Of course one of the brighter events was the 'ini- tiation -of our 27 grade 9 students. The 8th of Sep- tember we had them dress up in comic costumes for half a day. - At 'noon the yearbook had these poor souls auctioned off as slaves; the "auction 'brought over $100. The highest bid was from Barry VanCamp: who paid a meager $28. for his sister!1? It just goes to show he is a philanthropist at heart.

Councillor Reg Rose said the provision for sidewalks in. the subdivision agreement should stand because 'people in fact do want sidewalks, if not now, then.in a few years." BOWLING WEEK * Five pin bowlers will be pleased to learn thatthe week of November 6 - 12 has been declared Bowling Week by Scugog Township. The council made the decision on a request by Dave Rider, president of Ontario Durham Five Pin Bowling Association. APARTMENTS . .. Should an apartment building be classified as residen- tial or commercial for the purpose of collecting township levies and fees? \ Building inspector Robert Kenny raised the question before council Monday afternoon with 3 to the 60-unit apartment building proposed for the north end of Port Perry. TH Mr. Kenny pointed out that if it is considered commer- cial property, the one per cent development fee on the $1.7 million building would amount to $17,000 for the township coffers. If considered residential, however, the $40 per unit fee on the 60 unit building would bring in only $2,400. Council decided on the latter because the land is zoned residential. ; : . NO KITCHENETTES ; Steps were taken by council to ensure that a proposed 8-unit motel at Union and Shanley Streets is used as a motel only, and not for permanent residences. Council agreed with a report from Building Inspector Robert Kenny that kitchenettes not be allowed in the 24 by 12 units, and that this provision be part of any future site plan agreement between the builder and the Township. On the same property, council waived the $1,000 lot levy on the land severance because the property is commercial. While doing this, council at the same time will demand that the builder spend about $1,000 to repair the sidewalk in front of the building and put in a covered storm sewer. i g BUILDING PERMITS The rate of construction in Scugog Township is: down substantially over last year. Building Inspector Robert Kenny told council that so far this year about 250 permits have been issued, and there is 'no way" the figure of 454 permits issued in 1976 will be reached by the end of this year. ; GARBAGE EXEMPTION ; A request by seven cottage owners at Emmerson's Beach to be exempted from tax assessment for garbage collection was granted. Council agreed to the written request because no garbage pick-up has been made in the "area for the past two years. oof o SES ASTANA i 0 REN ITA'S q ¢ Hairstyling Show ~~ & CAMP SAMAC LODGE & 0 1711 Simcoe Street North 0 ¢ September 26 0 7pm.t0o10 pm. 0 Fashions by "Val's Place" of OR FESS Fe) Tickets available at Renita's 58 » bo A U O.
