2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, March 7, 1963 mi Ze -- ByJACKGEARIN -- OOD EVENING Free Hospital Space "COUNCIL SAYS "NO" POLITELY TO BOARD * Mayor Lyman Gifford sounded another grim warning "this week about the City's deteriorating financial picture. , Oshawa is gradually going "deeper in the hole, issuing 'fore debentures in a year than it is retiring," he said as "Council point blank refused, 9-3, to go along with the Board Sef Education's $221,000 debenture request for additions to "two Public Schools (Adelaide McLaughlin and Dr. C. F. Cannon). ie Mr, Gifford tried to be po- lite, use the soft-sell in his appeal to the Board, but there was no mistaking what he meant as the recommen- * dation was sent back to the trustees for what Alderman Cliff Pilkey called '"reap- praisal"'. This year's capital expendi- ditures to be debentured will total $1,790,000, he pointed out, but the City will retire only $1,470,436. In a throwback reference to his 1960 inaugural speech when he warned that por- table classrooms may be necessary in some cases until the financial picture im- proves, he said: "Tf the Board wants two schools, given them one; if they want $280,000 (a prev- ious estimate of the Board's) give them $140,000. I wouldn't say that they intentionally put in for more than they need, but it is human nature to do guch things. This is only the forerunner. I hope we don't have to send their current budget back to them for revision, but we must be firm and fair, on such matters." Chairman Walter Branch of the Finance Committee in- sisted that the $221,000 total was only an estimate and that the Board could come in with a much lower figure, but this did not influence his colleagues (with the exception of Alder- men Murdoch and Dyer) -- even Aldermen Dafoe and Rundle of the Finance Committee voted against Mr. Branch, un- doubtedly knowing that the Board on its record to date rarely undersp but freq ly oversp The man most responsible for the refer-back-to-the-Board motion was not Mayor Gifford, but Alderman Clifford Pilkey who' turned 'ap with some impressive evidence to substantiate his claim that the Board was spending far too much per classroom. Mr. Pilkey and Mr. Gifford do not always see eye to eye "on major issues, but they make a formidable team when united in for a single cause as was the case Monday. Mr. Pilkey said: MAYOR GIFFORD TORONTO (CP) --Ray Ed- wards (L -- Wentworth) sug- gested in the Ontario legislature Wednesday that provision of out-patient services under the hospital insurance plan would free hospital bed space for more urgent cases. He said that after a two-year trial period, the coverage can be discontinued if the public shows disinterest or opposition. Cost of the extension had been estimated at $6,000,000 yearly which might be paid for by an additional 15 to 30 cents a month to hospital insurance premiums. Mr, Edwards, speaking dur- ing debate on health depart- ment estimates, said the Ontario Medical Association be- lieved a shortage of domiciliary accommodation for the chronic- ally ill and the lack of coverage for out-patient services were factors that tied up bed space needed for patients under active treatment. Donald C. MacDonald, pro- vincial New Democratic Party leader, said the government was obliged to find out what had happened to 'millions of dol- lars"--reserves--in the Ontario Blue Cross Insurance Plan after the government plan started Dec. 31, 1958 He suggested Blue Cross pay '"'these millions to the Ontario Hospital plan or Orphan May Have To Pay Maintenance TORONTO (CP) -- Thirteen-| year-old Billy Leuchs, orphaned last April when his father shot his mother and then killed him- self, may have to pay Metro- politan Toronto more than $17,- 000 for his orphan maintenance out of his $30,000 estate.

The Clinton file was in his of- fice and the investigation was continuing. Mr. MacDonald asked, if, in view of Mr. Yaremko's state- ment, the file had been under' the care of an official of the provincial secretary's depart- iment while it was im the at- torney-general's office. The NDP leader said he knew "for a fact" that public files were examined by government officials without the -supervision of anyone from Mr. Yaremko's department.

Health Minister Matthew Dy- mend said Blue Cross was an- swerable to its subscribers, not to the government.

Mr. Cass' comments. followed questions in the House by Mr. MacDonald, who asked why the company file on the Clinton Driving Park Association had been missing for two weeks from the public files section of the provincial secretary's of- sice, Mr. MacDonald said he had requested the Clinton file on four occasions in the last two weeks but had been told the file was not available, When he had made a search of the public files previously, the NDP leader said, an official accept nuclear weapons if a Non- political parliamentary committee recommended them.
