Outstanding Arena Water Comes Under PUC Discussion At a lively inaugural meeting, Whitby PUC re-elected Comm. Jake Bryant to the post of chair- man, this week. Comm. Ab. Ran- dal was elected deputy-chairman. In a brief inaugural address, Mr. Bryant first welcomed Oscar Moore to the Commission, con- gratulating him on his success at the polls. Comm. Bryant then stressed some points which, he said, the Commission will have to give their full attention in the coming year. 'The most important thing," he said, "is that we must pull together with all the other municipal bodies." He went on to say that the Commission must watch their water costs, in 1936, and that they should give imme- diate consideration to laying a 14- inch water main in the north end of town. Comm. Ross then officially wel- comed Mr. Moore to the Commis- sion. "It was quite an achieve- ment for any man to beat Harold Phin at the polls," he said. Comm Moore replied by thanking the Commissioners, and said that many thought he had entered on the election with "An axe to grind". He hastened to assure the meeting that this was not the case, and that he wanted to do the most he can, for the good of the town. Disposal of refuse from the can- ning factory was the first item discussed under correspondence. The commission has advised the factory that, during the pea and pumpkin seasons, refuse from their plant is of such a nature and quantity that the sewage disposal plant is unable to cope with it. Secretary Harry Simpson is to write to Stokely Van Camp to re- mind them of the sjtuation, and to request that they check their refuse screens before the begin- ning of next season. Comm. Moore moved that the Commission should also contact the Dorr Company, who installed the sewage disposal plant, to seek their advice on the matter. WATER INTAKE PLANS The Commission have received from Gore and filtration tentative plans, Storrie Co., for a new plant, and water intake, in the Hayden Shore Park area. The plans recommend that the intake should be a 35-inch pipe, rather than a 30-inch pipe as suggested by the PUC. This, they say, would cost very little extra, and would allow for future increase intake. The plans said that such an intake should be 2,500 feet: long, and could handle up to 18 million gal-| lons of water a day. Gore and Storrie have already surveyed land along the lakeshore, with a view to finding the best site for the new filter-beds. | Last matter to be dealt with in the correspondence was that of trees. The Consumer Service Su- perintendent of the Ontario Hydro Company has written to the Whit- by PUC, suggesting that they em- ploy tree experts to help with the trimming of trees, where they are likely to obstruct Hydro lines The letter was filed, and the com- mission agreed that the tree situ- ation was well in hand, with the town employees and PUC employ- ees working together, trimming trees where necessary, and felling dangerous trees. The twelve-cell battery at No. 1 Sub-station is coming to the end of its long, active life. Superin- tendent Herb Pringle told the commission that the batteries are 'gassing up", and that the cell plates have become warped. This condition, he told the meeting, is the result of constant charging and discharging. The commission agreed to pur- chase a new battery for the sta- tion, at a cost of around $300. Comm. Jermyn expressed some surprise at the cost, until Comm. Pringle explained that the battery is of a very different type to that used in automobiles. The battery, he said, is of the wet-cell type, with each cell enclosed in a sep- arate jar. There will be two conventions in Toronto next month, affecting PUC Commissioners, the Water- works convention, and the Hydro EVEN SATU PLAYING pow MGM pi STARS and r "JULES M ROC is he Town] with Joy TECHNICOLOR 1 : GENE KELLY FRANK SINATRA BETTY GARRETT ANN MILLER UNSHIN- ALSO -- CARTOON -- PETE SMITH -- NOVE WHITBY Phone 8-3618 ING SHOWS 7-9 P.M.

WILL MEET TOWNSHIP At a previous PUC meeting, a letter was received from Whith Township, requesting that Whitby the Township which lies between Whitby and Oshawa. Oshawa PUC had been approached previously, but were unable to supply the area, because of a ruling which stipulates that they may not sup- ply water outside the city. This week, the Whitby PUC, acting on their decision to supply the area if the Township bears the cost, agreed to arrange a meeting with the. Township Council, the meeting to include Mr. J. Argo, the PUC auditor, | ARENA WATER BILL | Voices were raised, a when the subject of the Arena water bill was brought before the meeting. Secretary H. Simpson told the Commission that the Arena has an outstanding water bill of over $800, for the period since March, 1955. When Comm. Jermyn remarked on the high bill, Comm. Simpson said that the monthly bill for the arena is usually in the region of $90. In October last year, he said, | the bill was $380, due to the fact that during that month, the ice is laid. Comm. Jermyn suggested that a flat rate be introduced for the arena water supply. Comm. Simp- son objected, saying that the arena Is a community project, and that it is operating at a profit. He said that in this respect, it is the same as the PUC, who have to bear their operating expenses, even if it means going "in the red' Comm.

McGee and family, 212 Center Street North, attended the golden wedding anni- versary of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McGee, Sr., of Stirling, over the week-end. The many friends of Mrs. L. Haley are sorry to learn that she is in Oshawa General Hospital. Many happy returns to Mrs.! Mrs. Jack McGill and daughter, an axe .to grind. This I refuse to far as we are concerned nothing believe about Harry Jermyn, and is too good for the children of see it as an unfortunate use of Whitby, the wrong words. A auick explanation of the facts should dispel any wrong thinking on the part of our local electorate, the taxpayers of Whitby. In January of 1955 the Public School Board presented their bud- get for the year to the town coun- cil. It was for the amount stated by the mayor, $119.075.85. It was accepted by council and so far as the Public School Board knew, no objection was given. When December finally arrived the School Board on making up their statement for the year find they had lived within their budget to the tune of a few hundred dollars. To explain the $28,000 spent in December, which mark you, is still part of the original budget. Any business tries to settle all outstanding accounts by the end of the year. So in December bills that should have been in earlier were collected together with the regular month's accounts and paid. Now the $17,000 is in reality $18,~ within the reasonable | limits, financially, of the town. We stand always, unashamed of our record as a Public School Board and proudly ask our citizens to cultivate the spirit of building) only the very best for our young folk. The truest foundation of a greater and more illustrious Whit- by. We welcome at all times con- structive criticism, knowing only too well our shortcomings. How- ever, to have left unchallenged the statement of our Mayor. God bless him, would have given to the taxpayers of Whitby a wrong impression and a false picture of | the men who labor long and con- scientiously on their behalf in the | matter of public education. | | Your kind indulgence, Mr. Edi- tor, is much appreciated and I thank you. | Yours on behalf of a bigger = and better Whitby, | GEORGE MUNNS, | | Five years' a member of the ' Public School Board of Whitby.

Mrs. W. Porter, last year. When expenses were mentioned, Comm. Jermyn said, 'There are more and more new houses being| supplied with water, in Whitby, every year, yet there is no more profit from the extra water sup- plied. It was mentioned earlier, that Whitby water is cheaper than in many other towns, that should be, because we are beside the lake. There is no question in my mind that there is something amiss." Comm. Bryant came right back| by saying, "How did the mill go up from 42 to 63? -- the same rea-| son -- increased costs." His Wor-! ship replied, "I think you are more inclined to look at some- one else's financial statement, than your own costs." During a brief lull, Comm.

Fire Chief Addresses Guides | Fire safety, and fire 'first aid] was the subject of a talk by Fire, Chief Bruce Corner, to Whitby Girl Guides, Wednesday. At their regular meeting in All Saints' Parish Hall, Chief Corner spoke to the Guides first on the subject of fire prevention. He ex- plained the many causes that can start a fire, and the precautions which should be taken every day. Mr. Corner went on to tell the Guides what to do in the event of a fire breaking opt, stressing that the first move ois always be i to call the Fire Dept.
