A bylaw was passed by council authorizing the pur.. chase for $150,000. Specific plans for the use of the land have not been worked out, and the purchase is one in a series of acquisi- tions of property around the hrbor. The land extends fromn Victoria Street along the west side of the harbor to the lakefront. It had been purchased by the Provincial government for the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital 65 years ago. The town already owns about 70 acres along the east and north shores of the harbor. The latest purchase includes a large beach. The town is hoping to develop in the future a $1 million marina with accommo dation for 450 boats at Whitby harbor.
