unless something larger has appeared on a court house lawn in the last halfcentury ontario county and the town of whitby have two of the largest cannon in canada in 1902 when the two seveninch guns were moun ted in front of the county build ing on centre street they were the largest in the country the two cannons were built in woolwich eng in 1856 the year after the county building was erected because of the dates stamped on the guns many have suggested that they appeared at the time of the court house opening but actual ly they did not arrive in whitby until 1902 say records of the ontario county couneil the two cannon received their first mention in council records in 1901 when a letter was re ceived announcing that the im perial government was plan ning to give the county two ob solete cannon in fact the offer covered a choice of two types of cannon one type was a smaller gun weighing less than two tons and the other was the seveninch rml gun weighing seven tons with a seventon carriage on tario county chose the latter never in war the guns came to whitby from halifax where they had been mounted at the citadel but records show that neither weap on was ever fired in war time however the donors of the cannon apparently thought they might some day be fired in whitby for records show that complete instructions for firing were enclosed these included advice that a fully loaded shell weighed 118 pounds the shrapnel shell weighed one pound less and cither shell was propelled by 30 pounds of powder the guns are muzzle loaders and records showed that a saluting charge used only 10 pounds of pow der there is no advice on how far all this powder would toss a shell through the 126inch long rifled barrel moving guns getting the guns to whitby turned out to be almost as inter esting as their history james carnegie commissioner at that time has recorded for councils benefit the tribulations encount ered in getting the guns here at the first leg of the trip in halifax the heavy guns caused a breakdown of equipment and before the loading was com pleted the contract price for the job had been raised from 32 to 4685 great difficulty was experi enced in handling such heavy weights opp discount murder theory in uxbridge township death a 33 year old toronto man auriel richard 453 ruxton rd plunged to his death from the bell telephones micro wave
