(b) Mr. D. J. Plitz, Clerk Township of Pickering. Dear Mr. Plitz: May 31, 1968. Re: Clerk- Correspondence with In respect to Council Agenda June 3, 1968, (IX) Unfinished or New Business, Item 2, I wish to suggest that the Fire Chief be requested to report on the possibility of parking one of the fire trucks south of the 401 in the garage at the Sewage Plant during the reconstruction of the Moore Overpass. The provision of a temporary bridge at this point is far too expensive to contemplate and it appears to me that the above arrangement would be much more within the financial ability of the Municipality. In fact, we could build a fire station and buy a truck cheaper than installing a temporary bridge. Please convey this suggestion to Council. Yours very truly, Poul H. Poulsson, P.Eng., Township Engineer. (c) Fire Chief to report on recommendations of Township Engineer. Date~ ADJOURNMENT Moved by Councillor A. King, seconded by Councillor V.
