In hîs report to Whitby Town Council, public works director Dick Kuwahara said that sin- troduced in Metro Toronto in 1958 there has been a reluctance on the part of many municipalities to use it as a traffic control devise, despite its initial success. Kuwahara noted that there was at least one request for a PXO in Whitby. That came from the East Whitby Co-operative who of Ribbiesdale Dr. and Manning Rd.* However, the director recommended that this request be deferred un- tii the M.T.C. completes its study and releases the new guidelines. "When the new changes are known, we can then redetermine Whitby's needs for the installation of PXO's," Kuwahara said.

Architectural The house is a fine, well preserved example of Neo-coioniat house design, a style poputar in the early 20th Century. The gambrel roof, the prominent chimney and bay wlndow and the abundant use of Ieaded and slained glass and cedar shingles derive f rom l7th Century New Engîand houses. The symetrical front f acade wlth its coIumned porch, triple windows and single-, hung wood sash and the use of brick to face the first storey derive from houses builtitn colonial America ln the lth Century.

Last' week, Whitby TownCouncil awarded an inspection contract to the consulting engineering firm of Tot- ten Sima and Hubicki in the amount of $7,800. Most of the bridges under the town's jur- isdication cross the Pringle Creek, the Lyn- de Creek and the Oshawa Creek. In his report to coun- cil, public works direc- tor Dick Kuwahara said will help prevent major problems. "The recommended routine inspection is a good idea as any minor damage will be detected in its early stages and corrected normally un- der our maintenance program, " he said. "This will reduce ex- tensive repair costs if the minor damage ia rectified when detected under this program of regular inspections once every two years," Kuwahara added. Can take strike vote....
