Mayor Christine Thomas said city was that it would be ex. tending into a buffer area. It was also pointed out that there would be no possibility of the area being served by a gravity sewage system. Commission members were upset by this decision of city council. The mayor said she had fought against it.

The number involved in Crim- inal Code offences totalled 6,055, a decrease of 269 or 4.3 per cent from the previous year. Commenting on this aspect of his report, Commissioner C. W. Harvison said: "While it is too early to re- gard this decrease -- the first in many years -- as indicating a trend, the fact that it oc- curred despite an over - all in- crease in crime allows for some cautious optimism." The RCMP investigates breaches of the federal Crim- inal Code in the provinces, acts as the provincial police force in * all provines except Ontario and Quebec and has contracts to po-| | { lice more than 100 cities, towns and municipal districts. Commissioner Harvison said the small increase of 1.1 per cent in Criminal Code cases in 1959-60 could not be interpreted too optimistically. There was a big decrease in cases of perjury and false pre- tences in Alberta, reflecting the aftermath of the many cases of fraud in connection with the dis- tribution of oil and gas divi- dends to the province's resi- dents. Discounting these, the country's Criminal Code cases would have shown an over - all increase of 5.3 per cent, in line with the trend of past years. The number of murder cases increased to 48 from 38 and those of impaired or intoxicated driving to 6,461 from 6,250.

According to the general manager, the club would be a completely separate group from the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, however its members would have to be supporters of the chamber.
