WIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1985, PAGE 7 Lynde House relocation put off until after vote By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff A motion of con- ditional support for the Whitby Historical Society's (W.H.S.) proposed relocation of Lynde House was put off until after the municipal election by a 5-4 vote by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC). The motion - put for- ward by Graham Field - intended support for the move "only after all other avenues have been fully explored and the move is demon- strated conclusively to be economically well- founded." The motion also dealt with the architectural and historical significance of the original site and with the designation of Lynde House under the Ontario Heritage Act. After a heated discussion on Field's motion, Michael Knell moved the motion be tabled until after the municipal election. He also suggested that the committee wait for a report from the ad- ministrator and for more information from the Durham branch of the Architectural and Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) and the W.H.S. Field defended his motion quoting from such publications as In- ternational Monuments and Sites that "relocating and dismantling should be employed as a last resort." Joe Drumm, east ward councillor, sup- ported by Marcel Brunelle, centre ward councillor, and Knell argued that the motion was outside the man- date of the LACAC. Field maintained that it was within the man- date and that it was similar to an August motion made by Knell, which LACAC had passed (and later rescinded) in support of the proposal by the W.H.S. to move Lynde House to Cullen Gar- dens. Knell said this had been a motion of support only. Drumm took excep- tion to what he said amounted to Field's "questioning the in- tegrity" of all members of LACAC if they didn't agree with the motion. Bryce Jordan, secretary of LACAC, said LACAC had the mandate to advise council. "The motion should be to advise council, not the W.H.S." As archivist of the W.H.S. and researcher of ACO, Brian Winter, said he had a foot in both camps, but was speaking for himself. (The W.H.S. has suppor- ted a proposal to move Lynde House, while ACO wants it retained on the original site.) Winter suggested everyone should back off to allow the W.H.S. time to prepare the full only when the society made its recommen- dations would it be ap- propriate to comment. Terry McNaughton story. "We need to give the W.H.S. a chance to manage its own af- fairs." Winter added that PROPANE DO IT ALL WITH PROPANE. DO IT ALL WITH SUPERIOR.
