The Durham chapter aims are in keeping with in aid of the Congress Town facilities will cost more From Pg. 1 banquet and community hall facilities belonging to the town for meetings or special events, the rent structure will be slightly different this year. , A review by the Parks and Recreation depar- tmnent showed that there were inconsistencies in the uses of the halls and the fees that are paid. For instance, service clubs psy a reduced rate while sports organizations pay the full rate; aduit and youth community organizations pay a discounted fee at cer- tain halls and are charged the full rate at other halls; sorne halls use the samne rates for the whole week while other halls have various rates for different times in the week. But the main concern of the department was that non-residents of Whitby use halls at the same cost as residential taxpayers and volunteer non-profit community organizations. To off-set the incon- sistencies, council was expected to pass a num- ber of recommendations Tuesday night which it hopes will alleviate the inconsistencies. They include: @s 20 percent sur- charge for non-residents who use town banquet or Meeting halls. It also provides for an eventual 20 percent reduction for recognized volunteer community groups. This wiI be achieved by a graduated increase in residential and non- residential fees an- nually until a 20 percent differential is obtained. But for residential groups the base rate for hall rentais bas been in- creased by five percent for 1987. efree use of halls for meetings or programs for Senior Citizens groups. especific locations designated for youth programs, such as the brownies, where a very nominal rate can be negotiated. If, for example, a resident of Whitby was to rent out the Heyden- shore Pavilion the cost in 1987 will be $55 per hour. The cost for a non- resident would be $65 per hour while for an adult community organization that cost would be $50 per hour. There would be no charge for a senior citizen group. A car which crashed into a hydro pole on Champlain Ave. early Sunday morning caused a two hour power blackout in some areas of southern Whitby. Tom May, General Manager for Whitby Hydro, said it took two bours of switching power from the area before power was restored to most of the bouses affected byV the blackout. May could only say a "fair numn- ber" of homes were af- fected. The accident, which happened around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, caused $10,000 damage. May said the pole had to be replaced. Durham Regional Police said a 1976 Chevrolet hit the pole breaking it in two. The WHEN YOU RETIEtOU SHOULDNT When your RRSP ends, you can still shelter your money from taxes.
