Cabs Use Taximeters Every Oshawa taxicab must now have a taximeter to register distance, record trips and units and. compute fares. This bylaw went into effect last March 1. This is from Bylaw 15 of the Board of Commissioners of Po- lice for the City of Oshawa, pass- ed at its regular meeting, Friday afternoon. It was passed to amend tylaw number 5 by adding a section 9. This section also states the meters shall be submitted for testing, inspection and sealing, before being used as well as in May and November, each year. It also says they should be lighted between dusk and dawn. They should be in plain view. They are to be used only during the seven months after testing land sealing; and only while the seal is intact. They are to be adjusted according to the rates set out in section 36 of the The Osharn Ses SECOND SECTION OSHAWA, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1960 PAGE NINE Opposition When a deputation of citizens opposed rezoning of city-owned land on the north side of Conant stheet, east of Ritson road south, last Tuesday night, it wasn't the first time.

There was some difference of opinion between council mem- bers on the planning board (Branch and Dafoe) so the plan- ners referred the matter back to the board of works, which met in committee on March 9, 1959. A motion was moved by Ald. Dafoe "that the planning board uested to rezone the area proposed as a eity . . . from residential to in- Sore The motion carried unanimous- ly. The next day planning board met and recommended rezoninz of the property as modifed (with row of houses and strip of trees). City council made it official at the March 16th meeting. The On- tario Municipal Board was slated for Dec. 16, 1959. But first the OMB requested that all within 300 wy rather f 200 feet, be notified. he Canadian National Rail- ways, Claire McCullough, six homeowners on the north side of Conanat street and two residents of Myers street were notified. No minutes of OMB meetings are kept by the city so there is no record to show that anyone appeared in opposition. LOSE CONFIDENCE The OMB approved the rezon- ing, and bylaw 3665 came into ef- fect Last month, the eity council in made a request for rezen- ing, this time the portion to the west of the recently rezoned prop- erty. Again opposition by the resi- dents. : Planning board is still studying the situation. G. Colpus, E. A. Lovell, 8. G. Saywell, E. Marks, C. C. Me- Gibbon and W. J. Naylor were members of the board. One city alderman . with pre- budget queasiness introduced a motion before the city council to have the provincial government give boards of education the power to exclude repeaters from schools. He charged that 300 students at the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute were "para- sites in the Old Folks Home for Youths" and worst of all cost $55,000 to keep them there. : BOARD ASKED A budget of $219,000 was re- quested by the board, an increase of $28,000 over the previous year's. It was too much for one of the oldtimers on the council in a joint meeting with the school board. He denounced night classes, vocational training, kin- dergarten classes and music as unnecessary frills and declared that the lot should be abolished. Only "wildcat spending" could pay for them, he charged. Told his plan to abolish voca- tional training would leave 750 students without schooling, he replied: "If they wan't it, let their parents 'pay for it," and later during the same meeting: "Cut out all those who are learn- ing trades, let them go to work." Finally a joint resolution did go out from the board and coun- cil asking the Ontario government to pay 80 per cent of education costs. RELIEF FROM PROVINCE By the following year some relief came and the Ontario government paid 50 per cent of school costs across the province to relieve the heavy taxation on property. A major expense was war emergency classes, Although paid for largely by Federal and pro- vincial grants they were never- theless an extra strain on the Board's resources. During 1941 the first group of officers and men arrived at the OCVI for courses in carpentry and as engine artificers and motor mechanies. The armed forces made inroads the north east ward, south of the Downsview golf course, for a future school. There was no thought of immediate building or even immediately after the war. School enrolment was now con. stant but the school inspector, T. R. McEwan, and the trustees could foresee a time when another school would become necessary, HOME ECONOMICS ADDED Development in the schools was mics and manual training classes were being added to the schools throughout the war years. In 1941 they were given an extra boost when itinerant teachers of home economics and manual training were appointed. Two opportunity classes were slarted, the Oshawa Ministerial Association began their work in religious instruction and in 1945 the first art supervisor was hired. By 1943, Oshawa was no longer depression struck but a city en- tering new days of a wartime boom. Again the board talked of the school proposed for the north east ward. SAW CHICAGO SCHOOLS that the first school to be built since the depression should be the very best the city could pro- vide, that a small group went to not at a standstill. Home econo-| So concerned were the trustees| ing pointed out that the staff at the OCVI worked 51 of 52 periods a week out of a total of 55. Need for the long planned school was obvious. A modern, one-storey building with the quivalent of 26 st d class- rooms was designed for the six- acre site. The city council was asked to issue the debenture for the school which was to cost $495,000. PROPHET OF WOE Council said no. One prophet of woe, Alderman F. Dafoe, in- sisted that with the changeover from wartime to peacetime pro- duction, between 2000 and 3000 families would be forced to leave the city because of unemploy- ment. . "I think the board has gone haywire if .they propose to build a schoo! costing half a million dollars," and "aren't you going to throw the city to the wolves again", greeted the Board when they met with Council for the issue of the debentures. Trustee A. E. Lovell reminded the Aldermen that some years previously when the Board asked Council to put money aside for the school it was told: "Let the A pay for it." Meeting followed meeting be- tween the board and council. The ii tor, Mr. McEwan, explain- Chicago and toured new school for suggestions and ideas. Then in May, 1945, the war came to an end. Speaking on behalf of the board, Trustee S. G. Saywell said: "As a board of education, it is our responsibility and privilege to have a part in making sure that the generation of youth now in cur schools shall be prepared in- tellectually, morally and spiritu- ally to benefit by the sacrifice of those who gave their all." WAR LEFT MARK The war had left its mark in many ways, At a meeting of the board and teachers, H. E. Murphy, then a member of the staff of the OCVI, told the trustees that discipline had become an increasingly dif- ficult problem in the school. He spoke of increased truancy, stealing and marring of school property. He suggested some ed that the school program was being seriously curtailed by the lack of space. Council just dug their heels in, TWO-SHIFT SYSTEM In the OCVI overcrowding reached emergency proportions and the school was forced to ge on to a two-shift system with classes on Saturdays as well. Finally, the voters were asked to approve the school, They too turned it down. ' The one big chance that the city might have had to keep abreast of the rising school pop- ulation was lost, moreover at a time when building costs were not yet excessive. One addition was built before the decade was out, to Ritson School, and negotiations for a new collegiate on the Bishop Bethune site held out a measure of hope for the fifties.
