It lias a contract value of $461,000 of which the M.T.C. is paying $295,000 and the Town of Whitby is paying $86,000. "The reconstruction 0f Brock will benefit homeowners with property along the street as well," said Emm who explained that the better road leading past their homes their property values would in- Reduced rates for students Details for a reduction in students bus rates is now being looked et by the operations cornmittee, said commlttee chairman Gerry Emm. The move cornes as a result of the Durharn Board of Educations discon- tinuation of bus services for high school students south of Rossland Road corne Sep- tember. The boards decision will affect between 200 and 300 students of Henry Street High Sehool and Anderson Collegiate. If the reduced fares are not low enough to attract student use of the Whitby Transit system, rates may have to be cut even lower corne September or mid- October, said Emm. At the current fare of 50 cents, for adults and studen- ts, a family with three high school students would pay a bill of close to $60. a month for the bus rides to and frorn school. Emrn admitted that the end of board transportation would not only be costly for the student but incon- venient. "We just have our regular routes, where as the school buses took them right to their door. " The town lias changed some parts of t.he west side route to bring service dloser to Henry Street High School . The discontinuation of bus services by the board of High School students is already in affect in Oshawa and Ajax. The new routes for the Whitby bus system will be in place by September 2 to coincide with the students return to classes, siad public works director Dick Kuwahara. One of the changes wilI place a bus stop in front of Henry Street High. Changes in the signs marking four routes will take the public works departnient about one week to complete. The changing of the routes will affect the arrivai times of the different buses but, said Kuwahara, there will still be one going past any given point each hour. Kuwahara said that rider- ship on the fledging service is still pretty 10w but he at- tributes that to the sumrner:- time. lHe is confident that the figures will pick up ini fal with the students. Regional officer found dead on lawn A 26-year-old DJurharn Regional Police constable was found dead early Friday rnorning on the Iawn of a Garden Street home after he apparently lost control of the motorcycle he was riding. Paul Henry was found dead et 7 a.rn. by the owner of the house just north of Rossland Road, said Police Chief Jon Jenkins. Jenkins said the accident happened somnetirne after rnidnight when Henry lef t work at the criminel in- vestigation bureau in Oshawa. Police are trying to trace Henry's movements from the tirne he left work until the time of the accident. Henry had just left Whitby and rnoved to the Oshawa detachnient three months ago and was living with another police constable on Wilson Road in Oshawa at the time of the accident. He is survived by his crease. It's good to see the town get fixed up. It always helpt to have a good outward ap- pearance and good transpor- tation facilities when prospective investors corne to look et Whitby! 1 Emrn said that the recon- struction of Brock will also benefit drivers. Highway 12 conects with Brock St. and heavy trucks and farm equipment have a safer, wider road to drive into town along. - The widening of the road and the completion of the subway at the C.P.R. lines also helps tt) keep traffic congestion at a minimum. Emrn said that with this project almost complete the town is now looking to reconstruct bridges on Rossland Road west, Gar- den Street and Brock Street south. From there Emm would like to see Brock street fixed up from Highway 401 to the. lake. "We want to see the Port Whitby area really upgraded with this work done. " 0f the $6,711,000 total bill the town of Whitby had to pay out a total of $791,000. The M.T.C. paid a total of $2,950,000. rJQ0A NN ESJ7owet-i& Çitt-i u 10% Discount With This AdI Valid Until September 30, 1980.I I * Good Selection of Wicker & Ceramics * Speciaiizing in Silk Flowers for Weddings Gifts and Floral Arrangements for Ail Occasions I *Natural Sea Coral Bond Towers Mail (Downstalrs)* 579-5269 parents, Fred and Vera Henry, a brother David of Oshawa and a sister Cynthia of Ottawa .
