J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS 4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, July 9, 1953 Receive First Report On Monster Sewer Plan Whitby Town Council has re- ceived its first report from the Kilborn Engineering Company, the firm which has been retained to make a sewer survey. The firm is drawing up specifications and plans for a monster sewer main system which will service the grea- ter part of the town, at the compl involves the least number of cross- ings in the pavement surface. However, at the westerly section of Dundas Street, from Elizabeth to Raglan Streets the sewer will be located on the south side, 19 feet from the centre line of the street. The department of High- ways that Dundas Street tion of which, new sewers or sew- ers in new districts of the town will be installed on a local improve- ment basis, in which the owner of the property being serviced pays for cost of sewer extensions. The plan was put in motion at a suggestion of Mayor Harry Jermyn who asked that an end be made in the town's policy of pay- ing for all sewer extensions out of the general fund, the by-law mak- ing all residents share the cost whether they received benefits from sewer services or not. The plan was originally expected to cost the town $300,000 but Mayor Jermyn hinted this week that it may cost not more than $160,000. Here is the Kilborn Report: "In order to be assured that we would have all the relevant infor- mation of existing pipes laid un- der the road surfaces where the roposed new sewers would be Paid, we have consulted with Mr. Pringle, Town Engineer and Su- perintedent of the Public Utilities Commission of the Town of Whit- by; the Bell Telephone Company of Canada; and Mr. Duffy of the Ontario Shore Gas Company. This information has now been incor- porated in our design drawings. An inspection of Dundas Street with Mr. C. Hanson of the De- partment of Highways of Ontario, has resulted in a tentative ap- proval for the location of the sewer on the eastern section of this street, from Garden Street to the eaasterly town limits, to be on the north side, as this location will eventually be widened to 28 feet. This would mean that the deep ditch on the north side would be coverrd in as a storm sewer, and there is also a gas main and sidewalk on this side, there would be little space left for the sanitary sewer. On the south side there is a shallow ditch, water main, tele- phone pole line, and a row of trees. There remains sufficient room for the sanitary sewer, although it will be located in the line of the ditch It will be necessary to remove and replace the several culverts during the sewer construction. "We have not received approval as yet from the Canadian Pacific Railway for the proposed crossing under the trackage at the cattle pass bridge immediately north from the Dundas Street subway, although our application was for- warded on May 25th last. It will also be necessary to make application to the Canadian Na- tional Railways for permission to cross the four lines of track im- mediately south from the CNR station on a line with the extension of Colborne Street. "It is our thought at this time that it might be advantageous to take the initial steps for the ac- quisition of land and easements over private property which will be necessary in the event that the sewer extensions are proceed- ed with, This would require nego- tiations with the owners of the lands involved, and the engage- ment of a land surveyor to pre- pare documents for this purpose. This work would be done at the expense. of the corporation al- though it would be incumbent for us to prepare drawings showing the extent of the areas required. "In developing the sewer design we have found it possible to pro- vide services to the houses on Raglan and Gifford Streets, al- | though it will be necessary to low- er the sewer .nain on Dundas Street appreciably deeper than would otherwise be required, How- ever, we consider that the addi- tional eost is warranted. "The same consideration applies to the service to the house on Hop- kins Street, necessitating a deeper cut for the Dundas Street main, and an extra manhole. 'The sewer on Anderson Street would be constructed only as far as the Wicket dwelling, but we would point out that this sewer is | | being designed so it can be exten | | ed north to Allan Street, and along | | Allan easterly to Stewart Street. "You will recall that lift pump- | ing stations are required for both the eastern and western sewer areas. In both cases the initial amount of sewage to be pumped would be comparative- ly small, as few connections are required at the present time, but as the areas became built up | the volume would increase in pro- portion. It is our intention there- | fore, to design the pump houses | with space for additional pumps, | {but only two would be installed {at this time. | "Owing to the fact that the depth of the sewers will preclude the advantage of emergency over- {flows in the event of power failure, |we are designing the pumps for | both electric drive 0 | gasoline- |engine drive in order to eliminate {the possibility of the sewers. being | flooded when hydro power fails. | "We trust that these decisions will meet with the approval- of Council." Whitby Merchants Trim Brookdale Roses, 11-to-5 By JED MUNNS Whitby Merchants moved back into second place Wednesday night by breezing past the fading Roses by a 11 to 4 score.

