Free Press Staff Photo Chamer pp-oses city chang WHTY-The Wbitby Cliamber of Commnerce lias added is voice te those who are opposing the proposaI that Wbit- by become a city. At a meeing of the Board of Directora on July 5, it waa declded te send a létter te the town, utnngreasons why Whitby should remain a town and not be given City statua. The Chamber feels that faw businassas and industries wiil corne te Whitby from Europe. Most are moving from Toronto and othar metroopolitan areas in Canada. Industries usually look te the Hamilton- Oshawa corridor te locate s0 tbat they will be close te Toronto, but located in a malier communities which have Iower tax rates. Whitby -bas already attracted a number of industries through its own aggrassive marketing campaign, and the Chamber doas not see that city statua would really make any appreciable difféence. The Chambar also atatas that the population figure in literatura and signa related te Wbitby should give an accurate picture of the size of the town. City statua would not really make any' dif- ference. Scarborough and Nor- th York have juat become cities and bave not had'any real gain from this except a naine change, said the cbam- ber diracters. "itby would juat be another comrnunity jumping on the 'city'bandwagon." The Chambar pointa out that there la no proven financial advan- tage i the form of gpan- ta that would- corne te, Whitby if it attained city statua. There la also no indication that any major increase in in- dustrial assassment would corne with city statua. The Cliamber infor- med the town tbat many people bave movad te Whitby from Toronto and other large citias bacause thay wanted te get away from the city and live in a amalier town. "Thera l ýa agreat psychological advan- toge in the word 'tewn' whicli attracts naw rasidenta," the direc- tors statad. "Changing te city statua could af- fect the influx of new residenta who are aeeking a amaller comn- munity in which te 0ie"laeilbdsuad G eorge Ashe caught up ini Davis' Cabinet shuffle The Victerian heritage thame of the downtown and the teurlat information cen- tre whlch la designed te attract tourista, could be destroyad by naming Whltby, a City, the Cliamberstated. Anothar conceru of the Chamber waa the louai of comrnunity spirit if the town changes te a City. The Chamber of Commerce encourages ail citizens 0f Whtby te attend the council meeting on July 18 at the municipal building when the city statua by Trim Baines Comrnunity Editer George Ashe, MWPP for Durhamn West, was involved in a provincial cabinet shuffle laut Wedneaday, which saw the former Minister of Revenue moved te the position of Minister of Government Service. Ashe, who entered cabinet in 1961, bad *come under criticism recently for bis treat- ment of property tax reform. Ashe aaid in an inter- view ha doma not see the move as a step down but rather aa a lateral move. "I knew a shuffe was corning up and 1 bad every reasn te believe I may lie involveCI' le aaid. "If we ail had choices thia probably wouldn't bave been my first choice but the Premier decides where we go."' The 50-year-old for- mer mayor of Pickering replaces Douglas Wiseman, whe waa dropped from the Cabinet in the shuffle. Milton Gregory replaces Ashe aa the Minister 0f Revenue.
