Passes Four By-laws In Forty Minutes--Call For Ten-Year Fixed Assess- ments of $1000 for Three New Firms Town Council last night at one of thelr shortest meetings, passed four by-laws in forty minutes, three of the by-laws granting fixed .assess- ments to three Whitby firms, and the fourth setting the date of the vote on the bylaws for Saturday, September 14. The three .money bylaws recely- | ed two readings from the Council, and were passed unanimously. They now require a two thirds majority from the voters before they become law, To pass the Council they had to be approved by three quarters of the members, Those qualified to vote on a money bylaw will cast their ballots from 10 am, until 7 p.m, on Sept- ember 14, at polling ths in the schools, the library or the Council Chambers. The ballot will he a single one with the names of the three firms on it, as each agreement must be approved separately, For Ten Years There was very little discussion of the bylaws as they passed the Council, Each one grants a fixed assessment of $1000 for ten years to one of the firms, along with terms of the agreement. For the 8. K, Wellman Company of Canada Limited, the bylaw calls for bulldings to cost not less than $20,000, and after describing the land on which the plant is to be bullt, states that if, in any one of the ten years the agreement covers, he firm falls to employ from 50 to 75 workers, un due to cause be yond their trol, the agreement will not apply, The dings of the Natlie Com- pany are to cost not less than $15, 000, and the firm is to employ from 80 to 76 persons or their agreement does not apply, For the Empire Pigt and Boys- wear Company, wh fac is being built on Brock et North, the limits are $8,000 and fr 25 le For Other Taxes Each of the bylaws states that there is no other industry of a r type in the town, and also that the firms will be. liable to full assessment for school taxes and for any local improvements. The agree- ments will become effective, if ap- proved by the voters, on January 1, 1047, and will run until December 31, 1986, ' . Similar bylaws have been passed for the Argo Petroleum Company and for Stokely-Van Camp Limited, one of which was voted on in last January's election, The reason that the vote is being held in September rather than with the annual elec- tions is that the firms have asked for some assurance about the agree- ments and Council felt that the best assurance was to hold the vote as soon as possible, The bylaw calling for the vote also regulates that the Mayor or a member of the Council will be at the Council Chambers on the Sat- urday previous to the ballot! to appoint scrutineers for the ces, if any hre desired.

H, Ellis, of Oshawa, --Photo by Hutchison Studio Editorial Comment How's Your Conscience A letter received recently by the Town Clerk poses the question, "There are so many large houses in Whitby that I cannot understand why the housing situation should be so difficult there." It goes on to say that when veterans have given of their time and privacy while serving in Canada's forces, it is diffi- cult to understand why owners of large houses cannot forego a little of their privacy and, for remuneration, supply quarters to those needing them. The housing shortage, as we see it, is just as much of a national emergency as are strikes and as was the war, and demands emergency measures to deal with it. The federal minister of reconstruction, Hon. C. D. Howe, has said repeat- edly and very recently that the housing situation in Canada will become worse before it gets better. It promises to be- come worse in Whitby. * Within the next six weeks another 1500 students will be starting their university training at Ajax, the largest per- centage of them veterans of this war, and many of them married, They will need rooms or apartments in which to live, and they can't all get them at Ajax, so some will come here. It is true that there are many large homes in Whitby, and it seems to us that owners should make every effort to help in the present crisis by sharing their homes with these students. The small inconveniences and possible annoyances that might result would be amply offset for them by their realization that they are helping out deserving young men and women who will be extremely grateful to them, and who, after the past six years, merit something better than one crowded room, when they can get it, in which to eat, study and sleep. _ Nor are the Ajax students the only deserving ones. There are many others here who are searching vainly for living space. TOWN OF WHITBY TAXES The third instalment of 1946 taxes will be due on Thursday, August 8th, 1946.

