Barrie Preliminary budget discus sions of minor nature are ex pected to take place tonight following the regular meeting of Barrie city council Council members will be ask ed for suggestions of priority items which should be included in the 1980 budget discussion The suggestions would likely be of minor improvement scale in different wards since items of major consequence would already be included by administrative staff The matter is routine one which comes about each year says Ald Alex Arthur The session itself follows general committee meeting to be held immediately following the city council gettogether An item likely to draw some discussion is the recommenda tion that special reserved park ing spaces for the handicapped not be aDDroved KlM AMON Administration says that with the high cost of parking territory combined with the likelihood the spaces would not be used too often the proposal should be thrown out special committee is now looking at the possibility of starting

are beating around the bush think that Canada will follow the US in the manner in which hey handle these at fairs dont think they should sell Petrocan when it is making money especially when it was loosing money before It seems darn shame to build something up and then get rid of it They should give the old age pen sioners more money because everything is going up and up tion before This is the first time have even fired it he said Although the shoot attracted mainly local marksmen Beltor said some turkey shoot en thusiasts travel quite exten sively to similar events during the fall If they have good gun it makes it worthwhile he said honestly believe they littthange are trying to control situa tion that was left out of con trol They have been negative in some areas and overzealous in others such as Petrocan Just to get rid of somehhing is not the answer but do like the idea of it being sold to Canadians on the stock market KERSTENS hard to say It is hard to say right now how they have been doing as Trudeau left the government in mess dont like what they are doing with the em bassy in the Middle East And why sell PetraCan if it is making profit have not noticed big change in anything Inflation and the unemployment situa tion bo not seem to be any different vnt But thinkpeo ple shout gwe them chance though since they have not been in for year yet JAMES ROYAL not strong enough am disappointed with them so far feel they have handled PetroCan poorly They should have acted on it immediately However it is fairly early tojudge them Vic Belton one of the judges at Sundays
