What a relief to think lie flnaiiy putting people first. 7ze, article further staied that Mr. Newman feared the proposed population increase of 46,000 would give' (Cour- tice too mue/z politi cal leaver- age in the you ng region. lVhlitby 's officiai plan pro- poses J100,000 but fortunate- iy that won 't affect the region 's balance of power. In Une witlh the mayor's immediate plans fgr Whitbv is a proposed population of 4,600 frorn the present 41S in the smail area bounded by the Oshawa/JVhitby town Uine on the east, Dundas on the North, Burns Street extension (proposed) on the South and Thickson Road on the West. However such an increase will tuot affect the serene environment Of Whit'by so if must be 'reason- able, warranted and necessary' for thec poificians that is!
