2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturdey, June 6, 1964 GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- 'MUNICIPAL MACHINERY SADLY OUTMODED Two Royal Commissions in Canada of Jate haye elabor- 'ately spelled out a message that should not be ignored -- the system of municipal government in this country is sadly outmoded, no longer serves the purpose for which it was created. As one editorial pen summed it up this week: *Tt's a NineteenthCentury machine trying, and failing, te do a Twentieth Century Job". i The New Brunswick Royal Commission on Finance and Municipal Taxation (headed by Edward G. Bryne) and the Manitoba Royal Com- mission on Local Govern- ment Organization and Fi- mance (under Roland Mich- ener) are the two tribunals referred to. Space prevents a detail synopsis of the proposals, but the New Brunswick re- port had the more revolu- tionary suggestions to un- tangle the _muddle -- it would turn over all general services, such as_ health, welfare, education, jutice and assessment and tax col- ROLAND MICHENER lection, to the province to be administered through four commissions. County councils 'would be abolished.' Councils for cities, towns and villages would be retained, but only to administer strictly local serv- ices, School and hospital boards would surrender the great majority of their functions to provincial commissions. The Manitoba proposals for reform were more gradual, not so revolutionary; essentially, they ask for a new form of government, at the new regional level which would have representation from the municipalities and school boards in the region but which would, in effect, be dominated by the province, because the province would be paying the greater part of the costs. They would allow division school boards to make special levies to provide services in excess of those provided by a provincial foundation plan. Purpose of the foundation would be to relieve the tax burden on real estate, NEW PUC BUS GARAGE TO COST 6222,000 There was another reminder this week that the operation 'of @ municipal bus service can be a costly thing -- the PUC 'will ask the Ontario Municipal Board for permission to deben- ture for $222,000 to build a new garage for city buses (it will also be used as a repair shop and storage depot.) The PUC's five-year lease on the Hillcroft St, Garage with the CNR will expire next December 31 -- the CNR ; would sell the property for $102,500, but the building is in 'meed of renovation. It would be costly to demolish it and build on the same site -- a decision will be made soon, The bus operations'. anticipated deficit in 1965 will be $70,000, as compared with $19,646 in 1960. | Oshawa's funded and unfunded debt could hit an esti- mated $24,256,000 by the end of this year, an increase of '16.3 percent, or $3,401,000 over 1963. ' The City's debt reached $20,855,000 last year; of this, funded debt (debentures issued already) amounted to $18,- 683,000, or about 90 percent of the total. Unfunded debt '(representing authority to spend money and issue deben- 'tures) totals $2,172,000 and includes: Oshawa General Hospi- tal -- $300,000; Hillside Manor annex -- $240,000; new justice i building -- $400,000. OCVI GRAD WINS WILSON SCHOLARSHIP Michael James Tooley, who was graduated from Osh- ;awa's OCVI in 1959 with 88 percent, has won a high scholas- 'tie honor -- the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship valued 'at $2,000 annually. Tooley is in fourth year honor Philosophy 'at the University of Toronto. He was selected from more 'than 11,000 candidates in Canada and the United States. { The award is for "'an outstanding college senior who ; woul go on to teaching at the University level." He will settend Princeton University, N.J., for graduate work. ' Tooley, who was born March 17, 1941, and lives with an jaunt, Miss Della Tooley of RR No. 4, Bowmanville, also won itwo other awards this year at University of Toronto -- he twas co-winner of the University College Alumni Scholarship tand winner of the George Kennedy Scholarship. ' {SEEK RATIFICATIONS FIRE FIGHTERS CONTRACT H "The Labor Relations committee has reached agreement ; with the Cehewa Fire Fighters for a new contract and will fask City Council to ratify it at the next open meeting, Mon- sday, June 15, . . . Mayor Lyman Gifford charged in open ;Council last Monday night, that cement companies dictate {Prices as far as independent operators of ready-mix services fare concerned -- the City will spend approximately $25,300 ithis year on ready-mix for such things as sidewalks, catch- jbasins, etc. Said His Worship: "If you are not backed or