The other section permits council to pass bylaws to clear away the snow at the owners Dupont reports smaller earnings MISSISSAUGA (Oct. 30) - Du Pont Canada mc. today reported a, smali gain in sales but lower earnings for the third quarter. For the year-to-date bath sales and- earnings were higher.than in 1983. In the three months ended Sept. 30, sales were $278,755,000 com- pared with $272,493,000 in the same period last year. "Sharply lower ship- ments of nylon apparel and carpet fibres were offset by higher volumes of plastic products for automotive end-uses and producta for the electronica in- dustry," said president J.E. Newall. "Other off- setting factors were, higher prices for polyethylene resins and consumer and industrial packaging products as well as generally higher export selling prices." Year-to-date sales of $887,455,000 were eight per cent higher than the $818,965,000 reported last year. "Lower shipments of apparel and carpet fibres to date were of- fset by higher volumes of most productsa in the chemicals and plastics and films groups and by stronger damestic and export selling prices for polyethylene resins," Newall said. Third quarter ear- nings of $8,621,000 or 54 cents a share, compared with $10,219,000 or 64 cents a share in 1983. Lower earnings from fibres products and higher income taxes more than offset gains from plastics and films businesses, Newall said. Year-to-date earnings were $36,075,000 or $2.28 a share, compared with $22,728,000 or $1.43 a share a year ago. This reflected improved prices and volumes in most businesses other than fibres. Looking ahead, Newall sees continuing weakness in fibre ship- ments and intensifying competition in many chemicals and plastics markets. As a result both sales and earnings in the fourth quarter are expected to be below the "excellent levels" of 1983. Du Pont Canada is one of Whitby's largest em- ployer's. Its plant is located on South Blair St. xpensei is notione within that specified period of time. (In Whitby, residents have 24 hours to clear the snow from their sidewalks.) Wallace also noted that this section also allows that the cost in- curred may be charged against the owner in the same manner as property taxes. "The only purpose of this letter is to let you know that council has acted properly within its legai authority pursuant to statutes enacted by the government 0f the Province of Ontario and, in particular, un- der the Municipal Act," he said. In this newspaper's editorial published last week, the authority of council to require residents to clear snow from their sidewalks was questioned. Wallace also pointed out that the town does provide a sidewalk snow clearing service for senior citizens and the disabled. "Where there is no able-bodied person residing at their residents the snow and ice will be cleared from sidewalks abutting their homes at the direction of the town, " he said. "The cost that will be assessed in that regard to seniors or disabled persons who would qualify under this policy is $5 for the first 50-feet of frontage plus a fur- 0, .......
