Judge reserves Durham decision The 2,,500 residents of Dur- ham want to end the conf usion between their town and the new regional municîpaiity, just east of Toronto, which' bears the same name, a lawyer told an Ontario Sup- reme Court hearing Thursday The town is about 100 miles northwest of Durham region, which came into being OCt- ober l5th by an act of the provinc e. The act specified the name voters had selected out of four proposed wheu they chose their council. Since then mail and tele- phone cails have been dis-dir- ected, an express cartage company is running into trouble for the first time in eight years, and goods and requests for professional ser- vices are> being sent to the wrong people, Michael TemÏ- ple, lawyer for the town told Mr. Justice Alexander Stark. Even the provincial minis- try which helped create the region can't always teli the differeuce ho said. A letter was sent to Durhamu Mayor Kenneth Macdonald fromn the planning branch of the ministry of treasury, economics, and intergovern- mental affairs concerniug a subdivision plan in the other municipality. WANTS NAME CHANGE In a motion filed under the Corporations Act, the town asked for a, ruling requiring a name change for theregion. But after hearing argu- ments for both sides, the judge 'reserved his' decision until written submissions on the law governing coniflicting acts of the legisiature are examined. Deadline for writ- ten submissions is Jan. 27, 1974. The court's decision will follow. Ross Lundy, council repre- sentiug the province. said Section 13, subsection 3 of the Act, under whîch the motion was filed, could not apply because the region's name was established by a specific act and not under the general Corporations Act. He cited one case in which a juge ruled that "provisions of a general act do not override those -of a special act in the event of a conflict."' Both parties made referen- ce to historical signif igance of the naine in their areas. The town of Durham, Mr. Temple said, was wstablished in 1842 and incorporated by the province in 1872. Durhamn Couuty, one of three counties amalgamated in the new region, was proclaimed in 1792. In a letter to Mayor Oxford BRICKLAYERS STONEMASONS WILLIE J.
