hack waiting to see whether Mr Kinzie plans to run again believe both would like to run for the mayors chair but are hesitant until Mr Kinzie makes move Mr Jolilie added that he thought there were not enough active aldermen on city coun cil It seems to me and Im sure to others that only few do most of the talking TAKES ISSUE Without divulging his com LIEDI attempts to nullify permission granted to builder to con struct apartments here in stead of council facing up to the fact that nothing could be done to deny the builder the go ahead on this project the mayor and some members of council exhibited the ultimate in gall by appealing to this man to stop work on the al ready started buildings Another point rankling hlr Joliffo was the failure of both the Mayor and Alderman Cooks to participate in the deciding vote and discussion on the re cent motel issue in Barrie So what if the mayor rum rcs taurant and Los Cooke runs halfbaked service station It seems that they will use any

anyone Im sure other members will agree to you Wi ll specific wording he said Dr Ed Wilson PUC mem ber told the committee that in his estimation the entire report was unacceptable since it did nt give advantages or disad vantages of either sewer rats or levy against assessment It is not your prerogative to reach decision invthis mat ter he said you were to act strictly as factfinding com mittee and this wasnt done in the report Alderman Cooke who chaired the meeting referred to the use of the word desir able as it appeared in Mr Giggs report He pointed out that theuse of the word was bothering some members of the joint committee particularly those from the PUC and there seems to be general agreement on the part of technical com mitteemen that the word poss ible is more corect one Mr Cooke attempted to get the meeting back on the track by suggesting that the report be studied item by item attempt was made in this dir ection but those present he came embroiled in discussions and arguments on the relative merits of sewer rate and tax rate financing according to pen sonal views rather than ac cording to the report meeting if there is any great urgency in the matter He added that the experts of both bodies could get together and prepare charts and tables that could be studied to permit those present to get better understanding of the entire sit nation There is only one thing we An are all interested in he said and that is to provide the best possible system at the cheap est cost to our taxpayers Dr Wilson said that many of the things said at the meet ing were foreignto me He added he wasnnt in any posi tion to arrive at decision and would like to see it turned back to the special technical com mittee for further study and report Dr Wilson nude motion to
