Eh- i Mfr- HI ages from the s Notebook Card of thanks We to thank the post office depart ment for starting the town clock again About seven weeks ago the town clock failed That was on Easter weekend Last weekend the clock started again We dont know what happened in that long interval but we were told that the works were taken to Toronto to be repaired A few weeks ago we offered a reward of cents to anyone who would get the clock started again because Main Street was not the same without the ser vices of the community time piece To date no one has claimed the reward- The interval was so long that many citizens lost the habit of looking up at the clock A lady was heard to ask another per son what time it was yesterday afternoon She was standing on the sidewalk directly opposite the clock It will be a long time before Main Street people Will learn to depend on Big Ben for the time again We have noticed too that there are no pigeons around the clock tower Could it be that they too lost faith during those seven weeks In an editorial last week we mentioned that an irate citizen told us that the town should do some work on the rough roads before spending money on a diamond at the fair grounds We said last week our knowledge tax money collected in Newmarket will not be spent on the new baseball diamond and dressing rooms proposed for the fair grounds park Pre viously Newmarket town coun cil had appointed members to a new parks commission which will be concerned with the new recreation centre at the fair grounds With the appoint ment of the commission or board comes a grant from the province Following Monday nights council meeting we must report that the council has earmarked money for work to joedojiSte the fair grounds Reeve Dales chairman of the property com- said had allowed 700 in its budget for that purpose When the bud get was set Reeve Da not know whether a parks board would or would not be set up Monday night council handed over the to the parks board Our friend the citizen may be pleased to know that annual maintenance work will be start ed on the streets next week according to the roads and bridges committee On the other hand the citizen might say If the was set aside for the fair grounds when it was not known that a govern ment grant would be forthcom ing why is the now needed when the grant is made Or the citizen may say noth ing Serving

councils resolution amendment the Act regarding the of Commissioners or a councils council of Chathanliiremiesting teJteitoffley that legislation prohibiting appeals from Visions of police commissions be rescinded and thai enacted that the Municipal Act at does not require that a police mission of -nBBg- give reasons for refusing cliplji a taxi license a restaurant types businesses The refusatif Hat fife ap pealed but an license may appeal According to J proposed an amend ment of the Municipal Act refusing of a license to any person- to fori a particular trade calling business or occupation or of revoking a license under lowers conferred upon council or a board of commissioners of police by this or any act shall be in its discretion and it shall not be bound to give any reason for refusing or revoking a license and Mr Salsbergs contribution to the amendment was to add except that SViboard of commissioners of police upon request by the applicant or holder pi a license shall give the applicant its reasons for the refusal revocation When a vote was taken this amendment was defeated RESTRICTING THE INDIVIDUAL J About this matter of refusing licenses without giv ing reasons Hon Dunbar said during the session of the legislature on April Well revoking a license and issuing a license are quite different things I think a police commission should ijlisye great powers If you am

before the council The refusal grant license became a serious issue on and was the subject of discussion election last Thje license was later the council said Monday night Its a matter of principle In princijile a person should be able to appeal if he wants to to aligner court The present legislation opens the way for undemocratic methods restricting the individual We must have faith in municipal officials it is true but it is not wise to give such wide power as this No one is questioning past or present officials but who will the officials be next year the year after that No matter who they are anyone should have the right to question their de- cisions or question the reasons and information they use to arrive at their decisions WOULD END COUNTY GOVERNMENT The Canadian Statesman of says that it has been harping away that county coun cils in Ontario should be discontinued as the first step the people The Statesman to find Ex- reeve Preston same mind In the Ontario Association last week he contended the county should be eliminated ffit cilice trend towards municipal operation is stripping counties of industrial assess- meat Maybe it is too much to expect the government to take action on this matter just now with its efforts being concentrated on cleaning up the Department of Highways mess WERE GOBBLING UP LAND Financial Post Built up urban areas in the United States are ex
