Mrs. Webster told council that any move to contract out is "irresponsible", would put 20 people out of work, and could even have a damaging effect on the morale of the 823 elderly people who live in the homes for the aged run by the. Region. Mrs. Webster, who has worked at Hillsdale Manor in Oshawa for the past 16 years suggested that many bed- ridden residents develop a personal relationship with the employees who collect the laundry, and this would be lost if the laundry service Budget (From Page 1) committee gets the approval of the council without major changes remains to be seen. However, according to- the report. by committee chair- man John Aker, there is probably nothing that can be chopped from the total, as the 'bare bones" budget means that the various departments of the Region will be hard pressed to main- tain the 1978 levels of ser- "vice. In addition to the 1979 operating budget, the council - will also consider a $7.8 million capital budget for general purpose programs with a debenture require- ment of $1.7 million.

She hinted that if the Region decided to go ahead with the study, the union would negotiate a clause into their contract next year to protect members against contracting out. She also claimed that in the long run it would be no cheaper for the Region to contract out, and that the present level of service by Region employees is more than adequate. Most members of council agreed with her, and during debate several councillors mentioned the fact that the . historical relationship between the Region and Local 132 has been a good one. The vote on the motion not 8 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., March 28, 1979 to undertake a study on the issue carried easily by a 22 to 4 margin. However, Uxbridge mayor Gary Harrema was oné of the four who voted against, stating that the Region has a responsibility to the tax- payers to save money where possible, and also that Durham Region should maintain the right to at least study the situation. Councillor Reg Rose of Scugog, a former chairman of the Social Services committee, and Scugog Mayor Jerry Taylor both voted in favour of scuttling any plans for a study. The Social Services Committee motion to under- -take the study of contracting out was made by Oshawa alderman Ed Kolodzie and Newcastle councillor Bill Clarke. That motion never came before council for ratification. Their motion apparently was passed at a social services committee meeting in which committee chairman John DeHart did not vote. TE When the' vote came up last week, Kolodzie told council it would be a "back- ward step." "I totally support unions," he said. "But when a union tells management it can't go ahead with a study, that is" bad for tax-payers morale." When the motion passed not to go ahead with any study, Kolodzie formally withdrew his motion that had been made in Social Services committee. Lakefront apartment A long-standing proposal for a 40-unit apartment building on the Lake Scugog waterfront looks like it is goming to life again. Doctors Bill Cohoon and Bob Allin, who have owned the 1.25 Acre parcel since 1971, told council Monday night that a report from a _consulting engineer says the waterfront property just to the north of the Conway Gardens Restaurant can be service with sanitary sewers Dr. Cohoon asked council to fulfill a Township obliga- tion to up-grade a public Police Report NO SUSPECTS: Police have no suspects in two apparently unrelated break-ins reported' Sunday, March 18. Two cottages, one "at William's Point and the other at Caesarea Beach, were entered sometime on the weekend. Police were notified of the incidents by the owners. Theft does not appear to be the reason for the break-ins. BREAK, ENTER AND THEFT Police were called to 312 Rosa Street, on Monday evening, March 20, after a neighbour noticed lights on in a house where the owners are away on vacation. Two citizens apprehended a suspect when he tried to 'leave through a basement window and held him until police arrived. Charged with break, enter and theft is John E. Hadley, 18, of 140 Bigelow Street in Port Perry.

One citizen had the chrome trim stripped from his car March 19, as it sat in his driveway overnight. Another rural resident had the brake lines on his truck cut. - Police say that the two incidents are- seemingly unrelated. FRAUD A charge of fraud is Sas being investigated by Police Constable Rick Olaisen. Troski's Bait Store in Port Perry accepted two cheques, in the amounts of $60.94 and $14.25, issued on the Bank of Nova Scotia in Bowmanville. Unfortunately, there is no branch of this bank in Bow- manville. A police spokesman said that they do have a suspect in connection with this charge. family Wh Trust 5 YEAR 10%/4 Annual Interest \ "oo Semi-Annually STANDARD TRUST COMPANY 5 YEAR Annual Interest" 9%% Semi-Annually 10/4 .
