All figures relating to the gen eral tax rate and for which the elected municipal council is res ponsible were printed in black- Figures concerning levies by other bodies such as the coun ty council and school boards were printed in red The council cannot print pro paganda on the tax bills but this particular council mailed separate printed slips to all ratepayers stating that it was From the

bylaw has not yet parsed PROBLEMS A group of property owners in a restricted area recently petition to request that adjacent land be declaredpstricted area to residential use by bylaw What prompted the petition was an application for a building permit by a citizen to build a bus garage on adjacent property having found legal precedent over a similar situation council declared that it could not pass a bylaw to legislated the man from carrying out his plans to build the bus garage once he had made application for a building permit Regally decision was justified gut there are two sides to every story and residents in res area which in this case was the Veterans Land fear be lowered by the bus garage The question whether values will or will not be lowered by the presence of bus garage remains to be answered point that certain properties in a residential district which as a restricted area is isolated are not pro tected from adjacent developments l a few restricted areas Newmarket In fact properties in the restricted area are injured by their own restrictions For example the man the restricted area who will be next to the bus garage cannot himself build another bus garage or a store on his own property His efforts to increase the value of his property are impeded by the bylaw He ittiisfe keep sell property for residential purposes It shows that the passing of restriction bylaws for isolated blocks of land is policy With the passing the restrictions could do more harm to the property owner than good It would be as sensible to argue that should have no restrictions as it would to continue present policy The only property devaluations is to adopt a communitywide landuse It would take time and probably much trouble it its problems it would cause in locating industrial and establishments Newmarket is becoming a big taVVlt development surge of development may already necessitate landuse planning ami legislation WERE LUCKY Occasionally one of the millions
