Although the Whitby Police Association asked for increases for all ranks, the chief matter to be settled is that of the wages of a first class con- stable, then other scales will fall in. The association asks a raise from $4,500 yearly to $5,100. Chairman of the board of arbi- tration is Judge Colin Bennett, of Owen Sound. Appointee of the Police Association is Charles L. Dubin, QC, of Toronto, and E. M. Dillon, QC, also of To- ronto, is the appointee of the Board of Police Commissioners. The hearing, in the Whitby council chamgers, was conclud- ed by the noon adjournment when both sides had presented their respective briefs. It is ex- pected that the arbitration board's ruling will be received in several days. Its ruling will i mark the first time in recent temporary quarters for the next six to eight weeks. After the PUC office renovations have been completed the old house will be removed to make room for customer parking space.

Dealing with the matter of wages, Mr. Humphreys pro- duced a list of municipalities and the rate of pay for first class constables. These ranged from $5,100 (in Toronto Town- ship and Metro) down to $4,600 (in Pembroke). In Oshawa, a first class constable is paid $4,925. "It is difficult to understand why Whitby police or any other police force from Oshawa to Niagara Falls," said Mr. Hum- phreys, "should not be on a parity at least with Metro To- ronto." He said that these municipal- ities are as well able to pay as Toronto and the work is exact- ly the same as is the cost of living. LESS THAN SWEEPER Regarcing local wages, Mr. Humphreys charged that Whit- by police are being paid less than security guards at Osh- awa's GM plant, He said that Whitby officers receive $2.16 per hour and a sweeper in GM re- ceives $2.19 per hour. A Whitby Public School teacher, he said, rereives $5,700 with 10 years' experience. He also produced an average budget for a family of four, which, he said, included no frills and not even a motor car. He said that the budget esti- mates that the necessities of life for a family of four cost $4,745.88 per year. "The wages paid Whitby police are inadequate and should be substantially increas- ed," said Mr. Humphreys, "at least to $5,100." BOARD'S CASE Presenting the other side of the case, that of the Board of Police Qoammissioners, Duncan Dunlop Canada, Mr. McIntyre said that a sergeant of that force makes $81 per week, while a first class constable in the town receives $86.54. In ad- dition, Mr. McIntyre noted that the guards work a 48-hour week to the officer's 40-hour week. ABILITY TO PAY Turning to the matter of the town's ability to pay more for police protection, Mr. McIntyre quoted from the results of ques- tionnaires he had sent out to several municipalities chosen at random. He said that it appear- ed that Whitby spends a larger percentage of its budget on police work than the group of towns, although its percentage of industrial assessment was lower than the average indus- trial assessment of those towns. "These figures show that an increase in the police budget until additional industrial as- sessment is obtained, 'would throw an undue load on the home owner," he said. He, too, produced a schedule of police salaries from various towns and small cities. "Among the cities," he said, "several pay less than Whitby and most pay little more. This is shown by the averages. "Whitby's rate of $4,500 is larger than the average paid in the average of all towns and only slightly lower than the average paid in the average of all the cities. It is also high- er than the average of the sal- aries in the average of the cities and towns combined." SALARY INCREASES Speaking finally to the mat- ter of salary increases, Mr. Mc- Intyre produced a schedule of the increases made in eight towns from 1956 to 1961. "I wish to impress upon this board that this schedule in- cludes 1961 increases and in all cases, it is only this last in- crease for 1961, with the excep- tion of Richmond Hill, which has brought these salaries to the Whitby level, and even Rich- mond Hill did not catch up until 1960. "You will see from this sched- ule that the Whitby Police Force was treated generously during the period of industrial growth," said Mr. McIntyre, in summing up. "The Whitby Police Force got its share. The other forces are now only re- ceiving their's. "Whitby has had no industrial growth in the last two years. It has remained static. The only increase Whitby has had has been the tax rate which jumped from 60.4 mills in 1959 to 71.8 in 1960 and again to 76.4 in 1961. It is submitted that there is no influence in Whitby today to jus- tify an increase in the salaries of the police officers," he con- cluded. Mrs. S. Martin Entertains Club The regular meeting of Unity Club (Rebekah), Whitby, was held at the summer home of Mrs. Stan Martin, at Port Perry. The members arrived at 3 p.m. and spent an afternoon of relaxation. Some went swim- ming and at 5.30 p.m. sat down to the most delightful pot luck supper.

He said that the cost of living from 1953 to December 1960 had increased only 12.8 per cent whereas the salary of a first class constable had risen from $3,000 to $4,500 in that same period, an increase of 50 per cent. During this same period, he said, the work week of the offi- cers had been reduced from 48 to 40 hours, thus enabling the officers to work considerable overtime and increase his pay substantially. Basing a portion of his argu- ment on the rates of pay within the town of Whitby, Mr. Mec- Intyre produced pay scales for attendants at the Ontario Hospi- tal; turnkeys at the County Jail; guards at Dunlop Canada; and the Ontario Provincial Police. COMPARES SALARIES He said that he believed that the service of an attendant supervisor at the Ontario Hospi- tal is comparable to the rank of The assistant chief attendant, he said, earned| only $4,600. Referring to the wages at the county jail, he said that the posi- tion of a chief turnkey is at least the equivalent of a first constable and is paid $4,600. He noted that the OPP officers work a 48-hour week and must be employed more than four years before receiving the $4,600. Regarding security guards at MIDWAY o SERVICE 3 GAL.
