J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 ° WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, September 10, 1953 COLLEGE OPENS FOR EIGHTIETH YEAR Yesterday the Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby opened its doors for the 80th acadamic year with over 100 students re- gistered, and, according to | Principal Dr. 8. L. Osborne, there will be more. The at- tendance is expected to be larger than last year. Eight dif- ferent countries are represent- | | ed because of the fine reputation the college enjoys in many lands of being one of the.finest ed- ucational institutions of its kind to be found anywhere. Photo by LeRoy Toll Officers Shoot Stray Dog. Town Pays $30 To Replace "Of all the dogs in Whitby they had to shoot this one," was Mayor Harry Jermyn's comment when Whitby Town Council was present: ed with a' bill of $30 for a dead dog. The accdunt was presented by a Whitby resident who claimed that the Police - Department had disposed of his valuable hound pup on the day after its purchase when it broke loose and ran away. Mayor Jermyn stated that he had been talking to the owner of the hound pup and had been tol that he had pruchased the do on a Friday and on the following day it managed to escape. Officers of the Police Deraymen, he said, had picked the dog up and placed it in the cruiser. He added that there was no place in Whitby fo the officers to leave the dog an they had carted it around all after- noon before it became sick in the car and eventually wound up dead. His Worship stated that he had told the resident to buy another dog and send the bill to the Town Council. In discussing the matter with Chief Constable Fletcher, he said, the Chief had stated that it was his opinion that the dog should be replaced under the circum: stances, Councillor Doris Holliday observed that there seemed no recourse other than to replace the dog. It was unusual she said, for the police not to try to trace the owner. She made 'a motion that the town pay the bereaved owner $30. Councillor Willard Dodd sec: onded the motion. "A most unusual thing' com- mented His Worship when the motion carried. Stokers D Kingston FOR DOUG MANTZ Whi Stokers last night de- feated ton Royals by a score of five to four. The game was fast with a good brand of ball. Both teams were on their toes and the fans went home well pleased with the result. The win gives the Stokers the lead in the best-of-three games for the Eastern Ontario Senior B Zone Championship. The second game of the series will be played in Kingston on Saturday afternoon at 5.45. The Kingston team does not have access to floodlights hence the unfortunate starting sme.

He advanced to second when Cur- ran drove the ball past third for a single to left field. Bill First- brook scored both Gow and Cur- ran when, he drove another hard grounder past third base with the ball stopping in deep left field. Hooch took over and struck out the next two batters to retire the side. : The Stokers roared back in their half of the sixth when Doc Mec- Ewen worked Deasy for a walk. Dick Sundin was safe when Deasy bobbled his well-laid bunt. They both advanced when Knibb drew the second walk of the innings. Veteran Taffy Main came through in the pressure period with a sharp double to centre field. Doc and efeat Royals hit. Loreno popped to Don Lyon at second for Kingston. Martin Jor- dan was safe when Lyon elected to try to cut off Nibby from the plate when Martin had hit a slow roller. Al Welch was called out on strikes and Bill Procunier flied out to left field. The Simonett sponsored team went down in order in the seventh. Mell (our old friend Hooch under his baptismal name) Meulemeister started things humming with a \circuit smash to left field that drew the fans to their feet with a roar. Doc McEwen hit to his wrong field safely. Dick Sundin laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt. Deasy fielded the ball and threw to first as McEwen rounded second and keep going for third. Sundin was out on a very close call. Rank who had replaced Curran on first base threw wildly to third and Doc scored on the overthrow into the crowd. Knibb and Mayne followed with singles but the rally faded when Loreno was called out on strikes and Martin Jordan flied out to" céntre. The Royals threatened the two- run lead in the first of the eighth. Deacy went out on three pitched balls for Meulemeister's 11th strike out. Tabby Gow singled to right field and advagced to second when Leonard drew a free pass. First- brook kept going and Jimmy toss- ed the ball to Sundin for the out at second.

The Kingston players protested loud and long in the sixth inning when the ball slipped out of Meule- meister's hand as he started his pitch. The ball rolled free in the infield and Jimmy Loreno punched on it. Bill Firstbrook, who was on third for Kingston, raced home. The umpires ruled the attempted pitch a dead ball and awarded the batter a ball. Firstbrook went back to third and died there. Meulemeister had 13 strike-outs and gave up two walks. P. Deasy, a former English cricket bowler, struck out nine Stokers and gave up four walks. Both pitchers pitch- ed good ball but Mel had the ad- vantage. The four Kingston hits were scattered among three play- ers. Tabby Gow, the Kingston lead- off man, got two of the hits and scored two runs. Leonard and Firstbrook each had one hit while Leonard and Curran each scored a run. Taffy Main led the Whitby offensive with three hits for four times at bat. Doc McEwen scored two runs while Dick Sundin, Knibb and Mel Meulemeister each cross- ed the plate once.

