A copy of the Representative--JAMES HOLDEN Phone, Houge 18--Ottice 484 Whitby Council | -..Grand Jury's References Resents to Condition of Streets "Reeve Jackson Charges Jury Exceeded Its Duties When It Concerned Itself With Streets Which Were Sole. ly Property of the Town (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, May 9.--Whitby's town council strenuously objects to ref- erences concerning the condition of the roads surrounding the county court house made in the present- ment of the grand jury at the Spring assizes of the Supreme Court held here before Mr. Justice report forwarded by Dr. Bascom, registrar, upon the suggestion of Justice Rose, was included among the communications read by Town Clerk Frost at the council sessions, last Monday night. In making mention of the roads ed that they were im very poor shape and were a disgrace both to the town and the county, It pointed out that motorists found it difficult to get to the court house over these thoroughfares and that several cars had to be drawn out. Reeve Jackson charged that the juny had exceeded its duties when it concerned itself over streets which were solely the property of the town. The reeve thought it un- fair that such a report should be made and broadcasted through the whole country by thé press at a time when unpaved streets ana roads in every town and district mn the province were .suffering, He also believed that the grand jury had not really written the present- ment but simply endorsed it and considered that the jury should not have assumed responsibility for something it had not written. Re- ferring to a statement that some opinion that this had emanated from certain ¢~unty officials, Deputy Reeve Underwood' sup- ported Reeve Jackson 'in his com: tention and as chairman of the county property ccmmittee he did not think that the grand jury was correct in dekcribing offices in the court house as unsanitary. Several members of the council mentioned tLag at the time of the Spring as- sizes it was impossible to repar the roads and when Reeve Jacksen. seconded: by Deputy Reeve Under- | woed, moved t the registrar's laid on the table communication unanimous the motion received support, py A communication was 'received from the Imperial Oil Company protesting a - bill of $75.56 for water, the services of the fird brigade and equipment in fillitg a 9,000 gallon gasoline tank. The oil company claimed thai other municipalities had charged considerably less for similar ser- vices. The council opined that all the items included represented actual cost to the town and ap- proved the bill. It was not definite- ly known however whether the tank had been filled once or twie and if filled but once, as suggested by the oil company, provision was made to reduce the bill by $2.25 representing 25 cents per thousand gallons for 9000 gallons, A number of applications for sewers and sidewalks were referred to the streets committee and also an application for installation of a gasoline pump made by Jos.

The committee will call for tenders. Counc. Broughton attempted to censor Counce. Threadgold, chair- man of.the streets committee, for renting a tractor on trial without calling a meeting of his committee. A warm debate resulted. between the two councillors on the matter and it became evident from state- ments made by other members that the council had expected the chair- man of the streets committee to hire this particular tractor for a 15 day period on terms suggested by the tractor company. Counc. Broughton however was not satis- tied and still insisted that nothing should have been done before call- ing a meeting of the streets com- 'mittee. fi Upon recommendation of the finance committee accounts for the 'month totalling $1220.66 were passed 'including, finance,- $87.96; streets, $244.08; fire yf light, $1.48; town property, $71.81; paid and not passed, $809.36, FROM ALL CANADA ottawa, May 8.--One hundred and. nineteen tyepwritten pages of reasons why the broad-casting rights of the International Bible Students' Association should be suspended were tabled by Hon.
