Pinker study on Brooklirî growth wili be held in January, says Mayor Jim Gartshore. Originally scheduled for Decernber, it was cancelled on account of recent heavy snowstorIfl. Mayor Gartshore says the meeting will be held as early as possible in ianuary, at the municipal building on Ross- land Road. H-e said the meet- ing. is being held there be- cause the matter is as im- portant to the peuple of southern Whitby as it is to Brooklin residents- Public meetings have ai- ready brought out much com- ment about the supplying of sewers to Brooklin. Con- solidated Building Corpora- tion ,which owns about 1,800 acres around Brooklin, has offered to help finance tHie construction of a trunk line to Brookiin- Other large landholders in the area are Markborough Properties and Ontario Hous- ing Corporation. THE CM.,'--N Whitby seils harbourland to Federal Govt. for $1. decided to seli some of its iand at the north end of the- harbor to the federal govern- ment for $1 so that federal fuinds can be obtained to start harbor developmnent. According to- Develop- ment Co-ordînator Forbes McEwen, the lands are re- quired to permit the expen- diture of federal funds on .the propcrty. Whitby will lease back the property of $100 a year and eventually use it as a water- front park, council decided recently. The federal govern- ment has already pledged $500,000 forharbor dredging, of which $250,000 was com- mitted in October. Dredging is expected to begin early in 1978. The Town plans to also, lots along the north and west sides of the harbor for $100 a year. Mr. McEwen said the dredged material wilI be de- posited on the western shore after the top soil is removed, and the soil will be spread over the dredged miaterial to dry sufficiently, said Mr. McEwen. - ' During the dredging the area where the mnateriai will be deposited wiil be ftncedý off fromn the public, he said. Although the sale of some of the harbor lands is required to get fedelral assistance, Mr. McEwen said the lease back by the town wili have a claum giving Whitby re-purchase rights for the land if it is not. used for harbor purposes- The icase would extend up to 20 years. oAaILEYIA HRMC Wish te Annouce that The Wnner of Dur Came-ra Qraw .was H.
