We are not condemning council m this matter in any respect. The Interest should lay with the mer- chants and with the townspeople who have the interest of their property at stake. How many have taken advantage of the fact that the zoning bylaw as it now stands is open to mspecuon by the Publis? The cold truth us that placttcr ally no one has bothered to even go and Inquire about n, yet the value of every person's property at Waterloo depends on this by- law and any amendment that may be enacted, Why not make it a point of checking it now before It's too late to do anything about It. At the present ttrue Waterloo's shopping area is not suffiiciently large or varied tu attract the av. craze housewife out to do her week-end shopping Women spend mast of the money that stores take m and women like to shy? . Do any of you merchants know what the zoning bylaw entails? Do you care? Do any of you know that there IS an amendment to this bylaw prepared and ready for paging try City C9urtei). There is no time like the Mres- ent to remedy this condition-and It can be remedied There are some good men on the present council, and these men will go along with progressive ideas- provided they have them present- ed to them in an Intelligent man- ner. This is up to the retail mer- chants. They are the ones who stand to gain the most from an up-to-date retail area and they also stand to lose the most if algae improvements are not made. The more we dig into it. the more convinced we are that un- less the present retail merchants take the bit in their teeth, so to speak, and make an effort to get some of the larger chain stores lo- cated in Waterloo, and have downtown sections included in the zoning bylaw, the more con- vmced We are that more and more trade will go to Kitchener; until eventually the Waterloo retail area wi just become a place where buyers will do small bits of shopping they have forgotten to do in Kitchener.
