Phone 703, All Departments Surplus Is Shown In Water Account First In 10 Years o °- ' The Secretary-Treasurer of the Whitby Public Utilities Commission, H. L. Pringle, has issued the annual balance sheet for the Com- mission for the year ending Dec. 31, 1946. The report indicates a favourable financial state for the jocal P.U.C. with a 1046 surplus in "the Waterworks Department amounting to $654.93, This is the first year in ten that the Water- works Department has shown a sur- plus. Mr. Pringle stated that the rea- son for the surplus was the de- cision to raise the water rates to cover a new debenture payment. The Commission voted to ralse the water rates last year when it was learned that the debenture payments to cover the expense of building the new water tank, main extensions and new pumps for the pumping station, would come to $4250 per year for 15 years. Mr. Pringle said that although the amount of the debenture payment would vary from year to year the average payment would be close to 250. He added that the 1946 sur- # plus would be placed against this | debenture. The total assets for the Light De- partment were shown in the state- ment as $324,724.00. This total in- cluded $57,000 representing secur- jties and investments and a Hydro equity amounting to $78,526.49. Liabilities amounted to $12,663.62 in the Light Department and Reserves to a total of $312,060.38. Expenditures for the year amount- ed to $63,684.84 including $4,616 for depreciation. Receipts for the year totalled $81,936.30 leaving a 1946 surplus in this department amount- ing to $18,251.46. The report indicated that the ex- penditures in the Capital Account during the year were as follows: $1334.61; Light Equip.--$143.03; Water Heater Installations -- $674.22. Total--$13,- 678.56.

Ice Too Soft Junior 'C' Game Postponed Here last night's scheduled Junior C hockey encounter between. Whitby and Port Hope in Taylor's Arena was postponed at a late hour in the afternoon when it was decided that the ice surface was too soft to allow good hockey. It is believed that the game has been re-scheduled for tomorrow night in Whitby. Whitby, who are coasting along on the crest of a five-win no-defeat record this year are anxious to get into action against the Port Hope squad and feel fairly certain that when the smoke of battle has clear- ed away they will have their sixth victory under their belt.

Board Of Education Hears Reports And Recommendations The first regular meeting of the 1947 Whitby Board of Education was held last night in the Whitby Public Library and was presided over by the Chairman F. J, Mec- Intyre. Although nothing of unusual im- portance was on the agenda several matters requiring attention were disposed of and the financial report was heard. : A foport was gg from N. Davies and C. W. Booth, school inspectors, in which they reported that during their inspection of the Whitby scools they had found a favourable situation existed. The report made several suggestions for improvement in the school one of which con- cerned the inauguration of a type- writer replacement system. The in- spectors recommended that several new 'typewriters be purchased for use in the high school each year, It was felt by the inspectors that this would prevent a situation whereby the Board would have to purchase a number of typewriters in one year. It was decided that the plan fol- lowed last year whereby the Board provided milk for the children who had long distances to travel to school and remained on the pre- mises during the noon hour should be continued. The meeting was also informed by Mrs. F. Wells that the Whitby Rotary Club was still prov- iding milk for school children who were judged to be under weight by the Victorian Order of Nurses re- presentative, The Whitby High School prin- cipal E. H. Graham gave a report to the Board in which he also re- quested tat a typewriter replace~ ment program be inaugurated. He recommended the purchase of two new machines this year at an es- timated cost of $250. Mr. Graham read the attendance reports for the month of December and 'they indicated an actual attendance of 88.7 per cent. 'He suggested that the reason for this comparative low percentage was the fact that many students had left school shortly 'prior to the Christmas holidays and had started to work for the Christ mas season. He also recommended to. the Board that permission be granted to purchase cadet uniforms up to the number of ten for the coming year. He stated that this was deemed ad- visable in view of the increasing number of students attending the: high school. In addition Mr. Graham request ed permission to purchase a num- ber of school supplies needed by the high school. R. A. Sennett, principal of the Whitby Public Schools gave his report to the Board and stated that BD. OF EDUCATION (Continued on Page 5) 'Club Bayview To Perc.
