c yates qc represented the municipal board while air j d lucas solicitor for the twp represented the council the hearing was held at unionville on thursday morning the pro posed bylaw would prohibit the raising of hogs with swill garbage or other refuse other than produce raised on the owners property the bylaw would have no effect on swill- feeders who are already in bus iness but would prevent fu ture developments along this line air elmer fairatv farm re sident on the stb concession of markham was the chief sup porter of the bylaw air fair- aty claimed that it was not nec essary to feed pigs on swill when clean grain was available he pointed out that the gar bage attracted rats flies and is sued a very disagreeable odour why should residents of markham township be forced to go through the same agony as the people of scarboro and east york until the dept of aty to reeve timbers air tim bers replied that he would like to inspect a typical swillfeed ers premises before he could make a definite reply the biggest complaint of council is in the devaluation of property which lies adja cent to the farms in question said air timbers air howard cosburn oper ator of a large scale pig farm en xo 7 highway spoke in fa vor of the swillfeeders air cosburn claimed that such premises were kept under very strict government supervision and inspections were made monthly air

cession farmer feeds some 050 hogs on his premises he re sented the statement that the swillfeeders were being dri ven out of scarboro pointing out that their main reason for moving into other

objection to swikfed hogs was in the disagreeable odour that was attached to pigs fed in this manner to be deprived of feeding swill does not mean that hogs cannot be raised in markham township pointed out reeve timbers would you want a swlll- feeder at your back door or e- ven within a quarter mile of your home queried mr fair- there was no waste or ferment ing thus the odour was kept down
