THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, The Whitby Daily Times '8 Advertising, ays J 'Hamar"s "Corners Cannot Secede From Town of Whitby Whitby's Town Clerk 'Quotes Ontario Statutes to Support His Contention That Non-Farmers of Whitby Could Not Join Township. WOULD BE ISOLATED IF FARMERS SECEDED Corner is Surrounded by Farms Which, by Seced- ing, Would Isolate It from Rest of the Town -- Many Complications (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, April 24,--The east end of the town, often referred to as Hamar's Corners, could not be an- nexed to the township if annexa- tion were decided upon by the farmers residing within the muni- cipal limits, according to Town Clerk J. R. Frost. Yesterday in an Interview with The Times, Council- lor Chas. Broughton, prominent lo- ral farmer, expressed the opinion that this section would have to be Included in the township if the pwners of three-fifths of the am- punt of the assessed value of the. tarm lands should succeed in an application to the Ontario Railway and; Municipal Board. During the course of the interview it had been pointed out that farm properties lay in between the east end and the central section of the town. Town Clerk Frost does not con- form with this opinion, however, and in discussing the matter yes- terday he referred to Chapter 233, Section 21, of the Revised Statutes of Ontario, dealing with the sub- ject of ratepayers seeking to with- draw from one municipality into another, Here it is stated that the application shall be made by the municipality or "of such number of the owners of any lands therein wholly used for farming purposes as shall represent at least three- fifths of the amdunt of the assess- ed value of all the lands proposed to be detached from the town or village." Town Clerk Frost stated that it was evident from this clause theo application for withdrawal could be made only by the owners of lands wholly used for farming purposes and that it could not therefore ef- fect houses, buildings and lots not used for farm purposes. East end residents enjoyed wat- er, light, street lights, sidewalks, police and fire protection. There was little likelihood that they would favor entering the township and thus lose these advantages. Moreover there seemed to be no provision whereby they could pe- tition the Railway and Municipal Board even if they so desired be- cause their property was not classi- fied as farm property, he said. It is thus evident that if the Rail- Evening rates on station-to-station tele- phione calls now begin at 7.00 p.m. with about 25% off the day rate.

The farm of CG. Broughton fronts Dun- das street on the north side, while W. A. Broughton's farm faces tae street from the south. Residents are asking that if both farms be- came part and parcel of Whitby township would Reeve Croxall and his faithful body of henchmen be faced with the necessity ot taking over a portion of Dundas street? This seems impossible as Hamar's Corners would be cut off from the parent municipality and hemmed in by the township on all sides. A minor insurrection might be oe- rasioned, the august legislators finding themselves embroiled in difficulties such as faced the de- partment of highways in the late lamented gravel pit dispute between the town and township. Many Complications When the situation is viewed closely it is seen to present more land more difficulties, If the farm- ers petition the Railway Board and their petition is received with fa- vor then troubles would arise. It seems incredible that any public body would consider severing an or- ganized municipality so that its map might come to represent no- thing more than a crazy patch-work quilt. There is a complicated sys- tem of sewers, waterworks street and domestic lighting, sidewalks and roads which can not be dis- turbed without tremendous loss while the legal costs alone might overbalance any advantage which the farmers could hope to achieve by joining the township. STOUFFVILLE MAN [5 COMMITTED TO ONTARIO HOSPITAL Found Wandering in Picker- ing Township, Did Not Know His Name (By Staff Reporter) 'Whitby, Apri 24.--George Bond, formerly of Stouffville, who was found wandering in the vicinity of the Second Concession of Pick- ering township last Friday by County Constable Chester was committed to the Ontario Hospital - Monday afternoon by Magistrate J. i Willis after an examination had been conducted by Doctor C.
