A Tie, Mente: me 4) Church Forms GOOD -- By JACK GEARIN -- EVENING Own Global SPEAKING OF DEBENTURE DEBTS (CHAPT. 2) There is a noticeable tendency these days in official City Hali circles to soft-pedal the City's debenture debt total, funded and unfunded, ' "It should be discouraged. The electorate has a right to know all the hard fiscal facts, not just most of them. The pattern of thinking behind this new official trend goes something like this: The City's rapidly-mount- giout a half-dozen lay people a ing debenture debt total, funded and unfunded, of $24,256,000 expected for this' year -- up 16.3 percent over 1963 -- is not alarming. be- 'case some sizeable self- liquidating items are included | Applicants must be qualified! therein, such as committ- ments of the PUC, the Civie Auditorium and grants due from the Province on Edu- cation. Such fallacious thinking thinking 'not only ignores the fiscal yardsticks set up by Ontario's Department of Municipal Affairs ('The Watchdog of Municipal Af- fyairs"), it creates an un- FRANK MARKSON realistic image of our deben- ture picture. The Buffer Study Report of May, 1964, said the City's per capite debt in 1963 was actually $211, not $285.40, as re- " ported in a recent City Hall release 'General Statistics'. This low figure was obtained by eliminating the so-called | "gel-liquidating items' but the report, published by the City Planning Board, failed to explain certain points. For instance, these "'self-liquidating' items are still offi- cial debts of the municipality until they are paid off, includ- ing the PUC's water and electricity debentures, the Civie Auditorium indebtedness, etc. Would these debts be for- given if the municipality was to be crippled economically with a lengthy strike, or an unforeseen depression? How can the PUC indebtedness be called "'self-liquidating" when it includes the Bus Department debentures? How long, if ever, will it be before this is paid from revenue? ARE CITY'S DEBENTURE TOTALS "ALARMING?" City Treasurer I. Frank Markson was 'unhappy' with parts of a recent column herein on the City's debenture debt total ("CITY'S DEBT UP $3,401,000 OVER '63") last June 11, especially this quote: "Tt is nice to be assured by Mr. Markson that our muni- cipal debenture debt is not alarming. ... " Mr. Markson denied making this statement, so we asked him this question: "In view of the fact that you did not previously say Oshawa's municipal debenture indebtedness was not alarm- ing, Mr. Markson, would you now say that it was alarm- ing?" OSHAWA HIGH ON COMPARATIVE BASIS "I will not say that -- I will,only say that I wish to disassociate myself in any way from the 'word 'alarming' | Peace Corps TORONTO (P)--The Angli- can Church of Canada _ has started its own "peace corps" which will send people abroad in. an effort to help needy. na- | tions | Canon A.

Despite the contradictory clarifications issued by the prime minister, one fact emerges, that is that the gov- ernment has accepted the pos- sibility of 'dividing Canada, | by setting up a committee to investigate that possibility. In effect such a study un- dertaken at the federal level gives official countenance to separatism and lends to a movement not acceptable to the overwhelming majority of Canadians, .including those in \for a stipulated two-year period.

"It's such an honor being banned in Italy, the mother of sensuality,"' he said. "It's like being asked to straighten your tie in a bordello." But he added: "I'm in good company in Italy. Michaelan- gelo and all the rest had serious | trouble."' Two of his 10 paintings be- ing shown at the Venice Exhibi- tion of Modern Art, were re- moved at the request of the state. The Patriarch of Venice, Giovanni Cardinal Urbani, con- dmned Town's nudes as "com- pletely unseemly." Mr. Town said the paintings were shown in Toronto last month without any fuss.

