WITBY FREE PRlESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1988, PAGE 9 Region doesn 't support reimbursement for- supermalboxes By a vote of 16 to 11, regional council bas decided not to endorse a resolution by Hamilton- Wentwortbh calling for the federal government to, reimburse municipalities for the bass of tex revenue due fo supermailboxes. Following a recent Ontario Municpal Board hearing, * municipalities are' being informed that any properties abuttinig a supermailbox will -receive a five per cent tex reduction. Last week, Whitby- council approved a motion asIng for the The Whitby Youth Band will be performing in concerts and holding a bottle drive as it approaches the grand finale to its two-year program. On'June 28, the band, under the direction of Bruce Court, will be one of only three groups to rýepresent Canada in competition in Britain. Total cost of the trip is about $70,000 for the 50 members,.as compared to,$25,000 for partici- reimbursement. That motion was passed- by a 5-1 count at Whitby council. Mayor Bob Attersleyý was absent from that meeting. But at regional counicil last Wednesday, Attersley led the opposition against the resolution. He said the tax loss will mean no more than $600 to the ýTown of Whitby.

Each member will pay about $1,100 for the trip to Britain, says Court. To help offset costs, fundraising events continue, including a bottle drive planned for May 7 in Whitby. On May 4, the band will perform along with Anderson CVI's Jazz Inc. at the "Spring Concert"* at Pingle Creek public school, 7:30 p.m. T'ickets will be "We spent more than $600 in stamps iný Whitby. I am not prepared to support this," said Attersley. *But fellow Whitby regional councillor, Tomn Edwards, who favored the motion at WhitbY council, said support at the Region level is simply saying. "there are measures of inequity in the mail system." "If my greatest burden in life is walking 300 feet, I can handlle that," replied Oshawa regional councillor John Aker who voted against.the Hamilton resolution., $3 for adults, $2 for students and seniors.
