s. WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1982, PAGE 17, Counillors not thrilled with rooning house plan Members of Whitby Town Council's admùini- strative committee are flot exactly brimming with enthusiasm witb a roomning house proposaI but forward to them by a local businessman. Least week, Joe Otten- brite .appeared, -before the committee seeking permissionf to turn a building' at 412 Brock Street North into a six- unit rooming house with shared kitchen and washroom facilities. Ottenbrite told the committee that his would be a "Ifirst class" - establishment, how-' ever, planning director Bob Short contends that the property is too small to support the required water dra 'inage and Parking standards. The property in ques- tion is located imme- diately north of the now closed Stardust Dinner Theatre. .Ottenbrite - who also owns a men's wear shop in the downtown core - believes that he would be' providing a, much needed service with this new rooming house. "I. have fîve apart- ment units above, my store. and I get MalS every other day from yoang people who can't afford apartment rents and they're looking for a place to live," he said. "'This would be an ideal place for someone who, is. just starting out," 'Ottenbrite con- tinued adding that there. is no accommodation in the town for less than $200. "The house has been. vacant for three or four' years," he told the committee. "It's a dis- grace to the town the, way il is' now. 1 want 10 build something. that, is not a dlsgrace. " 1. 1Ottenbrite also pro- mised that 'lit won't be a run down place or a hotel. It will be a first class building." Committee members Ross Batten (North Ward) and Barry Evans (Centre Ward) both- have. misgivings about the project - especially the provision. of . one bathroom for tlire units.1 Batten said that since Ottenbrite does -not own the dr-iveway leading in- to the property hé would have to obtain an- ease- ment from, the Stardt Dinner Theatre..' Short mnaintains that there is only room for five cars at the rear parking lot, however, Ottenbrite said, space for 10 cars could be pro- vided., Batten said 'that he was willing to "bend" a little on the matter but that the uni'ts should be self-contained. -The-committee subse- quently tabled the mat- ter for two weeks to allow Ottenbrite, and Short to corne to some kind of agreemeënton the issue., "I'm doing what I can t0 provide something that is needed in this, town," O 1ttenbrite said. The,,Sleeper It's called "The Sleeper," whether this means the car has a mmd of its own or its driver has.forgotten the correct procedure for parking might neyer be known. This unfortunate car was found on the lot of a downtown car dealership.

EXTFAMIC - CLEANERS ýSAME- DAY SERVICE j ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS WHAT IS ,DRYcLEANING? "What is dryclean- ing?" This'question Is often asked. Many people, believe that their clothes are cleaned "dry." But that Is not sol In dry- cleaning your clothes are cleaneci ln a liquid solvent for a short time. The "dry"i means simply that the solvent contains Ilittle, If any, water., There are three dif- ferent types of sol- vent that a cleaner may use. Ail three solvents work the same - they dissolve' and lift away soils. Ail stains are not removed by, solvent but can be removed by water. When this occurs, a little water and detergent are ad-ý ddto the solvent. This mixture acts with the solvent 'to remove- the water- soluble stains. Some-, times, due to humid weather conditions, water may not be necessary. The f ibers may have abs orbed enough moisture from the air to work wit <h the solvent ln re- moving, ail types of soli. Drycleaning and washing machines look ýalike but the operation is different. Solvent f lows con- tinuously during the drycleaning opera-, tio.n. Solvent 18 also held in a storage tank for recovery instead of draining ,Into the sewer.' Solvent 15 re- covered for two rea- sons. - to. prevent pollution and to keep costs down. Solvent is expensive and Just one load requires at least 300 gallons of solvent to f 10w through the dryclean. Ing machine.' .-Befor being recov- ered, filtration and distllaàtion purify the used solvent.
