Dear Mrs. Yeo: Re: Township of Clarke Committee of Adjustment Frost Building, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario. M7A 1Y7 File No. 431-3 February 21, 1973. The Treasurer has asked me to express his pleasure to learn from your letter of January 24, 1973 that the Committee of Adjustment members have decided to withdraw their resignations as previously reported in your letter of January 10, 1973. The Committee's task is a difficult one and it is reassuring to you, I am sure, thatthe new Council for the Township has given you a unanimous vote of confidence. I should say that I was somewhat puzzled by the reports in your letter of January 10, 1973 since, under the provisions of the Planning Act, an occasion where all committee members have to be reappointed at the same time should not arise. I understand that Miss Darrell of the Plans Administration Branch did discuss this with you and you clarified that, while it is not necessary, the Council follows an annual practice of 'endorsing' the Committee. I understand that the members of your committee have been serv- ing in this capacity for some time. Their experience should be invaluable to the Township and I am pleased that they will continue to serve in this capacity. Yours sincerely, "H.I. 'Macdonald" Deputy Minister. It Chairman E.R. Lovekin B.A. LL.B., dictated a reply to this correspondence. An Information Sheet from Canada Law Book Limited, 80 Cowdray Court, Agincourt, Ontario announcing Ontario I,unicipal Board Reports was received. The Secretary was instructed to obtain information regarding this publication.
