"If the Town of* Wlitby is to() cheap, l'il grade the road myseît' and figit thc City Lter," prom ised Roll' Rueken, rumored tu bc une ut* Whitby's nios iîghily as- scssed taxpaycrs. So at 10 o'clock Monday mornirîg Mu. Rueken, wlîo owns a contracting tirn in Scarborough Iiad bis owfl bull- dozer and grader at work put- ting Coronation Ruad into passable condition. And il' Roeken's insistence on charges is successful, the Town ut' Wliiîby could be f'ooting the bill for this enterprising pro- ject. Before "taking things into bis own hands", the cuntrac- tor, wîîo resides in a $300,000 homec on the multi-potholed road, sent a terse telgram 10o town a thers, infurming t hein legal action would suon be impending il' the road was nul repaired immiediately. Afier a ttenîpiing cou ncit support t'or the road's recon- struction for two years, Rue- ken appears to have corne lu the end of bis tether when aniother Whitby resident sat befure council four three and a haîf hou us last Monday night with nu resuits. (Council had began open debate uof the road issue but adjourned at I11 :30 without rnaking a de- cision because a unanirnous vote to Coi quired). ntinue wasre- Mr. Rueken expla.incd that Coronation Road is in such poor condition that the mail- man, inilkînan and school bus- es flatly refused last week to corne in to bis,$3 00,000 homne. The residents of 1 2 homesbeîween the 4th and Stlh concession, west of high- way I12 are also unable to get mail, school buses or emer- gency vehicles when neces- sary, he said. Wel, 1 have the financial resources tu fight this thing while others haven't. I'm do- ing it at my own expense and l'il fight the city to get it back later, he warned. QUEEN'S.
