WHITBY DAY - BY - DAY Land Assembly Plan Approved By Council WHITBY (Staff) Whitby Town Council has run into trouble with its plans for low- rental housing units. Harry Pullen of the Ontario Housing Corporation Monday night explained it had been impossible to find a contractor who would build the town's 42 low rental housing units. The reason, he explained, was that the homes were to be spotted throughout the town. They were not planned as a complete project. He proposed council agreed to the matter, that the Ontario Housing Corporation buy a large slab of raw land in the town. This could be retained a per ere | an Nidt€au, ane investigate Provisional Agreements Presented With the amalgamation dead- line just four months away the joint negotiating committee of Whitby Town and Whitby Town- ship has announced a further list of provisional agreements. The latest list, put before Whitby Town Council last night, contained 13 points of agreement. Among them was an inaugu- ral meeting date for the new combined council. The meeting, if it is held, will take place Jan. 7 at the hour of 10 a.m. The negotiating committee also decided that election day for the new council should be held on Dec. 10. The committee decided that Speed Limit Bothers Council The speeder's paradise of Rossland Rd. E. in Whitby is still perplexing Whitby Town Council. The road as well as being a through thoroughfare between) Whitby and Oshawa also acts asa hocder between the Town of Whitby and the Township of Whitby. The two municipalities meet at the centre white line. Whitby Township enforces a 30 miles per hour limit on the northern section of the road which carries westbound traf- fic. For some time Whitby Town was keen to impose a 35 mile per hour limit for eastbound traffic. This led Whitby Town Coun- cillor Tom Edwards to suggest Report Park Toilets Filthy The filthy, _undescribable| uses to which Whitby's park toilets are put cannot be stopped without help from the! public, Whitby Town Council| agreed Monday night. j The matter was raised by Councillor Vernon MacCar! who said he had checked the lake- shore and centennial park washrooms and found them both to be in '"'appalling condi- tion."

When time came for the building of the low rental hous- ing lots would be sold off for private development, schools and churches. Space would be reserved for the low rental housing and the land could be designed as a complete project with its own facilities. Despite the bad news over the low rental housing there was some good news for the town's senior citizens. Mr. Pullen said that a site for senior citizens' homes had now been nearly negotiated. He expected that an an- nouncement on the _ project would be made soon. taxpayers should pay their taxes on April 15, June 15, Aug. 15 and Oct. 15 of each year. There was also a_recom- |mendation that the treasurers |of the two municipalities pre- |pare a draft budget for the new council prior to amalgam- ation. These and other points were noted by councillors and added to their ever expanding amal- gamation files. Council has yet to take the decision definitely to amal- gamate Whitby Township) }where councillors are still in-/ vestigating the matter) |thoroughly is in the same posi-| tion. | | that perhaps the two munici-| palities "should split the dif- ference" and set the limit for both lanes at 324% miles per | hour. The matter again popped up, Monday night, on Whitby Town's agenda. This time there was a demand from the town engineer that the limit on) Whitby's half be raised to 40 miles per hour. Council thought this over for ja while and then decided that) |perhaps it might be best if | Whitby Township were asked \for its opinions. | It would be best, agreed) council if the limit was the same for both east and west- bound travellers. | "T don't know who these} poeple are, but I sure would| like to see them caught,"' he} said. "The only way we can do it is for the public to co-operate. If they see these acts they should contact the police im-| mediately. This way perhaps) we could stop them. | "The lakeshore toilets were just disgusting. No words of mine would describe them." | Ready This Fall St. S., is going ahead well,| said Councillor Bobbie Atters-| ley.

Although council has been in receipt of the project's work- ing drawings for over six weeks the Community Centre Advisory Committee proposed a number of amendments. to the. draw- ings that will inevitably delay construction of the centre.
