Your eommittee feel that ~~e. Aurora Police and Fire Deparmtents

a potentially serious situation.
Your Committee recommends the following:
(a) All town departments be advised that in future, all deliveries
of this nature, must be completed during working hours, or driver
to be informed to return to his companys premises and retunn during

solicitor report on the legal implications if any, of company owned
trucks parked overnight on town property.
(b) It is realized that in time of emergency, the police telephone
lines can be jammed by the press and others calling for information.
It is not felt that the. Police Department should be placed in the
position of witholding, censoring, or protiding news information op
request, but merely advising the caller that an accident, incident,
fire, etc. is reported at such an address. It would than be the
, responsibility of the press to carry out.is own coverage, and
relieve the Police Deparmment of the possibility of providing

continue to have an officer or point duty during rush periods when

felt that the Yonge St. and Aurora 'Heights Drive intersection should
be considered.a"T" intersection. REcommend that a further survey be
carried out, at a "T" intersection during mid-summer, bearing in

REPORT S OF COMMITTEES CONTINUED
CAR WASH BUSINESS
ON TEHPERMCE ST.
TRENT:
CORBETT:
COUNCILLOR WM. TRENT-
I find it difficult to fathom why the permit Committee allowed
a car wash to establish on a narrow through street like Temperance
This type of operation presents a saftey hazzard to traffic and
pedestrian. This is due to the fact that to leave this car W<\Sh
the car has to be backed out on to Temperance Street. It should
be noted that the driver of the backing car has his vision
affected to the south, by the house adjacent to the car wash.
If my memory serves me it seems to me this operation was
discussed by the Chairman of the Planning Committee with
members of Council, and I am sure the opinion was expressed that
this would be a very poor location for a car wash of the type
established there.. I noticed in minutes disbribing this type
of operation in another part of town that special filters were
prescribed. Have these filters been installed at this operation
on Temperance Street? I feel Council was mislead in the way
this application for a wax and wash operation was presented to '
Council members because I am sure Council in their wisdom
would never he.ve allowed an operation of this type to be
established in this area. Can anything be done about this
situation?
Resolved that the Police Committee make a study of this car wash
operation and report back to Council with their suggestfon
as to hm< we can safe guard the public in this area, from
backing vehicles.
Councillor Wm._ Trent:-It·. is unbelievab:j-e that a responsible
person would seriously attach the princip,\\9 of Democratic
Government. But at a council meeting on January 31,1966 here in
the Town of Aurora, in these very Council chambers such as
attach was undertaken by one of our Council members. I am referr-
ing to the attack made by Councillor Illingworth, casting·
aspersions on the integrity of six members of Council attending
aCommittee Meeting of Council. Councillor Illingworth charged
that a letter was discussed, a letter sent to the Council by
Consolidated Building Corporation that had not been received by
Council in open Council meeting. 'rhis is apparent by newspaper
article. This was an irresponsible act on behalf of Councillor
Illingworth since Councillor Illingworth was not in attenance
at the Committee meeting. I personally resent the inference
does Councillor Illingworth dablle in II"" <.S" y' Where did he
formulate his opinion that this letter was discussed, He must
possess some special power or a ouija Board. This letter was
introduced by the Mayor at the Special Council meeting held on
January 31,1966, and was not discussed until this time.

3RD REGULAR -2:t -February 7,1966
COUNCILLOR TRENT CONTINUES
Councillor Illingworth then went on to question the legality of the Spe~ial
Council meeting called for on the signatures of six councillors, Surely
Councillor Illingworth, if he is taking his job seriously as a Councillor
is aware of by-law 1468 which sets out the rules and regulations governing
Council proceddings. But since he seems unaware of certain protisons
governing the calling of Council meetings I would like to draw to his attention ·
that part which heads as follows "In the absence of the Mayor of if his
office is vacant, a Special meeting may be summonsed by the Clerk upon a
requisition by the majority of the members." He did make a point and this
should be well noted, that the Mayor was not away from Town but wa~ sitting in
a meeting in the same building. Perhaps the Question should be possed, why
was the Mayor not chairing the Committee meeting of Council~ I am sure I can
speak for the majority of the Councillors that attended the Committee meeting
who were acting in Good faith attempting to conduct Town business for the
best interest of Aurora. They were not as some others attempting to further
their own interest.
In truth the six Council members had as on many other occassions put aside
their own interests to conduct busmness on ,Jbehalf of the Town of Aurora
It would have been fnustrating to think that a meeting was held resulting in
no solution. The members of 6ouncil who signed a request for a Special
Council meeting were of the opinion that certain aspects of a questionaire sent
to Council by the Planning Board could be better answered by the president of
the firm desiring .to build:. a shopping plaza, and for this we vere subjected to
the irresponsible attack by Councillor Illingworth, for what purpose?
Was Councillor Illingworth, trying to discredit the honest effort of other
members of Council who were making a sincere effort to arr~ve at a conclusion,
It is my contention there is an apology due~o the six members of Council,
and I would. 'ask the Mayor to question Councillor Illingworth on what basis
he made his attack.
\
Councillor Williamson asked for an apology as he was not furthe~ing his own
interest.
Councillor Trent replied he did not include him.
Mayor Davis said he had to go to the Planning Board meeting to answer questions
and had asked that the Council in Committee meeting be put off until later.
Councillor Illingworth stated he would not apologize as the Mayor was not
absent because he was in the building and he had not cast aspersions on
the Council • members integrity,.
Reeve Patrick addressed the Mayor and said he had gone to the Planning Board
meeting and had discussed part of the letter ~rom Consolidated Building Corp.
Corporation Ltd, that had been addressed to Council.
SIMMONS: "Resolved that the meeting adjourn."
WILLIAMSON:
CARRIED. "•"
