(Oct18; announced yesterday by Miss E. | Receive Nominations EARLY DAYS IN WHITBY In the preceeding two chap- ters on this subject, we have writ- ten of the days when, Port Whitby of today was Windsor Bay with its busy harbour, prior to railway days when "Perry's Corners" con- stituted the heart of Whitby, and when with improvements to roads which were regarded more or less modern in those days many places of business sprung up. Direct descendants of these pion- eer merchants still live in this town and district. These, as al- yepds pointed out, were stage coach days, and ye: earlier news- papers published here record busy shipping days, and carried large volumes of advertising. History records that at one time it was the belief of many that the grester part of the town would be uilt further south, its business section extending, perhaps to the harbour and this belief influenced some decisions as to the location of buildings. The early pioneers of the Presbyterian faith, it is said, had this thought in mind when the fine gothic art brick structure still in use today was built. At one time historic St. John's Anglican Church, Port Whitby, was the only Anglican Church here, but as de- velopment "up town" took place, dnd more Anglicans came, All Saints was built. It cam truly be said, as one turns back the pages of history, and compares present conditions with these prevailing in the early years, that the pioneer builders of Whitby built better than they knew. To them, we of today owe much. We are the beneficiar- ies of their foresight and vision. MADE COUNTY TOWN The Town of Whitby became the capital of Ontario County after an aet of parliament passed in 1851, which came into force January 1st, 1852, when the old county of York was divided into three counties, via., Ontario, York and Peel. The union of the three continued until January, 1854, when Ontario left the union and commenced house- keeping on her won account. By royal Proclamation by Queen Vie- toria, and on behalf of the govern- ment of that day, issued imder the Act already cited, the then village of Whitby Vas, erected into the county town the new coupty. It was an important; day for; the new country and its capital, 'and history reveals that a steady de- velopment of both followed. CIVIC PROBLEMS Perusal of papers like the Whit- by Reporter, one of the first papers here, reveals very little of the prob- lems that confronted the early civ- ic fathers in coping with the|IL.G.A town's growth, but we can rest assured that these were many, and in later articles we hope to touch on some of which we have some | information. The coming of the railways, construction of water and sewerage system, sidewalks, more permanent streets, provision of é&l- ectric power and many others. RAILWAY PROPOSAL y The Whitby Chronicle of January 20, 1859, which in 94 years ago, tells of a proposal to construct the Port Whitby and Lake Huron Railway which was being favour- ably entertained at that time; and which the Town of Whitby was be- ing asked to Bonus. It was not supported by the Chronicle whose proprietors at that time were Hig- gins and Mayerhopper and its place of publication next door to the Registry office, Brock Street, on the ground that it would never pay its way and that Whitby should not be asked to help finance a doubtful undertaking. Incidentally, the gross estimate revenue of the railway the first year was $50,000, a lot of money at that time, of course fourth year estimated rev- enue was 97,655, at which period, its exponents urged, the railvay would be able to pay dividends on stock and relieve municipalities from tax. It is not clear how much Whitby's investment was to be.

SHIELDS an p Mr. Simpson then read the letter from Mr. Harkness, Chief of the Division of Fish and Wildlife for Ontario, explaining the requests made by Council to his Department. It stated that 1. The Coon season would be opened ear- lier vis. September 1. 2. The Mus- krat season would open earlier vis. March 1. and close %s usual on April 21. Dr. Harkness explained in his letter the reasons for no changes in the remaining sugges- tions recommended at former Council meetings. In regard to re- stricting a trapper to a certain area, Dr. Harkness states: -- "Please note that this section is couched in the terms 'May define or designate --'. It is the policy of this Department to assist trappers and Trappers' Councils to estab- lish well defined trapline areas, whenever possible and wherever they will be of benefit to the trap- rs concerned, but the final de- imitation 'of trapline areas are performed only when requested by the trappers themselves. The re- cognition of specific traplines is undertaken only when all concern- ed are in agreement." The Council was privileged in having Dr. Dorland, wild life man- ager of the Lake Simcoe District present at the meeting. Mr. Dor- land answered questions on this same topic of restricting trappers trapping outside their residential areas. He stated one can trap any- where in Ontario providing he owns the land or has a signed lease for the areas on which they wish to trap. Dr. Dorland and his Department were very interested in the report made by Dr. Ken- nedy of the Ontario Veterinary Col- lege regarding the sick coon found 3 WASHER WORK GUARANTEED Complete check ~ up.
