Resident scolds council's actions on the A&W issue! from page 4 If Mr. Bagdon wants. to put the whole town on a profit sharing scheme, then by all means contin- ue. If not, then I suggest that town council re-evaluate their priori- ties. Before any agreements are made it's going to cost the taxpay- ers $8,000 for a new electrical service. This is just the beginning. What else is council going to hide? I say 'hide' because I found out on Jan. 4, one day before, that such a proposal might be institut- ed and I'm sure a lot of the town was in the same position. Just because you were elected to do a job does not give council carte blanche to do what you please. The town has a right to know! Has council really pondered the situation? Will this be in the town's best interest? Make a deci- sion that you can live with and not one that sounds good at pre- sent. pass the time? If Mr. Bagdon really wants an A&W in Terrace Bay, then he should pursue this on his own instead of getting a free ride from the town. I'm sure he has the time and resources from being a successful businessman to take on such an endeavour. The townspeople may not have been so concerned if a laa! per- son were to suggest such u pro- ject, but to have an individual who has never lived here, paid taxes or contributed to the town in any way be given such a chance; I hardly think so. I'm sure the other businesses in town would like to be subsidized by council. Does council truly and honestly have all the facts concerning this issue or are they recklessly making decisions as they go? Come on council, make a deci- sion that will benefit the town and not just a few. The people of Terrace Bay deserve better than this and they have the right to know. Gary Gusul.

Speziale attended council to ask for information and details con- cerning the possibility of renovating his building to allow construction to within 10 feet of the rear yard lot line; and the possibility of obtain- ing zoning bylaw modification which would permit the operation of a convenience store at his location. Speziale was advised to apply to the Committee of Adjustment for the minor variance concerning the rear yard allowance, and to apply in writing to the township for a zoning change; which would amend the bylaw to include a convenience store in the permitted uses of the Highway Commercial Zone. * * * - Two additional firemen have joined the Schreiber Fire Department; they are Albert Courtemanche and Randy Bolan. - Some members of council expressed concern about the overall lack of cleanliness in the recreation complex kitchen.

Thursday, February 25, 1988 - the township received a letter from the Ministry of the Environment stating that there seems to be confusion as to the min- istry's role as far as CP Rail's mine concentrate facility is concerned. The ministry stated that the purpose of the site is to store the con- centrate prior to shipment to Quebec. CP Rail does not need any cer- tificates from the ministry to operate the facility. The ministry has met with the company to advise them how to operate the facility properly. On-site tests were conducted last summer and again early this year, and will continue through the life of the facility, the letter stated. Tests are being taken for such things as air and noise pollution. _ Deadline for Contributions is February 29, 1988 GET US WORKING FOR YOU!
