"The top o' the morning to ya ", and I hope you have the luck of the Irish today!1 With spring just around the corner, bopefully, it will certainly be niee to see the green grass again. I hope this year we will'not be burdened with flooding and that the snow will meit gradually. A propos flooding.. At present the, planning committee bas before it the first place of a subdivision north of Rossland Road. In an effort to ensure that the storm waters fromi this subdivision have no adverse effects on the people residing to the south of Rossland Road, it is, planned that provision is made for storm water retention ponds;ý These retention ponds are designed s0 that they can receive and store w4ter from storms, snow-melts or just plain beavy rains of excess duration. At the point of accumulation of a large volume of water, the water level in the pond will build up and be retained until such time that there is available flow in the stormsewer system to take it away. At that time the excess water will run iestgating ail possible solutions but-reêsuits to date infortunately are flot very encouraging. Our. em- )loyees are generally very conscientious and they ,ertainly try their utmost to keep the spil-over onto riveways to a bare minimnum. I would be remiss if did not publicly commend our work crews for their lication and responsibie attitude at a time when hey were needed most to keep our roads safe.

Coinmleended By COUNCILLOR JOE BUGELLI West Ward Chairman, Operations Committee Since my last colurnn there have been a numfber of developments and issues dealt with by this coun- cil. 0f most direct effect..and closest to everyone's. heart of course, is the effeict of our budget. Most are now aware that the final budget as ap- proved represents a 4.5 per cent overaîl increase' over 1981. What should be emphasized is thatyour taxhili is, made up of tbree separate components -7 the Town of Whitby's, the Region'0f Durham's and the Board of Education's, We as a council only bave jurisdiction over the town's portion and-so it should be remembered Ithat the final tax increase is going to depend heavily on wbat the Region and the Board of Education do with their respective budgets. Since collectively these two bodies make up more than 65 per cent of your total tax. bill, we can only hope that they will follow -our example 'and apply the necessary constraints ini order to minimize the over- ail impact on our local residents and taxpayers. Even with this relatively small percentage ini- crease, we have still been able to address a number of major deficiencies and allocated funds in order to improve and correct a substantial number of them. In many areas 0f' the town for example, especially Brooklin and some of the older parts, there is a marked deficiency. in street ligbting. Althougb this fact was recognized some eight years ago, whatever little funds were put. aside towards this over. the years bas been rapidiy eaten up.by inflationary fac- tors. We have now embarked on an escalated program that will start showing some visible differ- ence in the next year.' As chairman of public works (wbich representse
