passed Barrie almost had an official noise control bylaw But Aid Alex Arthur doesnt want any headlines in todays Barrie Examiner saying Shhhh walk on tip toes Ald Arthur one of the major supporters of the bylaw said Barrie city police are responsi ble for enforcing it but they will use discretion City council gave the bylaw two readings Monday and sent it to the province for ap roval before the third an final reading Ald Arthur said the citys bylaw is based on quality or pe of noiseand not on actual bpcibel figures wherever possi This he said means the city does not have to buy expensive sound devices for control of noise He said council has the choice of leaving the situation as it is now with no controls of noise or passing the bylaw The Barrie Industrial Com mission has asked the city to hold any final approval until it has chance to review the bylaw Ald Arthur said the city will have to wait at least month before the province approves the bylaw and third reading can be given The maximum penalty for contravening the bylaw is fine of not less than $50 and not more than $1000 for first of fense Some of the general prohibi tions in the bylaw include rac ing any motorized vehicle tire squealing rating vehicles Without muf ers using horn or other warning device except where required and operation of construction equipment in Quiet Zone without muffling devices The bylaw also prohibits operating vehicle with trailer resulting in banging clank ing squealing or other like sounds and letting motor vehicle idle for more than five minutes There are also restrictions on selling or advertising by shouting or amplified sound loading unloading and pack ing detonation of fireworks or explosive devices discharge of firearms and persistent bark ing or whining of any domestic dog or other persistent noise making by any domestic pet And finally one could possibin be charged for yell ing shouting booting whistl ing or singing any time in quiet zone and between 11 pm and am Sundays am in residential areas Gadke showed up late so lost trial by jury The county court trial of Milton John Gadke began without jury Tuesday after the defendant showed up late Gadke who lives near Alliston is charged with the Oct 19 1975 assault on Harry Langley who lives in the same area When Judge AM Carter opened court at 10 am Gadke was not present His lawyer John Wrigley asked to be with drawn from the case He said he had informed Gadke of the trial date through the mans ther Budge Carter wouldnt accept this and directed Mr Wrigley to try to contact Gadke After several telephone calls the man was reached and he arrived in the courtroom just before noon But his tardiness meant he lost the right to jury trial Under changes in the Ontario Statutes an accused loses right to jury trial if he is late for the trial and cannot provide legitimate excuse Mr Wrigley argued that the apparent mixup in com munication constituted such an excuse but Judge Carter disagreed Judge Carter heard evidence from Langley his brother Vin ce Ontario Provincial Police Constable Dennis Dore and Dr John Derjamecz Harry Langley 58 said he had been hit and kicked by Gadke in the early morning of Oct 19 1975 He said Gadke had come to the trailer where he and his brother lived and had couple beer then hit him in the side of the face He said Gadke began kicking him after he fell to the floor Dr Derjamecz gave evidence regarding Langleys in juries He said there was ex tensive bruising on the left side of his face and the facial brones were broken Constable Dore investigated the incident and said he arrived at the Langley trailer about am He agreed with Dr Derjamecz about the injuries He mentioned that as he was leaving Langley began drinking beer Mr Wrigley crossexamined Langley extensively using the transcript of the preliminary hearing in April to Show con tradictions in the mans testimony John Murphy Crown at torney objected on several oc casions saying the questions asked in the lower court were often indadmissabie He said Mr Wrigleys extensive use of the transcript resulted in im proper questions being asked You are using the transcript as whip almost said Judge Carter That is not the pur pose of it It is to be used only where there is clear con tradiction Mr Murphy declined to call Vince Langley as prosecution witness an Mr Wrigley called him as witness for the defen ce However that meant he was unable to crossexamine him Mr Wrigley attempted to have Langley declared hostile witness so he could cross examine him but Judge Carter wouldnt agree The judge said it appeared to him that any ap parent hostility on Langleys part was probably due to inability to express himself Mr Wrigley asked for an ad journment to research law on the matter and the case was put over to today for com pletion Down road says Thompson as housing statement passes Barries housing policy statement is leading the city down the road to socialism says Ald Ed Thompson Ald Thompson told city coun cil Monday he is opposed to the policy statement prepared by the planning and development committee But the majority of city council did not agree with him and voted to accept the state ment Only Ald Janice Laking joined Ald Thompson voting against it Aid Thompson said it is social welfare housing policy telling the province and federal governments the city wants to use every grant dollar available How fast do we want to go down the road to socialism he asked think this is the recipe for going down the road The purpose of the policv statement was to review the ci tys housing situation while examining the various provin cial and federal grants for housing GRANTGRABBERS Ald Thompson said society is teaching people to rely on government grants making them grant grabbers with lust for assistance dont stand for that segment of people he said stand for the people who by the sweat of their brow bought their own houses He said he is concerned that the city is recommending using lesson in gavelhandling Seated left is Lorne Jacobs presidentelect for the 197778 term Standing are director Garry McCluskey left more taxpayers dollars for housing grants while some senior citizens are forced to sell their homes They are forced he said because they cannot continue payingtheincreasing costs Some people because of hardship handicap or misfor tune need help but others are using the system by choice dont think we want this housing policy he said Theres nothing in it for people to just put forward more of themselves to buy house USEFUL Ald Alex Arthur said he agrees with many of the com ments but would not vote against the statement because some of the proposed policies are useful Ald Arthur said the problem with government grants is that other taxpayers are paying It testifies to the failure of private enterprise he said It private enterprise is not able to provide housing for large segment of the population He said the city is not going to solve the housing problems and the housing policy is only passing the buck or should say bucks Id hate to see the building industry become dependent on government grants to build houses he said Ald Arthur said he totally disagrees with residential land bankin by thecityand wanted all re erence in the policy removed treasurer Ross Rolls secretary Ian Kerr director Mark Scharf and Ken Reimer lieutenantgovemor of Kiwanis District KIWANIS CLUB OF KEMPENFELT BAYOFFICERS But city council defeated proposed amendment to delete the land banking references Ald Paul Wessenger said the housing policy statement in cludes some new policies but also restates many of the existing housing policies in Barrie Aid Wessenger said the city has problem with the cost of housing and the policy is trying to deal with the problems LITTLE CHOICE He said municipalities have very little choice in how to en courage low cost housing and policies have to be made by the federal and provincial govern ments The Assisted Rental Program ARP which offers grants to municipalities and builders for rental units and Assisted Home Ownership Program AHOP which has grants for home buyers and municipalities are two methods of lowering costs The best program he said would be lowering interest rates for mortgages but the city has no control We created the high land costs as municipality by using planning he said This caused scarcity of land As soon as you have planning you have higher costs Ald Wessenger said the city should do something to solve the high cost problems But we have to work within the framework of the other government levels he said Huronia who inducted the new officers Tuesday Bob Hollywood and Gord Roach are also directors Ex aminerPhoto
