"county assessment the equivalent PAGE FOUR THE DAILY T!MES-CAZETTE FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1951 J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 is WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS ROBT CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Road Cost Problems Whitby Day By Day Accounts of social events, any news items of local interest and Same In Hespeler, Galt (This is the third in a series of articles dealing with country-town relationships relative to the question of separation by the Town of Whitby from the County of On- tario.) In the last article auditor's figures were quoted applying to the Town of Elmira showing that that muni- cipality would have effected sav- ings to its ratepayers, amounting to three to four mills in the years 1948 to" 50. had been allowed to operate as a separate municipality.' Further light on the same sub- ject is given in a letter sent last year by the Council of the Town of Hespeler to its citizens who voted upon the question "Are you in faver of the Town of Hespeler with- drawing from the County of Water- loo." " It reads: "Your council has two major grounds for considering such drastic action. . "1) Existing separated commun- ities (in the country) which are the cities of Galt, Kitchener and Waterloo, contribute to the county expenses and particularly to the county "suburban roads on a popu- lation basis, whereas the munici- palities in the county contribute on an equalized assessment basis, for example: In 1950 the city of Galt paid $9,850 on suburban roads while the Town of Hespeler paid $10,304 on county roads. In other words, Galt paid 54c per person while Hes- pler aid $2.79 a person. It is esti- mated by our auditors that as a separated town we would have paid about $1,800 to suburban roads. (2) The three towns carry a 25% share of all county expenses but having a minority vote, have a very limited say in the extent of these costs. Any project which ben- efits the rural municipalities can be carried, forcing the three towns to subsidize it to the extent of 25%. There has been a serious and rapid expansion of county expenses. In 1042, Hespeler's net share of county costs was $5800. In 1850, it was $20,608, half of which was towards the county road system. "The Town would still have to wa share in many county costs on a population basis for such items as administration of justice, Home for the Aged and some minor items. The Town would have to take over full responsibility for some items, formerly carried in whole or in part by the county, such as indigent hospitalization, Children's Aid costs, -etc. We will loose around $3000 in provincial road subsidy. In spite of this, off the basis of names of visitors are appreciated.

It is obvious that a plebiscite cannot be taken at the { forthcoming municipal election. The Council, therefore, has more time to look into the proposal from every angle and to | submit its findings to the electors. Separation- from the | county is too important'a matter to be treated lightly. Some | years ago the question was raised when it appeared to the Jown Council that the town was being saddled with more| than its fair share of taxation, and when not only Whitby but other urban centres in the south end felt the same way. ! This, however, is an argument which has been echoed 'in| other County Council chambers, and it has not gone unheed- ed, for last year there were seven separated towns, Brock- ville, Trenton, Smiths Falls, Ihgersoll, Gananoque, St. Mary's | and Prescott, while there are other municipalities, one of| them Hespeler, who would like to separate and are giving | the question much study today. | The Council should assemble all the arguments for and | against separation and weigh them very carefully before] reaching a decision. It may be found advantageous to Whit- | by from a financial standpoint to withdraw from the county, but there are other considerations, and one is that such a move might be prevented if around the table representatives of the town and the county could gather and air their griev- ances on such matfers as road grants, ex assessment, general | taxation and others, with a view to coming to a decision that | would be satisfactory to all concerned. Separation might, as! { we have said, be necessary, but we should be absolutely sure. | New Officers Of Rebekahs | | Whitby Mixed League (2) Mileage actually travelled re- [ake and experience of anyone, re- | turning ballot boxes to returning |gardless of what they have built be- officer, to be certified by the re- |fore, if, indeed, they have built any. turning officer, per mile each by building a model recommended Those without experience will start to Bowling BBC's, Rockets and Hopefuls each ok seven points from their -ap-| 4.

Concluding the letter and looking to the future, the Hespeler council «says further: "The cilles of Galt and Kitchener propose annexa- tions which may remove from the 'of the towns of Hespeler and Flmi- 'ra. If Preston and Elmira also sep- "arate, our share of county costs will be substantially increased."

I was so surprised I didn't know what happened," Oshawa bus driver Mur- ray Patterson was explaining in County Appeal Court yesterday how he, an innocent bystander witness- ing a police arrest, came to be charged with obstructing a police officer. Subsequently Patterson was con- victed by Magistrate R. P. Locke and sentenced to 10 days in jail. But yesterday Judge F. J. MacRae, after hearing evidence said: "The appeal will be allowed because there is a reasonable doubt. You have come very close to being convicted but my advice is that at four o'clock in the morning, it is not wise to get so close to trouble. The law has to be enforced. You were doing nothing in this situation to help the officer. If the evidence had been just a bit different, there would be a convic- tion." P.C.

While | the constable was having difficulty with the two male' passengers, Wetherup sought to get rid of the evidence and flung the beer from the car. A stranger to them, Patter- son, caught it. The officer then saw Patterson' with the beer and togk it away from him. The original pre- sumption was that Patterson was taking the beer from the scene of the disturbance. The fracas waxed s0 strenuous that the officer had to pull a gun to get the situation under control. Subsequently, McIn- ally was fined for illegal possession of liquor while Wetherup paid a fine for intoxication. However, His Honor found that there was some doubt that Patter- son had sought interference with the police in the affair, and accor= dingly discharged him. A. C.