By NEIL MacCARL Whiby Juveniles and Oshawa "All Stars" Juveniles battled to a 5-5 tie in seven innings in the Town Park last night, and the local lads main- tained their unbeaten status against Oshawa clubs in exhibition tilts, The local team will now move into the O.B.A. playdowns against Lind- say with the first game on or after Aug. 17. The Whitby team had to score a pair of runs in the last half of the seventh to gain a draw, after the Oshawa boys had led all the way. The Oshawa boys threatened right from the very start, as they got two hits and a walk in the first frame. However they were held scoreless until the second when they splurged for four runs. Three walks, a double by Powers and an infield out did the damage, as Mc- Closkey found trouble finding the plate, Whitby rallied weakly in their half of the same inning for a single run, Turanski singled, Fletcher walked and McCloskey drove in a run with his single. Whitby drew closer in the fourth with a pair of runs, singles by Gaine and Turan- ski, his third of the game, and a pass to Fletcher, Oshawa again made the score sheet in the fifth widening their margin to 5-3 with a lone tally, on an error and MacTavish's single, Last Inning Rally In the last half of the seventh the Whitby team came through with the pair of runs needed for a tie. McCloskey started things off with a single, and Anderson and Mowat followed with similar blows that produced two runs. The Whitby boys outhit their Oshawa rivals by 8-5 but Oshawa were able to bunch their hits to the best advantage. However, Whit- by came through in the clutch and maintained their undefeated record, Turanski's three singles paced the Whitby team, followed by McClos- key with a pair. McArthur was the only repeat hitter for Oshawa get- ting a single and a double, OSHAWA :--Millen, 3b; Powers, 1b; Such, ss; Cole, rf; McArthur, c; Canning, 2b; Gilbert, 3b; McTavish, yy Kennedy, 1f; Locke, cf; oJhnson, WHITBY :--Anderson, 3b; Mowat, If; Gaine, 1b; Yulll, ss; Turanski, 3b; Fletcher, rf; McCloskey, p; Hannan, s; Lovell, cf; Lowe, If, Ajax Fri-Teens Have Active Club, Hold Dance Tues.

PHONE 696 -- OSHAWA 17-tt Playoff Chances Fade ' As Juniors Lose 4-3 Juniors Lose Tough One To Bowmanville on Unearn- ed Runs--Cobourg Must Lose Three Games to Let Rotary In By NEIL MacCARL Whitby Rotary lost a tough 4-3 decision down in Bowmanville last night, and in so doing saw their playoff hopes reduced to only a mathematical chance, It was Eve- rett Qautrill against Hoar, as op- posing moundsmen, and both pitch= ers were plenty stingy with their hits, as Whitby got only four, and Bowmanville just one more. Howe- ver, what the hitting lacked in quantity was made up for in power as the Whitby team made all their hits good for extra bases, three doubles and a triple, and Bowman- ville matched the Whitby produc- tion of two baggers. Both hurlers were in good form as they divided 14 strikeouts evenly, | Quantrill gave up three passes to two by Hoar, and both allowed two earned runs, However a muffed grounder in the fourth inning by Harlow at third base for Whitby let two runs score and that meant the difference. Whitby opened the scoring in their first time at bat with an un- earned run. After Gates was safe on Gilhoo- ley's misplay and had been thrown out trying to steal second, Reed drew a base on halls, and he scored all the way from first as Cox drop- ped MacDonald's long hoist to the outfield. Tied It Up A pass to Hooper, the first men to face Quantrill, a stolen base and Hoar"s line drive down the third base line that hopped the fence for a ground" rule double evened the count at 1-1 in the bottom half of the first. Yulll made the fielding gem of the game in the same in= ning, when he picked McIlveen's line drive right of the top of the dirt, and just missed doubling Hooper off second. 2 In the fourth frame successive doubles by Lowe and Harden after two were out again gave Whitby a short lived lead. Hoar opened the home half of the fourth with his second hit of the game and the sece ond hit of the game from "'Quan= trill up to this point, Dadson fanned but Clemence beat out a scratch infield hit and Harlow efred on Strike's roller permitting both rune ners to score. Whitby cashed a single run in the fifth when MacDonald slapped a long triple to deep centre field driving in Reed who had walked. In the sixth Bowmanville pushed across the game winning run as. Sirike came through with a timely two bagger to score Dadson, but Clemence who also had doubled was thrown out at the plate on a beaus titul peg from Gates in centre field, Hoar had walked to open the in- ning but he was erased at second on Dadson's fielder's choice ball, That Mathematica] Chance The loss for the Whitby . boys means they are out of the playoffs unless Cobourg loses their. remaine ing two games, in which case last week's 2-2 must be replayed to dee cide the final third place team. There were several very close plays at second base in the game when. runners were called safe and then eventually figured in the score ing.