sfinanced by a cement company, then your prices are dic- jtated by them -- and if you don't follow their prices, you tdon't get their cement."" He was commenting on two local ddentical tenders ($15.85 a cubic yard for sidewalk and curb ready-mix concrete and $15.36 a cubic yard for concrete for *manhole and catchbasin work). The Ontario Purchasing Agents Association has been keeping a close watch on jeement tenders recently and will discuss the matter at the *Provincial level at an early meeting. "PROVINCE WOULD SHUN THIS PROPOSAL . City Council has endorsed a resolution of the City of Lon- «don to the Ontario government that the Province take over ithe entire cost of the administration of justice, including the scost of building and maintaining court houses and jails. «Quipped Mayor Lyman Gifford when the vote was taken: 7**You haven't got a chance in Dixie on this one, let's face it." *... St. Gregory's Council of the Knights of Columbus will shold its annual Civic Night Tuesday, June 23, with municipal {representatives (elected and otherwise) as guests. "UNIT 42 OF CORPS TO VISIT NIAGARA FALLS ; Oshawa Unit 42, the Canadian Corps Association, has a "big program scheduled for Sunday, June 6. That's when President Al King will head a delegation of jmore than 50 to Niagara Falls, Ont., for special ceremonies = They will join the Niagara Corps and parade across the 'Rainbow Bridge into Niagara Falls, N.Y., for a memorial {service with U.S. counterparts -- the Oshawa unit's fife and jdrum band will head the procession. Oshawa, incidentally, thas won the marching award for this event more than any other Canadian unit in the past 10 years. . 'LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Final asphalt. work on the downtown King street roadbed lis completed -- this has prompted:an Oshawa bank (manager (who wishes to remain anonymous) to accept wagers that some section of this same roadbed will be torn rup within seven days of completion by either the City Engi- neering Department, PUC or Bell Telephone. Remember *how sections of the new King street sidewalks were thus treated soon after completion; and don't forget those catch- basin! .. 4 Prime Minister Pearson ac- cepted his personal social in- Killed Father Gets 2 Years ST. OATHARINES (CP) -- Charles Coutts, 21, originally charged with the capital mur- der of his father, pleaded guilty Friday to a reduced charge of manslaughter and was sen- tenced to two years in peniten- tiary. An Ontario Supreme Court jury took 13 minutes to return a verdict of "not guilty" to capi- tal murder but "guilty" of man- slaughter. The jury made a strong recommendation for mercy, : Mr, Justice 8.

Charles Coutts Sr,, 56, was shot three times in his Niagara Township home Feb, 23, the cli- max of a family quarrel about Charles Jr, combing his hair in "Beattle"'-fashion after watch- ing the British singing group on televsion. Evidence was that the father attacked his son with a flat-iron and then an axe before Charles Jr. shot him. The victim's wife, daughter and another son, Kerry, all tes- tified that Coutts Sr. was a harsh and cruel man.' The jury was told it was the first time Charles had stood up) Treaty A OTTAWA (CP) -- The legal! progress of the Columbia River treaty and protocol has shown that the course of legislation can be as long and turbulent as any river's, The power project conceived 20 years ago took its final leap over formal House of Commons obstacles Friday by receiving a favorable vote of 108 to 16. A lone Progressive Conserva- tive, C. O. Cooper of Rosetown- Biggar, joined in opposition with 15 members of the New Demo- crate Party who have firmly against the treaty from the beginning. There were 57 Liberals sup- ported by 45 Progressive Con- servatives, five Creditistes and one Social Crediter in favor of the resolution su ing ratifi- cation of the treaty and proto- col. 4 The resolution goes to the Senate Tuesday.

S The record level of 135, es- tablished April 1, represents a gain in the index of 2.7 points or two per cent, compared with 132.3 at May 1, 1963. The in- dex is based on 1949 prices equalling 100. P Decreases in the price of food, clothing and transporta- tion in April offset increases for housing, health and _per- sonal care, recreation and read- ing and tobacco and slcohol. While the index remained un- changed in Apri}, industrial wages and salaries showed a de- crease in March. The index of average industrial wages and salaries at April 1--latest fig- ure available--ws 198.4, com- pared with 199.6 a month ear- lier and 193.1 a year earlier. The food index in April de- clined to 131.2 from 1318 @ month earlier.
