li e's Ltr Sr lp cman Se ofa E55 FEIT SN 2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Dec. 4, 1974 Durham Briefs REGION IN DEBT $1.160.000 ALREADY The Region of Durham was $1,160,000 indebt at the end of October. J. L. Gartley, Commissioner of Finance, reported to regional council that $800.000 of this had been borrowed from the Borough of North York at a rate of 11.4 per cent and $360.000 of the amount from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce at 11.5 per cent. : DURHAM SUPPORT RESOLUTION FROM VICTORIA Durham has gone on record supporting a Victoria County Resolution asking that the province subsidize 80 per cent of the operating costs of the Children's Aid Society. J. L. Gartley, commissioner of Finance, said that about 70 per cent of the $1,243,939 budget of the Durham region Children's Aid Society was subsidized in 1974. Mr. Gartley said budget amounts would be easier to calculate and predict in advance and there would be less delay in getting Ministry approval of budgets if the proposal is accepted. REGIONAL SURVEY SHOWS RENTS HIGH IN DURHAM More than 60 per cent of the families applying to the Durham housing registry for help last month were mother less families. Of the 66 families that applied for housing, 30 were relocated by the service. A survey by the region's Social Service Department showed that average rent for a house in the region exceeded ~ $300. a month. DURHAM HIRES CONSULTANT TO REVIEW SALARIES After turning down a similar motion three weeks ago, Durham council decided last week to hire Stevenson and Kellogg to review the positions and salaries of top management personnel at the cost of $9,000 to $10,000. Council also turned down a $21,000 study by Hicklin-John- ston Limited to do basically the same study. REGION RESPONSIBLE FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Industrial development should remain the responsibility of the region, according to William McAdams, Planning and Development Commissioner. : Mr. McAdams presented a 22-page report to council in which he suggested that the development director continue to 'report to the Planning and Development committee. But Mr. McAdams suggested that each area municipal- ity should select liason people to consult with regional people regarding industry.

Council wants advice (continued) The company would enter into. an agreement with the township that would allaw the township to take rent money to bring services up to standards if the develop- ment company failed to do 50. ° Coun. Neil Hunter said since this was a new idea and there questions, council should seek some expert advice. The mayor said he was going to regional meetings this week and would discuss the matter with regional officials. Coun. Reg Rose said the development company would make the profit on depreciation. Mr. Rose said that while the home itself would decrease in value over the years, the land would increase in value. Mr. Orton said that a person would pay $45,000 over a ten year period for a modular home. The modular homes are basically a permanent, manufactured home which meet all Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation Standards, Mr. Orton said. "This is one of the first H.O0.M.E. style, private sub- division in Canada," Mr. Orton said. "There are four other such plans now being proposed." were unanswered ° Driver Gary Beddows stands beside this tractor-trailer which turned on its side in a Friday afternoon accident on Highway 7 & 12 at the Reach Road.

Should Durham's new Coat-of-Arms have .seven sheaves of wheat and a monkey wrench on it? This was the suggestion of Coun. John Goodwin of Whit- by after Mayor James Potti- cary of Oshawa complained that a sheaf of wheat didn't represent Oshawa. The "suggested Coat-of- Arms has eight sheaves of wheat on it, each one repre- senting one of the eight regional municipalities. Mr. Potticary said some- thing like a car would repre- sent Oshawa better. Coun. Keith Ross of Osh- awa complained that it look- Sewage lagoon (continued) jected maximum increase of 1,200 people was consider- ably short of other project- than 3,000 people. Mr. Kennedy said council did not have to use the total sewage capacity for residen- ed like thé Beaver on the Coat-of-Arms was munching on one of the sheaves of wheat. Mr. Potticary said the wigwam of the Coat-of-Arms could represent the present government and its housing policy. He also objected to having the St. Andrew's Cross on the emblem. He said St. Joseph was Canada's patron saint. Mayor Carl Puterbough of - Uxbridge was asked to bring back a more refined drawing of the proposal.
