Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers snd Stone Inc., New York and Chicage FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1930 THE RATEPAYERS HAVE SPOKEN The ratepayers of Oshawa have pro. nounced thelr verdiet, By an overwhelming majority of over two to one, they defeated the two bylaws which would have provided for the construc. tion of a elvic administration building and a police station, The majority by which the bylaws were defeated leaves no room for uncertainty, While the result, naturally, is a disappointment to those who sincerely believed the two projects were good business for Oshawa under present conditions, they will, of course, accept the verdict of the ratepayers with good grace, and will turn their endenvors to the formulation of other plans to accomplish the ends they have in mind, namely, the providing of employment for the hundreds of men who are out of employment in the city, LJ + LJ ' The defeat of the bylaws can be attributed solely to one thing--the hard times psych- ology which has taken hold of the minds of many of the people of Oshawa, Post mortems are never very pleasant things, and in this case it seems hardly necessary to reiterate the arguments which were put forward in favor of the bylaws, but which were rejected by the ratepayers, But it is to be "nped, most sincerely, that the ver- diet 'is not to be interpreted as meaning that the ratepayers have lost faith in their city and its future, The defeat of the by- laws, in itself, would not be a disastrous thing but it would be disastrous if that defeat meant that the ratepayers who voted against them had lost all hope that condi tions are hound to improve soon, and that the city was ever to rise out of a condition of stagnation. We say it would he a real disaster if that psychology of depression had taken so great a hold of the people of the city that they could not see anything better ahead. Rg . » LJ We would much prefer, however, to be- lieve that the ratepayers disagreed with the bylaws because they did not think they would make a sufficiently great contribution to the solution of the unemployment prob. lem. We would prefer to believe that those who opposed the bylaws were sincere In their protestations that other projects, which would cost the city less money, which are also necessary, would provide a greater measure of employment at a smaller cost to the ratepayers. For instance, the argu- ment that the construction of the subway would provide a much greater measure of employment than the projects named in the bylaws, may have swayed a great many people to vote against them, But, from the standpoint of unemployment relief, it would have been much better to erect the build. ings named, and to build the subway as well, . LJ . . The bylaws, however, have been defeat. ed, but the needs of Oshawa remain, Osh- 'awa still needs central administration of. fices for its civic departments, Oshawa still needs adequate and sanitary quarters for its police department, On the questions, however, the voice of the ratepayers has pronounced its verdict, and the city will have to struggle along as heretofore, What is, perhaps, of more immediate im: portance, is that the problem of unemploy- ment still remains to be solved, The coun. ¢il must still take cognizance of that fact, and must still bend its energies towards finding a solution which will provide work for those men who are without jobs, For. tunately, perhaps, the subway project does not require a vote of the ratepayers, and the council is at perfect liberty to proceed with that project on its own initiative, It has been suggested that the subway con. struction is dependent on the decision of the Canadian National Railway, We be. lieve, however, and we have it on the auth. ority of Sir Henry Thornton, that the sub, way can be built any time the city council. of Oshawa presses the Dominion Railway Board for a work order. That must be the next step, and the council should waste no time in taking 'it, A A LJ Above all, we trust that the defeat of the bylaws will not have the effect of intensity 1 M. ing the depression psychology which con- tributed towards that defeat, Oshawa still has a greater future before it, In due time, the civic bulldings and police station wil) be built," These things are bound to come, and it may be that in the near future con. ditions will be more favorable than they are at present for the submitting of » by. law to the ratepayers. Yesterday's vote cannot stay the march of the city to greater progress, It will be only a temporary set- back, and we hope that now the issue is de- cided, the citizens will take their coats off, put their shoulders to the wheel, and work together to promote the coming of pros- perity, and help to solve all the troubles of the present day, THE POLICE STATION LOCATION Oshawa is not going to have its new police station--at least not yet, That was decided yesterday by the vote of the ratepayers, Yet it is of some interest to note that if the police station bylaw had carried, the location, according to the verdict of the ratepayers, would have been in favor of placing it on the city's property on Bagot Street, The ratepayers had two alternatives plac. ed before them, the site on Bagot Street and the site at the corner of Richmond and Prince Streets, They voted by a clear cut majority in favor of the Bagot Street pro- perty, and thereby established the principle of complete centralization of civic depart. ments, This was a principle for which The Times fought in the bylaw vote last Janu- ary, and the people still agree with The Times that the present was an opportune time to build the new police station, With that splendid piece of property be- tween Metcalfe and Bagot Streets, that is, of course, the logical location for any civic buildings which are being erected, and the vote of yesterday regarding the location of the police station, when the time comes to build it, should not be forgotten THE UTILITIES COMMISSION POSITION The vote of yesterday on the civic ad- ministration building bylaw was doubtless a disappointment to the majority of the mem- bers of the Public Utilities Commission, They were hoping that the bylaw would be passed, so that they could be provided with quarters in the new building, Now, accord- ing to statements which were made in the course of the campaign, they will have to set to work to build a building of their own, to take care of their administration offices, The Utilities Commission, incidentally, does not need to ask the permission of the citizens to erect such a building, It can act on its own initiative, But very careful con. sideration should be given to whatever steps are to be taken, If the commission decides to build, care should be taken to build in such a location as to have the building In close proximity to the logical location for a future civie building, so that there will be at least some semblance of centraliza: tion. In other words, what is to hinder the Public Utilities Commission using part of the Metcalfe-Bagot streets properties for their office building. «Certainly the old idea of buying the Y.M.C.A, building should not be entertained, but the commission should go ahead with its owns plans, and, by work- ing In co-operation with the city council, it might be possible, by that means, to relieve at least part of the congestion which exists in the present city offices, THE HOLIDAY MENACE It has become customary now, a day or two before a holiday weekend, to say a special word to motorists regarding the dangers of the highways when they are so crowded by holiday traffic, These warnings have not always brought the desired re- sults, for weekend accident lists this sum- mer have been lamentably high, Yet it is the hope of the Highway Safety Committee that, by constant reiteration of the warn ing, that much good will be accomplished, and that human lives will be saved. During the coming weekend, the traffic will be particularly heavy between Oshawa and Toronto, It would be a splendid record for this part of the province were it to have an entirely clean sheet, so far as accidents are concerned, for the weekend. That should be the aim of every motorist who ventures out on the highway, The careful driver, of course, does not always escape accidents. The reckless ones have to be reckoned with. Yet, if the principles of care, courtesy and common sense were made the ruling principles of all car drivers, there would be fewer accidents. Let'ua see, then, just how careful we can be in our holiday weekend driving, so as to present, on Tues. day morning, as perfect a record of safety in motoring as possible, EDITORIAL NOTE Perhaps it is only fair to say that the bylaws were given the dynamite yesterday, In spite of yesterday's vote, don't forget that Oshawa is atill sound to the core, The moat regrettable feature of the by- law vote was that so small a number of ratepayers took the trouble to cast their ballots, tot £0, , WAITE A.
