towns image but hes the first to admit i sometimes make mis takes paul whitehouse is no stranger to whitchurchstouffville he was an employee on the staff of giffels for 11 years i was the liaison man

insists the residents may never be totally satisfied because of past developments but westfield is making an effort paul claims daily demands in putting out fires that constant ly flare up make it difficult to concentrate on the important business of planning and forecast ing he feels the two areas requir ing the most time are roads and developers paul sees the traffic study re lated to main street stouffville as a positive step the report will identify prob lems and make recommenda tions then well begin im plementing them he states pauls anxious to establish a garbage recycling program rec ognizing problems that lie ahead in terms of waste disposal paul claims hes now comfort able with other departments administered by the town press ures caused by growth are tremendous he says its
