All the money, resources and power available to city legislators didn't mat- ter a bit when the supreme court found that city's no smok- ing bylaw to be unjust. Q No doubt some people in Waterloo wish the same thing would happen here, But keep your smokes hidden, because Mayor Marjorie Carroll says our ban-the-butt bylaw doesn't have the flaw Toronto's did. But cursing the Region and stubbornly insisting that the City won 't build the road isn't the answer. Help is needed for the residents of Westmount Rd., and it's the City's respon- sibility to provide that help. No matter what the cost. The Toronto bylaw was found unfair because the onus of enforcement fell on the store owners, In Waterloo any member of the public can charge an offensive smoker with breaking the bylaw. All he, she has to do is swear out an af- fidavit in front of a justice of the peace, and the guilty party can be fined. The proposed University Ave. extension would take some of the traffic away from the area, but now that road is in limbo. Adding to the problem is the fact that the Westvale deve- lopment will toss another five to 10 thousand people into the area. That will increase Westmount traffic even more, and the residents will suffer. Theélniversity Ave. extension was planned as a regional road. e can't blame City officials for being angered at hav- ing the expensive construction thrown back into their laps. So it seems smokers in Waterloo will have to stay behind closed doors, It seems odd that a city like Toronto would pass an unsound bylaw while Waterloo's efficient little ad- ministration left nothing to chance As they say, bigger isn't necessarily better Recently Waterloo Regional Police set up radar traps along the road but with little effect. That's fine for the City, but what about the residents of Westmount Rd. Concerned residents have been saying for years that some method of lessening traffic flow on West- mount Rd. is needed. It’s plain that something needs to be done' with Westmount before someone is killed either in an accident or, or when struck by a car. Recently, the? Region of Waterloo informed City officials that construction costs for the long-talked about University Ave. extension should come out of the City's pocket. In the past it was assumed that such an extension-to run from Erb St: to the new Fischer-Hallman extettsimt--qouid be financed by the Region. "Welre not going to build the road because it's not in P" plans and it's not in our budget," Mayor Carroll said at one point. It appears relief for traffic-clogged Watmount Rd. in Wa- ter_ioo hay bemut eff inftiinite!y. _ A A - __- When Mayor Marjorie Carroll heard the Region's recom- mendation she quite naturally hit the roof.

Acting Editor Howard Elliott established tttM The Libertarian Party would not prevent businesses from becoming big, as under Libertarian leadership they would have to become big through free competition, hard work and efficiency. These businesses would always be subject to competition and thus would always have to deliver at a com- petitive price or find themselves replaced by? more compe- titive. harder working. more efficient competitor. For a long time. like many others I'm sure. I felt defeat- ed. I thought. "there's no answer to the mess we're in. Inna- tion. debt, wasteful spending etc. The problems have be- come too big and complex to ever be resolved." I actually felt guilt for having brought children into such a world. It is to the advantage of big government to keep people ig- norant of economics, but we don't have to be ignorant. We owe it to ourselves and especially to our children who will have to live in a situation growing worse each year if sub- stantial changes are not made and soon, to at least educate ourtelves so that we know what‘s going on. and be able to decide from there what needs to be done Lew Foumier makes his comments about the Libertarian Party ( K-W Record, April 5) from a wealth of ignorance, not only of the Libertarian Party but of economics as well. To the editor: Foumier would have the public believe that the Liber- tarian Party would replace big govemment with big bu- siness. If that is the case maybe he would like to explain why big business does not support the Libertarian Party, but rather - and very generously, supports the two major par- ties. This is true in the United States as in Canada. In the old days the unscrupulous reached for a gun to get what they wanted, today these same people reach for a legislator. _ I recall a lot of angry letters to the editor demanding. - "What happened to free enterprize'?" What indeed? I remind readers about a man in cambridge recently who wanted to start a moving business, but was prevented from doing so because there were already two moving firms in his area. The first thing not to do is try to learn economics from government sponsored institutions and publications There is an excellent publication that is non-political. non-profit, and purely educational and that takes an unbiased look at current economic issues This publication also offers easily In other words they would not be able toltave their compe- tition legislated out of the way.
