slackness says Bert Van Der llcydeii new president of the Harrie and District Huilders Association hief cause for his optimism is the approach of the Dec municipal election which he says is likely to give Harrie ti ty council tnore friendly to growth than the present couir cil think that after this elecv tion youre going to see things move again in Harrie he says think that the current couir cil has held Harrie back Mr Van Der lleydeii who officially takes over the reins of the newlyrenamed association next month says there are other grounds for optimism as well including general tip turn in the economy Hut municipal policies play big role he says and changes arcduc For one thing would like to see them go out and see if we can get industry he says Once we get industry people will follow Planning policies too have been too slow for the size of the city he says The sooner they realime that Barrie is growing city and not little town like it used to be the sooner everything will speed up
