PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1951 J. H- ORMISTON- Editor and Manager PHONE 703. WHITBY A ND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT. CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Twenty Percent Hike In Water Rates Necessary Whitby water rates will undergo. a:20 percent across- the-board increase at the next billing, members of the Public Utility Commission: decided last night. This is the: second such increase in a little over twe years. However, it will mean only about 80c more per month on the average domestic water bill. Increased costs of materials and labor made the adjust- ment necessary. Even Commissioner R. G. Langford, who has been opposing the prospective boost in rates, was: con- vinced of its necessity last night when presented with estim~ ates of revenues and expenditures. prepared by Secretary Harry Simpson. ive estimates for the first four months of this year show that revenue is up 17%. However, overhead had advanced also. Total estimated revenue for the year, if no increases had been given, would be $62,450. Total estimated expen- ditures were $68,100 leaving an an« ticipated deficit of $5,650. The ad- vance in rates will bring the reven- ue to approximately $70,000. Because the Ontario Hospital is under contract, no increase can. be passed. on to that institution, a large user of water. Industrial, dom- estic users alike will pay more, from now. on. Even the water retailers, who fill up, tanks at the weigh scales for sale in the adjoining townships, have their rates hiked to 45¢ per 500 hundred gallons. Water main extensions for this year will be debentured but it is believed those undertaken next year, may be financied out of revenue, resulting in a saving to the citizens. Crown Says Perjury Charge Pending In Pickering Case Iftimation that a perjury charge will be laid against Mrs, Alice Dube, Royal Elm Lodge, Pickering, was given during a court hearing in Whitby yesterday by Crown Atter- ney Alex Hall. Mr. Hall expressed dissatisfaction with evidence given by Mrs. Dube upon a chasge laid against her under the Liquor Con« trol Act. She and her husband Ben- jamin, are charged with having liquor on their premises after be~ ing prohibited from purchasing or having it. The Liquor Board order gave as reason, "because of non<eon- fidence in your liquor privileges." Mrs. Dube's defence centred around her claim that the beer was found in a part of her lodge rented by Jack Stewart and that he was the purchaser of the beer. She called upon her two daughters, ag- ed 11 and 13, to testify that the room in which the offfcers: found the beer was a living room, rather than the Dube Kitchen, as three of- ficers - testified. Though jointly charged, Mf. Dube contented him. self with pleading not guilty, while Mrs. Dube conducted the: defence. Magistrate ¥. S. Ebbs reserved judgment one week. Sergeant: Fred White said that on March 23 in the evening, he, Chief Trinnell and Constables Channings and Higgins, entered the lodge with a search warrant. They walked through the restaurant por tion to a kitchen immediately be- hind it. Here they found Mr. and Mrs. Dube, two other m¢n and one woman, seated at the table with beer bottles and glasses before them, Another man was asleep on a couch. He appeared to be in a stu- por. In this room was found a part case of beer and in another room, a full case. According to the defence all the beer was in the Stewart sec- tion of the house. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs recalled a previous court hearing involving Mrs. Dube's premises at which time a chart was presented show- ing that ghe liquor found was not in her part of the lodge. Three police officers testified as to the beer in. the room and said the part case was found about six feet from where Mrs. Dube was sitting. This she denied vigorously, claim- ing it was in another section of the house entirely. At this point Mr. Hall first warned her against per- Jury Witness Jack Stewart said the beer was purchased by him rather than the accused but that he had Soi Mee Dube he could have some Evidence of the two little girls was given clearly until Mr. Hall put Brooklin Man Fined $100, Had Liquor Proprietor of the Brooklin House, william J, Goodwin, entered a plea of guilty in court y to a charge of having liquor in an illegal place. He was fined $100 and costs or one month in jail. Two alterna~ tive charges were allowed to be withdrawn. Provincial Constable Gordon Keast testified that at 10:15 on the evening of March 23, with three other officers, he entered the hotel under a search warrant. In the kitchen were three women and gne man. One man had a pint: of beer in his hand: In a room off the kit- chen were 12 cases of beer. There was more beer in the ice box and five bottles of whiskey. In Mr. Goodwin's- bedroom upstairs: was another pint of beer. Constable Keast said that he had warned the accused several times in the past after complaints had been received. Crown Attorney Alex Hall said that it would be straining the credulity of the court to think that all this liquor was on hand for per- sonal use. He had the feeling that the accused man has abused his privileges as an innkeeper. The court also declared the hove a "public place" for one year ordered the Mquor to be confiscated, in a few questions, One said that a partition separating the kitchen from Stewart's part of the house was built after the police raid. At this, Mrs. Dube broke in that the child was all wrong. "There is going to he a perjury charge laid in this case," said Mr. "Why should there he?" retorted Mrs. Dube. "You will find out."

From the C.N.R., word was re- ceived that repairs will be made to the Henry Street and Brock Street bridges. A petition from residents on Athol Street, east side between On- tario and John Streets, asked for a new sidewalk. It is said this walk is in bad condition, Council decided to give the matter consideration, * A letter from Dr. A, E., Berry, Director of Sanitary Engineering, urged that Whitby do something to extend its trunk sewers, par- ticularly to the west and he men- tioned the need to serve Spruce Villa Hotel. Dr. Berry urged that the municipality may see fit to ex~- tend sewers through .the various parts of the town at the first op- portunity. Suggestion from Deputy-reeve Kenneth Lee that the P.U.C. be re- quested to provide estimates for sewer extension to the west, was quickly squelched by Reeve Duncan McIntyre who pointed out that a $30,000 extension is being made this year to the north of the C.P.R. tracks to serve 60 houses, and that while the town might desire ex- tensions, it is not within its finan cial capabilities. "This all hinges on the troubles at Spruce Villa," said Councillor Mar- n. Quick approval was given to the county's resolution, proposing that all county roads and bridges be re- turned to the local municipalities. (Whitby has no county roads but pays in over $16,000, on account of roads this year.)

Conant, K.C., launched an attack upon the customary worcling of careless driving charges. He was defending Fred J. Tate, 1710,Charles Street, thy, charged with «care- less driving as a result of a aolli- sion at the "four corners" of Whitby on the early morning of April: 22, when he was in collision with a ¢ar driven by Walter Church, 211 Brack Street South. After a full hearing, the charge was dismissed. Usual wording of the charge As that: "(Blank) did unlawfully drive motor vehicle licence No. (blank) on. a public highway without: due care and attention or without: reasonable were two separate ingredients charge, namely, driving ho care and attention and (2) without reasonable consideration for others using the highway. : The Crown's contention was that the form of the charge is quite proper; that the objection has been raised, and met, previously in cases on record. Magistrate Ebbs allowed the hears ing to proceed, subject to any future action counsel might take in a higher court. : First witness was Walter Church who said he was going east on Dune das Street and stopped for the traf- fic light to-change, After he put his car in motion, the accident occurred. consideration for other persons using the. highway, contrary to Section . . . . ." ete, "As information now stands my client should not be called upon to plead," submitted Mr. Conant.
