The excessive speed at which trucks travel through town was of considerable concern and a letter was to be sent to Town Council in this regard, together with a request to define a trailer parking area for tourists, on Simcoe Plaza. They also wished Town Council to give consideration to a By-Law prohibiting litter on the streets. Discussing damage to the Aguasabon Gorge signs, the president will attend to replacements and Les Crandlemire will have them installed. Members felt the Lookout over Hydro Hill was dangerous and wished to have this information presented to the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chamber of Com- merce.
