MO. 8-3703 ANNUAL REPORT Commission Calls For Industrial Park Site Whitby Industrial Commis- sion, in its recently released an- nual report to Town Council has called for the purchase, by coun- cil, of suitable land for future use as an industrial park. The Commission has pointed out, in its opinion, the proposed land purchase would do more to ensure the acquisition of new in- dustry over the long term, than eny other single action on the part of Council. Members of the five - man Commission pointed out they| January 1, 1963, professional recognize the financing of such @ project may be difficult but have pointed out action could be taken to submit it to the elec- torate at the next icipal cipal growth to encourage the highest potential assessment for any given property, consistent with the official plan. As a general rule, old, worn- out buildings, return a low. in- come and a high upkeep to their owners. They are a poor advertisement for the business enterprise of the owner or ten- ant, they are often a fire hazard to their neighbors and their tax revenue to the community is far below what it should be. and commercial assessment to- talled $3,501,590. This is 16.765 per cent of the whole. Obviously a relatively large portion of this t is located in the | \ election, or it may be reviewed before the Ontario Municipal Board. In addition to calling for the land purchase, the Commission has called for the servicing (access roads, sewer and water) of lands adjacent to Highway 401 to attract industry to itby. ' It was pointed out Whitby is at a "serious disadvantage" in that so little of Highway 401 frontage is fully serviced and actually ready for industry. There are particular areas where it would be most helpful if preliminary engineering plans could be prepared for access roads, water and sewer ser- vices, the Commission points out. An early start toward imple- menting at least some of this advance planning on the part of Town Council was urged in the report. In addition, the Commission called for a speed-up in work on the new zoning bylaw, particu- larly with respect with industrial lands bordering Highway 401. Prestige industries, the Com- mission points out, require zon- ing standards which will protect their investment. It called for the installation of sanitary sewer facilities on Hopkins street, south of the CPR main line. Commission members suggested this project be given an early priority with- in the town's five-year capital works program. THE DOWNTOWN PROBLEM In so far as commercial de- velopments are concerned, this report does not attempt to list every change. The Commission is, however, most gratified by the fact that measured in terms of demolition of old buildings in the downtown area, 1962 must pein have set some kind of reco Recognizing the scope of the| Cem about problem, the Commission is anxious to stimulate the re- development process for two reasons: Firstly, because there must always be a constant ef- fort to improve the appearance of the town. Secondly, b downtown section. Can these assessed values be maintained or will they shrink doe to lack of proper attention and the effect of new commer- cial developments elsewhere? Alternatively, can they be en- couraged to increase and ulti- mately to yield to the Town many times their present taxes? The Commission is strongly of the opinion that this is a prob- lem which must be faced squarely by the owners and by Council acting through such agencies as the Planning Board and this Commission. This is a matter of vital interest to the Whitby Chamber of Commerce which is in a position to assist the owners and their tenants as well as the Municipal organiza- tions. Continuing redevelopment and improvement of the downtown section may be expected if cer- tain conditions are met. These can be briefly summarized as follows: 1, Those owners wishing to sell their properties must adjust themselved to realistic values. New investment capital can not be attracted into an area if the basic cost of the site is so high that a satisfactory return on the total outlay is impossible. 2. Owners should be pre- paned to group together in order to offer larger parcels of land to prospective commercial de- velopers. 3. The municipality must be prepared to assist, After proper investigation, this might take several forms: Purchase of land for public pa king. Possible closing of section of streets and lanes. Zoning changes to permit high rise buildings. Under certaim circumstances, Council may wish to seek finan- cial and other assistance from the senior governments. This would be brought about by designating. a particular section for redevelopment purposes. owners, tenants and municipal bodies.

THOMAS (CP)--The Lake Erie Fish Producers' Associa- tion decided Monday mght to seek provincial government ap- proval of formation of a mar- keting board and amendment of the, Ontario Farm Products Marketing Act to include com- mercial and fresh water fish. The decision was made at a meeting attended by heads of the various fishermen commit- tees in the ports along Lake Erie's north shore who outlined their problems to Ronald K. McNeil and Harold Danforth, Progressive Conservative legis- Kent respectively, Mr, McNeil suggested a mar- keting board might be a step in the right direction, adding that it appears "'the reason for de- pressed prices is fish being of- fered from the south shore of Lake Erie." Mr, McNeil said he would see if a meeting can be arranged with the minister of agriculture as soon as possible. "The government is not in sympathy with us,"' said Harold Julian of Kingsville. 'We have placed our problems in Toronto before and we have been given the run around." Another meet- ing with the government would be a waste of time. "We will cease operation if the situation, in general. gets any worse,"' warned Association President Earl Siddall of Dunn- ville. 'The price of fish is too low for this time of the year when fish are in heavy de- mand." After discussing their prob- lems behind closed doors, the fishermen agreed to hold their perch quotas to 1,500 pounds daily.
