WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18,1989, PAGE 25 Bylaw on refreshment vehicles An amendment to Whitby's licensing bylaw has been appro- ved by council to better imple- ment regulations for refreshment vehicles. Council's action came about as a result of a general conern that the current regulations do not provide "adequate» controls of the many such vehicles operating in the town.

The Region waste committee last week dumped the responsi- bility right back into Metro's lap. Jack Massie, manager of custo- dial services with the school board, asked committee to help alleviate the escalating dumping fees. fDumping fees have gone from $16,e tone three years ago to $83, Hads le said that there were indications that rates were again on the rise. In 1986 the board paid $95,000 for garbage collection. The cost is now $200,000 and will rise to an estimated $300,000 next year, according to Massie. The Dur- ham board notes that Metro school boards receive free gar- bage disposal. But a report from works com- missioner Bill Twelvetrees states that an amendment is in the works, Bill 53, that will see user fees charged to Metro school boards. A report from the Durham Board of Education shows that, currently within Durham Region, there is a rebate of $28.36 per tonne for all residential garbage. However, the school board is classed as commercial and resi- dential, and receives no rebate. Region waste committee mem- bers pointed out that the Region Obituary HUGH R. MILLER Hugh R.
