7 2 THEOSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, April 25, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEAR WHITBY TOWN . TOWNSHIP MARRIAGE IS PONDERED A big secret was out this week. Tt concerned the town of Whitby (1963 population -- 620) and Whitby township (6,706). n ~. They have been holding secret amalgamation talks since last October to determine if an accord could be reached whereby the town would take over part, or all of the town- ship (which happened when Oakville took: over Trafalgar township). e 4 "There was no official indi- » cation of what progress had been made, but this much was known -- Me. talks were "conducted by a joint seven- | man committee headed by John Pearson of the De- partment of Municipal Af- fairs. Three representatives each from the town and township were also included. 1 No less than seven secret meetings were held prior to that of last Wednesday in the Whitby fown hall, a public attended by more than 60, including May- A, M. of Oak- ville ("If you want amalga- affair or Masson mation you' can have it and have it successfully," he @aid.) He was accompanied by his treasurer and his town adminisirator. © Some thorny issues must be ironed out before any town- township marriage could be consummated; as one district municipal official said of Wednesday's meeting: : 'Remember this -- it was merely a factfinding get-together. Otherwise, it would be dangerous to read too much into it because neither side knows fully yet whether it is in favor of amalga- tThation. It is too early." The joint committee (proposed by the Department of Municipal Affairs) was the direct result of an application by the. town to. the Ontario Municipal Board last fall to square off its boundaries -- the square-off would include annexation of a valuable 350-acre industrial site adjacent |to the town's east boundary and housing the Lake Ontario Steel plant (eventual cost of which has been announced as $7,000,000). The OMB has 'not ruled on Whitby town's. application, but it did request the town to get together with the town- ship and see if some accord could not be reached -- the joint commitiee followed soon after. The best known open secret in the district was that the township strenuously opposed any town move that would take over the steel property site. This is one of the hot points in the current talks. Concern was also expressed by some that provincial grants to an amalgamated town would be jess than those made currently to the combined town and township -- the meeting was told the difference would be email, The amalgamation could become a reality .within two years once accord was reached. Whitby town could thus extend its borders to Oshawa, have a geographical area of 65 square miles (Oshawa's is 22 square miles) 7 : John- Goodwin is the reeve of Whitby Township. REEVE GOODWIN WARD SYSTEM PLEBISCITE IS SET It's official : Oshawa's 35,000-odd voters will have an opportunity to express their wishes on the Ward system at the next muni- cipal election in December. 'City QOounc?l finally gave it the: green light Monday, 10-1, after long procrastination, indecision -- Mayor Lyman Gifford and Alderman Clifford Pilkey were the only absen- tees. Alderman John Dyer, the lone dissenter, stood up and expressed his feelings on the Ward system in no uncertain terms. Mr. Dyer's argument, in capsule, that the current City-wide vote plan (in operation locally since the Ward system was discarded in 1932): assures the municipality of *'non-sectional thinking' on Council of the Whole The Ward system, he feels, produces 'worse men" as representatives ('You can't help it -- it will create narrow, partisan thinking, if adopted. It would be a most retro- grade step. If our financing was in the hands of a group like (Toronto) controllers who represent the entire city, I would have to re-examine my thinking," he said."') Mr. Dyer should be commended for his frankness in pub- ely discussing a subject which is taboo with so many Coun- cil colleagues -- otherwise, his speech must certainly qualify 'as being one of the most partisan at Council level in recent memory. : Mr. Dyer may be right, Perhaps the Ward system would be a "retrograde" step, but that is a hazard the electorate must face if it if ever to rid Council of its overfiow. of tired blood. Retrogression can take several forms, one of which is to return the same councillors year after year when their records are without merit or achievement. now. is THANKS, JACK, WE GET THE MESSAGE "I have made no less than three fortunes at different times in my life.
