4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, January 6 1854 + WO BRIGHT, HAPPY CHILDREN | parents, are the bright children Susan Elizabeth. Reed, who will be four years old next month, and John Douglas Reed, who was one year old January 8 and the first baby born in 1953 to Whitby of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Reed, of Whitby, and grandchildren of Mr, and Mrs. R. B. Reed and Mr. and Mrs. A. Archibald, of Whitby. Council Will Reconsider Rentals Of Town Hall Whitby's town property commit-, tee has been asked to reconsider the rental scale set by the last meeting of the 1953 council. At that meeting in December, rentals for the town hall auditorium and the council chambers were increased At this week's meeting of the 1954 council, protests were raised by several bodies which use these fa- cilities that the new rates were beyond reason. As a result of their leas, the whole matter of rentals been returned to the property committee for further study. Rev. Mr. Corbett, pastor of Faith Baptist Church, which, being with- out a building, uses the council chambers weekly as a meeting lace, was the spokesman for the Dah Club, the Duplicate Bridge Club, in fact all bodies using the hall and of course his own church. Mr. Corbett stated that it was re- cognized by all who use the facili- ties there that the new rents were in excess of what might be expect- ed because of the renovations made in 1958. The council chambers, he said, is a community building where bodies can meet at a reason- able rate and "to raise the rates too Huck would destroy these 8." In very few cases, he continued, is money-raising a prime objective of those using the town's building. In the came of his own church, he said, the new rate of $15 and $18 on Sunday meant an increase of over 1600 per cent. In the case of those using the hall on week days, it meant an increase of 600 to 800 per cent. NOT FINAL FIGURES Mayor Harry Jrmyn stated that the figures agreed upon at the peevious meeting of the council wawe not necessarily the final fig- wes. He pointed out that a by-law would have to be accepted by the council before the new rates could come into effect. He also stated that when the Sunday rates were being discussed, it had been point- ed out that the caretaker of the hall was forced to work on Sunday and would expect some extra re- muneration for this extra work. 'What would you set the rent of this hall at?" he asked Mr. Corbett. "If I were a business man want- ing to make a profit, I would set the rate at about $20," replied Mr. Corbett. Councillor Everett Quantrill, last year's chairman of the property committee, pointed out that renova- tions and new chairs had last year {cost the town about $4,000. | This amount, continued His Wor- ship, represents about one mill on the Whitby tax-rate. The Faith Baptist Church, he explained, had been renting the hall for $2 per Sunday, an amount, claimed Mr. Jermyn, which would not pay the caretaker of the church. Mr. Corbett stated that he felt that it would be very reasonable of the coundil to doible the form- er rate and even add some to that total. He also stated that his church members would be pleased to handle the janitoring services on Sunday in order that the caretaker might be able to take that day off. He claimed that rental of the coun- cil chambers should not exceed $10 per Sunday. Then he added jok- ingly? that if the town insisted on these exhorbitant rentals, the Faith Baptist Church might build a church and the town would thereby lose the taxes it had been collect- ing on the lot which has been set aside for the church site. "I know the council has no. idea of putting anyone out of business," said Mayor Mermyn, "but I know Whitby Township Seeks Fire Agreement With Town A deputation from the council of the Township of Whitby has met | the council of the town of Whitby ! seeking an agreement whereby the Whitby Volunteer Fire Brigade will | serve a portion of the township. At the first meeting of the Whitby Council, three members of the Whitby Township Council sat in with the Fire Committee to discuss | terms of an agreement. The mat- | ter has been turned over to Whitby by Township Council for further! study. Reeve Heber Down, Deputy-! Reeve Morley Ross and Councillor William Heron appeared before | council. Chairman of the Whitby | fire committee, Councillor Oscar | Moore, presided over the commit- | tee meeting. The township council is seeking fire protection in that area of Whitby Township south of | the third concession, running from ! the Whithy-Pickering Town Line! east to Gerrard Road, at the west- ern limits of the Rity of Oshawa. In negotiations earlier, the town had offered to make its services available for $900 per year, $50 per fire and $15 per hour for each hour the equipment was in use. The township felt that this rate was a little steep since there had not been a fire in this section of the township in two years and not more than seven fires in that area in as many years. A proposal was made that the township might pay the town one mill on the assess- ment of she area to be serviced for fire protection. It was pointed out that it costs the ratepayers of the town one mill on their assessment to provide fire services outside the costs of water This proposal will be taken back to the Whitby Township Council for consideration. It was not definitely known what this would cost the township. i |eon yesterday in Hotel Royal. ] WHITBY DAY BY DAY Accounts of social events and news items of local interest and ames of visitors are ap preciated.

Speak- ing as a public school trustee Mr. Munns referred to some of the comic books available to children today that to say the least, were not desirable. Every parent, he said, should see what comics his boy or girl reads because of the influence these have on the lives of children.