MANTZ Leaside Inglis downed Whitby Stokers to the tune of 7-4 last night at Highview Park. It was the first game Whitby Stokers have lost away from home this year. D. Arends, pitching for Leaside, fanned nine batters while handing out four walks. He struck out the Stokers in order in the second. The Stokers got 11 hits off him. Doug Wilson, who started for the Stokers allowed only three hits, but walked seven men in the 7, one-third innings he pitched. WHITBY HEADS Whitby went into an early lead by scoring two runs in the first inning. Doc McEwen walked, stole second. He went to third on a dropped ball by Leslie, catching for Leaside. Leslie threw wildly to third and Doc came the rest of the way home. Jimmy Jordan walked, and advanced to second on Dick Sundin's sacrifice bunt. Jimmy scored when Knibb drove a single to centre. The Stokers added another run in the fourth on 6 straight bunts ... Knibb bunted safely toward single. Leslie was held on first. McEwen snapped the ball to Sun- din as Leslie tried to take second. The Stokers held the run down a little too long and Lucketh scored while Leslie was out. Dick Sundin played his usual good game at short for the Stok- ers. Jimmy Loreno was the best of the batsmen for the Stokers get- ting two hits for three trys. J. Lucketh played good ball defens- ively for Leaside and was one for two at bat with three walks: The lucky person who held ticket number 0526 at the Stoker's home game last Friday, did not cash in on their luck. The basket of gro- ceries can be picked up by present- ing the stub at the IGA Grocery Store. Tomorrow night at 8.30, East York will visit Whitby Stokers at the Town Park.

"Many believe the matter of church union is of utmost import- ance but when Christ prayed that all may be one he did not mean an organic union," Mr. Bentall said.

Ontario County Jail pending com- pletion of hearings in Magistrate's Court into two alleged breakins, one at Audley School and the other at the A. W. Mitchel Coal Yard, Pickering. Edward Pres- wick and Rowell Hall McClary were brought before Magistrate F. S. Ebbs in the Whitby Police Court this week jointly charged with both offences. Hall, a private in the Canadian Army, pleaded guilty to both counts. Preswick pleaded guilty only to the charge of entering the Audley School. Some evidence was taken and at the request of the Crown Attor- ney, Alex. Hall, QC, the case was set over for one more week. Brian Disney, a Pickering Town- ship resident, told the Court that on the early morning of June 22nd he had been proceeding along the Station Road when he noticed a car parked in the vicinity of the Mitchell Coal Yard. Thinking this peculiar, he stopped his own ve- hicle and, hearing noises from the direction of the garages, called out. He received no reply, he said, and then blew his car horn. Then, he continued, he saw two men run away from the garages. Two Stand Trial For Entering Garage. School Two men are in custody in the |car which was parked there and called police. GAVE ACCUSED A RIDE Thomas Watson, taxi operator, told the Court that about 6 a.m. he had received a call for a taxi and had picked up Preswick about one and one-quarter miles from the Mitchell yard. He recounted the driving he had done for him before letting him out. He noted that Preswick at that time wore no shoes. Constable Freeman, of the Pick- ering Police Department, testified that he had searched the abandon- ed car and had found therein a radio and an alarm clock which were introduced. These articles, he said, had been identified as com. ing from the Audley School. He also produced padlocks which he had found in the vicinity of the garages, which appeared to have been broken or sprung. Miss Spratt, teacher at: Audley School, told the Court that her school had been entered and the Clock and radio had been remov- ed. At the suggestion of Crown At- torney Hall, the case was adjourn- ed for one week pending the ar- He [rival of records from the RCMP reported that he immobilized the at Ottawa. By ANNE KERR BRUENI, Borneo Many of the 45,000 subjects of His Highness Omar Ali Saifuddin, sul- tan of Brunei and the last remain- ing absolute Malay monarch, learned with polite g¢ surprise re- cently that he intends to grant the state its first, written consti- tution and introduce considerahle reforms in its system of govern- ment. The sultan, the 26th of his line, announced at a meeting of the state council May 12: 1. His intention to grant the state its first written constitution. 2. The broadening of the people's representation on the present semi- hereditary state council. 3. The setting up of new district councils at four points in the state to advise the newly - constituted state central council. News of the proposed reforms, unsought by the majority of his subjects came as a surprise for several reasons. (Reuters)-- | $23 Oil Wealth Pays For Borne Reform There is a fiscal surplus of over ,000,000, due mainly to the Seria oilfield, which, with a daily yield of 1103,000 barrels, is the largest single producing unit in the Com- monwealth, Unemployment and poverty are virtually unknown, because of a labor shortage in the oilfields and government projects to build badly needed roads, schools and hos- pitals. There is little serious crime, Labor unrest is rare. The indigenous Malays tradi- tionally placid, see little need to take a share in government. The Chinese, the largest alien section of the population, are traders and shopkeepers in the oil- field area and usually keep aloof from local affairs. Brunei state has been under British protection since 1888, and relations between the British resi- dent and his staff and the sultan, his court and the state council have always been good.
