The other four would be Oshawa, Whitby, Whitby Township and East Whitby Township. Mayor Newman indicated that if Darlington Township and gest TS REGIONAL Bowmanville were included they would form a fourth bor- ough. The other three boroughs would be made up from Osh- awa and East Whitby; Whitby and Whitby Township ; and Ajax, Pickering and Pickering Township, he suggested. PARTNERSHIP Although avoiding discussion of the growing contention bet- ween Oshawa and the two mun- icipalities over Whitby and Whit- by Township plans to amalga- mate, Mayor Newman said that it is time Oshawa began con- sidering a municipal partner- ship with East Whitby. "A municipality should not reject the responsibility it has to the people in the municipality surrounding it,' he said. Oshawa must start consider- ing annexing parts of East Whit- by Township because it is the miost logical place to grow, he added. He said the western muni- cipalities should not become part of Metropolitan Toronto because Metro must not grow forever or it wil become ano- ther New York with its myriad problems. SATELLITE CITY Pickering Township council has considered a suggestion that it be developed as a satellite city of Toronto. Reeve C. W. Laycox is preparing a report.

Mr. Jones will carry out the first phase of the study as out-| lined in his presentation to the planning board. This will be an appraisal, setting out estimated costs and time for the whole study and to assist preparation of an application to Central Mortgage and Housing Corpor- ation and the province. This phase will take one or two weeks, Mr. Jones said. After the application is stud- ied by the senior governments, the second phase or study prop- er would get underway, about two to three months after phase one.
