Nomore permits for home bui Ider Taking a hard stand (o ensure the quality of homes now being built in Newcastle council, Tue9day, decided rio more building permits would be issued to D'Angello Homes until they were satisfied the houses were being built to standard. Representing D'Angello Homes, Alan Berk told coun- cil the company had been refused building permits on the proposed construction of 16 buildings in Bowmanville, on Waverly Road, south of the Marianna development. H1e said the builders bad been rehtZsed permits because of problems tbey had eïncoun- tered witb the 10 homes now nearing completion. Some members of council feit that in lieu of a report submnitted by the town'sj building inspector Charles Warren listing some 20 faults Former hotel t owner dies ( oîuey AckerS, a well- known area hotel owner and a long time resident of, New- castle and Port Hope died in, on only 10 homes, built by D'Angello, no further con- struction should take place until these, problems were soived. Noting the report was submitted Friday, Coun. Ivan Hobbs said "there have been quite a number of abnormal- ities behind this operation" Coun. Don Wearn said Mr. Warren had been in contact with the builders on.several occasions through his staff, but there was some doubt that the problems brought to light were rectified. Noting that the complete plans for the D'Angello pro- ject involves a total of about 200 homes, haîf to be built by Marian4)a Construction, haif by D'Angelio, Mayor Garnet Rickard said, "I don't know how any group can make so many mistakes in only 10) bouses." Coun. Kirk Entwisle saw the D'Angello matter as part "of alargerproblem", with legal, ramifications which lhe wouid not outline in the open forum of a council meeting. 11e recommended the pro- blem be referred to' the finance, and legal committee, asý well as an order to the building inspector not to issue any more permits for the D'Angello project ... some- thing to which council agreed. Coun. Entwisle steadfastly refused to reveal what the larger problem was, even in the face of argument from Mr. Berk to the effect that any, farther delay in borne build- ing might mean the bankrupt- cy of D'Angello Homes. The town's finance commit- tee will meet today to discuss the matter as weli as an addendum to their agenda: the Oshawa General' Hospital Ackers, Con attended stnool Wednesday following a short. in that district and following illness.

Prepare r( industrailI Durham Region's director of economic development, Bob Nicol, is preparing four confidentiai reports specifi- cally pinpointing the region's industrial development pot- ential. The reports will be present- ed (o the planning and development committee 'be- fore going to council. Although the major input is coming from Mr. Nicol, the reports will require co-oper- ation from other regional departments. For that reason officiai responsibility for the information has been given to planning and development commissioner William McAdams. ivir. Nicol, has aIready presented two discussion pap- ers to the committee. The first, presented last month, was primariiy a statistical report of the deveiopment situation in the region bet- ween, January, when the region came into being, and April when Mr. Nicol, began working. The second -was prepared last week, and explained the need for a definite deveiop- ment policy, but did not make SII(>I'TShoR)ITS FROM TIE VUKON The Sourdough Thermnom eter was. invented by the trader Leroy ýMcQuesten, at the junction of Fortyrnile River and Yukon River in 1897. A bottle of quicksilver would freze at -40 degrees F, coal oul at -50 degrees F, and Jamaica ginger (an extract used for flavouring) would freeze at -60 degrees F, crystallized at -70 degrees F, and froze solid at -75 degrees F. This information has been scientifically confirmed.,' Durîng' the Klondike Gold Rush, men paid five dollars for an onion and fifteen dollars for a newspaper .tained with bacon grease to use as a substitute for window llass. A bottle of champagne at that time in Yukon cost sixty dollars. ,;*. & e a*eeue....0 Flood Waters Damage BaiI's MoiiiDam Flood waters last Wednes- day morning destroyed a portion of the Bali's Mill dam at Baltimore. The property is owned by the Ganaraska Conservation 'Authority and development was ta start.this summer on preparing the property as a park and a historical site in the area. The Authority has some work in' the park slated for this year but thîs may now have to be curtailed due to a possible expenditure of from $12,000 to $15,000 to restore the dam. Mr.- Ackers' wife Helen predeceased himn. Survivors include two sisters, Mrs. Arthur, Finley (Grace) of Sonya near Sunderland and Mrs. Milton Sharpe of WIll- iamns, several neices and a nephew.
