The only way that the increase in funding will have any meaming, Bugelli added,,was if it was based on 1983's assessment. The- municipality, he continued, supplies the provincial. with the assesmient figuresan- nually so the inistry's --arguemnent that the 1982 figure was used because 1983's weren't available doesn't hold water. ."IThe five per cent was eaten up, in '84, " Bugeili said, "And it is, nullified ta '85 com- pletely."y) "We have.,to, recap- ture the five par cent using the 1983 figures." ,s credit for break-mnarrest Police officiais are giving credit tothe West Lynde Neighbourhood Watch after, two men were arrested last Thursday afternoon while attempting to break into a Deerfield Crt. home.

Contacting the service doesn't constitute a long distance cail since 433- 2424 is an Oshawa ex- change. Also, the car radios have the range to reach ail parts of the Town of WhÏitby. Hookway notes that his service wil be of value because Whitby doesn't have that many retail liquor and beer stores and some areas such as West Lynde and Otter Creek have a fair drive to reach them. He.also hopes that his* service wiil have one other benefit. "We might help keep a few drinking drivers off the road. "1 TTENTIONt ~ALL WTCHEs,4 ~ GHOSTS, GOBLINS, AND' GOULS!! THEPARTY IS HERE SAT.
