L. TREES, DIRECTED BY PRODUCED BY Sec.-Treas. October 19, 1948. ' County At Loss On How To Terminate Home Whitby Classified Contract With Oshawa Yesterday county council began! again what will likely prove to be a long wrangle over termination of Oshawa's agreement which up to this time has enabled that city's | (aged population to be housed and |cared for in Whitty. The home is | some respects. | Three times this year the county {council has voted to terminate the {agreement: which legally expires at | the end of this year but so far no | arrangements have been' made to (remove Oshawa's charges. A letter from R. D. Humphreys, |K.C., speaking for the city council special committee on the home gave three proposals. As council inter- preted them, one is that city and county continue to share cost of the home on a population basis. Second is that the city might agree to sharing cost of erection of a new home on the basis of its aver- age number of inmates over a five- year period. Third suggestion is {that cost be pro rata on an assess- 4) | ment basis. Chairman of the county's com- mittee on the home, Garnet Wilson of Cannington spoke up: "It looks to. me as if Oshawa has got away from our idea of trying to reach [a settlement" to - cancel the con tract. Thomas Harrison: "My recollec- tion is that some of our own com- {mittee asked that Oshawa make these alternative suggestions. We {would be much better off if Osha- wa were not connected with the home." Then Mr. Harrison outlin- ed his vision of a program which | the county might carry out to mod- llernise and add to the present home | until at the end of 20 years it would | be brought up to the highest stan- dard. Duncan McIntyre: "Our meeting 'with Oshawa was to arrange ter- mination of the agreement but the meeting broke up in a stalemate. 'No request for such proposals were made by the special committee. We should find out what our rights are 'and then we may know better what action we can take." Vincent Beaton took exception to luse of the expression "kick Oshawa out." Mr, McIntyre amended these words he had used to "require them to withdraw." Dr. Neil McEwen of Pickering: "One of these days the Depart. ments of municipal affairs, welfare and municipal affairs will all come down here and tell us to get busy | and build a new home." T. D. Thomas of East Whitby: "Yes, that building is condemned. I sion." Thomas Harding of Reach: "That building is not condemned. It was erected in 1903." Mr. Thomas: "All the reports. by grand juries and by government departments have been unfavor- able." . ; Mr. Harding: "I ask now that the clerk get in touch with our solici- tor and that he meet with our com- mittee so that we can get his views before going any further." This was agreed. Block Installatio Of Parking Meters London, Ont, Nov. 3--(CP) -- Trial installation of parking meters in his city was 'blocked for at least another two weeks in City Council | Tuesday night.

Interesting Hist 'y Leaving the quarters in the Whit- by Dairy building recalls the inter- esting fact that this building. has | deal longer. In 1906 the late C. A. | Goodfellow purchased the printing | business (at the site of the present Whitby Dairy) from S. M. Newton. { The present management is not certain how many years previous to this a newspaper office was at this location. Any older citizens having | information on this point would {do The Times-Gazette a favor by Whassing it on to the staff. It is be- | lieved that a newspaper was printed | here at least before 1890, if not much earlier. Originally, the building was much smaller than at present. In 1912, Mr. Goodfellow, Sr., built an addi- tion on the back and on subsequent occasions, other additions were made by him and his son in part- nership. Since that time, many changes have taken place in the newspaper and commercial printing business. In both, the general tendency has been to amalgamate into larger units for the sake of efficiency and the production of better material. The days when three and more newspaper services to the Whitby | surrounding | sions, employees of the county spoke before the council. "I do not think that is good business for any em- ployee to speak on a by-law or mo- tion." The Warden's ruling on the mat- ter was that the employee must have permission of council to speak. This rule has been observed on pre= vious occasions.
