Commenting on the effort, town engineer Bill McBride sald' Keep Culverts Clear, Urges Town WHITBY (Staff) -- Calling on the town's citizens for assist- ance during the next few days at least, Whitby's engineer Bill McBride is asking the public} to keep the culverts in front of their homes clear of snow. "There will surely be a great deal of flooding if we suddenly receive a fast thaw or more rain," Mr. McBride stated, "We would appreciate having these culverts kept cleac since it is almost too big a job for our department." The engineer stated there are over 2,000 culverts within town limits and each ore presents a definite threat. Snow piling up at the ends of the culvert pre- the crews have done a 'terrific' job. "The men deserve a 'of applause for the way they' have worked. We had the entire; crew of 20 men out both Wed- nesday and Thursday evening. worked through to Friday noon hour," he said, "then re- tired for a well deserved rest." The engineer sa'd the snow plough crews worked around the Engineer vents the natural run-off of melting ice and snow.

Assistance from the private citizens is of the utmost importance." There is a tremendous amount! of snow lying all over the town at the present time," Mr. Me- Bride said. "If we have a sud- den thaw we are in for serious trouble." clock to keep the streets open, taking only four hours off for' sleep during each day. "Three passes were made along every| street Thursday evening," he said, "This was necessary in view of the onslaught of first snow, then sleet, then more snow accompanied by freezing weather." During 'the 'battle' the works' department employed outside equipment in an attempt to sup- plement the town machines which were virtually swamped by the storm. One snowblower and a backhoe were hired from George Harding Contracting Co. while a frontend loader was was also obtained from Frank §. Barclay Constr:ction, Brook- lin. A- fleet works department trucks assisted by a number of privately owned vehicles also assisted in 'Operation Clean- Up'. "In many cases the general public were caught unawares by WHITBY (Staff) -- 'We mean business and do not intend to back away from our convic- tions,' Raymond Mclntosh, president of the Park Vista Ratepayer's Association told the *Times' yesterday afternoon. Mr. McIntosh was referring to a meeting the Association had with. the Whitby Town Council recently over the question of storm sewers in the subdivision. The residents of the subdivi- sion are currently facing an at- tempt by council to place all storm sewer installation under the general tax levy in regard to payment. A bylaw to this effect was drafted but has been temporarily 'shelved while dis- cussions with the ratepayer's group is continuing. Under the terms of the bylaw all property in the town would share equally in the cost re- gardless of where the sewers are installed. "We are presently paying for Ratepayer's Group Intends To Fight Sewer Decision tax levy," the president . said. "Asking us to pay for it under; general tax levy is too much." Further steps to head off the bylaw in regard to Park Vista and the neighboring subdivision known as Blair Park, will be taken if necessary, he added. A Whitby town official stated the storm sewers, gutters, curbs' and a road paving plan were' requested by the Park Vista Ratepayers two years past. Im- provement to the boulevards, curbs, gutters and road paving is charged under the general tax levy. é Storm sewer installation has been charged under the local levy on a per frontage basis, which has been authorized by a local improvement bylaw. Under the terms of the bylaw the town absorbs 26 per cent of the cost through the general rate while the homeowners take care of 74 per cent. the storm," the engineer said, "and were unable to move their cars off the streets. On the whole however, the public did co-operate with us as best they could," he said. One request by the engineer was directed at the public. "The department would be greatly assisted if they couid keep their vehicles off the streets during the next few days al least, mak- ing it possible for us to com- plete the job of cleaning up."
