2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, Merch 26, 1960 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CLOCA "MARRIAGE" HITS ROUGH GROUND When City Council recently came face to face with some of the hard (financial) facts concerning its 1958 marriage to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority many aldermanic faces were red. There were also some good loud cries of horror and shock. Almost overnight, the once-beloved and revered CLOCA name had a nasty connotation. City Couneil (with one or two excep- tions) acted like a betray- ed bridegroom hooked into a neat little marriage of convenience from which there appeared to be no easy escape route, Why the excitement? Oshawa's contribution to the 1960 CLOCA budget # has been set down at "$20,150. Oshawa's total is up ap- proximately $18,302 from 1959, It also represents 61.4 percent of the amount slated to be paid by the nine community members of the CLOCA for admin- istration and land pur- chases ($32,836) in 1960. Why was Oshawa assessed so much with only three members on the 12-member authority? It's done on a per capita population basis according to the Con- servation Act. WM. OWEN BIG. PROGRAM NO SECRET Why did the big CLOCA budget come as such a shock to Council when one of its own members belonged to it and should have known months ago of the major program planned? One of the sore spots on the CLOCA program is its plan to purchase a $50,000 farm of 125 acres (located six miles north west of Oshawa) for conserva- tion display purposes. Some councillors felt such a purchase would greatly jtate Oshawa taxpayers, especially those in arms er the closing of two swimming pools. What drove many on Council into a tizzy was the final realization that the CLOCA could come back next year (under provisions of the Conservation Authority Act, Ont. 1950) and request twice, or three times, as much of Oshawa. Alderman Thomas is about the only one around Council who can afford to sit back and view the muddle with a smug look. She has remained discreetly silent on the subject of late, but many recalled it was she who warned Council in 1958 of the possibility of "serious financial entanglements with the CLOCA" if Council didn't keep a close eye on matters. Her warn- ing signals were completely ignored. The authority wants to spend a whooping $69,500 in 1960 on adminstration and land purchases. Half of this would be paid by the department of planning and development, the balance by the nine communities, Oshawa thus would pay $20,150 out of $32,836 (the latter amount is less than half the CLOCA budget be= cause the authority had some cash on hand from 1959). THE TAXPAYERS MUST SLUMBER 2 City Council has been religiously silent about the 19680 CLOCA budget lest it disturb those taxpayers not yet over the shock of a 3.5 mill increase, Alderman Norman Down recently resigned his CLOCA seat (he was later replaced by Alderman Murdoch) in a red-hot huff, but he never gave a word of official explanation for the move and his resigna- tion was accepted in open council in something like 30 seconds. Finance Chairman Bastedo, in his comprehensive survey Monday of the new tax increase, did not see fit to mention it. Mayor Lyman Gifford has also remained silent, but he has been working furiously behind the scenes to get the CLOCA-Oshawa marriage back on the right tracks without too much fuss for the taxpayers. He recently ignored the CLOCA and arranged a meeting for himself and a group of other district leaders (including Reeve Garnet Rickard of Darlington, Mayor Martin of Whitby: and T. D. "Tommy" Thomas) with the Hon. William Nickle, minister of planning and development. As a result of that meeting, Mr. Nickle: Said the CLOCA's budget was sent to coun- cils without enough warning, Said Councils should get more warning about impending spending and more information on what the authority planned in the future. Recommended that the CLOCA 1960 levy be withdrawn until further investigation could be made. (He noted a survey was being made by his department and that a plan will be presented to the authority.) MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS ARE LISTED There were two other major developments in the case this week: Oshawa city council has appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board on the amount of benefit it will re- ceive from the CLOCA's 1960 program. Whitby town council decided to freeze the town's $3,375 budget until the department makes some of- ficial decision. The above is only a brief summary of the situa- tion. William Owen, of Oshawa, a dedicated conserva~- tion man who is chairman of the CLOCA, has accused Mayor Gifford of kicking up "an unnecessary fuss" without consulting the authority. He says the councils entered into the set-up with their eyes open, with the full knowledge of what was going on; also that they had every opportunity to keep fully informed of developments, Certainly Oshawa City Council has got itself into quite a muddle but the taxpayers will be happy if Mayor Gifford (and some political friends) can salvage at least part of the deal. Conservation is urgently needed in this district but this city's taxpayers will be more than a little happy if at least some of that money can be earmarked for other, more-pressing projects, such as swimming pools.
