Whitby) the position, recognizes the extra responsibilities that corne with the position, supporters argue. I think it- amounts toaa pittanoe ... (and) we would be lax in not providing an allowance in recognition of the extra duty that is required of a person in this role," said Ajax trustee Colleeri Jordan. "I have flot heard fromn the public that they wish their trustees ta be paid less. "In fact, during the last election, many of my public ratepayers were quite surprised at the low, am ount of inoney that we are receiving," added Jordan. .

No weapons was seen and no one was ir&ured during the heist. The bandit, described as white, around 185 pounde and between five feet, eight inches* and six feet tai, was 'given ,an. -undiscIosed amount of money. SWitnesses 'say he was wearing a green ski jacket and had a *scarf pulied'over his face. Police say the robbery'may be related to a. similar hold-up in Oshawa the day before.

SuIe promised ta let residents kno w about it during the next election campaign when she again plans ta i-un for mayor. Pitrkins then angnily left the meeting roomn. I don't think $500 is worth quibbling about and spending al this time (on)," she said. 'Tm not takcing any more money from the taxpayers for any wage of a trustee'. said Oshawa trustee Mike Nicholson, whose motion askIng the chairpersons' committee ta study the i-aise and pay levels for ail trustees was defeated 9-to-2 -*Hopper was the only trustee who supported it. I t.hink we've heard out there in the public that they do not want us ta spend any more money but to save money," said Nicholson. "I think that's the climate and that's oertainly what I was elected to do," said Nicholson. Brock Town~ship trustee Bill Fairburn, wýho h'eld the vice-chair position last year, did so without extra pay, Nicholson noted, "and I didn't hear one compiaint from, (him)."l "What is the reward for the person in this role," wondered Fairburn. "In my view, one is vice-chairperson in the hope that one learns ta be chairperson. That is the intrinsic value of the rôle." A HISTORICAI KEATUIRE in the Whitby Free, Press' 1.
