Heâ€" said that eventually most people will have access to touchâ€"tone but ‘‘changing all our cenâ€" tral offices is a longâ€"term ters to let us know what we have on the books. I feel that the staff has failed us in this area and badly," she said. Ald. Bob Henry, a council veteran, said he didn‘t see "a lot in the (Chronicle) article to comment on". He said having a fire preâ€" vention bylaw on the books doesn‘t mean it is enforced and expressed doubts that Kitchener is enforcing its fire prevention bylaw. The alderman said having a fire prevention bylaw may be the ideal but ideals aren‘t always economically feasible. He compared installation of fire safety devices in Waterloo buildâ€" ings to paving all streets in the city a uniform 36 feet width." This may be desirâ€" able from a safety standâ€" point but not from an economic one he said. © OFF singleâ€"line residence and business telephone users in Ontario now can have the convenience of pushbutton dialing.

Ald. Mary Jane MeWhinney said she doesn‘t want the issue to die and promised to follow it up with a report from the administrative committee. Ald. Brian Turnbull said "I was a little surprised that we‘re not covered." He said he was given the impression when a miniâ€" mum maintenance bylaw for the city was discussed that the fire department was _ already _ enforcing standards in existing buildâ€" ings. Ald.
