Town To Deepen Drainage Ditches WHITBY (Staff) -- Plans to drainage trenches alongside two Whitby streets 'oked fiery opposition from y heeve George Brooks at Monday night's Town Coun- cil meeting. "IT am very firmly against this form of trench drainage," he told councillors.:"'I thought we had got past the horse and era. "These trenches are a danger to children. They are being built along residential streets. I can remember some years ago a kiddy in town fell into a of these ditches. He nearly To relieve flood water the town plans to dig the trenches along Anne and Burns streets. The trenches will be some seven feet in width and four feet deep. MUST BE SAFE "I can see," went on Deputy Reeve Brooks, 'that the water has to go somewhere, but if we need this kind of drainage we should make it safe for local children, "T am sure that if a subdivid- er came to us and said that he planned to install open cut drainage we would give him a flat 'no'." Replying, Mayor Warren Mowat said the cost of install- ing storm sewers had been in- vestigated and found to be too costly at this point. It was a matter of necessity, he said, that the trenches be dug as soon as possible. "We have no right to en- danger the lives of the citizens of this town," snapped back Deputy Reeve Brooks. "These trenches are dangerous." Mayor Mowat failed to see why the matter had become such a big issue. "We have compared the costs," he repeated. "Right now it is financially impossible to install storm sewers," Councillor Robert Attersley agreed the ditches were not the most satisfactory method of drainage. "But," he added, "I have to go. along with the proposal as this is the only practical way." Councillor Tommy Edwards "disliked" the idea of open cut drainage, too, but said that he had to go along with the pro- posal. "This is the best way at the moment," he said. A minority of one, Deputy Reeve Brooks challenged the council on recent work on a drainage ditch done in Annes street. The ditch he said had been widened to some seven feet in width and four feet in depth. 'Who authorized the expendi- ture of this," he said? CLEANED DITCH It was explained that the council had only cleaned out the ditch of weeds and rub- bish. According to an official report the ditch had not been deepened by more than four inches. "You ask anyone on the street," retorted Deputy Reeve Brooks. "That ditch was deep- ened considerably and who au- thorized the expenditure? This was no ordinary maintenance." Deputy Reeve Brook's chal- lenge that. the ditch had been deepened went unanswered. In a recorded vote the pro- ject was approved by seven votes to one, with Deputy Reeve George Brooks being the only "nay."

Boost Height Hose Tower WHITBY (Staff) -- A mistake in planning will add a further $866 to the cost of Whitby's new Fire Hall on Brock street south. The problem, town coun- cillors were told Monday night, lies in the hose tower of the new building. According to plans this should have been high enough for the hanging up of 25 feet of hose. There had to be room at the top for the ribbing to hold the fire hose and space at the bot- tom 'so that the hose would clear the ground. Unfortunately, council were informed, it didn't turn out this way. The tower has to be in- creased in height to cater to the fire hose. j So that the job could be done, council approved the expendi- ture of a further $866. The town's Volunteer Fire Brigade will move into the new building Feb. 10. At that time the fire fighting equipment will be moved to allow wreckers to knock down the old fire build- ing. a SPOT > SPECIAL BOOTS, BOOTS WINTER BOOTS Black, Red, Brown 10 in - 12 in. - 15 in.
