"We are trying to come up with a solution that will bene- fit both Whitby and its envir- ons," he disclosed. "You have seen vital develop- ment in the area and you wiil see more in the future." "You have to. demand the type of mayor you can trust -- a type of man who will go ahead with the project of area development," Mr, Newman referred to the current industrial - commercial residential tax rate in the area and quoted the general feeling that it "was not what it should be."" He stated that the ratio was improving, and promised to move even further ahead in gaining commercial - industrial assessment to unburden the in- dividual taxpayer, He proposed the betterment of harbor facili- ties and the attraction of indus- try as a solution. He traced what he called "town apathy" to a_ situation wherein, he claimed, elected bodies were not 'pulling to- gether' and were ignorant of each other's activities. "We must reach a common understanding. I propose that meetings be held between these elected groups.' Councillor Newman assured he woul always be "impartial, avail- able at all times, and will give the leadership the town needs at this time.
