"Itfs working people are tak- ing it seriousÏy. We have ne where near the problems we once had,» ho said.

Last April, for example, about 600 tires were found in a north Whitby ditch. The cost te, the Town for removing garbage and cleaning- Up the.areas was becoming tee, expensive. In 1990, the figure was $88'80' but in 1991 tho cost had jumped te $105,900.. Lat year, council allocated $105,000 in the 1992 budget for this purpose, but with only haîf the year gene, the Town had already spent 60 per cent of that ameunt. As a resuit, council took action. Anyone convicted under the new bylaw could be slapped with a fine ranging from $1,000 te, $5,000. As an incentive te, residents te, report incidents of illegal dump- ing, council offered a reward of $300 te anyone providing infor- mation leading te a conviction. Although ne one has yet been charged, nor any rewards pad eut, Brunelle said people are aware of the situation in Whitby. Town staff have received several calîs from residents whe came across people dumping gar- bage and Town employees on rou..ne patrol have aise, caught people in the act, Brunelle said.
