REMAIN TOWN Trustee Norman Edmondson of the Whitby public school board asked if amalgamation would give the two municipali- ties city status. "No," said Mr. Newman. 'It would be more advantageous to remain a town." Mr. Newman said amalgama- tion will only come about after public hearings and an ultimate decision by the Ontario Muni- cipal Board.

TOO FAST Whitby Deputy Reeve George Brooks said it is the feeling of a - lot of people "that perhaps we are. rushing into this a little too fast. "I think amalgamation will work, but it might not be the best thing for everyone concern- ed and therefore, we should take a good close look at it before reaching any decision." Reeve Dryden told Mr. New- man: "You're a fast driver, Mr. Mayor. I'm in agreement with Deputy Reeve Brooks that we have to take a long hard look regardless of time.

He said that if amalgamation does not take place in 1966 it would mean an automatic de- ferral until 1968 because of 1967 being the year of centennial celebrations of confederation. GREAT SURPRISE An indication that everyone is not in complete agreement with the mayor came. when Councillor Thomas Edwards of Whitby said: "where we are at the moment is as great a sur- prise to members of council as it is to the ratepayers." He said the ward system, which was discussed at last "We can't always afford the tration, either for education or a civic board. "We don't have any desire to bring all of the boards down south," he said. 'We have to maintain a certain amount of administration in the town- ship." - He said the committee's big- gest challenge will be equaliz- ing the assessment. Mr. Dryden reminded that 10 per cent of the township assess- ment is derived from just 88 a of industrial develop- ment, NEED LAND "You can't interest industry with a 90-acre site.
