Williams, Edicor. Phone 703, All Departments COUNCIL MARKETS $183,000 DEBENTURE ISSUE Markham Net Seven In Money To Be Used for New Disposal Plant And Sewer Extension Program Here ® A 4 The Whitby Town Council, at last gand water mains and also construct | . : some new ones to meet the increas- Brooklin W.A. Fight's meeting, passed a by-law authorizing 'the marketing" of de- pentures in the amount of $183,000 for the proposed construction of a sewage disposal plant and addition- al sewage extension work to be completed in the town this year. Of this amount $158,000 will be ear- marked for the new disposal plant while the remaining $25,000 will be used to carry out additional sewer extension work in the town. The by-law stated that tenders were to be called for on the deben- ture issue and that the deadline for accéptance of such tenders was to be noon, February 2, 1948. The new sewage disposal plant planned for here will replace the present outmoded model and will, it is stated, relieve much of the discomfort . at present caused cit- izens in certain sections of the town because of the inability of the old plant, which is nearly thirty years old, to do the job asked of it. Plans were made for the project nearly late in 1047 before blue prints and permission was recelved from the engineer and Municipal Board. It is expected that work on the pro- ject will commence in the spring as soon 'as the ground is in fit condi. tion. The $25,000 earmarked for sewer extension work will be used by the P.ULC. to extend existing sewer lines ed demand for such services in the town. The Council also gave permission to the Whitby Board of Education to negotiate the purchase of some land on Brock St. 8., near the Brock St. school, from the Goldring Es- tate. The Board informed Council that the land was available for pur- chase and thta they had been of- fered it at a cost of $1,500. Councillor Harry Jermyn told the Council that he thought it would be a good move to purchase the property and that in his estimation the price was not excessive. Town Clerk Jack Frost informed Coun- cil that the land in question had been' purchased by the Goldring fa- mily many years ago for $1,200 and since that time they had paid taxes on it, He also said that he did not think the price too high. It is believed that the intention of the Board of Education is to keep the land for a year or two and then convert it into a larger school. yard and playground to serve the Brock St. School. Councillor Harold Mace, Port Whitby, told Council that he con- sidered it an excellent move and that if they did not authorize the purchase of the land now that in several years Council might be call- ed upon ta purchase the same land, and in addition, some buildings, for a much higher figure.

G. Strathy, up- ping the salaries of many municipal employees. The recommendation came from Mr, Strathy after a study of requests for increases which have come from town employees during the past few months, Included in the list of employees whose salaries were raised by Coun. cil's action last night were five members of the Works Department staff, Town Clerk Jack Frost, Tax Collector E. Richradson, Miss Mildred O'Dell and the four mem- bers of the Whitby Police Depart- ment, Mr. Frost will receive in future $3,500. per year, Miss Richardson will receive $2,000 per year, Miss O'Dell will receive $1,050, Chief Wil- liam Elliott will receive $2,380, Ser- geant Love will receive $2,080, and Constable Thomas and Sturtevant will receive $1,880, It. was pointed that the raises amounted to $15 per month in every case. By their action in granting the requests for increases in 'salary Council is simply falling in line with other neighbouring municipalities who have granted salary increases or who have signified -their inten- tion of doing so. In addition Council also accepted a Finance Committee recommenda- tion to give Works Supervisor Fred O'Deli-a $100 car allowance for the enswing year. Reeve Andrew Muif and Councillor Russell Underwood both spoke in favour of granting the car allowance to Mr. O'Dell, pointing out that he made many trips out of town in his capacity of Building and Weed Inspector. In making the recommendation Coun- cillor Strathy indicated 'that his committee was in fawour of grant- ing the allowance for the coming year anyway. "Let's try it out for the year," he said. Council heard a petition signed by employees of Price Yards Ltd. well-known Whitby lumber compa-~ ny, censuring members of the Coun- cil for their recent action in bring- ing suit against the company for the removal of a fence and ma- chinery from the unused and block- ed off portion of Pine St. In the letter the employees point- ed out that the company was being forced to leave the town through Council's action and by so doing they were leaving the way open for many heads of families to be thrown out of work. At a recent meeting of the Coun- cil Price Yards was ordered to re- move the fence and their machinery and other equipment from the road- way because of objections lodged by Reginald Read, a ratepayer, whe lives on Pine St., and who claimed that his driveway was continually being blocked by parked trucks and other traffic doing business with the firm. Council learned that when the company was established in Whitby they were given permission to use part of the street for the duration of the war sincé they were doing war work. Council was told that the com- pany had been ordered to vacate the land nearly a year ago and had not done so to date sp an action had been started by the Town to have the court order the company off the street. After some discussion last night, all in committee of the whole, it was decided to instruct John Hare, Town Solicitor, to get together with the proprietors of the company and Mr. Read and to try and reach an amicable settlement to the dispute.

Mrs, Fisher called for nominations for president and vice- president, Mrs, Kenneth Holiday and Miss Helen Jackson were the unanimous choice of the 'Circle. Downing Legionnaires In a senior "B" classic Tay- lor's Arena last night the Whitby Legionnaires dropped their third home game of the series to the high flying Markham Millionaires by a 7-2 count. A packed crowd was on hand to watch the teams display some terrific hockey but the hometown aggregate were un- able. to cope with the classy visit- ors who skated and passed the puck with such dexterity that they drew rounds of applause from the fans in every period. However, the score certainly didn't inclinate the play as Whitby fought doggedly in all three frames. The Whitby forward com- binations had all the talent of Markham but most of their plays ended at the goal mouth, where Harper, invincible netminder of the Millionajres, turned shot after shot away and only in the middle In Rough Contest frame were the locals able to pene- trate his armour .as the goal- getters gave him no chance at all, eing right in on top of him. It was' in this period that the Legion looked as though they might up- set the visitors. Markham's Period As the game got underway in the first period, Whitby hemmed in the Markham crew continuously for the first three minutes. They were right in on Harper but either missed the net or fired point blank at the goalie. Finally Lawrie opened the scoring by flipping one past Burkart, this was only a starter as the Millionaires launch- ed a power play and" Watson, speedy left winger blinked the MARKHAM (Continued on Page 12) Byers Motors Still Undefeated As They Whitby Red Wings bowed out to Byers Motors in the second game of a double header last night played in Oshawa by a 4-2 count. Byers took the lead in the initial period and were never in any real trouble for. the balance of the game. The win for the motor men put them in a strong hold for first place, a full two games in front of the Red Wings. Keeble set the pace for the home club sinking 2 markers besides playing a heads-up game. Arnold and Hooker netted the two Whitby tallies. Play was on a very even basis for the first 15 minutes of play with both teams playing a defensive style of hockey. Byers then took the lead as Keeble, short blonde winger of the car men, shot and the puck deflected off one of the Whitby players' skates, giving Dalby in the Edge Red Wings 4-2 local twine no chance whatsoever. This marker inspired the Byers' club who kept pressing in on the lo- cal net only to be out guessed by Dalby. Moore had very little action in the opposing twine as the de- fence stopped the oncoming Red Wings before they could get within striking range ' of the uprights, Whitby did, however, miss one good scoring chance when with no one to beat and the goalie out of his net, they shot wide of the goal. Byers increased their lead to two goals as Hinde banged one home on a pass from Edwards and Machin, This goal was not a clean cut type as it came as a result of poor clear= ing in front of the Whitby goal. BYERS MOTORS (Continued on Page 12) Following the business meeting a very enjoyable social. hour was spent. The Mission Band met on Jan. 13 in church basement.
