Lynde Housedeciston delayed until alter Novemberelecthnf By JAN DODGE Free Press Staff A motion of con- ditional support for the Whitby Historical Society's (W.H.S.) proposed relocation of Lynde House was put off until after the municipal election by a 5-4 vote by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC). The motion - put for- ward by Graham Field - intended support for the move "oniy after al other avenues have been fully explored and the move is deman- strated conclusively ta be economicaily well- founded. " The motion also dealt with the architectural and historical significance of the original site and with the designation of Lynde House under the Ontario Heritage Act. After a heated discussion on Field's motion, Michael Knell moved the motion be tabled until after the municipal election. He also suggested that the committee wait for a report from the ad- Just 0 ar e iO . .. ...... * t osfle iheeyJy * ee Pebe akeWr * esvinc il 6 to tW ib 666951 ministrator and for mare information from the Durham branch of the Architectural and Conservancy of Ontario (ACO) and the W.-H.-S. Field defended his motion quating from such publications as In- ternational Monuments and Sites that &.relocating and dismantiing should be employed as a Iast resort. " Joe Drumm, east ward councillor, sup- ported by Marcel Brunelle, centre ward October... councillor, and Knel argued that the motion was outside the man- date of the LACAC. Field maintained that it was within the man- date and that it was similar ta an August motion made by Knell, which LACAC had passed (and later rescinded) in support of the proposaI by the W.H.S. ta move Lynde House/ ta Cullen Gar- dens.

Winter added that only when the society made its recammen- dations would it be ap- propriate ta comment. Terry McNaughton said, "I don't see the motion (Field's) as having undue influence on W.H.S., but how we as an independent body see it.

Votes against were made by Robin Chance, Graham Field, Vers Hugel, and Terry McNaughton. The meeting was chaired by Vera Hugel. Whitby councillors wrestle with 3rd seat By SUSAN LES.JAK Free Press Staff Whitby ani Ajax have been fighting for an ex- tra seat on regional council for a long time, but now that it looks like they'll get one, sen- timents are mixed. While local coun- cillors applaud the provinces decision, they say the timing could nat be worse. Ontaria's minister of municipal affairs, Bf nard Grandmaitre arý nounced only after the close of nominations for the Nov. 12 election that the bill was pending in parliament. As the legisiation will not receive final reading until at least December, its timing precludes Ohe direct election of the new councillors until the following municipa election in 1988.

Concern Ã"ver the provinces hzIndling of the matter, has led Whitby council to pass a motion pastponing the addition of a regional council seat until the 1988 election.

At this week's council meeting, Bugelli in- troduced a motion ta disregard the provinces instructions and ap- point. instead. one of the town's four ward coun- cillors ta sit on bath regional and local coun- cil until the additionai seat can praperly be filied. North Ward councillor Ross Batten supported the proposaI. "The timning of the statement does not give those on local council or others in town a chance ta react, - he said. As the addition of another regional coun- cillor would increase the numnber of council seats from 7 tn 8. the legislation would require substantial structural changes.

The issue was viewed somewhat differently, hawever, by regional councillors Tom Ed- wards and Gerry Emm. The two are currently engaged in what many predict will be the toughest race of the up- comîng election. Their seats are being con- tested by former Whitby mayor Jim Gartshore.
