The Old Post. Road, now Dundas Street, was named after a family of the same name whose house was a "route stop" for stage, mail and grain carriers travelling between Niagara and Kingston. The Post house, an old stoné structure still stands on No. 2 Highway west of sPickering. A. A. Post was appointed the first Ontario county architect in 1883. The first brick dwelling in Whit. by was built about 1851 by Ezra Annis, then member of the House of Commons for this riding, on the south-west corner of Dundas and Henry Streets. - Following Mr. Annis' death his nephew, a Mr. Gibson, lived in the house, Shortly after the Gibson family left the house the building caught fire and the ruins stood until the present owner, Town Clerk J. R. Frost purchased the land and built" his present home. Across the street, on the north- Inn, Stood on Post Road, . Now Dundas St. West Brick House, east corner of Dundas and Euclid Streets, was the first wayside inn or hotel, erected at approximately the same time. This inn was known as the Scripture House, after the proprietor, and Euclid Street was most frequently. known as Pump Street as an old fashioned pump stood in the .centre of the road for the use of travellers. The pump was placed in the street as the yard was not sufficiently large to accommod.- ate the numbers using the pump. A Mr, Carpenter was the next oc. cupant of the building, then Sam. uel Hatch and later Charles Taylor, collector of customs. Following Mr. Taylor's death the building was con_ verted into a double house, George Fothergill living in one part and a Mr, Jeffrey in the other.

Councillor John Strathy urged division of the duties and appoint. ment of an assessor and also' a town engineer at this time. At present the town receives the en. gineering services of H. L. Pringle, Public Utilities engineer, on a pgrt- time basis. i "I don't see the economy of, as. suming that an assessor. is auto. amtically an assessor," he declared.

Town Clerk J. R. Frost empha. sized the urgency for making an appointment as, soon as possible in order to get the roll under way and on the suggestion of Deputy. Reeve D, B. McIntyre, April 15 was set as the closing date for applica. tions. The present official's resig- nation is effective May 1.

His Worship added that Mr. O'Dell had given good service. On adjournment of the special council session, the applications committee discussed at length a proposed new procedure by.law for council.
