Vernon MacCarl said this would permit special meet- ings of both councils being con- vened immediately following the council meetings to ratify ail matiers requiring attention rather than referring recom- mendations to the regular meetings of both municipal councils. The next joint amalgamation committee meeting will be held at Brooklin at 8 p.m. Oct. 5. Council decided it would seek a report from the reeves and deputy reeves of both munici- palities before giving assent to a decision of a joint meeting of the Whilby Township and Whit by Town Councils to recom- mend that they enter into an agreement with the Ontario Humane Society for the build- ing of an animal shelter and animal contro] in the newly amalgamated municipality. Coun, Hugh O'Connell object- ed vehemently to the adoption of the recommendation before the terms of the agreement were thoroughly studied. The matter of participation in the garbage disposal study pro- posed by the joint regional planning board was tabled. It was felt this. year's council not commit the 1968 council of the new Town of Whitby to such an expenditure. Town Engineer W. A. Evans will be asked for. @ report. Last Wednesday the amalga- mation committee, including most of the members of the two Whitby councils discussed a 19- point agenda at a meeting held in. the town's municipal build- g. The items under discussion included a new town map, dog control in the new town, assess- ment equalization, job integra- tion, equipment accommoda- tion, staff accommodation, re- fuse disposal study and street naming. The committee reached agreement on some of the issues and referred others for further study. The issues agreed upon will now come be- fore the councils of both mu- nicipalities for ratification.

TALKS GARS Public School Board Rejects Council Plan WHITBY (Staff) -- Despite a recommendation by town coun- cil that the Whitby Public School Board consider an addi- tional four teaching rooms at the Dundas Street Public School as part of the addition planned to replace' classrooms damaged by fire, the school board has notified council of its intention to proceed with plans previously agreed upon. These plans had already re- ceived tentative approval from the Ontario department of edu- cation. The board, in a letter to council last night, said plans ere underway for a new senior puble schoo] to be built in two phases, the first phase of which will be built in 1968. This, the board said, would make it pos- sible to organize the Dundas Street School as a kindergarten to Grade 6 school. This would make it possible for the board to release one classroom which is now occupied by Grade 7 pupils. Wth the release of this classroom, an increase of ap- proximately 30 to 35 pupils at the Grade 1 to Grade 6 level could be accommodated in this school without overcrowding. During the past year, the board said, the enrolment at the Dundas Street school has Mayor Newman Speaker At Guide, Scout Service -- WHITBY (Staff) -- Members of town council have been in- vited to attend the first inter- denominational Boy Scout and Girl Guide church parade to be held Sunday at St. Mark's United Church. Mayor Desmond Newman will be the speaker. It was decided to give an auto wrecking yard on Hickory St. two weeks to clean up its prem- ises. Mayor Newman said the yard, protected by two chained dogs, contained many wrecked vehicles. Coun, Eileen Moore was given the job of investigating a com- plaint, concerning hat shows, lodged by # commercial enter- prise. The complaint caused Coun. Don McQuay to wonder in what position it left service clubs who hold bulb drives. He jokingly suggested the matter might be handled by the sanita- tion committee; while treasurer Forbes McEwen quipped: '"'It sounds as if busines# can't get ahead." Due to the United Appeal Drive-rally Oct. 2, the next council committee meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 3. Coun: McQuay commended the engineering department on the speed, efficiency and jack of damage occasioned by the in- stallation of the new sidewalk on Annes St. Ron Bernardi was granted permission to install septic tanks to service three single- family dwellings on Centre St. §., provided he installs laterals for future sanitary sewer mains. Subject to a letter from the architect, St. Andrew's Pres- byterian Church will be issued a building permit for its new church at a nominal fee of $15. Council moved to proclaim Oct. 8 to 16 as Fire Prevention Week, Citizens will be urged to clean out their cellars in ac- cordance with fire regulations. Councillors Thomas Edwards, Hugh O'Connell and Harold Call For Builders If Plans Finalized WHITBY (Staff) -- The On- tario Housing Corporation has advised town council that should it be able to finalize ne- gotiations for the purchase of the property at the northeast corner of Ontario and Centre Streets, it will immediately ad- vertise for a builders' proposal call for the erection of 16 senior citizens units. Council, at a recent meeting, passed a resolution authorizing a grant of $8,000 to be made to the vorporation to enable the purchase of the