"I would suggest a survey of Whitby," Mr. Collins said, "Sur- veys have been conducted in many municipalities and twelve points are generally included." | ies the | ters from desirous of locating branch compan- speaker advised Chamber of Commerce keep in touch with the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa, the industrial departments of the great railroads, banks and insurance companies and the foreign consuls stationed at vari- ous points through the Dominion, Letters Reliable directories of Canadian in- dustries, he stated, were available and' the® Chamb of ce might do well to issuc circular let- time to time to these companies jigesting the advantages to be found in Whitby.

WHITBY PEOPLE SLIP AND SLIDE ON ICY WALKS Viny (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Jan. 18--In spite of the slippery condition of the streets mo accidents were reported in Whitby last night. This is considered for- tunate as both highways entering the town were in very dangerous condition and it was practically an impossibility for cars to operate without chains. Even then the chances of skidding were great. Service From six o'clock to ten o'clock there was no bus service to Oshawa or Bowmanville and persons desir- ous of reaching either of these towns had to have recourse to taxis. Walks The sidewalks were also in bad condition on account of the ice and many persons sustained bad falls or had marrow escapes from falling. Today this condition has been reme- died with the use of sand.
