families in number and many who have lived here for over dozen years one in particular that had been in the park for 20 years surely the term tran sient does not apply Many are retired people otmeanswho do not wish to spend their hard earnedsavings on more costly modes of living Some are young couples just getting start oth ersiilre ourselves near middle age who want to live quietly and pursuo our various occupations and when the time comes to re tirein comfortable paid for home our nvrovn lt mlghtrsurprlsethe people Tessés LETTERS To THE EDITOR who dont want this park to pend on presently owned prop crty tolrnow that over three million people in the USA live in mobile homes and over 300 000 people in Canada live in mo bile homes Actually lest year one in four home sold in the USA was mobile home These units castng from $8000 to $12 000 In Canada are sold to people who can afford to buy them and preicr to live in them To any that theview of the park is detrimental to the ad iacent property and the tenants who live here aremainly trm lent and for that reason pos sibly or questionable character borders on discrimination In my view As mentioned before why not look into the facts instead ongreiudging property owne op erator of this park and the ten ants who live here bring con slderable revenue to the city at marrietand have done so for many years it seems shame that this business should he lint itcd because of the shortsight edness of law who seem to be unfoundly biased in their views Remember we who live in moblln homes do so by choice not by circumstances We con tribute to the local taxes and we also have any in munici pal elections thanks to the citi zens of Barrie who approved the vote for mobile home owners in ihelast election We hear so much about