property. The corporation enclosed a copy of the legislation which authorizes councils of munici- palities to contribute moneys to, and expend moneys on joint housing projects, and _ raise moneys therefor by the issue of debentures, without the assent of the electors and without ref- erence to the Ontario Municipal Board. GET SEA POWER KARACHI (AP)--The Paki- stan merchant fleet will have 98 Slichter were named as & com-| mittee to confer with Brin Brok Realty Limited regarding the terms of an agreement. The committee will report to coun- cil at its Oct. 10 meeting. Councillor McQuay was given power to deal with an applica- tion to rent the house on the service road owned by the town. Town engineer W. A. Evans was instructed to proceed with the reconstruction of the Coch- rane Street overpass. Perraission was granted for the holding by the Boy Scouts of an "Apple Day" on Oct. 21. Council endorsed a resolution from Cornwall calling for the use of only soft-based ingredi- ents in the manufacture of soaps and detergents as a means of cleaning up rivers, lakes and streams. The mayor and clerk were authorized to sign an agree- ment for the installation of a storm sewer on Brock Street, between Colborne and Ontario Sts. Subject to the approval of the chairman of the fire awd com- munity services committee, council approved the relocation of an automatic protection sig- nal on Watson Street. In receipt of a complaint re- lating to the condition of a lot in the vicinity of Johnston and Stewart Streets, council decided to ask the owner to appear be- fore council at its next commit- tee meeting. Threé readings were given to a bylaw authorizing the borrow- ing of $75,000 by debenture to finance the building of a sub- station by the public utility com- mission and improvements to the street lighting system. Council learned the public utility commission is having plans prepared to call for ten- ders for the construction of a 24-inch feeder main from south of the CNR to a point north of the Macdonald - Cartier Free- way at Hopkins Street. It is esti- mated the project will cost $206,- 000. The feeder will serve the proposed industrial subdivision. The public utility commission informed council it will expect a contribution of $10 per foot frontage for the town property facing on the west side of Hop- kins Street and the south side of Burns Street. This will enable the commission to establish a basis for those on the other side of the streets wishing to connect to the feeder mains. The chairman of finance, Coun. Edwards, was given power to place advertising in the Anderson Collegiate Voca- tional Institute year book. Council authorized the renting lof a tax billing machine for the town office. been 323 pupils. Excluding pupils in the kndergarten, the average number of pupils per classroom has been 31, Enrol- ment figures at the end of the first week of school this year, indicate the pupil population of the school has not changed and there is an average of 31 pupils per classroom. The board noted that approx- imately 100 of the pupils attend- ing the school reside in the dis- trict north of Dundas Street! and east of Anderson Street, and that for two years the board has been aware of some discontent by residents of the area at the location of the school their children attend. Several petitions and delega- tions sought transportaton. fac- ilities and enquired regarding plans for a school in the area. NEW SCHOOL It would appear likely, the board said, that a school will be built in the Bowman-Ander- son area wthin the foreseeable future. It might be that, follow- ing amalgamation, some re- alignment in school area boun- daires will be made, and to the approximately 100 pupils resid- ing in this district might be added approximately 100 pupils who reside north of Dundas Street and west of Thickson Road. The board also said it is aware of the many projecis for which capital expenditures have been requested of the town. By keeping the Dundas Street School project to a real- istic minimum, and replacing number of square feet as was destroyed, the board hopes to help keep the town capital de- able limits so that other pro- jects and future projects of the board may be adequately financed. First Test For Complex AJAX (Staff) -- The new Ajax municipal complex re- ceived its first weather chris- tening last week when a gale- force storm from the north- west lashed rain against the green structure. The rain entered the new council chambers, with a glass roof acting like a sieve. Mag- istrate Harry Jermyn was hold- ing court when the rain came and it forced his worship into the prisoner's dock.

It was also pointed out a formal sales agreement is required, and although a physical inventory of the system can be cleared up in about four weeks, many months of work are involved in -the pricing. The commission said approx- imately $900,000 in financing will have to be arranged. This includes an estimated value, at Dec. 31, 1966, of $650,000; $100, 000 in estimated improvements to the system in 1967 and es- timates capital expenditures during 1968 by debenture of $150,000.
