Furlong seeso large deficit Liberal MPP Allan Furlong does not want to see the Whitby General Hospital lose services to eliminate its proposed deficit of $510,000 for next year. But he does sympathize with the province's moves to cut back on funding for hospital deficits as a mneans of getting hospitals to bring their budgets in line. 'Whitby is not unique," Furlong said, as ail hospitals across the province are affected in various degrees -by the policy. He is concerned with the Whitby hospital deficit. "A lot of hospitals have implemented programns without ministry approval," Furlong said. But he does not want "to see approved programns cut." Apparently, Furlong said, that even if the non-approved programs are cut, there will still ha a "large deficit" sustained by the hospital. This means that further budget cuts are necessary to elimninate the deficit in order to receive provincial funding, said Furlong. Cuts are to be made .in m-ore vital, approved services, Furlong said, and this is what disturbs him. I will be working my buns off to help the hospital. I hope to work closely with Jim Miller, hospital administrator (and Liberal health minister Elinor Caplan) to see that help cornes," Furlong concluded. "They (insurance companies) just want to cover themselves," said Brunelle who wanted staff to investigate the means of, introducing an anti-whistling bylaw. Whistles do warn people there is a hazard approaching," said councillor Tom Edwards adniitting that they are a nuisance. Edwards along with councillor Joe Bugelli agreed with the public works staff. ."I'm disappointed beyond belief. People put up with the whistles in the miùddle of the niglit and they are dam annoyed," said Brunelle referring to a petition signed by 135 people in the Regency Cres./Garden St. area in favor of the bylaw.

Free Press photo Don't 'bow down' to insurance companies, says Brunelle Whitby council should not "bow down" to insurance companies and should introduce an anti-whistling bylaw for trains, says councillor Marcel Brunelle. Brunelle's comments at last week's operations committee meeting contradicted those from the public works department which suggested that a bylaw not be introduced because it would leave the municipality open for a law suit should an accident occur at a railway crossing. Staff was informed by the Town's insurance company that should a short arm gate fail to operate and a train not blow a whistle because the Town out- lawved it, ail responsibility for an accident would fail on the shoulders of Whitby.
