Real estate men in Oshawa and Bowmanville, but not Whitby, report brisk business with more signs than ever. Harold Segal, president of the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board, says sales in June were worth $150,000 more than during the same month last year. In June last year 489 homes were sold while this past June 535 were sold. However, uN iv DICATE B he said, sales would probably be lower in July. SELLING MORE "We are selling more and there is more to be sold although good listings are still scarce,' said the president. He added that the brisk busi- ness is not unusual at this time of year as most families move in the spring and early sum- mer. Some, he said, want to get settled in their new homes before winter while others move during the summer months so as not to interrupt their children's schooling. Mr. Segal said the number of new houses being -built and sold this year is lower than last year. He also said there has been no significant increase in the number of people. moving to apartments, : TRANSFERS UP A spokesman at the registry Office in Whitby said the num- ber of land transfers in June was equal to anything in the past. He said the high number of sales are continuing into July and show no sign of de- clining. One realtor in the Oshawa- Bowmanville area says busi- ness has never been better -- and is better than he expected, He said both Oshawa and Bow- manville may be having record years, "Both May and June were excellent months and the trend is continuing in July," he add- ed. A Whitby realtor says there is no increase in the number of homes for sale in his area, "There are fewer houses be- ing sold and fewer are avail- able," he said, noting that local legislation is restricting the de- velopment of new subdivisions. "There have been no sub- divisions in the last five years,'"" he said, adding that the situa- tion should improve when Whitby and Whitby Township amalgamate.

The zoning bylaw required a four- foot sideyard but tthe three- inch shortage was not dis- covered until recently, in con- nection with the proposed 'sale.

Hyman last night granted the variance to the bylaw re- quested by Mrs. Walter Woj- tasiewicz, 624 Crerar Ave. College Opening By Rai ed there will be no com- pleted classrooms when teach- ers arrive on Aug. 1. The problem of supplying the college with water is mainly a question of who will pay for it. The Council of Regents, the body which governs colleges, feels that the local community (Oshawa) should make some contribution to the school, The provincial government has borne most of the cost of the college. Last week, East Whitby Township, where the college is located, approved the installa- tion of a sewer on the college site and agreed to extend wafer services from Oshawa to the college grounds. Dr. Willey is also having dif- ficulties securing a bus service to the college. Oshawa Public Utilities Com- mission cannot operate buses outside of Oshawa without a 'ial permit issued by the department of transport. The PUC already has two of these and additional ones are diffi- cult to procure. Burley Bus Service, which runs from Oshawa to Port Perry, could help but runs only a limited service.
