WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1978$,]PAGE 3, Centre Ward, eleetiion, Cont'd from P. 2 development, retaining the character of the older towýn, and working to implement a financially feasible limited transportation system. BARRY UVANS The issues are tax control, downtown ,improvemnent', and transportationý. If elected, I will attack these issues collectively. I propose to.insitute a public- transportation sysýtem to encourage people to shop downtown, and to encourage industry by providingtrans- portation for employees. I propose, to attract a mnajor office-shopping complex downtoWn by leasing town- owned land,, so that the initial cost of construction would be Iower, and th ereby provide a strong incentive to build. 'The public transpor- tation would assist in attract- ing development by trans- porting shoppers. Once a major complex was 'built, more people would be attracted downtown,* and area merchants would then bave the necessary incentive to improve their facilities. Any increase in industrial and' commercial develop- ment in Whitby will increase tax revenue, and thereby control tax increases. In summary, Whitby requires a comprehensive remedy, not bandaids on individual prob- lems. GORDON HANNA I consider the task 6f bringing the final fruition of many years work in down- town Whitby as my top prior- ity. This will not necessarily be easy considering the diversity of opinion that exists. However, I sincerely believe that some momnen- tum bas started an amn confi- dent that it can continue tbrough dedication of duty. Industrial Developnçnt to, belp balance tbe present beavy residential growth is a necessity and my job experi- ence in this field shouid be an asset to council i formulat- ing promotional plans for industrial attraction. Working with community organizations to continue and infact strengthen their roles in our community is an important priority of mine at this time. A conimunity of proud and invoived people as portrayed in the Cbamber's recent service clubs signs depends on encouragement and recognition. I arn In summary prepared to dedicate myself to build- ing the character, encourag- ing the pride and promoting the economic welI being of our Town.

BOB CARSON In the North Ward we'have the 'Brooklin study drawing to* completion. We are now negotiating who pays for what and the phiasing.

RENE THIEBAUD I believe that the number of one issue in the new term willI be the budget for the Town of Whitby. I pledg to. my utmost ability in showing ail the possible restraints for cuttîng down on frivolous. projects 'and concentrate on the basic needs 0f the people iii the Town of Whitby in the south a-s ithe north. No. 2 issue is new indus- tries and small businesses, thèse are greatly needed to balance our ever1 growing residential tax system. I would recommend that more financial and moral incen- tives be given to those indivi- duals who would consider' Whitby as a place of location. for their businesses. We do hbave the facilities and, we must move ahead. ,No.* 3 issue is the garbage collection in the Town of Whitby.

Whitby has the garbage collection included in their taxes but Brooklin must pay an'addi- tional, supplement1 to their taxes for this service' while the residents north of Brook- lin don't even have garbage collection. I think aI citizens should be treated equally.

The grant wil provide about one third of the funds for the park project, esti- mated to cost more than It is expected, that some work on the park can begin this month,, once tenders bave been let.
