thursday october 28 17c people upset claremont the operation of a noisy corn dryer at the claremont coop has posed quite a problem for pickering council lately residents living near the mill were most unhappy about- the 24 hour a day racket and called police to close the operation down on the grounds that the mill was breaking a town bylaw the bylaw states that all noisy machinery must be shut down between 8 pm and 6 am the farmers who were most anxious to get their feed corn dried before it could rot were understandably upset and appealed to the provincial minister of agriculture bill newman for help he contacted the mayor and a special meeting was held and after some deliberation council decided to amend the previous bylaw to permit the mill to operate longer- if a state of emergency was declared it was then moved that an emergency existed as a result the corndrying operation will proceed from 6 am until mid night aa you have to look at both sides commented councillor jack an derson he says that coop operation while no one is par ticularly happy with this solution it appears to be the only workable alternative that is fair to both parties to prevent similar situations in future