The trucks, which can travel 38 miles an hour on land and seven m.p.h, in water, will cost about £2,720,000. Warming Trend diabetes The prime minister, after admitting to Parliament what was going on, seven hours later produced a watered down version. That version contained the statement that through the study, he "hoped to prove" that s@paration would be "ut- ter disaster." In the same statement, he said he had not asked for a study based on the possibility of separation. Thus, he is in the contradic- tory position where he hopes the study will prove the dis- aster of separation while de- nying that the study is a study of separation, The fact is, on May 20 the member for Danforth, Mr. (Reid) Scott, asked that the government consider a study of the "economic, cultural and social: effects upon the rest of Canada of separation by Que- bec." At that time, the prime min- ister said the government would be glad to consider the matter but the question was entirely academic, INFORMATION SOUGHT On Friday, Mr. Scott sought further information and got his answer: "Yes, we have been consid- | ering the matter. It is not a subject which lends itself to easy investigation and dog- matic conciasions but officials of the government are mak- ing that kind of investigation now." That is clear enough and was so understood by shocked Members of Parliament and the press. Questioned further by my- self, the prime minister back- pedaled and said that what was being undertaken was "an economic investigation of the inter - relation between Quebec and the rest of the country."" He also referred to the fact Check Shows Diabetes Instantly TORONTO (CP)--The Inter- national Diabetes announced Sunday that a new | 'instant' blood testing process WEATHER FORECAST ou for the detection of diabetes has been developed. The federation said in a state- ment preliminary reports on the process indicate it is so "re- liable and simple" that national detection programs now become a possibility. The statement said a report on a diabetes survey in Britain Federation Dief Raps Split Study that the 'matter came up two or three weeks ago." What came up at that time was Mr. Scott's question on the effects of separation, repeated yesterday. Friday night, in a hurriedly- prepared statement, backed down further: "What I have asked for and what is now in the explora- tory stage in my office and the privy council office is a study of the economic inter- relations between the parts of the country." But this was the study which he hoped would prove that separation was "utter dis- aster."" DENIAL MADE Denying that the study has | to. do with separation, he hopes that it will show sep- aration to be disaster. That is the contradiction in | which he is enmeshed. We now have the govern- ment of Canada setting up a federal committee to study the consequences of dividing Canada The division of Canada by the removal of Quebec cannot be considered an appropriate subject for study by an offi- cial committee of the federal government, The committee should be immediately told to desist. Parliament must have full information in this matter. By what authority is the committee constituted in or- that by its. nature is anti-con- stitutional? To whom will it report?

He immediately turned us over to Mr. Markson. In. further reply to the column ("CITY DEBT"), Mr. Markson said he did not like the 'lumping together" of some statistics because "it is like putting the apples in with the oranges" -- for instance, he did not like lumping proposed 1964 figures with 1962 actual figures from Sudbury. and Kitchener, Forecasts issued by the Tor- onto weather office at 5:30 a.m. Synopsis: Weak circulation persists over most of southern Ontario and coo! air which moved in Saturday is warming up.

Such objection is reasonable; so we had our statistical department segregate "the apples from the oranges" statis- tically by obtaining Sudbury's total anticipated debenture debt, funded and unfunded, for 1964. The amount is $19,- 146,676, as compared with Oshawa's $24,256,000 -- Sudbury's percentage increase was 8.5 percent as compared with Osh- awa's 16.3. Such piecemeal statistics may prove little, but Mr. Markson knows that Oshawa's per capita debt total (year in and year out) is high on a comparative basis -- for in- stance, it was third highest in 30 Ontario cities in 1962 Neither does Mr. Markson strengthen his case by point- noon and evening. A slow warm- ing trend is expected in south- ern Ontario accompanied by sunny weather. Lake St. Clair, Windsor: Sunny and hot today and Tues- day.

DEBENTURE INTEREST ALONE $1,008,000 IN '63 Our debenture debt interest alone in 1963 was $1,008,000, a staggering amount for a City of 67,000. Mr. Markson said further that it was necessary to con- sider the need for debenture fund increases from "a finan- cial point of view." He added: "The need for these debenture increases has arisen for two reasons -- the population increase and also to take ad- vantage of the Municipal Works Assistance Program. These are two of the prime reasons for 16.3 percent increase, plus the heavy Education bill. This MWA Program enables the City, financially, to obtain a forgiveness of one-sixth of over-all capital costs of eligible projects. It also enables the City to repay annual payments of principal and interest on funded debt at a lesser rate of interest than would other- wise be obtained on debentures issues on public markets." Why is our population increase used as even a partial justification of our debenture. debt hike?; true, it is steady (about 2,000 per year) but it is not abnormal, as the following City Hall Assessed Population statics show: 1960--60,146; 1961 -- 61,542; 1962 -- 63,243; 1963 -- 65,677. (These do not poo the actual number of taxpayers.) City's taxable assessment jumped from $90,257,980 in 1960 to $244,681,920 in 1963, but ig the same period our Total Tax Roll only increased from $6,532,890 to $9,136,446. To give some idea of the number of new taxpayers here annually -- there were 798 new residential dwellings built in the five-month period from January-May, 1964, as compared with 193 for the same period last year. Mr, Markson's (and Council's) reasons for adding to the debt because of one-sixth forigveness clauses under the On- tari Municipal Works Assistance Program: sounds too much like the heavily-in-debt housewife who deliberately adds to her financial burdens. simply because some department store uses '"'greatly reduced prices' as a lure to break down sales resistance.
