driving the private sector out of the rental business arc high on Bob Bentleys list of priorities as managing rciit review officer for Simcoe ounty and Muskoka District he told the Huronia Chapter of the Ap praisal Institute of Canada Wednesday He said he and his col leagues are working hard to make certain the review system ends as scheduled Aug 1977 This he said means being neither too hard on landlords which would drive some out of the field and set tenants up for massive rcnt hikes when the review program ends nor too hard on tenants which would create demand for longerlasting and more stringent controls In some respects he said he is more powerful than supreme court judge in Im very sorry that its go ing to change but guess this is progress With these words Jeff White an area resident for 24 years said he would not ob ject to two plans of subdivi sion on land east of Anne Street and north of St Marys Cemetery Mr White who owns pro perty separating the two sub divisions said when he bought his property in 1952 in Vespra Township he never considered the possibility it might become four housing lots in Barrie in 1970 He said he and his wife are not prepared to divide their property and develop it but he is not objecting to his neighbors plans dont like it but cant that for example he can disregard certain financing costs in landlords expense claim which may legally be claimed for tax purposes but which do not fairly reflect the real cost to the landlord He said the program should help drive fast buck oper ators out of the rental business promote understan ding of landlords problems on thc part of tenants and make landlords kecp better track of their business Mr Bentley said he operates in most cases on costpassthrough basis with no concern for the landlords rate of return on his invest ment Since only added operating costs can be added to rents he said profit figures will in most cases remain the same in dollars and decline as percentage of rents charged However he said land lord whose building is losing more may increase rents enough to break even He said one major area in which he has cut back re quested rent hikes is over public meeting for thc tWo plans have to go along witliit The plans arc for 31 single family detached lots by lack Stollar Construction Ltd south of Ciindles Road and 18 single family lots by Bill lortcr north of St Marys cemetery Ihe board accepted the plan and sent it to city council for approval Mr White said the site is one of the last naturally wooded areas left in the city He said he moved to the site in 1952 to get away from peo ple Id like to maintain thc tranquility there and wish things could stay as they arc he said But lhcrcs possibility of change in at oppose it he said during titudc estimated municipal taxes He emphasized that the program is one of rent review and not rent control with rent increases only coming before the board if one party re quests it or if they are more than cight per cent He said the eight per cent guideline is often mis uiidcrstoml and is nothing more than line dividing the responsibility for making an application Landlords must apply for review of increases above eight per cent he said and tenants may apply for review of lesser increases Mr Bentley said he has succeeded in his attempt to keep hearings informal as long as all parties behave civilized and has never had to insist on formal pro cedures lhe Appraisal Institute of aiiada is governing and accrmliting body and profes sional association for real estate appraisers The lluronia chapter with about 110 members takes in Sim coe and lrcy count ies Resident sought privacy cant oppose development He said hc was approached by an interested party for road allowance across his property to join the two sub divisions But he said no permission can be given until he contacts his wife vacationing in England The Whites arc eo owners of the land Wcrc considering it the offer he said might be able to tell you in few weeks The two plans join with another subdivision by Res Developments Ltd on the west side of
