Reginald tion of a welding and machine on the property of Kenneth Eagle St was pre sented to Newmarket council on Monday night The petition con tained names with the spokes man being Mr A Millar Eagle St At an earlier meeting of coun cil Mr Rusnell in a letter had re quested permission to build such a shop on the rear of his proper- 1 this Since no formal application for a building permit had been made to Building Inspector Lid- die council referred the matter to the inspector The petition which had been prepared by property owners in the neighborhood of the proposed machine shop site stated that they strongly opposed such a building as it would create a nuisance and fire hazard The signers of our petition feel that the erection of a welding and machine shop on that loca tion would seriously depreciate their properties Mr Millar told council If it is permitted I for one would naturally approach council for a revaluation of my property to reduce the assess ment Such buildings have one of the highest fire insurance rates the same as the rate for a lumber yard he explained Mr Millar said that while the fire insurance rate on a house is cents per 100 for three years the insurance rate on a welding and machine shop is 142 per per year He told council that when Av enue extended it would mean a loss of revenue to the town if the shop were permitted on its proposed location The rear of these deep lots on Eagle St would form the new properties on such an extension I dont think it would add anything to the district to have a welding plant out there added Mr Millar We are expecting a report on this matter from the building in spector said the mayor These people should be told that councils authority in such who owns no proper per- has no right to refuse it There is a clause in the build ing bylaw which will permit council to refuse a permit if and when an application has been made for one said Councillor Knapton I dont remember the exact phrasing but it says that buildings which might be dan gerous must be referred to coun cil Nothing can be done about yet The man the property has made application for a building mil As I understand it the owner of this property has an opportun ity to sell it if he can put up this welding and machine shop said Councillor Paynter He must have the building permit for the shop before the sale can be com pleted He is getting out himself he is not too worried about his neighbors He will not get permission from me for that per mit The delegation was told by the mayor that their petition will be considered when the building in spectors report is presented Un til a proper application is made for the permit nothing can be On Friday absenteeism stood at per cent with children absent from the five public schools The figure had jumped to on Monday again to on Tuesday and to 333 yesterday This represented per cent of the total enrolment Schools Remain Open Due to characteristics of this particular disease closing of schools will not stop the spread of disease and contagion will con tinue unabated at home on the street and in many other con tinuing community activities Since the spread of the disease in the present outbreak cannot be stopped or materially prevented by closing schools the medical officer of health can not justify an order to close a school in this situation on the grounds of di sease prevention To minimize severity a to prevent secondary infection the patient should go to bed at the beginning of an attack and should not return to school or to work until fully recovered Dr King says If fever is high or other symp toms are severe the family doctor should be consulted immediately Pickering Closed Pickering College was closed this week because students from the Be ing a boarding school the flu is a more difficult problem at Pick ering It was impossible to send so many students to the school infirmary Students whose homes are not too distant left the school to con valesce at home The college is expected to reopen next week Flu At Sutton Sutton The flu bug which is absent The number absent was ap proximately the same on Tues day Two staff members were also away Monday and Tuesday Mr MacAlpine reported the number absent to the York Coun ty Health Unit but as of Tuesday officials had given no indication they would close the school Public schools in North Gwil township have fared much better Roches Point Public School Principal Don Trivett said the number of students absent was not too alarming At Keswick principal Lome Brady said We have been very fortunate to date The number absent has not risen too high as yet At Jersey River Public School Page Col COMPLIES WITH BYLAW Building Inspector Albert Lid- die informed Newmarket coun cil on October that a building permit has been issued to A Taylor for the erection of a garage on his Lowell Ave prop erty The request had been re ferred to council last month when Mr Taylor suggested a position for the garage less than the required three feet from his property line Mr told council in his letter that he had inspected the property A new location was recommended which complied with the building bylaw and since this was satisfactory to owner the permit was issued Amend 6l6 For One Lot I On Eagle St But Final Authority Awaits Board First and second reading of a Councillors idler Choppin and

above amendment was intro duced on Monday night it amended bylaw by deleting reading is given and a hearing the townowned Eagle St site will be held by the board the from its coverage This is too narrow an amend- said Councillor Ridler I would prefer to have this town solicitor said The amendment of the long- discussed bylaw exempts the proposed site of the Liquor Con trol Boards retail store on Eagle St from coverage by bylaw but restricts its use for commer cial purposes Bylaw passed by council in September 1929 zones many of the streets in Newmarket in cluding Eagle St for residential purposes When the townowned sweeping Ontario struck Sutton I property on Eagle St east of the district high school with full Bell Telephone building was force this week Principal G A said that 40 per cent of the enrolment was suggested as the site for the store this bylaw was brought to public notice It was pointed out by some members of council that the es tablishment of a store on that side would contravene the to provide for com mercial use of the land only agreed That is far different from amending it for blank purposes This bylaw is not m line with the resolution passed last Wed nesday It would be illegal to amend it for purposes of the explained Councillor The solicitor advises that you cant specify the use of the land in that way Couldnt we say amended for commercial purposes asked Mr Knapton This new bylaw opens the land for any type of development Council amended the new by law Those who approved that number 1589 to restrict the location for the liquor store of

try off the only industrial street with the clerk and solicitor re- the petition plied Mayor It is A resolution was accepted practically impossible to do any- amending bylaw 616 to exclude If you put in commercial said Mr you must also put in the meaning of com mercial feel this is an unhealthy way of amending bylaw 616 said Mr It is silly lo leave as it helps keep this year Such a move will necessitate many changes changes in boundries voters lists and other things This would be a good matter for the new council to consider early ilone Mr Gladman explained next year he suggested the
