This totals 1256. Where do shoppers park?

This arrangement will certainly discourage people from leaving the enclosed mall to shop at long-established Weston stores, especially in foul weather.

Weston's businessmen gladly reim- burse shoppers who park in the John St. lot and patronize their stores. Will Lionstar be so generous? _ and John Sts.

The library steps start at the sidewalk now and the church doesn't have much space either. Mr. Singer says that it is not true that the library and the church will be razed. Is it true, therefore, that the library or the church will be razed? The fact that only King St., will be widened does not alter the situation where young children will be required to cross four lanes of traffic to reach King St. I take offense to the ac- cusation that the opposition "have launched a campaign of petition signing, letter writing, telephone calling and spreading of rumours." Surely Mr. Singer is aware that there are petitions circulating in favor of the proposal and letters Written approving his complex, including his own letter. No one has accused them of Also, how is it possible to widen King St., and still not on Jane St., nearNueens Drive and taturch St. If the aim of this development is to attract new business to Weston, surely residents of these apartments will want to shop in this new camplex tar. The obvious routes for these shoppers would be King St., and other internal matter what the situation. But because some members do not gather all the facts pertinent to some situations and because they hear views expressed that are contrary to theirs, they are ready to condemn and tear down the foundation of the organization that has keen decisions.

Lionsfar For some reason or other he Was not taken to task, as was I, which can only lead me to conclude that my critics do not believe or reflect the Jrrivileges of our free and outspoken society. Fortunately the basis of a democratic country are brought together by issues such as this. At the meetings which I have chaired. all members of the associates have been shut the opportunity _,to voice their opinion on the subject at hand. Un- tortmataiy the Chairman of the meeting is not allowed to voice his opinion, only tn cast a deciding Note if needed. The only manner in which I could state my feelings was in an open letter to the editor of this paper, which was signed as a private citizen. Because the paper took the liberty to add "Preaident of the Ratepayers Association” which was retracted in their last issue, is no reason why I should be held at fault. -Mr. Higgins the Vice President of the Ratepayers Association has Somewhat fallen into the same category and he also, like myself, has voiced his personal opinions in open letters. _ tg1tlg tt gtt,t' of “We speech which abound Illa! one 'to m In: minions Without t,'reo2tSgtT,ttl,.
