Neil Murkar, Secre- tary of thie Whitby Min- or Basebail Association, has written town court- cil alerting it of the dan- gers to Whitby residents caused by inadequate screening at two town basebail facilities. Mr. Murkar explained that there has been con- Isiderable praperty dam- age at the E.A. Fairman Sehool consisting of broken windows and porch Iights.
