Bilway Developments Ltd. had proposed to build the home on a vacant lot behind Fairview Lodge on an unopened road allowance on High Street. The plans called for the construction of 72 double- occupancy suites and for 12 private suites in a three storey structure. A 1975 study of the down- town area recommended that the area be set aside for low density residential development. The town's planning direc- tor, Bob Short, said that the retirement home would flot be consistent with the study. He added that if the home was constructed, the High Street area would have to be upgraded to full urban stan- dards by Bilway. -To date, headway has flot been made on this issue," Short told council at its meeting last week. -Upgrading of High Street has been requested by both the public works department and the fire department," he said. "Without this work being completed, the ap- plication is perceived as being premature."

Our gerror in1 Iast week's edition of the Free Press we carried an account of the new com- puterized energy saving system that was installed at Gus Brown Motors. However, we forgot to men- tion that the system was in- stalled by Jim MeTeague of McTeague Electric Ltd., in Whitby, who also instigated the project in operation with BFR Systems. This was the first such system installed in Whitby and MeTeague plans other such projects in the future. BROWN'S FOODMASTER BROOKLIN 655-4521 8.:30 iii 1 to( pril Exept , Fiur . F.
