4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, May 17, 1962 SCOUT HONORS FOR BILLY MITCHELL "AT KIWANIS CLUB Commissioner Urges Annexation Talks Whitby's Industrial Commis- sioner Larry Cond this week made a plea for renewed nego- tiations with Whitby Township the annexation of 400 acres of land in the township, east of Whitby, which would be able for heavy industry. Mr. Cond was speaking at the din ner meeting of the Kiwanis Club at the Hotel Royal. Mr. Cond pointed out -that at present, the town's heavy indus- is located in the area of the harbor. But, he said, if the ownership of this land is ana- lyzed, one learns the upsetting fact that there are very few acres left in that area This has got to be recog- nized," he said, 'and if we do nothi about it, we will be a tune with one good string missing from the violin.' FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY This string could be replaced he said, if the town and the township could recognize the value of 300 to 400 acres of and in the township, immedi- ately east of the Du Pont plant This land, he said, is well suit- ed for heavy or nuisance type industry. Sarnia, he noted, has _ its "chemical valiey", an area where industry has a nuisance factor, but it is located well away from the residential areas of the city. "There is a need for the town and township to recognize the need for developing this land,"' he said, "not for what we will get or lose if it is an- nexed. If both parties take the view that one needs the other in equal proportions, then no one is gaining anything on the other." Mr. Cond said that there is only a remote likelihood that the township can develop this area in the next decade on its own. But, at the moment, Whitby has a sewage treatment plant with ample facilities and a new filtration plant and water Estimate for try suit-} intake able to handle than the town's present needs "We have to get together," he urged 'We have already lost one extremely good pros pect because of this situation although land price may have had some part in the decision of the company to move else- where where 150 acres were purchased at $500 per acre." PLANNED SERVICE But, he said, had the land prices been the same at Whit by, he doubted the company would have located here be- cause there is no planned road access to 'the land mentioned and no arrangements made with the township for services "We have got to persuade the township to come with us," he said. "Their future as much as ours is at stake. We are not seeking this for the town alone There must be some basis for these two municipalities to talk this over." Stressing again the need for land which would accept heavy industry, Mr. Cond said that re cently such a company, which had looked over Whitby, had announced it was locating at Sarnia where they would build a $4 million plant. NEGOTIATIONS Mr. Cond related the expen- sive negotiations necessary when Oakville and Trafalgar Township made their agree- jment when the Ford Motor Company decided to build in \the township. How much sim- |pler, he asked, would it be to sit down now and negotiate an annexation? "T think we could explain this to the township," he said, "and point out to them that they are gaining something too. We need more job oppor- tunities and township residents jean benefit too." Mr. Cond had been. intro- duced by Kiwanian Robert Cawker, the PUC representa- 62,000 Eligible Voters After a week of hard work the enumerators . for Riding have completed the pre- liminary list of those qualified to vote in the June 18 election. Harry Jermyn, returning officer for the riding, released the fig- ures for urban areas Tuesday The riding has 168 polling divisions which have an elector- ate of 44,787. Mr. Jermyn says that. the 85 rural polling divi- sions will have an average of 200 voters each. The number of thus expected to be almost 62,000 In the March 1958 federal election a 79 per cent poll was recorded or 46,286 voters. Fig- ures are not available for the proportion of rural to urban voters at that time but since 1958 urban population has in- creased materially while rural population has remained static Results of the enumeration yoters is have now been posted in public'which are quickly ironed out Ontario for the voters' benefit son who has been left off the list can apply to. either Mr. Jermyn's office in Whitby or to the committee rooms of the political parties. This also applies to persons not eligible to vote whose names have in- advertently been placed on the preliminary lists. Any complaints or enquiries are forwarded to the two re- vising officers who conduct an investigation. The revising offi- cérs are members: of the two main political parties. Their findings are referred to the, re- turning officer for inclusion in the final voting lists which are used on election day. Mr. Jermyn expressed his sat- \isfaction with the way in which the enumeration was conducted. He said that there is no 100 per cent effective way of drawing up a voters list and there are lalways a few discrepancis Any per- Whitby Starts 7 and 10 p.m. Starring . .
