Phone 703, All Departments Introduce By-Law To Borrow $11,000, 5 Year Debentures A by-law to provide Zor the bor- rowing of $11,000 dollars for Public School purposes upon debentures received Its first and second read- ings by the Whitby Town Council at the Council meeting held last night. The money raised by the de- bentures, if the by-law is approved by the Municipal Board, be used to pay for the purchase of the site and the architect's fees and other expenses incurred when it was posed to build a new public ool in Whitby. The proposal was put to a vote of the people by order of the Municipal Board and was de- feated by a large margin, The by-law stated that $4,500 of the amount borrowed would be used to pay for the site selected by the Board of Education and the re- maining $6,500 would cover archi- tect's fees and other expenses. Although it had previously been thought advisable to pay the $11,000 in one year the Council had .been informed that by so doing the On- tario Department of Education would not be required to bear 50 per cent of the cost. It was further pointed out that if the debentures were spread over a period of five years then the Department of Edu- cation would pay the 50 per cent as is their policy at the present time : regarding educational costs. . The debenture period under the provisions of the by-law will cover a span of five years and will mean the payment of $2,200. plus interest on the unpaid balance each year for the five years. Town To Combat Dog Nuisance With Aid Of Dog Catcher Despite newspaper editorials to the contrary which indicate that 'Whitby is able to exercise some con- trol over the number of dogs which are running loose in the Town, the Whitby Town Council last night saw fit to pass a motion recom- mending the hiring of a dog catch- er. The subject, which was broach- ed by Mayor William Davidson, was thoroughly thrashed out during the meeting and the hiring of a dog catcher was the suggestion which most appealed to Council. Mayor Davidson said that some- thing would certainly have. to be done and done fast in regard to the situation existing with dozens of dogs running around the town do- ing untold damage to lawns and gardens, He said that despite re- peated warnings in the press dog owners in the town still saw fit to Jet their animals run the streets without supervision and that the situation might possibly call for the hiring of a dog catcher. Chief William Elliott stated that his department has received a num- ber of complaints from taxpayers but was unable to cope with the stiuation unless the complainant could identify the owner of the offending animal. Chief Elliott said that his de- partment was willing to prosecute the owner of any dog which was al- lowed to run the streets but that in order to do this the owner must be known. He added that most of the complaints received by him have concerned dogs which are allowed to run the streets during the early morning hours. Reeve Andrew Muir made a mo- tion that the Town of Whitby se- cure the services of a dog catcher stating that in his opinion this was the only way to rectify the pituation. Councillor J. G. Strathy expressed the opinion that a by-law was use- less umless enforced and that despite repeated warnings published in the press many dog owners still chose to neglect them and 'therefore should be prosecuted. It was pointed out to Council that ® recent editorial in a newspaper led one to believe that Whitby had partially solved its dog nuisance problem by the publishing of warn- ings in the press. However, it was also pointed out that this was not Intermediate Baseballers Sign 12 Men Twelve players have been signed to certificates by the Whitby Inter- mediate "B" baseball team to date and indications are that others will be signed momentarily. The signing of the players took place in the Town Park on Friday evening ef last week following the evening practice. Officials of the team are hopeful that the calibre of the 1947 edition will be such that the team. will make the Ontario playdowns and possibly cop the Ontario title. How- ever, Coach McCarroll, refuses to make any definite pre season pre- dictions as to how his team will fare in the regular schedule which opens in Whitby on Saturday afternoon. 'Whitby play host to the smart Port Hope Intermediates on Vic- toria Day in the first half of a holi- day doubleheader. The other game will probably be between the Whit- by Juvenile baseball crew and an all star Oshawa team. However, final arrangements have not been completed as yet for the juvenile exhibition contest. Listed among the twelve men who who have already signed intermed- iate certificates for fhe coming sea- son are several old timers and members of previous intermediate clubs. The complete list of signers up to the present is as follows: Albert Knight, Earl Hancock, Bob Beaton, John McCarroll, R. Lintner, E. Quantrill, Lloyd Dafoe, Wilmot Gates, Len Yuill, Leslie Reid, John Majcher and Frank Harden. HIGH COST OF MOVING HYDRO POLES (Niagara Falls Review) Wouldn't #t be a wonderful thing if we could remove all the Hydro and other poles from the streets, but most of us hesitate to suggest it on any wholesale scale when it is noted that the. cost of putting Hydro poles/ underground in To- ronto is estimated to be $25,000,000.

