Equipped with folding wings and adjustable landing gear, the L-13 can be towed by military vehicles or hauled in a truck. Without having its propeller removed, it can be towed, glider fashion, by another plane up to speeds of 150 m.p.h., and then be released in flight to proceed under its own power. an attendant. It can be converted into an ambulance with space for fwo litter patients, a pilot and Although designed for normal operation with three crewmen, its large cabin can accommodate six in emergencies. The L-13's folding wings, permitting the plane to-be towed or hauled over rough terrain, are shown in photograph at RIRGHT. The landing gear is adjustable, with a tread of 92.58 inches for a take-off and landing and 61.6 inches for ground hauling and towing. Boxing Day Civic Holiday For Township A resolution procla proclaiming Boxing day, Thursday, December 26, a civic holiday, was passed at yesterday's meeting. of the Whitby Township Council at Brooklin, as the Council sat for a short while following the final session of the Court of Revi- sion. The use of the Township Hall as a gym for the Continuation School students one day a week was ap- proved by the Council. A bylaw naming Monday, Decem. ber 30, as Nomination Day 'was re- ceived two readings and was left over until the next meeting so that further names of returning officers and polling places could be added. T.B, Survey Dr. J. H. McKinney, the town- ship's Medical Health Officer, told the Council that the T.B, survey would not be coming to the town- ship but would be at Port Perry, Brougham and Whitby in December, so that township residents would be able to get X-rayed at those three places, He emphasized the impor- tance of this survey for the health of residents and was promised the full co-operation of the Council in setting as many X-rayed as possi- ble.

Mr. Levine presented an old survey of the property, which is just west of the town limits and com- prises lots 32 and 33 of the Broken Front concession, showing that the Property was only 282 acres in ex- The Court of Revision, consisting of the Township Council, Reevé W. G. Manning, and Councillors W. A. Heron, W. H. Down and G. R. Bon- netta, accepted this survey, which divided the land into roughly 176.6 acres of good land and 104.3 acres of marsh, Mr. Levine also sald that he was willing to abide by this di- vision of the land. Reduced To 278. 05 Acres After the assessor, E. R. Heron, had finished his figuring, the court arrived at the decision that the total acreage of the Eastbourne Es- tate was 278.05 acres and that this was the property on which they would be assessed. This was divided into 260.55 acres of farm and marshland and 17.5 acres of subdi- vided land. So the final motion of the court was that the firm's assess- ment on their farmland be reduced from 270 acres to 260.55 acres. With the revision in the ratio of good to marshland it was not ex- pected that this change would affect the assessment. Basketball Fans Show Interest In New Team Allowing no grass to grow under their feet Whitby basketball en- thusiasts availed themselves of the High School gym last night to practice for what looks like a much better "than average intermediate basketball team. Under coach Ross Munro some 15 or 20 youths, past the high school age, put in a very strenuous period of practice. No plans have been made yet for mtering the team that results from these practices in a league, and whether enough players appear to make a town league feasible is not yet apparent. But is is a definite fact that there will be at least one team represent- ing Whitby in intermediate basket- ball this winter. If there is only one team this will be entered in an in- termediate league with neighboring municipalities, such as Oshawa and Bowmanville. The coach says that any other young men in the town who are in- terested in playing are wélcome to the practices which take place each Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. at the High School. Use the south en- trance. RADIO SERVICE GUARANTEED - IMMEDIATE ..& APPLIANCE 130 Brock St. N.,, Whitby mm 102 DUNDAS ST.

Tenders with the architect's representative over suggested changes in the plans for the new structure, and the com... mission asked the works foreman to sit in on the meeting as they were the people would be most affected by this new building. Several Minor Changes This joint conference produced several minor changes in the plans, cne calling for an extension of the basement under the garage to pro- vide additional space for a work- shop, and another for an entrance directly from the street to the base- ment. The original plans called for a boiler room three feet below the genera] cellar depth, putting its floor almost a foot below the sew- er level for the lot, The architeét will modify the plan so that this problem will be overcome. After some discussion it was de- cided to call tenders as soon as the plans are completed, as the com- mission would like to see their building erected as soon as possible, Ever since the Public Utility Com-~ mission was first organized, just af- ter the turn of the century, the staff have shared offices and stor- age space with the town, and for many years this space has been in- sufficient. The new plans wil] al- low almost five times as much floor space for storage, garages and work. rooms as is at present available. Cost Plus ixed Fee - Tenders will be called on a cost plus a fixed fee basis, the method recommended. by the architect. Un- der this method contractors esti- mate the cost of the building and stipulate the fee they are to re- ceive for the completed job. The cost may rise or fall above the es- timate, depending on a rise or drop in the costs of materials and labor, but the fee paid the contractor for the job will remain the same re- gardless of the cost. In this way bids closer to the actual cost are re. ceived. 'The commission have most of the necessary money in the bank or in- vested in bonds, to the amount of some $60,000, but the approval of the Hydro-Electric Power Commis sion will be needed before the con- tract for the job can be let. The HEPC. will have to approve of the plans as submitted and will also have to approve of the amount of money to be spent on the project.
