R. Dodd which | could result in Whitby getting a | new fire hall, The council, Dodd, will ask the town solicitor | to make application for an inter- pretation of the Allin will and request that this money be used | for renovations of the town hall and the construction of a | new fire hall. Whitby residents | will recall that the town is in| receipt of a bequest amounting to | $114,485.21 which has been inter-| preted as being for a new town | hall. Councillor Dodd introduced the | subject by stating that he had | often been asked 'What has hap- | pened to the money in the Allin | Estate?"He said that ht could not | blame people for wondering since | the matter of spending the money had been shoved around the council for 'a number of years. He sug-| gested that this money be used for a new fire hall to the east of the town hall and the remainder | of the estate be used to modernize the present town hall. He made this a motion. . MAYOR APPROVES Mayor Harry Jermyn added his | voice to this suggestion and | pointed out that this week's coun- cil meeting was held in the clerk's | office because of a failure in the | lighting in the council chambers. | He maintained that if the interior of the town hall were renovated | and the outside "dressed up," the | present building would do for | ancther 50 years. Councillor Dodd | ted out that the present fire could be used for town hall purposes and added that fire trucks would not be dashing out onto the main street from the fire hall. Reeve Duncan McIntyre stated that rumors had got out that the | Allin estate might be used to build a new rink or to pay Whitby's share of the new district high school, He suggested that if the town were to take steps to get an inter- pretation of the will, that it be stated whether this money cculd be used for any municipal purpose. Town Clerk John R. Frost then read part of the Allin will stating equest that the money was to be used for the construction of a new Wi e | also read a letter stating that the fol- | public Trustee did not Devessa ily Jowi! jon by Councillor |feel that the will meant exactly Ns noo y Therefore council members approved the moticn to have town solicitor T.

Trees, well known local manufacturer and highly regarded citizen, has donated a valuable block of land for the proposed new artifficial ice arena, has given great impetus to the campaign, now in progress, to raise $100,000, with $30,000 already pledged. The land given by Mr. Trees has a frontage of 1621; feet on Green Street and 136 feet on Ontario Street, making approximately a quarter of a block. Furthermore, Mr. Trees has ganted the use of the property to the west of the pres- ent Kinsmen arena as long as he owns it, for parking pur- poses. This magnificent gift by Mr. Trees practically determines the site of the new arena, about which many have been asking, and no better site could be chosen, partiou- larly because of the fact that more room is now available, also the fact that a rink has been in that loca- jon for well over half a century at east, LIKE SHOT IN ARM "It's just like a shot in the arm," a member of the Board said when he learned of the land gift. "Mr. Trees' thoughtfulness and generos- ity should ensure ultimate success for the campaign and Whitby should have a modern arena before many months have passed," he added, .
