. J. H. ORMISTON Editor and Manager PHONE 703 @ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WHITBY AND DISTRICT NEWS , Thursday, May 14, 1953 "BETTER THAN THE JEEP? The military jeep achieved the reputation of travelling over just about any terrain, but here is what is supposed to be an improvement on the jeep. Devel- oped by the U.S. navy, it's called a rolligon, and is said to be able to "travel over sandy beches, ice and snow, where a jeep would flounder. The secret of its mobil- ity is the size of its pneumtic tires -- four feet in width and two feet high.

B as- auction | Water Extensions Would Cost $39,000 Applications for water extensions which, if granted, would cost $39,- 753.10, were presented to the Whit- by Public Utility Commission at the May meeting held in the Board room. Such a heavy capital expen- diture, it was agreed is simply impossible as the Commission's funds are limited, and there is no desire to raise the rates for water services. All of the applications will be dealt .with at a special meeting to be held on Thursday evening, May 21 at 7.45. The Com- mission said that the number and nature of the applicaions required more consideration. The Commission viewed witn deep concern costly extension ask- ed for to serve subdivisions or blocks of land either now being offered for sale as building lots, or in cases where such develop- ment is contemplated. For instance on Peel Street, the engineer estim- atd that installations, if approved would cost $1605.50, with the land owners benefiting chiefly at the expense of the general taxpayer. The opinion was freely expressed at the meeting that subdivisions and lesser land developments for speculative purposes should pay one hundred per cent of the cost of water extensions and it is not unlikely that this policy may be adopted by the Commission at the special meeting. ALREADY PLEDGED The Commission, it was reveal- ed, is already committed to water extensions that will cost over $9.- 000. One of these is one to serve the new Whitby District High School, estimated to cost, $3,054. It will be laid along Henry Street and is a must as tenders for the school are now being called. The Commission is anxious to make extensions to serve new homes as fast as possible and yet not lose sight of the fact that some homes that have been in ex- istence for many years must also be served. LARGEST DEBENTURE ITEM Mayor Jermyn told the Commis- sion that the largest debenture debt item shown in the town's statement of liabilities is for water- works. The figure at the end of last year was $179,000. It is even bigger than for schools, the mayor said, although one might think that this item would be the highest. Debt for schools is $145,000 and sewers $168,000. APPLICATIONS MADE Applicants for water extensions, with the deadline passed' for re- elving others were: H. E. Bell, Arthur Wilson, Everett Pogson, A. K. Sheepwash, F. 8. McGary, E. A. Rchertson, W. L. Bradley, Alan Jones and Mrs. Lila Collins. All are in different parts of the town, and accompanying them were es- timates prepared by Superintend- ent Pringle. Present Jackets To "52 Merchants At Banquet Practically on the eve of the season opener this Saturday after- noon, the. Whitby Merchants got the 1953 season off with one of the finest starts to be seen in any club. Said start was a very in- formal but totally adequate ban- quet and presentation of jackets at the Royal Hotel on Wednesday evening. Manager of the team this year, Bill Hurley, was in command of the affair and pointed out that the dinner was positively informal and to illustrate his point, cited that there would be no after-din- ner speakers. There were none. Jack MacDonald, 1952 manager of the team took about four minutes to present jackets to his last year's squad. In his introduction Jack Bill bers with handsome white jackets. claimed that he had retired from the team's management this year after taking the Whitby Merchants farther along the championship trail than they had ever gone in the past. Jack denied being excep- tional and stated that he had been fortunate to come in when it was "'Whitby's year." RECEIVED JACKETS With no more ado, Jack then personally presented each of the following players and club mem- bers with handsome white jckets. Receiving them were G. Hanna, G. Ward, G. Neal, D. Sutton, D. Crawford, A. Gilbert, F. Bidgood, L. Yuill, Ken MacDonald, B. Ward, Kay, D. Gavas, K. MacDonald, O. Billenduke, R. Lintner, D. McGhee, B. Terransky and M. Hoffait. In- cidentally, the donors of the jackets were the following interested Whit- by businessmen: Vigor Oil, Carr's Sunoco, Ron 'Agg, Strowger's Furn- iture, William Hurley, Herb Neal, Whitby Motors, Donald Motors, Herb Wilson and Sons, Bowman and Gibson, Hillcrest Dairy, F. J. struction and the Canadian Legian. Coronation Day A Civic Holiday In compliance with a resolution of Council passed on the 20th Ap ril, instructing the mayor to pro- claim Coronation Day, June 2nd. a civic holiday in the Town of Whitby, Mayor Harry Jermyn has issued his proclamation which ap- pears in The Times-Gazette today. It is not known yet if places of business in the town will be closed that day. However, the Whitby Coronation Celebration Committee has prepared an elaborate program for that day, starting early in the forenoon and continuing until mid- night. The list of events appears in The Times-Gazette today and should be clipped out for reference.

STORM WINDOWS Whitby's heat wave brought down a number of storm windows, among them, the windows on a local manse. Reports have it that a local pastor was taking the storm windows down on Tuesday and found himself in something of a predicament when a huge win- dow got on one side of the ladder and he on the other side. At that moment - of frustration, William {Bow happened along and offered to assist in getting the window to | the ground intact. He had not ar- rived quite soon enough, the win- |dow slipped, shaving a patch on | Bill's right cheek. Mr. Bow.adds that this was the only casualty.

It might, however, be able to do something along the line of sup- plying labor. This decision was reached 'by {the Commission when a plan w tabled, prepared by a large elec- tric company, of the proposed lighting for the park. While no member of the Committee was on hand to tell the Commission just what it might be expected to do, | it was intimated by a member R. L. ROBERTSON News Editor PHONE 703 Complete Purchase Hydro Equipment that there had been a suggestion that transformers might be do- nated. The cost of the type that would be required for a lighting job of the type required for the park would be over $3,000, the Commission was informed. Mayor Jermyn said that while he was sympathetic to the new park scheme the Commission should be fully informed of the full details of the project and what jus, it was likely to cost before action of any kind to help could be taken. The secretary was instructed to write to William Hurley and in- form him of the Commission's de- cision. It was learned that the Committee plans the opening of park on Coronation Day.
