Mayor Ernest Marks said to- day city council has about reached the limit of 1967 expen- ditures but that civic legisla- tors may take a hard look for money to help complete the plans, The mayor's comment follow- ed remarks yesterday from Terence Kelly who says the city should take the lead in sponsoring the development, third phase of auditorium con- struction. Mr. Kelly, campaign chair- man in two public drives for auditorium - construction funds, says he would not recommend THIEVES STEAL 12 MAIL BOXES WHITBY (Staff) -- The phone at the Whitby head- quarters of the Ontario Provincial Police detach- ment was ringing steadily this morning as Uxbridge Township residents called to report the theft of mail boxes.

The Civic Auditorium board of directors has not formally requested civic backing. If and when it does, board of control would give it serious thought, Mayor Marks says, Over the last few years pub- lic campaigns have raised more than $1,000,000 for audi- torium projects and reports ins. dicate that about $40,000 will be left over for phase three, Gove ernment grants might total about $25,000 -- leaving a total balance of some $235,000. Mr. Kelly says the Kinsmen Stadium in the Oshawa Creek valley could be sold to finance the auditorium's outdoors ex. pansion. He has labelled the stadium as "antiquated."

Two weeks ago board of con- trol asked city treasurer Frank Markson to investigate the po- sition after Ald. Gordon Atters- ley, a member of the library board, had drawn attention to it Ald.
