Despite the govern- ment's caîl for re- straint, the cost of run- ning the region's $43.1 million annual, opera- tion continues to .urse. Several regional c oun- cillors expressed con- cern that council con- tinues to 'initiate pro- jects that cost' tax- paeyersrmore each year. "I'm wondering when this coundil is going to stand, up and say no," councillor Dianne Hamre said. "We've just got to say no, we can't do the roads this year because the region, can't afford it."1 Councillor Laurie CahilI charged council with striking an "elec- tion budget" in 1982, leaving the region with debtà in water and sewer operations. "We blow the re- serves every time there is an election and then we come back and say sock it to 'em,," CahilI charged. Finance Chairman, John Aker, however, said the charge is un- founded ' because the region will have "a small surplus" in its 1982 water and sewer operations.

Some of them were involved in the creation of Denis O'Connor in Whitby 20 years ago, and took the move to Ajax as a sign> the Catholic community will be tomn apart. "I typed the brief 20 years ago that finally convinced the Bishops to have a Catholic high school in Whitby," said Verda Packer, a long time supporter of separ- ate schools. "We worked so, bard for- it, and it hurts, " she said. "Our parish sup- ported that school when no one else.would."

"Those of us who worked so hard for the school have been sold down the river." Other angry Whitby residents said the regional systeni just doesn't work when a fine tradition can be tomn out and moved. "It're really ironie that the Catholic School Board is going' against -tradition, when it's al- ways the most concern- ed about tradition," one Man said. Another angry parent said he would re-direct bis school support to the public school board if DO'T is moved to Whit- by. The potential bur- den on Henry Street High Scbool and Ander- son Collegiate could be great if a substantial number of separate scbool supporters follow that lead.
