PAGE 4ýTURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1972, Wl-JTBY FRrýEE PRESS HION TURNOUT PREDICTED FOR *MUNICIPAL "The cornmunity of Whitby will experience one of the liighest per- centages of votes that any municipality will ex- perience on December 4th," Clare Hewson of the Whitby Citizens' Study Group prediets. Mr. Hewson, who was questioned about his im- pressions on the civic scene by the Whitby Free Press, assesses the situation as a culmina- tion in "the hottest elec- tion Whitby has - or wilI - witness for many a year. " "Unless 1 aln mis- taken, the citizens of this town are very unhappy with the- present coun- cil," he elaborated. This, he says, "has really corne to light over the Iast eight to ten -month period, primarily, becauise of the miunici- pal complex debacle." As cause for main dis- content, lie says when a municipal board hearing was called by the On- tario Municipal Board to hear objections of rate- payers, otîr present coun- cil 44conveniently brouglit the arena situa- tion into focus and it would appear they were subsequently able to avoid the public hear- ing." 1 The police building,, which everyone agrees is required, is now being built at the Rossland Road site, thus estab- lishing the location of the town hall as far as the council is concerned. Somne of the current issues lie feels worthy of bringing forth before election_ dayin his esti-. NOW >is the time b change your furnace to Natura«l Gais.

"One must really won- der why tenders are called on small projects such as the dernolition of the Whitby Commun- ity Arena, while other fairly substantial works are carried on a nego- tiated basis." One must also take into considera- tion where the addition- ai $1l 10,000 revenue will coi-ne frorn to support the issued debentures of the past 1 2 mon ths." "Yes, there are many issues facing the elector- ate for this civic elec- tion," says Mr. Hewson. "But 1 believe you will see a great many new faces campaigning for of- fice and some truly sig- nificant changes in the makeup of the 1973-74 council." Besides being active in the Citizens' Study Group, Mr. Hewson is District Governorof the Kinsmen Club.
