He stated that the Munici- pality of Port Perry has the right to close the said street but subject to any compensation which might be claimed by the owners of adjacent properties and that if the said road allow- ance is sold, the owners of pro- perty abutting the proposed parcel of land to be sold have the first right to purchase it. Mr. Harris pointed out: 1. That two lots could be sold fronting on Elgin Street. 2. The water service leading to the Misses Harris' property crosses the said section of Elgin Street. 3. There is a natural water course down Elgin Street in this particular area. 4. A solution might be arrived at if a strip of land is re- tained along the South side 'of the road allowance to serve as a private driveway for the Misses Harris. It was explained by Council that they have a prospective buyer for the road allowance to erect a new home but after hearing the objection to the closing of the Westerly portion of Elgin Street, it was decided to leave the matter as is and let the persons concerned ar- rive at an agreeable solution. ~~ AMENDMENTS for discus- sion re Parking By-Law #1216.

ARLE PRL BY nd he RT LF AEE TEEPE : URN Lay ung \ p CARNAL A elt ALA 5 . PIERSON ERM LRT SENS find it necessary to discontinue the service at the end of March unless some concrete support is shown. The retainer of $200.00 and past obligations have been met to the best of our ability. Upon discussing this situa- tion with the doctors, the hos- pital board, also a cross survey by phone of the actual residents, we still feel our stand on this matter is justified. I would be willing to talk on a per capita basis of possibly 30c. per person, which would leave your balance for the year at approx. $600.00. We have decided after checking the rates in all surrounding towns that we will not make any increase at the present time. With the protection this ser- vice provides when sickness or accident strike, I feel this is cheap insurance. I urge you gentlement to take a more serious look at this situ- ation, and give the matter your utmost consideration at this immediate time. Thanking you, I remain. RESOLUTION: Moved by Bruce Beare, seconded by I. W, Parkinson, that this Council agrees to subsidize the Brignall Ambulance Service to the value of $4.00 per call for all calls in the Village of Port Perry, pro- vided he first raises his rates as recomended by Port Perry Council and the Port Perry Chamber of Commerce with a maximum subsidy of $500.00 per year being allowed.
