N PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1947 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Business Office, Miss G. Macpherson; Wm. T. Williams, Editor. Phone 703, All Departments Civic Nominations Will Be Held In Town Hall Tonight With the municipal nomination meeting scheduled to be held this evening in the Whitby Town Hall, considerable speculation and con- Jjecture as to possible candidates for the 1948 Municipal elections, is heard, Attempted interviews with pres. ent council members proved of little or no value with the majority of the members declining to com- ment. It has been suggested that the entire 1947 Council will run for office providing they are nom- the fact that acclamations for any office may not be announced offi- cially until nine p.m. the following evening. All candidates have until that time to qualify for any office for which they have been nomin- ated." Mr. Frost pointed out that in the event of any one person being nom- inated for more than one office he must declare his intention as to which office he will contest at the inated and tentative support has | meeting been given this statement because of the fact that no member of the present council has definitely de- clined the possibility of re-election. Town Clerk Jack Frost said to- day that he did not look for an exceptionally large turnout of rate- payers at the nomination meeting and added that he based this opin- ion on the poorly attended meetings in previous years. Mr. Frost outlined the program for tonight and issued a statement as to qualification procedure for nominated candidates. The meeting will start promptly at 7.30 pm, and will remain open for the receiving of nominations until 8.30 although Mr. Frost said that under a new ruling he may keep the actual nomination meet- open for business as long as it is justified in his own descretion. Previously the nomination meeting was allowed to remain open for one hour only. "Candidates nominated for office must be present at the meeting" he said "unless they place in my hands before the meeting a written state- ment as to why they cannot attend and also the office for which, they intend to run if nominated. "Another change in procedure is "If this is not done" he said, "then the candidate will automat- ically 'become elegible only for the first office for which he was nom- inated." Mr, Frost sald that he had al- ready received two written state- ments from ratepayers who wish to run in the event of a nomina- tion but who will not bé able to attend the meeting. One of these is from Phillip K. Draimin, who will accept a nomination for the Board of Education, and the other is from Harold J. Mace, Port Whit- by, who has signified his intention of accepting a nomination for the Town Council. Mr. Draimin cannot attend because his presence will be required at the High School Com- mencement ceremony, while Mp, Mace indicated that he will prob- ably be working at his place of employment this evening. A second meeting""will be held immediately at the close of the nomination meeting during which 1047 Council, Board of Education and P.U.C. members will be afford- ed an opportunity to address the ratepayers present. All new nom- inees for municipal office will be given a chance to make an address' if they so wish during this meeting. Whitby Population To Be 10,000 in 1960-- Town Planning Board hd A letter to the Whitby Town Council was read during last night's special meeting of Council from the Whitby Town Planning Board ocncerning their views and beliefs gs to the future growth of the Town of Whitby, Jack Frost, sec- retary of the Town Plapning Board, told the Council that the letter was submitted in answer to a request from Reeve Andrew Muir for such a brief. Reeve Muir and Deputy-Reeve Duncan B. McIntyre indicated to Council that they required the in- formation so as to be able to sub- stantiate Council's feeling as to the present location of the County Home * ty. Excerp! from the Planning Board letter are as follows: 1. Our population studies indi- cate that the northwest section of the town is the most densely pop- lated area. 2. That the merging of the ,C.P.R. and CNR. tracks to the east of the town indicates that the area between the tracks is industrial in Aldsworth Cleaners OSHAWA DAILY PICK-UP SERVICE _MURIEL'S SHOP 105 Colborne St. West character. Enquiries from indus- tries confirm this belief. 3. That the Ontario Hospital oc- cupies the west side of the harbor. It blocks growth of the town to the southwest and confines the heavy industrial area to the east side of the harbor, 4| That the Ontario Ladies' Col- lege blocks the growth to the east. 5. That the Ontario County Home blocks the growth to the northwest. 6. That towns on this continent grow towards the horth or north- west and Whitby is no exception. 7. That the lake, road and rail- road traffic is in an east-and-west direction in general and that growth is influenced thereby. That the di- rection of growth is up wind and towards the largest centres there- fore in our case westerly. 8. That the Town of Whitby has doubled its population between the census of 1921 and 1941 and will grow faster in the next twenty years. We estimate that Whitby will have a population of ten thou- sand by 1960. 9. As a Planning Board our duty is to plan for this growth. That is to estimate what farm lands and in what order should be subdivided. Our opinion is that the portion: of the County Farm east of the On- tario County Home would be among the first to be so treated if private- ly "owned. 10. That we respectfully suggest that the Ontario County Council might advisedly take the following points of view into consideration when planning the erection of per- manent buildings; (a) That the County buildings should interfere as little as possible - -- HEATRE | NOW PLAYING Two Shows at 7:00 and 9.00 618 {aT = Saturday Matinee at 1:30 DICK HAYMES VERA-ELLEN § CESAR ROMERD CELESTE HOLM MES EEL ANE. DAN, irn4d Council : Names New Caretaker At a special meeting of the Whitby Town Council, cailed last night to discuss the selection of a caretaker and weighmaster for the Town of Whitby, J. BE, Clark, well-known Whitby man, was named to the post. Mr. Clark is a veteran of the last war, having served for nearly six years in the armed forces of Canada.

(b) The County buildings should not be built on thé most valuable property which the County possess- es. : (¢) That if, as many advocate, all government buildings be taxed by municipal authorities, then in that event the County would be wise to have their buildings so placed as to be assessed the least amount. (d) That if the growth of Whit- by makes the sub-division value of farm lands large, then the County would be wise to be in a position to realize on its valuable property to lessen the cost to the County tax- payers of proposed buildings. (e) That if the Ontario County Home continues to be located in the Town of Whitby but its loca- tion is determined for the benefit of the town, then the County should suffer no lessening of the benefits of sewer, water, fire and police protection services that it now enjoys. (f) That the Whitby Town Plan- ning Board by this brief expresses no opinion as to the advisability of the County Home staying or with- drawing from the Town of Whit- by.

Miss Flood, highly talented violin impressario from New York City, will came to Whitby fresh from conquests in many Ontario cities and towns and with noth- ing but the highest acclaim from internationally known music eri- tics who have héard her perform. Under the management of Phil Rublfioff, brother of the famous Rubinoff who captivated, audi- ences with his magnificent violin playing several years ago, Miss Flood is winding up a most suc- cessful tour of Canadian cities and towns prior to her departure fc the United States again. Proof that Miss Flood is recog- nized in this country as an out- standing artist is given by the fact that she will appear as guest artist in a concert in Toronto's famous Massey Hall, mecca of most American and European musicians who journey into Can- ada on concert tours. Tentative date for her Massey Hall appear- ance is December 4.

Believing that the price asked for by Miss Floods man. agement was too steep for the younger children, the Kinsmen Club has decided to bear a por- tion of the cost and the public school children will be given an Cards of Thanks Mr. Leonard Cox and family wish to extend their sincere thanks and ap- preciation to all friends and relatives for their kind expressions of sympathy extended during thelr recent bereave- ment and especially thanking Rev.
