PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1985, WHITI3Y FREE PRESS Whiîtby's population growth justifies extra seat: Edwards Whitby's and Ajax's need for an additiosial voice on Durham Regional Council can easily be justified if tiseir population growth over tise ast 10 years 18 considered, Reg. Coun. Tom Edwards says. Edwards, along with Ajax Mayor Bill McLean, introduced a motion at Durham Regionai Counciliasking If you're oui to Increase your TV viewing on- joyment there's nothing lIke a vldeo cassette recorder to do the job. And Fsher has one that wiII give you viewîng enjoyment for years to corne - the FVH C810 VCR. t's Ioaded with features lîke a front-loadlng design, 105- channel cabie ready tuner, 14-day/3-event programmable timer and 1 0-function wireiess lnfrared remote control. So it's jusi the unit to make any audlivldeo systom complote. for its support for in- creased representation for tise two municipalities last year. However, regionai council rejected tise motion. In an interview with tise Free Press iast week, Edwards also refuted Durham West MPP George Ashe's claim that Bill 22 wasn't passed during tise iast sitting of the Ontario Legisiature because of pressure from Oshawa MPP Mike reaugis. "I higily doubt Mike did anytising like tisat," ise said, adding, "But I'm not going to be suckered into a fight $49900 between those two. " However, tise squabie between the two MPPs hasn't soften Edwards' position on thse subject. ",We need more equitabie represen- tation," he toid the Free Press. Wisen the Regionai Mumicipaiity of Durham Act was proclaimed in 1974, regionai council, Edwards ,maintains, "4was 50 structured that its membership was based roughiy on population. "But the population are changlng.
