"lIt's not a good deal," commented Mayor Bob Attersley of Whltby. The Oshiawa offer provides an Incentive of $3 million plus ail necessary lands.

The $3 million ls composed of $2-mlilon Oshawa dlaims la Ils share in the present regional headquarters on Rossland Rd. plus $1- million in rentai arrears Oshiawa dlaims it la owed. "It would fulfillail present and future needs at less cost than operatlng out of the exlstlng facfllty," said Oshawa Mayor Allan Pilkey at a . news conférence last Tuesday afternoon. The proposed site for the new location, tentatively known as the Durham Regional Center, la at Mary -and Bond St. on nine acres of land the City of Oshawa recelved i a land swap with General Motors. Pilkey said Oshawa takes possession of the land la February of 1987 and development on the land can, start immediately. But Whitby's regional councillors want the legal maLter of Oshawa's ownership la -tlie building settled before any proposals are made to the region. "The majority of regional council believe Oshawa does not liave a liold on tlie building and until that is settled we can't address the submlssion," said Attersley. Attersley said lie sees two problems witli the proposai by Pilkev. "Parking wvlll be a problem and the two smoke stacks located behlnd the site wli neyer be- removed,"' said Atteisley. Wlien the region la ready to listen to submlssions Attersley la ready wlth one for Whltby. He said lielias Wao developers who are willing to donate 12 acres of land just north of the present location whlch would more than- satlsfy the future needa of the region. "«IChe land would be donated free of charge," said the mayor. Regional councillor Tom Edwards said the Oshawa proposai was "iengagingiln bribery."I He said he wa s not taking the offer very seriougly and called Mayor Pilkey's handllng of the proposai "«engaging in one upmanship." Regional coundillor Gerry Emm also agreed tliat Plkey should have waited until the legal question was answered. He alsoquestioned the parking situation and asked who wouid psy for a garage If it had to be built. Ail tlree agreed the building should remain in Whitby, wliere the regional headquarters lias remained for over 10years. "I'm not golng to let it go frori Whitby easy," commented Emm. Crossing guards rejected Wbitby council has upheld an operations committee recommen- dation to turn down a request by tlie Durham Region Roman Catliolic Separate Scliool Board for il adult crossing guards at various locations in the town.

He said the guards wouid be an expense Lo the town and would transfer the safety of the cliildren from the board to the town. The board was requesting the ad- ditional crossing guards because iL is revlalag its bussing scliedules. Tlie guards would ha needed at Intersections where clildren who were previously bussed to school, would now be crossing.' Council refused the request unanimously. I-J Màv,
