to await more formal comments from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment The building proposed by develo Jack Stollar would lie wit in 800 feet of Highway 400 and thus requires report from the ministry on the effects of highway noise on the project No report had been received at City Hall by Wednesday so planning board deferred action on the proposal until the report comes in The most vehement opponent of the building at Wednesdays meeting was James Hobbs who lives across the street Hobbs said he did not want highrise apartment building in his front yard He par ticularly objected

Vespra Township and in corporated as village in 1853 with population of around 800 The village became town in 1871 and was united in 1897 with the village of Allandale incorporated 1891 from Innisfil Township The enlarged municipality became city in 1959 However planning board member Roger Oatley told Hobbs building the apartments under the zoning bylaw would probably mean he would end up facing the building broadside rather than endwise as propos ed under the site plan No decision on apartments The property is already designated for highdensity dwelling units under the District amendment to the ci tys official plan Other residents expressed concern over the slope of the property and over excavations st tar has already done on the Paul Schulz who owns va cant lot two lots away from Stollars land said the site looks like the white cliffs of Dover To say it doesnt affect the neighbors is ridiculous he said noting however that he supports Stollars building pro posal Stellar said the excavations were to provide fit for another construction project and Were perfectly legal City planner Rick Jones agreed the excava tions were not in violation of zoning bylaws However Aid Janice Laking said in planning board discus sion of the project that she has heard the excavations have cut 38 feet into neighboring pro perty The rear half of the 27acre parcel rises sharply from Street level requiring considerable excavation for construction and parking and retaining walls are expected to be necessary to prevent the landscaped rear portion of the lot or neighbor ing properties from sliding The board asked for further in formation on how Stollar plans to deal with the problem Animals are crying even in Barrie The sight of dogs and cats be ing administered fatal injec tion is not pleasant one It was even more disturbing for the 30 persons at the Barrie Public Library Wednesday all animal lovers They were attending the first in series of open meetings planned by the Barrie Humane Society The film The Animals Are Crying was Screened and it showed the more tragic aspect of the pet boom in North Americaunwanted animals thrown from moving cars or stuffed into garbage con tainers pets picking through trash for food dogs and cats lyv ing neglected or dead in city streets It even showed pets being put to sleep at one shclter Statistics quoted in the film in dicated that most of the animals had to be disposed of in this manner but Cecil Henson supervisor of the Barrie shelter had more encouraging figures to report from the local standpoint The Barrie shelter had Itii animals up for adoption in March and managed to place almost twothirds of them The th rec pets which have appeared in The Examiners new weekly feature The Adoptablcs have all found homes Henson said The placement figures for March and also for early April are encouraging said the supervisor The Barrie Society placed about 30 per cent of its animals last year The shelter nonetheless had to destroy 55 dogs and cats in March total which one woman in the audience discrib ed as shameful reflection on Barrie Henson agreed Too many pet owners he said dont bother getting their animals spayed and neutered The film showed some of the flimsy reasons owners use to justify getting rid of their petsefihe just got too big he was so cute as puppy just had the apartment redone hes more of problem than thought hed be The Barrie shelter may even tually include small hospital which could serve as neuter ing and spaying clinic Humane Society president Edith Madigan added however that the hospital was long way down the road since the trust fund set up for donations to it contains only about $1000 so far Leprosy fight gets backing TEHHAN tltcutcrt Em press larah of Iran has given strong backing to
