Richardson, Company's Negligence Blamed In Fatality WHITBY (Staff)--A coroner's| jury here Monday, ruled that negligence on the part of a con- struction company was the cause of the death of an 18- year-old university student, The jury was inquiring into the death of Thomas Foster, of Ajax, who was electrocuted on his first day at work with Perini Construction Company of Agin- court, on May 10. The jury also felt that a fore- man should have been in charge of Foster's work party that day, and that new employees should be properly briefed and trained in their duties prior to com- mencing work. Foster had been working with Allen Bonnell, operator of s mo- bile crane, on Salem rd., in Pickering Township, when part of the crane came in contact with overhead power lines. Fos- ter was standing on part of the crane at the time. beg Gray, superintendent with Perini Construction, told the jury that he had gone with check for gravel. "Before they could get to work. Before I left, I Foster to stand clear of crane when it was working. _ Bonnell told the jury he ditch in front of the field. lines. from hydro wire. Bonnell also told the jury first time he noticed Foster when he was slumped over machine. when I saw him and there Foster and Bonnell to Salem rd. where the crane was to be used fo take samples of a field to @rane into the field," he said, "they had to fill in a ditch. It was Foster's job to make sure the road was clear for the crane been using the crane, with a bucket attached, to fill in a "T was swinging the crane around and the boom was about 10 feet away from the hydro Department of Labor regula- tions state the boom of a crane must be at least eight feet away "I swung the boom around a flash from the power lines. I think the cable hit the line. Mr. Bonnell said, after he stopped the crane, he jum: down and started giving Foster mouth to mouth resuscitation, and then ran to a nearby farm to get help. Constable Ray Goodwin, who was a member of the OPP at the time of the accident, and is now a member of the Pickering Township Police, said that when he was investigating the acci- dent he saw burn marks on the cable. "There was a large burn mark on the ground that could have been made from the buck- et and a burn mark on the cable." Constable Goodwin also said that the ground was damp at the time of the accident and that Foster's shoes were wet. M. C. McLeado, Central Re- gion Safety Officer for the On- tario Hydro, said that the rub- ber tires on he vehicle had saved he operator from elec- trocution, Dr. I.

The jury also felt it was strange that this type of acci- dent was not covered by some sort of regulation or safety act. the Theatre Guild Asks Action WHITBY (Staff)--The Whitby Theatre Guild is still in search of storage and working space, it was observed at the town ped council meeting Monday night. Joe Wainwright, president of the guild, appeared before the counci! with a request for in- formation on how soon the for- mer Ontario County building would be made available to the guild. The guild president stated every attempt to find storage or working space had failed and that the guild was losing money it could ill afford by not having suitable quarters. He suggested a space approximately 30 feet square would be adequate and that 'flats' of various sizes would be stored in such accom- modation. Repair and construc- tion work on guild scenery would be another aspect of ac- tivity carried on once a proper home had been found for scen- ery and other items in use. Answering the request, Dep- uty Reeve George Brooks said he failed to understand what was holding up the acquirement of the old County Building since the proposed lease had been in the hands of the council and its solicitor for about a month. The deputy reeve called on the guild to have a little more pati- ence and before too long, it was hoped, the question would be solved.

Council also approved of a suggestion to notify the Whitby Public School Board of the pro- ern section of town, It was stated, however, school board may have already studied the possibility of development in this area. No Contractors For Housing WHITBY (Staff) -- Builders are shying away from low rent- al housing construction in Whit- by, it was stated this week at the town council meeting. Appli- cants for such construction proj- ects under the Natonal Housing Corporation are non-existent. Although some applications had been picked up, there are no builders coming forward with plans for development of low rental homes, Reason for the shortage of builders was de- scribed as a "banner. year" in construction of higher priced homes for sale. The town council will re-apply for contracts to be called by the National Housing Corporati at a future date with the mat- ter not completely closed, it was explained. William Grylls, superintendent of maintenance in the Whitby public schools. "There were sections of the floor that were impossible to clean," Mr. Grylls stated.

Speaking as @ private citizen, Councillor Vernon McCarl sug- gested the county pbuilding would cost the community considerable money for renovation and main- tenance and would not belong to the town. He suggested the county building was unsuitable as'a Centennial project and should be replaced by Heyden- shore Park. The councillor further stated Town To Study Walk Request WHITBY (Staff) -- A petition for a sidewalk on Arthur st., be- tween Henry and Brock st. &., will be studied by the town's streets committee with a recom- mendation to be presented to the town council at a future meeting. The question was aired at the Monday meeting of town eld- ers with a representative of a committee of ratepayers speak- ing for 91 people who signed the petition. The represen tative, Mrs. Joyce Read, a resident of the area, stated school children at- tending Kathleen Rowe Public School must walk. on the nar- row street enroute to school. Deep ditches were said to bor-| der the road described as only 2 feet wide in regard to pave- ment. Although the: streets commit- tee budget has been passed and adopted it was suggested there may be sufficient money left from approved work programs to rectify the situation. Deputy Reeve George Brooks acknowledged the existing dan- ger which he described as a bad road, containing upgrades where motorists' visibility is extremely limited. He stated there sometimes are funds left over from various streets com- mittee projects which could be used on such a problem as the one: now brought forward. : FREEMAN'S FORMAL RENTALS Made to Measure Clothes @ House of Hobberlin @ Tip Top Tailors Council Appoints New Fire Fighters WHITBY (Staff)--The Whitby Volunteer Fire Department was authorized to enroll two new members to the department by the town council at a meeting this week. The new members will replace two firefighters who recently retired from ac- tive duty. The department requested ap- proval of Robert H. Correll and Dennis Arseneau who, it was satted, were selected from a large number of applicants. Both proposed firefighters have passed physical examinations and have been accepted by the department which holds a vote on acceptance or rejection of "ry members, it was explain- ed. trip over the legs of the desk or strip of wood holding them in place." The new desks are a blessing in disguise, the superintendent stated. Each desk can now be moved out of the classroom giving the custodians an oppor- tunity of doing a real good clean-up job."' community centres which should provide sufficient facilities of this nature for everyone. Voicing his disapproval of the councillor's comments was Councillor George Bevan, who stated that Mr. McCarl was too late in complaining about the town's centennial project. 'It is too late to play around with this matter," Mr. Bevan stated. Joining Councillor . Bevan in the objection to Councillor Mc- Carl was Councillor Tom Ed- wards. "The council would look foolish if it changed its centen- nial project at this time," Mr. Edwards stated. He said Mr. McCarl's comment the county building is a poor project, was utter nonsense. "There was a public meeting held to examine suggestions for a centennial project," Councillor Edwards stated," and the ma- jority of the people in attend- ance selected the county build- ing. Shortly after this selec- tion was made a special com- mittee was set up," he added. Cost of the project was ex- plained as one dollar per year for leasing plus maintenance costs, after renovation had been completed. Deputy Reeve George Brooks stated council is being given something any other community would give its right arm to ob- tain. He said the building is completely sound and can be a tremendous help to the citizens of the town and all the organiza- tions looking for a place to hold meetings. : AIDS HOSPITAL WHITBY (Staff) -- Taking advantage of an ideal situ- ation, Mrs. A.
