Es tates developer is,*not1 bankrupt The developer of the Whitby Town Estates subdivision is not in re- ceivership and will com- plete ail promised public works Whitby Town Council was told Monday night. According to Edwin Hyde, solicitor for 248135 Investments Limited, the varlous let- ters of credit for the pro- ject have been renewed. "The company is operating and not in re- ceivership," Hyde said, "The bank upon req ýest of the company h as agreed to provide renewals of the 'letters of credit which are due." Administrator Bill Wallace told council that the town has re- ceived a new letter of credit worth $1.1 million to ensure that the work will be completed. The developer bas also issued contractors to complete public work in the subdivision which local politicians were afraid would not be done when it was originally learned that the firm had gone into receiver- shJp. Area homeowners were also afraid that un- fînished w*ork to their properties would not be completed. It seems that these fears have been laid to rest. "A contract with Valentine Enterprises Contracting has been entered into for the com- pletion of curbs, gutters, sidewalks and second coat of asphaît and in addition a grading and sodding contract bas been entered into with Crown Grading and Sodding Limited to com- plete the final grading and sodding as per the subdivision agree- ment," Hyde said. The work was to have begun- yesterday. The curbs and gutters should be installed in a week's time with con- crete sidewalk work beginning on June 29. According to the public works depart- ment the final coat of asphaît.for the subdivi- sion should be laid on August 9.

Har la id gives town $500 to repair par Bruno Harilaid, a well-known local busi- nessman, bas donated $500 to the Town of Whitby to help repair damage done by van- daIs to Rotary Centen- niaI Park. Harilaid's donation was flot the only one re- ceived by the town this week as the Corridor Area Ratepayers Asso- ciation also gave $300 to help fix up the park that had $2,300 damage done to it over the last week. "Vandalism is cer- tainly one of the most deplorable acts of waste mankind creates, " Harilaid said in a letter to council, "There cer- tainly neyer is any ex- cuse for it, be it on public property such as schools and parks or on private property."1 "As a private citizen, it is frustrating when those in authority take it lightly and hope the problem will disappear by itself," he continued adding that he support- ed -Mayor Bob Atter- sley's recent statement that if the vandals are apprehen'ded, they will be p'rosecuted to the full- est extent of the'law., "Ig support your com- ments recently publish- ed in a local newspaper and hope those respon- sible for the needless damage in Rotary Park are adequately dealt with," 'Harilaid said, "The cost of restoration is a burden the tax- payers ought not to be faced with. 1 Ted -ARNTS LOAM SUPPLY LTD.
