! PAGE FOUR I] THE DAILY TI MES.GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1948 LATEST NEWS OF THE COUNTY TOWN OF WHITBY Rusiness Office: Miss G. Madpherson. Editor: Robert Corbett, phone 2589 Phone 703, All Departments Carcasses Of Dog, Cow Add To Stench Borne. By Port Whitby Folks Residents in the Port Whitby area are up in arms about the var- jous stenches, flies and mosquitoes with which they had been afflict- ed since the hot weather began. They do not agree on the source of the odors but many causes may be responsible, Some of it is from the stagnant marsh; some blame the seepage from the sewer dis- posal plant and some say the dump is responsible, "If we maintained a privy that was such a public nuisance, the town would give us orders to clean it up in short order, yet they will do nothing about this odor," one ' resident told. The Times-Gazette yesterday. A reporter sampled the stench several times lately and was satis- fied that there is ample ground for complaint. In addition to the causes listed in the above, dead animals have been seen floating in the creek in that vicinity. Disin- tegrating carcasses of a cow and a dog have been seen in the marsh, Citizens and councillors who are out of nose-shot of the smell are inclined to be unsympathetic with what is being endured. One coun- cillor expressed the opinion that completion of the sewage disposal plant, which is now well under way, might solve the problem for next year, Others are not so optimis- tie. pressed the opinion that it is dis- graceful that town taxes should be levied upon citizens who are re- quired to live in an atmosphere which suggests the slums of the Middle Ages. / Burma General Now Chief Sleuth London--(CP)--Gen. Sir William Slim, commander of the 14th Army in Burma during the war, leads a new campaign to defeat thieves who "lift" silk stockings, cigarettes, foodstuffs and innumerable other articles from British railways.

V. Clyne, chairman of the Canadian Maritime Commis- | sion, said here in an interview. | "The whole difference is that we have a cargo fleet in being," said. "We didn't in 1939." The country's long-term replace- | ment program, under which buyers | of the war-built 10,000-ton park | vessels can alter their financial ur- rangements with the government to replace them with more modern vessels, is progressing satisfactorily, he added. The. program provides a building reserve which would oro- vide employment in hard times. Under original contracts, buyers of the government-owned park ves- sels were not allowed to sell them if it involved transfer of the ships to non-Canadian registry. Under the commission's replacement pro- gram they can be sold to foreign buyers if the proceeds of the sale are used to build new tonnage. Capt. H. S.
