WHITBY HARBOR A rainy day and a visit to Whitby Harbour. It is with great anticipation that we look forward to the f inalization of the work being done at the lake front. This area no doubt will become a focal point for many Whitby residents and- people from -near and far. Not only for the sailors but forpicnickei s strollers and those of us who like to sit by the water and marvel at the mystery and wonder of the lake. A walk along the concrete pieér filled with maybe a hundred or so pot holes is not a pleasant thirig. Fires - sometimes tires which cause intense heai create a slight deterioration to the surface of the concrete, a shaling effect. A large garbage can is filled with ash and trash which no doubt is used as a container for fires to warm cold hands and feet. Dead and decaying fish are strewn aIl over'the pier making walking quite hazardous andý almost impossible. *After. a rainfaîl the fish pollute the puddles and the stench is quite unbelievable. Not a path to take from one end of the pier to the other free of litter, old cloths, papers, pop cans and what have you. What a travesty! A million dollar pier being ruined by careless uncaring people. This should be a place for people to walk or sit. There could be benches there'where you could sit and enjoy watching ail the marine activity in the harbour. If we could have them again they would have to be chained to the concrete or they rnight suffer the same fate as the picnic tables frorn the park. The tables were often seen floating down the lake after being heaved over the cliff. By- the way, where is the life saving equipment that used to be there?, Piers come under the jurisdictîon of the Federal Govern- ment. When brought to their attention mrill they be willing to- repair the pier? With ail the current work being, done and thousands of dollars being spent on our new lakefront project do we want our guest.s who arrive by boat to encounter this? Again we ask what is the solution? ould the Town post signs on the roadway Ieading to the pier? Would this beeffective? Give us some ideas before the pier has to be roped off and put out of bounds.
