"And that's just literally to get your name on the ballot and do nothing,"be added. While he won't be a candidate, Ashe, who bas served as Durbam West's MPP since 1977, will be active in the campaign by lending his support to a yet to be declared candidate. The end of the Davis era will see the provin- cial Tory shift itself slightly to the rigbt 0f the political spectrum. However, Ashe expec- ts that the shift will fot be that great and will stiil leave the party in the political centre. "The spectrum is fairly wide," be says, "If you consider us to be slightly left of centre, as we have been, then we easily. The Tories have beld onto government, Ashe contends, because they have'not only been suc- cessful in finding the political centre but haven't been dogmatic either. He notes that many of the,, programs in- troduced in the last five years wouldn't have been thougbt of 30 years ago. III think the party bas been 'fairly reflective of the people of Ontario," Ashe said, "'They have representative of the people that put them in office." The miniÉter has also said that he will oppose the recruiting of "in- stant Tories" in the delegate selection process and will fight to prevent some of the un- savory incidents that A big plus for the town of Whitby Make town responsible for clearing sidewalks: Attersley Mayor Bob Atterlsey has suggested that the Town of Wbitby- assume responsibiity for clearing ail sidewaiks in the municipality of Sflow during the winter mon- ths. Attersley made, the suggestion at last week's meeting of coun- cil's operations commit- tee in response, to a report prepared by public works director Dick Kuwabara. -Under the present system, every homeowner of the town is required to clear the sidewalk inî front of his home of snow within 24 hours of a fali. If that is notý done, then the town will give the homeowner a further 24 hours to do s0 and if it is stili not done, then the town wil do it. HoWever, the- town will-, charge the bomeowner 80-cents per -foot cleared.. For, a bouse'ý witb a 50-foot frontage the charge, would be $40, which if, unpaid wilI be added to the property tax bill. It is Attersiey's con- tention that the town could rid itself of a public, relations beadache and create some employment if tbe town undertook the task. "Plow every sidewaik in the Town of Whitby," be said, "Then we don't have a problemn."'> In order for the town to do the job, Kuwahara says bis -department would need two -more bombardiers. In b is 1 reportý, ;hé ciaimed that the,- department's two bombardiers take nine to 12 hours to clear ap- proximateiy 40 kilometi-es of sidewalks. The town currently clears sidewalks in the downtown -core and, ohr predominently commercial areas.- Each of these machines' cost' a'p- proximately -,$38000, to buy and have a life span of five years. The town depreciates al of its' equipment and puts the money aside to replace it. The bombardiers would be handied in the same manner. Attersley believes that the cost 0f operating the machines migbt be funded from a federal employment program. "This could ho a big plus for Whitby," the mayor said. The, committee in-, structed Kuwahara to* bring forward a reportý outlining the means and costs 0f implementing Attersley's suggestion.
