Downey, mayor of Whit- by, for many years, in a letter receiv- ed by the Gazette and Chronicle from him at Los Angeles, California, urges the citizens of Whitby to give the strongest support to the gas fran- chise "bylaw on which the electors will vote on Saturday. Mr. Downey during 'his many. years' residence in 'Whitby was an outstanding citizen and public servant, and his letter. which is printed herewith, should be of interest at this time: "Editor, Gazette and Chronicle. "Dear Sir:--Again let me congrat- ulate you on your stand on the "gas franchise" to be voted on shortly. for coal, I would think that gas for Whitby would be received by all classes with open arms. With gas for cooking and water heating avail- able Whitby will certainly rank as one of the most desirable towns in Canada for residental purposes. "I can understand that this matter will have opposition from some. of your citizens. Back in 1903 and 1904, when the matter of 'having water supply was up in Whitby, it was op- posed and "very strongly by some very important citizens, and it was only by a very hard fight that the by-law was carried. "Then again, some vears later, about 1909 -- we had another keen contest, over granting a franchise to the Seymour Company for electric With the high-price now prevailing | d. FORMER MAYOR URGES WHITBY TO ENDORSE GAS FRANCHISE BYLAW ' a thirty-year franchise for the mse of streets to string the wires for electric current. The franchise ask- ed would not cost the ratepayers of Whitby one cent. in any way, and 1 could never understand why it should have opposition, "At the same time the franchise was voted on for the Seymour Com- pany ring electric cufrent, we had another matter for a vote of the electors namely the "free library act" This also was opposed by many very important citizens, and it was only by: thorough organization and hard work that both were carried. "I do not imagine there are many citizens in Whitby today who would are say that the installing of the water and sewerage, the introduction of the electric current, and the erec- tion of the beautiful library building were not a very great advantage to Whitby. ' "Will not the granting of the "gas franchise" turn out the same way 1 do hope it will carry. It is just what Whitby needs. 1 will be anx- iously waiting your paper telling the result of the vote. This is certain- ly a great opportunity for Whitby to get gas without expending a large amount for installing. coming from. If it is foreign capital, so much the better, Canada needs all the foreign capital she can get, and so does every other country. "Yours sincerely, power. This: company were asking "James H. Downey." Ask Council A number of important matters were dealt with at the annual meet- ing of the Port Whitby Ratepayers' Association held in. the Brock St. school on Monday evening, with the president, Seymour Whitney, presid- ing: All of last year's officers were re- elected, as follows: Honorary Presidents-- Mayor C.

The Association went on record as willing to co-operate with the Town Council in trying to abate these acts of destruction and spoiling the ap- proach to the harbour, and in hav- ing offenders brought to the notice of the Chief Constable. : The question of a community pie. nic was discussed; but this was left over until the next meeting, to be decided. The Association has a healthy membership and is taking a keen in- terest in civic and community af- fairs. x " MANY EVENTS IN WHITBY IN JUNE County Court, County Coun- cil, Nurses' Graduation, College Closing Whitby will be the centre of many interests during the month of June.