Whitby Adopts Building By-Law,New PermitFees . Whitby Council has passed a new building. by-law and has es- tablished a new scale of rates for payment of permits. At this week's meeting of Council, a new build- ing by-law was enacted, in- corporated into which was a new schedule for the payment of per- mits, formerly paid for on the basis of the amount the building would cost when completed. Under the new scale, permits will be paid for according to the size of the building. The minimum permit will be $2. A by-law to appoint a building and plumbing inspector was not read pending further work by the applications committee. The only matter whith was dis- cussed at any length, in the lengthy by-law, was the matter of rates for permits. Councillors have for some weeks been studying copies of the by-law at their. homes and the by-law was not read in council. Other minor changes were agreed upon in the by-law which was specially drafted for the use of small municipalities such as the town of Whithy. PROPOSES NEW METHOD It was Mayor Harry Jermyn who took the lead in suggesting a change in the method of ¢harg- ing for the building permits. He claimed that the method used in the town in the past, that of com- puting the fee from the value of the house, was not very satis- factory. He proposed a system whereby the price of the fee would be arrived at by means of the cubic foot measurement of the building. His suggested rate was 50 cents per thousand cubic feet for the first 12,000 cubic feet; 40 $25 cents per thousand cubic feet for, the second 6,000 cubic feet; and 30 cents per thousand cubic feet for the remainder. The average home, he explained, cost about $11,500 and had a cubic content of 18,500 cubic feet. At his pro- posed schedule, the permit would | cost $8.70. Councillor Willard Dodd pointed out that the building permit in Pickering Township for such a house would cost $11 and $12.50 in North York. Councillor Dodd then proposed another schedule, this one for both commercial and domestic building. 20,000 cubic feet would cost the owner 50 cents per thousand cubic feet; the second 20,000 cubic feet would cost 40 cents per thousand and all over 40,000 cubic feet would cost 30 cents per thousand. Councillor Oscar Moore objected to such rates. 'You are soaking the ple. WITH ARCHITECT Councillor Dodd's proposal was placed in the form of a motion and carried. He then proposed that if the construction of the building, be it domestic or com- mercial, be supervised by a regis- tered architect, the fee be a flat Mayor Jermyn objected, claim ing that if an architect were super- vising there would be no work for the building inspector other than make out the necessary forms. He sig ested a fee for this purpose ol S "Is it not possible for an arch- itect to make a mistake?" asked Councillor Dodd. His worship countered with another question, 'Are we charging for something the buyer doesn't get?". Councillor Everett Quantrill then moved that the fee for permits issued for building supervised by an architect, either domestic or commercial, be $10. The motion carried. Councillors later decided to al- low the above scale to apply also to industrial building. WHAT COUNCIL DID . RENOVATED Councillors of Whithy commented this week on the appearance of the council chambers, recently re- decorated. Among the changes noted was a new hardwood floor and a complete redecoration of the room. Caretaker Clarke was warm- ly thanked by many members of council for the painting of the room. Noted missing in the room was the furnace and councillors were advised by John Rae, Works Foreman, that a heating system would soon have to be installed. FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Mayor Harry Jermyn was au- thorised by Council yesterday to declare the week of October 4th to 10th as Fire Prevention Week in Whitby. The suggestion came from the Ontario Fire Marshal who also sent literature on how to observe the week. BAD NEWS Town Clerk John R. Frost an- nounced that he had bad news for Council. The Ontario Department of Highways had sent a letter stat- ing that they had overpaid, as subsidy to the town, the amount of $1,497.31. Chief item, said the let- ter, was tree trimming for which the department had paid a subsidy of 100 percent. The letter stated that the town was only eligible for 50 percent and reduced the sub- sidy accordingly. FOR NEXT YEAR A request for a sewer on Ash Street north of Chestnut Street was referred to Council of 1954. Coun- cillors claimed that there was no room in the budget for that sewer this year. Mayor Jermyn observed "I would like to see the town in a position to give them the sewer and charge them at so much per foot frontage." HIRE FIREMAN A resignation was received and another man was retained by coun- | Volunteer Fire Brigade. The resig- nation of William Steffler was re- received and Fred Hatch was ap pointed to the Department. FALLING DOWN Works Foreman John Rae re- ported that a hefty section of the fire bell tower at the rear of the town hall had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, he said, no one had been underneath i. when it landed but indications were that it might be wise tp remove the tower. He pointed out that if a power failure should occur, the alarm could be sounded merely by using the siren in the new truck. No action was taken.

DEATHS CLARENCE JOHN HALLET Cut Off Service {enforced by Those in Arrears The provisions of the Power Com- mission Act which require that power service be discontinued to users who are fifteen days in ar. rears, after a two months' bill has been rendered, or after the final discount date, are to be strictly the Public Utility Commission, it was decided last evening at the September meeting. After a service is discontinued it costs a dollar to have it restored. The Commission -is desirous of upholding the hand of the collea tion department in getting all bills paid promptly. Under the Act, which the secretary read to the Commission, there is no alternative to service discontinuance in the case of arrears. MANY BILLS PASSED Accounts to the amount of $55,621.43 were passed for payment by the Commission. Much of this was for repayment of loans, pay- ments on debentures and the pur- chase of materials for theylight, water and sewer departments, all | of which are operated by the Com- | mission. One item of $7,907.19 is for | power purchased from the Hydro | Electric Power Commission in| ly. BUSINESS LEFT OVER Left over until the next meeting, owing to the absence of Mayor Jermyn who was at a Council meeting, was a resolution which would establish a definite policy with respect to the financing of water and sewer extension to sub- divisions. Chairman James Ross presided over the meeting and with him were Commissioners Jake Bryant, Harold P. Phin and J. H. Ormiston. R. L.
