ane NR IE IEC 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, October 22, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN Dief Plans War On. Automation Effects -- BOARD OF WORKS YARD ON THE GRIDDLE The City's Board of Works Yard, like the City's Engin- eering Department, was a prime target for criticism in the recently-completed Woods, Gordon Study of Civic Administra- tion Report now under study by a special Council committee. _ "This seems unfair, ludicrous to some taxpayers who point out (with tongue in cheek, no doubt) that such criticism is too easy to come by, almost tantamount to shooting at defence- less people in open boats. Their reasoning is simple -- City Works Yard crews per- form most of their daily chores in full view of the public; first-person stories about their highly-inefficient operation, total man-hours lost; lack of supervision, etc. are more numerous than stories about outer-space. Few are exaggrerated. They teed not be, City's Works Yard crews by and large are an efficient and conscientious group (like their counterparts in so many other civic departments) but they are shackled by an outmoded system of operation that could not but help produce confusion, | inefficiency. The time-wasting shenanigans of some crews would delight thousand of taxpayers (would provide excellent back- ground material for a Jackie Gleason TV comedy) except for one thing -- they are costing the municipality thousands of dollars in waste afnually. INITIATIVE SADLY LACKING This was common knowledge months before a municipal sufvey repert was dreamed of in 1959 -- the Woods, Gordon Report merely put the spot-light on it in a more effective compelling, way. The W-G Report points out that maintenance activities of the Yard appear to receive little direction from the City Engineering staff -- it recommends that the Yard operation be established as a separate department under a Works Superintendent who would work in close co-operation with the City Engineer and his staff, but would report independantly to the Director. of Operations a proposed new post to help co-ordinate the City's so-called Operating Department). The idea would be to give greater freedom of action to | the Works Superintendent and also encourage initiative, which is sadly lacking in this unit. An oft-heard complaint during the W.G. survey was that responsibility and authority were not delegated in the engineer- ing operations. Separation of the Works department from the rest of the Engineering department (the report continues) would amount to complete delegation to the Works Superin- tendent, under the guidance of the Director of Operations. The Works Sperintendent should then in turn delegate respon- sibility to his foreman, in such matters as work scheduling. The City Engineer would benefit in being relieved of ad- ministrative responsibility for the Yard operation and would | be free to concentrate on engineering matters. This would, of course, still include control of performance standards in the construction work undertaken by Yard staff, through speci- fications established by the engineering group. TECHNICAL RESOURCES GROUP It should also include making studies, at the request of | the Works Superindendant, of work: methods, and the effec- tiveness of equipment use. Says the report: "In general we would expect that the head office engineer- ing department would act as a technical resource groups, and we do not consider 'that the separation of the Works Depart- ment should require any additional administrative staff at the | xp Yard." tion and maintenance activities. In general new construction by the Yard staff is confined to sidewalks and sewers. Other construction is contracted out. All City maintenance work, in- | cluding garbage collection, snow removal, traffic signs and street cleaning, is done by the Yard staff. The W-G Report admits that "in the course of our study we encountered a lot of criticism of the Yard operation. Much of this criticism concerned time lost by Yard employees. We believe this lost time is due to poor scheduling, and to some extent to poor supervision." The present system of work scheduling depends almost entirely on the memory of the Works Superindendent (says the Report), who tells each crew what to do as they leave the Yard each morning.

Douglas, former CCF premier She said the total vote in a byelection usually falls about 10 per cent below that of a gen- eral election but that the inter- est in this one was so high that the number voting could sur- pass the June 18 figure. Of the 48,000 eligible then, 38,- 000 voted. The number eligible has risen nearly 300 in the last six months. Victoriaville, Mr. Johnson ap- pealed for support from younger voters by promising that a Un- ion Nationale government would raise scholarships and student loans and set up a province-wide network of youth hostels and/ recreational centres. Reiterating a promise to set) up a universal system of port- able pensions, Mr. Johnson said a large part of the pensions fund cycle current. * He said conversion to 60-cycle current will begin next year in Val d'Or and Rouyn-Noranda, the most heavy-populated dis- tricts of Abitibi. In St. Leonard d'Aston, Attor- ney-General Georges Lapalme said that if the Liberals are re- turned to power there will be other arrests in the govern- ment's clean-up drive against sonal contact, the system breaks down if for any reason the | key man is away. It also by-passes to some extent authority of the two general foremen responsible for sewers and roads. In addition, the Report continues this lack of dele- gation tends to lessen all foremen's sense or responsibility," so that when a job is completed they will wait to be told what to do next rather than take the initiative themselves." The W-G Report makes some recommendations for a correction of this faulty system. The control and issue of fuel for the Yard is also cricic- ized--each driver fills up the fuel tank of his own vehicle and enters the quantity, to the nearest whole gallon, on the monthly fuel consumption sheet for his vehicle, together with the date, mileage and his name. This introduces opportunity for error in measuring and recording fuel consumption, adds the Report; such errors would probably not be spotted and checked when they occured, and would therefore accumulate the end of the year. The Woods, Gordon Report recommends a long-term plan of City projects be maintained by the Engineer's Depart- ment. It would be reviewed by the Board of Works in con- junction with the annual budget, Progress would be reported to the Board of Works periodically for comparison with the dollar budget. The report also points out that Oshawa differs from many cities in its policy on tendering, and contracting work out. The Woods, Gordon people tried to find out why most Oshawa tenders did not attract more bids. Some contractors were non-union and did not bid because of the clause in Osh- awa contracts requiring union rates (a common feature of city tenders and entirely a matter of civic policy). The report recommends that the Engineer's Department can attract the maximum number of bidders on contracts by doing the cut up jobs with City staff and contract out only the big and attractive ones -- this. would make it more worth- while for contractors to bring in their equipment, says the report, with the expected benefit to the City of more bids and resulting lower prices. The report was critical of the use being made of. survey teams and draftsmen during winter months and urged that the staff do drawings in the winter and surveying in the Summer, Says the report 'It appears therefore, that the indiv- idual output per draftsman is not now as high as in the past, | or that the City has more draftsmen than it needs." The report criticized the practice of all survey. teams re- turning to the City hall from their survey sites for lunch (a criticism that has also been directed at the Board of Works yard crews). Such travelling is done during working hours and this reduces the time available for survey work.

(AP)-- George C. Wallace, incoming governor, is expected to take steps to create a state militia in the wake of an announced in- tegration attempt at the Univer. sity of Alabama. Sources close to the Democra- tic nominee said Saturday an an. nouncement that five Negro stu- dents would apply to the white university has stiffened Wal lace's determination to press for the creation of a state force um der his control to meet any vio- lence in racial integration. Wallace, whose nomination by the Democrats in the Nov. 6 election is tantamount to elec- tion in the traditionally-Demo- cratic state, wants to set up the miliia not only to meet this type of violence, he sources said, but to deal with other demonstra- tions and disasters, the latter in particular if the National Guard should be federalize dbecase of world tensions. A state militia would be un der the command of the gover-' nor and, unlike the National Guard, could not be federalized. Rioting broke out during ink tial integration of the university after a federal court erdered Au. therine Lucy admitted in Feb- ruary, 1956. Violence then, how- ever, was not as severe as re- cent demonstrations at the Uni- versity: of Mississippi. Miss Lucy was expelled three days after she entered the uni- versity because she accused school authorities of conspiring with a mob that touched off riot. ing on her arrival: No Negro has been admitted since. Wallace said in his campaign that, if necessary, he would stand in the doorway of any Ala bama school to block desegrega- tion during his four-year term a8 governor.
