WHITBY FREE PRESS, Thursday, September 9th, 1971, Page 5 Not only is council's ready-made conclusion that 95% of those who re- plied to the latest municipal bulletin shouldwarrent its future continuation precipitous, it's deliberately shading a d a r k horse b I u e with a brush that drips blatantly of red paint. With more than a -little mathemati- cal wizardry, council passed along as information, in a breakdown of 74 re- turn data cards, that 48 replies, re- presenting a percentage -of 65 indica- ted the bulletin "very interesting", while22replies, representative of 30 per cent, found the bulletin "of some interest. " Four per cent, representing three r e p I i es were of "no opinion", while one brave soul ventured to tel I his representatives at the municipal build- ing that their bulletin was "of no int- erest" whatsoever to him. A more practical kind of mathema tics indicates that?4 rbeturns from the 7, 000 sen t out, i's a percentage f one, a far crY indeed from the healthy 95% coun.cil would have had -yo.u bel+ ieve at Tuesday night's council meet- ing. Perhaps the space allotted in "sug- geste d subjects for future bulletins colours a more real istic picture of the bulletin and its use for the taxpayer. "W ha t about the Bowling Green Sen ior Citizens Project - we h ave waited three years for a decent place to I ive ? , w as one such suggestion, question-form. Other interesting suggestions and questions were as follows: . M o r e a bout Town Hall1 and Pol ice Station. . What should we do about mistakes in Municipal Office? . Probable development - e. g. Thick- son Road Mal 1 , Court House and Pol ice Complex. . Space for a shor t commen t - e. g. The recreat ion building (Heydenshore) looks l ike something an engineer would d es ig n. Was an ar chi tect involved? Poor place for new multi-use Recrea- t ion Buil ding. . Summer working hours informatiôr before the summr is over. .Use of publ ic money for cons tr uc- tion that is n o t absolutely necessary is c a t e r ing to inflation - keep taxes down, go against high wages, and for- get about putting the Town and us in debt deeper and deeper. The incorporation of some of these suggestions, or direct answers to the p o i n ted questions asked, would not nece s s a r i ly solve the riddle - "why does council i ns ist on spending the tax dollars of an al ready burdened tax payer by repeating what has ai- ready been said in ail the newspapers within the municipality, and those com- ing in from ou ts ide municipalities, richly endowed with councillor-com-I ment?"- but might at least, spice the bulletin up.
