Earlier in the evening there was accusations by Thomas Ed- man Favo As Entire Merger wards that Whitby Township had acted "in bad faith' by approaching Oshawa city coun- cil for private discussions be- tween the two bodies. Mayor Newman disagreed, "The township has acted quite properly in protecting its interests," he told council. "If for any moment I thought there was evidence of bad faith by the township in our amalgama- tion discussions I would have no hesitation in reporting it to council." There was another rumor from Coun, Edwards. "I believe," he said, "that there is a member of Whitby Township Council who lives in that part of the township that Oshawa is interested in annex. ing."' . - "This", replied Mayor New- man, "4s perfectly untrue.

As the cars passed him he continued to face east, he said, "Then I heard a noise as if a car was in passing gear and turned round and saw the Buick."

Then I saw flames and the explosion."' Whyte's legal aid counsel An- thony.
