Newcastle only pays 12 per- cent," he told the finance The report in question lists ail the assets of the former united counties., Because most of the former county of Durham is now part of the region of Durham', some of those assets .will belong to the region. *But the region will have to pay Northumberland $247,904 for them. The only way to get out of paying, pointed out Coun. Rickard, is to appeal but the last day of appeal is next Tuesday, August. 27. 1More than haîf the money the region will pay is for a building in Bowmanville list- ed as being worth $150,000.

There are now 153 people on the waiting list at 'Hillsdale Manor, Doug Johns social services commissioner said. "There's no question about it. I would seriously recom- mend consideration be given to a new' home or an extension," said Mr. Johns. No home should be larger than 250 beds, he added. With more beds, the personal touch is lost, and the difference in cost of a 250 bed home and a 450 bed home is not much different, he explained. Region chairman Walter' Beath said council can't wait until the day bones are needed before making a decision. He urged the matter be brought before region council before long. URGED IN 1972 Two years ago, Mr. Johns submitted a report to Oshawa city council that between 125 and 150beds would be needed in the city by 1976. Mr. Johns recommended the new home be constructed in the east of the city to enable elderly from Newcastle or Bowmanville to take advantages of the faciit- les. Office. Durham Region also had to pay $100,000 for the garage north of the Village of Orono. The Mayor stated that ail the heavy equipment formerly used by the United Counties was flot listed in the report nor was fifty acres, of land adjacent to the Golden Plough Lodge in Cobourg. "I have real reservations on this report," he said. The burgeoning populationi in nforth Oshawa's "apart- ment country" would stili be handled by Hillsdale Manor. Most aspects of the report are still applicable, he noted. With the advent of regional government on Jan. 1, 1974, the region's three homes for the aged - Hillsdale Manor, Fairview Lodge in Whitby and Lakeview Manor In Beaver- ton - were turned over to the region. "'MAKES SENSE"I Counc. Ken Lyall said that for ail practical purposes Oshawa and Newcastle are pretty weIl one and the same comm unities. Placing the home in the east of Oshawa would make sense, lie explain, ed. A motion by Carl Puter- bougli <Uxbridge) that Mr. Johns make a detailed report on where and what to build was carried by the commit-' tee. Durham town st411 fighting The Town of Durham still fights on to retain its names, Durham, exclusively. At a special meeting of, the provin- cial cabinet in Hanover last week the Town again submit- ted its rejection of the Region of Durham using the name Durham." The council of the Town of Durham also blasted ità sitting member for allow- ing his colleagues to approve another Durham. George Ashe of the Region of Durham has said that The Town's 'councils'approach is ridiculous and that in fact they had stolen the name from the old County of Durham. The Grey County Durham" bas had its name for more than 100 years, while the regional government Durham was named, in 1973. A long court battle in which the town dlaims the region had no right tô use the name, has yet to be resolved. S"The, town of Durbamcan oniy conclude that its position bas not been properiy put before the legisiature by its eiected representative,1" the council brief said. Counilflors from the town of 2,600 said there is more at stake than the fume.
