of the stouffville creamery on civic street were called off earlier this month when no water was obtained at a level that would make the pro ject economically feasible the drill hole was ex tended to

plaza has been withdrawn on recommendation from the metro planning board in a letter to ralph corner secretary of the stouffville planning board and conrad dowson planning consultant york county the commis sioner of planning for metropolitan toronto w c wronski suggests that the creation of an other shopping complex would be premature at this time instead mr wronski recommends that the main street commercial strip be the subject of a special study to determine its redevelopment potential he asks that this projcct receive prior ity over a new plaza plan mr wronski points out that if a second shop ping centre was permitted to proceed needed improvements in the downtown area might be neglected and merchants presently located there could suffer he mentions specifically the parking problem that should be improved while the conventional shopping centre is a common solution to the problem of strip commer cial development it is not always appropriate especially where it is considered desirable to pro mote the strip the letter read until such time as it can be demonstrated that both forms of com mercial development would be feasible the villages attention should be
