Page 1 0, Thursday, February 24th, 1 97/2, MU.NICIPAL Continued froni page 9 has therefore broadened the o'utlook of c o mm u n ity services such as the town p oli c e. Whi le through this expansion~ c r i me rate hasn't Increased, the nec- essityof police facil-ities has. With the implementation of regional government i n the area the necessity of a regional pollIce headquarters wi11 also arise,. and i t is my gu ess that Whitby wil11not be the centre ot the region. Yes, we cert- a i nily need mare adequate pol ice facil1- iMes, but I wauld say the Whitby Citiz- ens Gr oup's concerns wouid be weil f ou nded if W hit by Council1 intends ta p roc eed with something pretty ambit- ious at this particular time. Unfartun- atel y, I feel that of late this tawn has m a de a l ot o f noise, but has actual ly done very little, and in my estimation t h i s ear marks us ta become a part of O sh awa upon implementation of a reg- i a nal1 government. 1It m ight nat be what wewant, but'1mafraid itis in the books. I t 1 s samewhat like the boy who wanted tao gr ow ta be 5 feet tal , and al1 of a su d den f inds himsel f 7 feet tal1. What can he do about i t?Il WHITBY FREE PRESS Harold Eaton, Bank Mgr. 1I f the municipal and police headquar- te rs arentt adequate - why ail the way ou t ta Ros sl1and Road? Surely they (c oun cil1) can find an al ternat ive l oc- ation which would be dloser ta the town co re. 1If th i s. is the kind of question p o s ed by the group, f ine. Has council1 1looked in toevery possi1bil1ity for a more conven lent location for the taxpayer ? As far as the study group's committee now studying the iridebtedness of the munic- ipalîity, let them have a look at the ann- ual statement. Il Joe Ottenbrite, President Merchant's Association 11I cer ta inly like the aspect of citizen p a rticip a tion in the Study Group. If more of us were in the know and atten- ded council sessions, would there be sudden decis ions, such as the decision made on Heydenshore? A more practi- cal alternative to building up on Ross- 1 and Road in my viewpoint, is ta buiid, or expand where they are now. For exampl e, if they followed along the lines of the present architecture of the town hall as it exists naw, why cauldn't they buiId up to8 star ies? Another pas- s i bili t y I wonder about isthe one of taking the existing police garage off and buildingatawer in that ar.ea. With pal- mJ~.== ice facilI ties there, an'dwith the i ibrary an, the bottom floor, the upper stories cou I d be uti1i zed for council1 chamber s t a ff and o f f ic e departmental space. T he y Iv ordered the aeri1ai fi1re truck now, letts give them something taý use i t for. Building dloser ta, the fire hall to, have police and fire services dloser i s a n ot h er dea with possibi lities. i h a ven 1t heard of another cen tre wi1th m u ni1cipal facili1ties being-considered s5o f ar fram. the reach of its citizens. B u i I d i n g dloser ta the downtown is a good start for urban renewal ."I Ed McCaughtree, Supervisor Psychiatric Centre "Number one, I feel this ent'ire proposai' is costing too much'money. Does a town this size warrant the dollars about ta be poured into this specific proposaI? Secandîy, whols gaing to go out there? (Rassi and Rd. ) These structures should decidediy be placed in locations of mare canvenience ta, the pedestrain and tax- payer, Il Bruce Affîeck Crown Attomney t"There is 1littie doubt of the desperate n e e d of nm o r e adequate pol ice space, and this handicap canstitutes a detri- ment not only tathepolicebut to the commun ity. As anecessity for some ti!me, mare room for the Whitby Pol- i ce uni1t 1is in close rapport with the wel1fare ofthe community.. For this reason, I can see any delay on pro- ce eding wi th the police structure as a d i s a d v a n tage ta the tawn. How ever , I m u st say that th is new group shoul1d b e c ommended for the foresight shown in th e ir p r eoccupation with regional jgov ernment, which we ail1 know is im- minent.
