ra cressman chairman director of education other stations sunoco included charge 350 the problem is the customers can get a cheaper wash if they fill up with gas then they can get a wash for a mere 175 and mr cooper said he cant compete according to petro canada spokesman carol pressalt the companys policy is to remain competitive in the market place petro canada has received funding from the government but it is a business and it also pays federal provincial and municipal taxes explained ms pressalt she said the company also draws funds from itself and the rest goes towards canadian exploration activities she said the petro canada is receiving so much advertising because we found people want to know what were doing with the monies she also pointed out that location is a very strong factor in any business and pet ro canada has a better location being on hwy 7 darrell morrison manager of the suno co car wash on wellington hwy 7 said he has not noticed any drastic decline in busi ness since the petro canada opening we have been doing less than we pro jected when we originally opened three years ago but there has been little differ ence in the last six months mr morrison said the difference in busi ness may be attributed to the sunoco hav ing a better wash than the other businesses sigh bylaw under fire from canada trust the first canada trust branch in mar kham will not look the same as other bran ches across canada in view of the towns severe sign by law the canada trust branch opening soon at mccowan rd and hwy 7 was not permitted to erect a sign which specifies hours of operation and bank services as well as the companys name canada trust representative diane maciejewski told the towns planning com mittee last week their signs are consistent across the country but councillor ron moran argued that markhams severe sign bylaw was meant to upkeep our town and prevent it from looking like scarborough the towns planning committee objected to the list of banks services and operating hours which they said would advertise the company it doesnt really look like a sign said councillor mike popovich others will want to hawk their wares in the same way when ms maciejewski protested there were many signs of such a nature in mar kham especially in certain strip malls committee members pointed out the malls were older and located in one area the towns sign bylaw governs only the size and location of signs but in an agreement between the town and owner of the building truscan realty limited all signs must be approved by the planning committee day
