CORRESPONDENCE Edward J.P.Morley - September 27thj601 "May I enquire if the Town of Bowmanville, of which I am a resident, has a by-law to control noises disturbing its inhabitants? if so, may I have a copy of this by-law? If there is not such a by-law, may I respectfully submit this for the consideration of our members of the Town Council and that the immediate attention be given of it for the health and welfare of the citizens of the Town of BO~~lanviller Pursuant to the above, may I suggest that "The 1,1unicipal Act, Re- vised Statutes of Ontario, 1950, (1958) specify therein, - Chapter 243. Sec. 388 (1) and provide: 112 (p.219) 112a(p.219) 113 (p219) For prohibiting or regulating the ringing of bells; blowing of horns, etc, etcl For licencing, regulating and governing the owners or operators of public address s~stemsj etc. etc. For prohibiting and abating public nuisances.

"I am writing to enquire if any progress has been made by the Roads & Streets COJ1lIl1ittee in regard to getting us a road into our property. As you know, our road across the C.P.R. railway was closed in February, 1958, and we have no access to our property since. Last December, we appealed our tax assessment to the Court of Revision. At that time they viewed the situation and cut our assessment in half. Also at that time Mr. lleynolds stated that the matter had been referred to the Roads ~G Streets Committee. We still have no road and understand the C.P.R. has offered to share the cost of a road from the west over Hr. C.Bellman's prop- erty. We hope for some progress soon, and would certainly be willing to pay our full share of taxes just as soon as we have access to our property," Moved by Deputy-Heeve HobbS, Seconded by Con. Hughes, That this be referred to the Streets and be pursued further. Mayor and Chairman of Roads & Carried. Rena Bathgate, 15 Flett St. - October 3rdj60. "I wish to complain about the language of the Dog Control Officer, who told me I lied about him to Council. He said this last week when he picked up my dog within two feet of my own front lawn. It is true that the dog was unleashed so I offered to pay him the ;P2.00 fine and save him the trouble of taking my dog to the pound. He then said rudely "You have been telling lies to the council about me, so you will just have to come all the way to the pound and PilY the i~2. 00 there~ Gentlemen, I am willing to comply with the laws, but I would like to be treated politely by your law enforcement officers. I have already complained to the chairmiln of the Dog Control Committee, Con.
