Mayor Elliott said that his view of the letter was that it had been sent to him personally and it was his intention to present it to the police commission for consideration, just as soon as this body is constituted. It is expected that the commission will be authorized any day now. A motion by Councillor Robert McNee and Deputy-Reeve Kenneth Lee was to refer the letter to the next regular meeting of council was lost.

Premier Leslie Frost will be invited to pre- side at the opening along with Wel- fare Minister WwW. A. Goodfellow. Agreeing that "Home for the Aged" is not a proper name for their new $850,000 structure, coun- cil is now pondering a more suit- able name. One suggestion is that the late Viscount Hamer Green- wood, a native of Whitby, be honor- ed by having the building called "Greenwood Lodge." This sugges- tion did not appear to find too much favor with council. Another suggestion proposed by Reeve D. B. McIntyre of Whitby is that the place be named "Col. Farewell Lodge," in memory of distinguished citizen who served the county for many. years as clerk. Deputy-reeve Neil McEwen of Pickering said: "Why not incorpor- nie the name of a person now liv- ng." Council is still open for sugges- tions. Want to buy, sell or trade?
