He also servedi as Whitby's Chief Constable ln the 1870's. Architectural The Jacob Bryan House Is a good example of the "Regency Cottage" style. The house is one storey with the characteristic hlp roof but contains no specifically "Regency" details. The paired brackets under the eaves, the buff brick quoins and voussoirs, the six over six sash and the door- way wvith rectangular transom and side lights are ail features which were common at the ime but al not "Regency Cottage" in form. The later enlargement of two windows and the addition of the front porch have been carried ouI ln a com- patible manner and enchance the houses design.

For a bealthy economy, Buffett believes that a municipality should collect at least 50 per cent of its tax revenue from industry. "The percentage of the tax base comprised by in- dustry has dropped sn- ce Attersley became mayor," she pointed out. While residential development bas been on the rise, Buffett critized Attersley for not being more aggressive in his pursuit of new industry. Because of the lop- sided quality of the tex base, she argued, ratepayers are paying more now than they were five years ago.

Residential development should be until' industriel development bas been brought into line. On the Whitby beat which Attersley's challenger feels needs improvement. As mayor, she said she would look at extending bus services for senior citizens and residents of the newer subdivisions. Long term, Buffett identifies the com- position of the town's tax base as one of ber greatest concerns. Cuirently, only 26.2 per cent of the tax base cornes from the in- By Const. PETER BRAMMA Communlty Services Branch Durham Regional Police Force As a driver do you know what to do when ap- proached by an emergency vehicle with red light flashing or siren sounding? Suprisingly, when making an ernergency run, police, fire, or am- bulance drivers will nearly aiways corne across a motorist who does not respond in the proper manner and fails to pull over. If you hear a police, f ire, ambulance or public utility emergency vehicle siren, or see a flashing red light on the vehicle, get out of the way. Bring your vehicle to a stop as near as possible to the right hand side of the road and clear of any intersection. This law applies when the emergency vehicle ap- proaches you fromn any direction. Constantly check your rear view mirrors, wat- ching for approaching vehicles. Being aware of what is taking place ail around your vehicle niakes for good defensive driving. Good response from drivers would go a long way to preventing the kind of tragic accident we sometimes read about, in- volving emergency vehicles. Whitby's roads are more congested than ever these days, and com- pliance with this "rule of the road" will make our job easier, and maybe even save a lîfe (by aiiowing the emergency vehicle to arrive sooner and preven- tîng an accident en route). Also, don't reiy on hearing a siren. Some police cars are not equipped with sirens and the officer has to reiy on good response to the red flashing light only. This applies when a driver is being pulled over for a traffic of- fence, the policeman hopes that a siren blast isn't necessary to get the driver stopped and subsequen- tly disturb the whole neighbourhood. At the emergency scene obey the police officer. When traffic is directed by a police officer his direc- tions must be obeyed by ail drivers, regardless of any traffic signs or signaIs that may be present. So let's ail work together to help make emergency vehicle response more efficient.