One of the bright lights on the club's horizon is the way in which the veteran Taffy Maine and young Wally Samanski are tending to their hurliig chores. In practice sessions so far the club's two start- ing pitchers have proved almost un- beatable. The remaining members of the team are fast shaking the signs of the winter lay off and such proven players as Jack Spencer, Ed Sam- anski, Doug Hogson, Pud Watson and Perc Steffler are fast rounding into what some observers call mid season form. In addition to the vet- erans mentioned above the team boasts six rookies who, although playing their first season in Iater- mediate "A" company, are showing plenty of promise. Officials of the local team stress. the fact that they are still looking for other prospective players and urge that anyone interested Son out for the next practice which is slated for this evening, The first game of the local soft- ball season will be played in the Town Park on May 28.

Doc., of Port Credit has been tendered and has accepted an in- vitation to become principal and Governor of the Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, at the end of June, 1948, when Rev. Dr. Carscallen, the present incumbent of the office, will retire. Recently when Dr. Carscallen in- dicated his desire to retire at the end of another school year, a spe- cial committee of the Board of Directors was appointed to select his successor. Dr. Osborne was their choice and the Board confirmed that decision unanimously extend- ing to him the invitation which he has accepted. Dr. Osborne, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Victoria Col- lege, is also a doctor of music. He was formerly assistant minister of Timothy Eaton Memorial Church, Toronto, going seven years ago as pastor to First United Church, Port Credit where he has been ever since. Both Dr. Osborne and his wife have been keenly interested in work among young people. Dr. Osborne will assume his new position in June of next year, when Dr. Carscallen will retire upon the completion of twenty years of im- portant and successful work in the administ?ation of College affairs, Public School Concert Heralded As Best Ever By Students, Teachers A 4 The stage has been set for the most successful public school con- certs ever to be presented to the citizens of Whitby according to word received today from teachers and high school officials. The con- certs, an annual event prior to the completion of the year's work, will be held tonight ang tomorrow night in the Whitby Towa Hall A total of over 500 pupils from the three 10 schools, Dundas, Brock and Ki Streets, will par- ticipate in the "two day concert which will include singing and the presentation of plays. The public school teachers in charge of the drama groups and Mrs. Veraon Rowe, musical director, are quite confident that the 1947 concerts will be the best ever. Rehearsals have taken place dur- ing the last few weeks in the vari- ous schools and according to offi- clals in charge have been -very suc- cessful. A feature of the concerts this year will be the presentation of awards by the local chapter Daughters of the Empire and Whitby Kinsmen Club to outstanding pupils. The D. of E. presentation will be made by Mrs. George Fothergill to the pupils attaining the highest standing in social study subjects during the past year while Gordon Hawes, president of the Kinsmen Club, will make the presentation of Trophies to the three pupils, one from each school, who received the highest number of student votes for all round good citizenship. The D. of E. presentation has been made for several years past but 1947 will mark the third year in which the Citizenship Trophies have been pre- sented. Another indication of just how hard the pupils have been working to ensure the success of the concert can be gained by the fact that all costumes which will be worn have been made by teachers and pupils of the three schools. , The concerts will, of 'necessity, follow a similar pattern to those of other years but according to the enthusiastic reports from the teach- ers who have been directing the pupils the concerts this year will surpass anything ever presented be- fore. It is hoped that a large number of parents and other citizens" will attend the concerts this year and in that way show their apprecia- tion for the hard work which has been done in preparation for the event. Tonight's concert will commence at 8 pm. and will include pupils from both Brock and Dundas St. schools while the Wednesday eve- ning concert will include pupils from the King St. school only.

Before the by-law wil: receive its third r it will be necessary to submit it to the Municipal Board for their ap- proval, Designed to restrict the building of house too close to one another the by-law was prepared on orders from the Town Council after re- commendations from the Town Planning Board were taken into consideration. The by-law, which will not be- come effective until the third and final reading, states that no person shall build a dwelling house on a lot smaller than 40 feet by 80 feet and that if a larger lot is divided into a number of smaller lots each building lot must have the min- imum dimensions as outlined. The restrictions will apply to the Town of Whitby in entirety except in the following locations: (a) land fronting on Brock Street, south of Mary Street and North of Gilbert Street. (b) Land fronting on north side of Dundas St. between Hickory Streets and Centre St. north. (¢) Land fronting on south side of Dundas St. between Hickery Street and Centre Street south. Under the provisions of the by- law any offender will be liable to a fine of $50 exclusive of court costs or a maximum jail sentence of 21 days. Deputy-Reeve McIntyre told the Council that in his estimation people already owning lots with a 33 foot frontage as per the require- ments of the former by-law, should be given a chance to appeal their case to either the Town Council or the Planning Board. Mayor Davidson said that he was in accord with the Deputy-Reeve's suggestion and was followed in this statement by Reeve Andrew Muir. It was suggested that the -pro- visions of the new by-law should be widely publicized so that prospect ive land owners will ensure that any land purchased after the pass- ing of the by-law will meet the new requirements.
