PAGE 26 WEDNESDAY, DECLMBER 18, 1985 WIIITBY'FRLL PRESS Low inconle &partments to be buit A smaîl group uf regional officiais gathered lait week at the site of what was on- ce the historic Conant house to mark the ground breaking for the latest Durham Non- Profit Housing Cor- poration projeet, a $3 million apartment building which will con- tain low income family housing. The new complex is expected to be ready by June of next year and will contain 40 units, 60 percent of which will be rented out at market value while the remain- der will be rent-geared- to-income family apar- tments. Although the apar- tments are open to anyone in the region, Whitby Regional Coun- cillor Gerry Emm said al ter the ceremony that Whitby Council will be working to see that the town is next on the cor- porption's list of projec- ts. "&We're ripe for one of these in Whitby. There are more coming up and we'll certainly be ap- plying. The corporations newly installed Chair- man, Diane Hamre, told the Free Press that she is looking for increased funding for non-profit housing from the provincial and federal governrnents and new projects will be ap- proved wherever the need is perceived to be greatest. 'There are moves right niow in the upper levels of government to increase our funding and we're hoping that will corne through. If it does we'll be looking right across the region and wherever there is a need it will be ad- dressed," said Mrs. Hamre. The projects are en- tirely funded by the federal and provincial governments and ad- ministered by the Durhamn Non-Profit Housing Corporation. By renting out 60 per- cent of the apartments at market value, the corporation offsets the cost of the subsidized housing. Because of the historic value of the Conant family home which occupied the site on Simcoe St. until this faîl, the project proved controversial in the community, a fact that was not overlooked by I kCOOPER-SMITH VOUR ONE STOP STORE FOR ALL WILD BIRD FEEDING REQUIREMENTS *~I DELUXE BIRD MIX 20 Kg.. ....... $11.55 8 Kg .............$535 rhi li a top quality mnix made by us on ad- vice from the Audubon Society as a Premliurn bird seed.

"This has not been an easy project," said Regional Chairman Gary Herremna. "There's a lot of history here and we want to see that that history is preserved but I think two years down the road people are going to say we need more projects like this. It's an ideal site to serve Oshawa and the region. " the town should definitely do something about this - its a really poor job! " The town's director of public works said Mon- day that while he was concernied about the sod beîng dug up, he had ex- pected the problemn. "We knew when we decided to plough the sidewalks that in the older areas of town where we have 4' sidewalks, the blades of the ploughs would be wider than the sidewalk," said Dick Kuwahara. While Kuwahara responded to Thur- sday's complaints by knocking 6" off of the plougb blades the next GOLDEN GATE 107 Brook St.S.

The shorter blade (now 46" when angled) is still "very tight" and won't really solve the problem, he said., Kuwahara believes, however, that most of the grass that the ploughs dug up was overgrowth which hung 2-3" over the edge of the sidewalks. "Now it looks bad," he adrnitted, "but when we go around and examine the sod in the spring, we niay find that it's not as bad as it ap- pears to be. " Kuwabara said that the town would go back in the spring and repair any damage that bas been done. If the damage turns out to be more extensive is, he admits that the town will "have a real problem." While Kuwahara has looked into the purchase of narrower blades, so far, the company that sup- plies the equipment, Bombardier, bas no other blade to meet the town's needs. Modified blades can be ordered, but they are extremely costly, he said. The director of public works is hoping tbere won't be any more sod overturned the next time the ploughs go to work since "the damage bas already been done." If the overhanging grass Dunlop nt 203. 1610 Ave. twest- file east Ld. Car Prince ek caîl. -1636 Building is really from the last two to three years overgrowth as Kuwahara suspects, the town's 46" blades may be okay until 1988, when the grass grows back. The complaints received by the public works department were not from througbout the municipality Kuwahara stressed, but only from residents in the older neighborhoods. In the new subdivisions where ail of the sidewalks are 5' wide, the Bombadiers performed admirably. in fact, Kuwahara even received calîs thanking the town for providing the service. Double taxed Durham Board of Educatiori $600,000 for In 1982, Frank Miller, then Ontario treasurer, extended the seven per- cent sales tax to include purchases made by' boards of education. Liberal treasurer Robert Nixon is con- tinuing that practise. This means not only do property taxpayers pay for board purchases with their school assessment they also pay for the sales tax which' goes to the provincial goverament. The association of arge school boards of Ontario is concernecl fhat this indicates Nixon's acceptance of property taxes as a source of revenue for the province.
