As a result of a decision handed down by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario the archi- tect's plans for the new Whitby Public Utility building have had to be considerably revised to bring the estimated cost of the structure in line with the HEP.C.'s "ceiling" of $50,000. Herbert L. Pringle, Super- intendent of the local P.U.C., said yesterday that instead of a mod- ern two-storey structure as was first planned for the new building will have to be confined to one storey.

He added that the new plans are in the hands of the archi- tect and will shortly be submitted to the HE.P.C. for final approval. If ang when the new plans are aprroved the new Luilding will be the most modern structure' of its kind in the area. Although the top storey has been omitted from the plans at the present time officials of the P.U.C. here say that the construction of the building will al- low for the addition of a second storey at a later date and in addi- tion the possibility of adding the rooms omitted from the basement and ground floors will be consider- ed. The P.U.C. already has enough money in the form of bonds or cach in the bank to pay for the constrac- tion of the new building. The only obstacle in the way at the present is the necessary approval of the HEPC. for the expenditure and in view of the fact that the esti- mated cost of the revised building will be in the neighborhood of the "ceiling" it seems assured that no difficulty will be experienced now. The new building will front on Brock St. S., when construction be- gins and the architect in charge of the project believes that the many scientifically located win- dows will provide an unusual amount of natural light. The workshops and garages in the buildings will provide a great deal more space for P.U.C. em- ployees who at the present time are wi in very crowded quarters in the Town Hall building.

The meeting, called by the recently appointed special committee of the Whitby Board of Education under the chairmanship of G. M. Good- fellow, was attendetl by about twen- ty members of the various munici- pal and educational bodies. Although no definite conclusions were arrived at at the meeting a motion was passed to the effect that public meetings would be called by the various boards in the near fu- ture and to which would Be invited representatives of thie Provincial Department of Education as well as members of the other boards and committees concerned. The idea for the enlargement of secondary schoo] areas throughoyt Ontario County was first broached in a series of meetings held several months ago under the sponsorship of a special committee on second- ary school education appointed by the Ontario County Council, At that time representatives of the Ontario Department of Education outlined a plan whereby several municipalities could join together in forming a larger secondary 'school area and which, in the opin- ion 'of the Department, would be more econcemical and would assist in providing a more complete class of secondary school education which would include specialized courses for the rural students who were not in need of the regular matriculation course in its entirety. It was pointed out, however, that in' order to do this it would be necessary to have more than 300 pupils attending the school and the area concerned would need an as- sessment of more than $7,000,000. Various representatives of the different areas and bodies were al- lowed to address last night's meet- ing and air their views in this somewhat controversial subject. William Murkar of Pickering told the gathering that he was a com- NIGHT © Wed. July PORT HOPE Adults 50c Harrisburg Giants (coloured) VS. Port Hope Intermediates IN Under Floodlights Children 25¢ BALL 23 at 8.30 BALL PARK rarative newcomer to such discus- sions and that he did not knowiza great deal about the proposed plam. However, he said that it would ap - pear as though the proposed chang ¢ is much more serious now thangfit would have been 25 years ago. Mr. Murkar said that recently he had been told that the days of the Continuation Schools were num. ~ bered and that he was extrem/g]y sorry to: hear this because under the present system many rural pui- pils received a two-year secondaz y school education who would no} normally do so if they were force: fl to go any distance to a high schog {. He said that he was assured that the ratepayers of school districk No. 4 west, were behind the cor tinuation school and that he woud not like to take the a of closing the continuation schd-ol as would appear to be the on |y solution if a new and enlarged di 5- trict was formed. Mr. Croxall, a representative d of the Brooklin Continuation Schc ol also declared that he would not ipe in favor of any definite move-41a|a matter like this until the ratepay« fs of the area had been advised of k he plan possibly jn an open meeting', Thomas Hammond, of the Cle! re- mont Continuation School Boz rd, concurred with the two prey] ous speakers by saying that he wd ald not like to take the responsibility = of signing away the Claremont scl 100] without the sanction of the nate- payers of the area. . Francis J, McIntyre, chairmain of the Whitby School Board and an ex-officio member of the spe cial committee, told the meeting. 4that the proposal was one that required a great deal of thought on the jjart of members of the bodies from the different municipalities. He said that he was sure in his ownJymind that the proposals had a great deal of merit in them in many ways: and that it would seem that if sucl\ ac- tion was taken it would urely mean the closing eventually Ad all continuation schools. y One of the chief matters of ,con- ing was the question of cost 1. the taxpayer in proportion to the. cost of secondary school educatiizh at the present time. It was fel ij, al- though no accurate figures were available at the meeting, th 1t in the long run the new scheme 'would mean a considerable saving 'to the ratepayers in the areas whe» were at present supporting contirg nation schools.

Mrs. Harvey, who had kyeen in ill health for some years, was an ardent lover of church and its ac- tivities when able to get (mt and had been a very active we rker in the Salvation Army for many years before moving to Oshawa tv jo years ago.

(Buster) Wigle has re- | linguished his positicn as president {of the council. No successor has | been named. 1 4 cern to those attending the :rneet- p {in the north end of town at the northwest corner of the Kinsmen Memorial Park is gradually taking lshape although H. L. Pringle, su- 'perintendent of the P.U.C. stated | yesterday that the work was pro- ceeding slower than had at first been expected. He said that at the present rate of construction it would be another month before the tower is completed and ready for use. Another problem which has con- fronted P.U.C. officials regarding the project is the steadily increas- ing cost of the structure. Mr. Prin- gle said today that although the original estimate was for $32,750, it, is expected that the completed project will run closer to $40,000. "One consolation, however," he added, "is the fact that the same problem i$ confronting nearly every other builder in the country. The main increase so far as we are con- cerned is in the price of steel which has jumped up considerably since the project was started and it may take another upward surge before we are through." Still another "headache" as far as P.UC. officials are concerned is the fact that when the new tank is connected up there is the possibil- ity of miniature fountains of water springing up all over town when the already old and extended water systems refuse to take any more pressure, Mr, Pringle pointed out that the new tank will increase the water pressure in the town almost 22 pounds per square inch and will bring the total pressure which the lines have to carry to approximate- ly 70 pounds per square inch. Mr. Pringle said that "as though this was not bad enough there is a definite possibility that the plumb- | ing in many private homes and buildings in the town will not be strong enough to withstand the sudden increase of pressure." He said that this fact will have to be advertised to-the ratepayers of Whitby and they will have to take steps accordingly, \ "We have had an gxtremely busy and successful year and in check- ing over figures to date I find that altogether there has been laid a total of 20 new sewers and water systems , and there still remain 30 sewers and water systems yet to be installed." Mr. Pringle added that despite the fact that the cost of construction and labor has increased consider- ably during the year it was likely that his office would be able to re- main within their annual esti- mated expenditure provided by the Town of Whitby for such- work.
