Tem pers tnTempers flared at the final mýeeting of the present tocil before the Novem- ber 13 election date. As it ~ was the. las t meeting, Councillor Tom Edwards commented on_ the report r received from the Staff stat- ing that a request camne from the Senior Citizens activity Centre to have a plebiscite on the public Transportation question. Cou ncillor Edwards sug- gested that 'every pains should be taken to ensurethe message was sent to the next t Council!' He went on to point froquol Two new players were signed 'up by the Whitby Iroquois Senior A hockey team last weelç, as the team is attempting to build up its strength for the 1978-79 season. The players who signed last Wednesday are Goal- tender Mike Ryckman and left winger-defenseman Craig Chandler. Ryckman played witli the, club for two years ago but was forced out of action by a back injury. Kim Crouch will continue to tend goal for the Iroquois until Ryckamn has wor ked himself into playing condition. Chandler, wloplayed last season for the University of Western Ontario, competed for Wexford in the Provincial Junior A league. The Iroquois have suffered from séveral injuries, with Rick Kessell and Don Nichol- son both out of action for possibly. two weeks. Before Thursday's game against Orillia at Iroquois ,flareas out that Pickering lias a dial- a-bus system and because Pi kering has this service lie is ire that the Town of Whitby' could have a bus service. 'Because it is an expensive rnatter for the Council- to, leal with, there is no reason w'hy it should be shunted aside.' At this point an angry M'ayor Jim Gartshore stated, 'that is' unaccep- able'They (Ihe Council) did not shunt it aside. The rnatter was deait with quite [oudly and quite clearly at, the time.

Finally Councillor Edwards stated, 'because it is an expensive and difficuit decision,' he realized it is a" difficuit matter* for, the Council to deal with. 'Lt is hot criticisni,' he said.

He is expected to play his first game with the Iroquois against the Welland Steelers at Iroquois Park at 8:15 p.m. Thursday. Whitby Iroquois President Ed Croucli also announced the team has 'signed Pete froquois win 10-m5 Whitby .Iroquois lef t Winger Gord Cullen scored three goals Thursday as, the Iroquois defeated the Orillia Terriers. 10-5.

There is a growing need for a Public Transportation systemn in this town.' Councillor Gerry Emm said lie would like to see some type of consideration given to the people of the town particularly those who do not have cars. He would like Council to subsidize a dial-a-bus system for Whitby he said. As he began to say, that lie had been speaking to the Mayor of Pickering in regards to the cost of opera- ting a dial-a-bus system, Mayor Gartshore banged the gavel and told Counc illor Emm lie was out of order. 'This Council lias not the right to deal with any topics that w'ould be budget matters,' lie said. Councillor Enim referred to the matter of subsidized taxi service for the handi- capped and the senior citizens of Whitby. Again lie was out of order. Retiring Councillor Joy Thompson said she is nUb in favor of subsidized taxi service as she does 'not think it is riglit for a municipality to subsi- dize a private firm. Subsidi- zing a taxi service would amount to' subsidizing a private industry. As for the bus service one would think it is something new.' She held up an envelope of press clippings to prove it is not new. Councillor Joe Drumm 110 IORNEYMOTOR 146 BROCK ,STREET NORTH, WHITY ACROS FROM 11E ROYAL HOTU pointed out mtat there was only one Councillor who spoke out 'loudly and long in fa'vor of, a puýblic transpor- tation system for- the Town.' He then said, 'this, towýn simply can't afford a bus service' but he was agree- able that the niatter of Public Transportation -for Whitby 'be referred to the 1979 Council. Councillor Thonipson was also in favor "of it being put in the budget.' It was agreed that the Public Transporta- tion problem be turned over to the 1979 Council as a recommendation frorn the 1978 Council.
