December 8th, 1932. The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, OSHAWA. Dear Sir:-- In these times I intend to frank, and even blunt. I have apologles to make. Our city is on the verge of fin- ancial collapse, which spells dis- aster to every citizen bound to it by ties of material interests, of honour, of love and of duty. To others who care not, they may say "let it come, the wreek- ers can pick up the wreckage." There is a vision! shall tnat picture be painted? The canvas is spread and the paint is on the palette. Who denies it? Let us stand together ap loyal citizens to prevent it. Right here let us commend those long time public- 3piriied citizens, who have joined ogether in thought and expres- ing through your columns, for a show down viz. Mr. F. L. Fowke and Dr, T. E. Kaiser, We are not done, if the call to duty is answered, Standing with our backs to the wall as we are, is nothing if our hearts are strong and our minds clear. Two years ago on December 13th, 1930, I gave you figures and facts of Oshawa's financial position and cried "Halt" and nlso. sald "Are we not past East York and on the road to Chicago -The banks. cried halt in Chi- | cago---How far will they let Osh- | awa go? If they do not tell us to | put our house in order, they are | voor financial advisers". Those | were straight words then and I | repeat them today before we | strike the rocks. I agree with Dr. Kalser on his general outline for effecting the desired results, and, like him, I am pot in any fault-finding no Almonte.--Reeve and council- | John McIntosh and An- | expended in this way it will be | unemployment | Ottawa.--Mayor Theo Lambert | disnlay of ces. | head ynarters | the first | firemen to attend in a hody the | yvonr | Hun | |, ns month 2 sugar bush of *wen- | | OSHAWA enty- | gathered in one day and it was | be | frame of mind against our maver and council. His annfication » an "Order-in-Council" is best way out and th: v..y that has appeared to me for long time. The letter to you of Trustee J. Anderson of the board of edn- cation on November 26th., would have been better lost in the mail. Docs he not know that City Treasurer P, Blackburn prepares a special report every year on December 15th., of the city's fi- nancial = position. Simple and complete for any intelliz nt citi- zen to understand Also does he not know the city's business is annually"audited by indepenaent auditors and chartered account- ants at ;that--All that any one should desire; except a keener interest in the city's business, and this Mr. Anderson as chairmaff of the vocational committee of the hoard of education might take up by special classes and study of the city's financial reports and | treasur-r's annual statement. the a ddinz another $1,000.00 to our ruditing or accounting expenses. [ al > di 'agree entirely with the 1 lon of calling the various wiblie spending bodies together to work out its plan for retrench- tint after listening to Mr. Drad- + show or any other $1,000.00 spe- | ela] report, as suggested by him. | It is too late! Why prolong the agony when the enemy is at the gate? Remember Nero fid- dling on his throne and ignoring | the surging throngs at his gate? Two years ago incide closed loors the board of education even refused to give considera- tion to reductions of expendi- tures in proportion to reduced ostg of living. A proposal fos- tered by the | writer--law and surgery, knifed the suggestion as preposterous. The board shivered and agreed in silence. This mem- br of the vocational commjttee | that ycar escaped without a cut or scratch. I rezard our position today as to -place any confi- cils, board of edu- eation er any spending board, to ect the necessary economies that our present financial posi- lon jnstifirs They can't { trusted, Mr. Editor and citiz Do not he fooled. --It is late to juzgle figures.

I mean no offense to anyole, Let | Our spending bodies, compris- "d of the best-intentioned eiti- zens, simply cannot, (as they have not) and should not be ask- ed to do the essential pruning of expenditures, affecting as it must and would, many of their closest personal friends. To be blunt, ft is a dirty job, and they will not face ft. To get deeper into our most serious position, and the final question of ways and means to xtricate ourselves, it is not a question of accounts as between Blackburn and Bradshaw. They are mot the parties of a real agreement for eettlement, as I ize up our position. It is a case of debtor and cred- itor. They are the parties to affect a settlement, avert bankruptey and disaster, and to save Osha- wa. There are three parties in- volved. The city of Oshawa. the banks and the provincial govern- ment. Call them the "Triple En- tente", Each of these three parties, by spceial act through order-in- council if you like, to elect one representative, forming a board of special commissioners to ad- minister the financial affairs of the city, Thus curtailing or de- priving our present spending hodies of their present spending powers, until such time as may be determined by future events. If I were one of these credi- tere, what I shonld say to this e'tr today, would be--"II you wish me to carry wou I must have direct and leral representa- tion in a properly constituted hoard of financial administra- tors." That is my suggestion or lead and I commend it to our mayor and council that is, or is to be for 1933, and all others. Section - 222, Municipal Act says "The mayor of a city, shall be the chief executive officer of the corporation." Section 223 says "It shall be his duty to re- meas- | commend to council such ures as shall tend to the improve- ment of the finances of the Mun- feipality." Is the measure I have laid out advisable? Is it neceseary at this time? I feel certain in my own m'nd in saying 'yes'. If Oshawa 8 rade I sca no rrason whatever for | rived © | th extra savinz affected, Ue expressed itself favonrahle to the government in this matter as in- it might ask to be re- ved of the extra 20 p'r eent in elief cost. And thig in {tself, by naturally influence the hanks to arry us over the storm as well a3 g'ving the banks direct racentaiion on the board of ad- ministration. In conclusion, the great curse in the administration of our pub- lie affairs here and elsewhere has beon too many spending bodics and far too much government, We, in Oshawa, have cut out five spending bodies. in our ward system and cut down our couneil from fifteen spenders to ten. To- day 1 say we have no option. Befor> closing I su~gest such a constituted board should sider and act not only in expen- ditures, hut should have power to investizate all sources of rey- enue. To check up on all leakages of income.
