PLEBISCITE DUE DECEMBER 7 The Ward System | Has Many By JOHN GAULT of The Times Staff The adoption or repeal of a Wards System of voting in any municipality should be governed by the nature of that municipality, L. R. Cum- ming, deputy-minister of mu- nicipal affairs, says. Oshawa electors will have the option of retaining their city-wide voting system for aldermen, or switching back . to the Wards System when they go to the polls Dec. 7. "When a city is expanding rapidly," Mr. Cimming con- tinued, "'it is difficult to as- sure that new -- are not ove: The question -- : "are you in favor of electing aldermen by wards instead of the general vote of the electors" -- was put on the ballot by City Coun- cil on the insistence, primar- ily through petition, of the pall Vista Ratepayers Asso- Mert Vista is a subdivision in the southwest section of the City, an area developed more than six years ago for resi- dential purposes. It is in Ward Five, which stretches the width of the City from Bloor street to Lake Ontario. Approximately 400 ratepay- ers signed the petition for a plebiscite, They live in dif- ferent parts of the city. According to Mr. Cumming, the confines of the present wards may be changed by a decision of the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board, at suggestion by either council or a group of 150 ratepayers. A LOOK AROUND In survey taken of the major cities of Ontario by the Department of Municipal Af- fairs, it was discovered that 18 vote on a city-wide system, while 14 vote on a Wards System. At present the 8,900 resi- - dents of Ward Five have one alderman and Mayor Lyman Gifford living in their pre- cints. Under a Wards System they would have two, and pos- sibly three members of Coun- cil, "When growth is rapid; es- pecially through annexation, it must be made sure that new people are not overruled by the central city," Mr. Cum- ming advises. NO FAVORITISM City Clerk L. R. Barrand says: "There is no favoritism now in Oshawa. The entire city is serviced equally." "The disadvantage of the wards system is the same as its advantage," says Mr. Cum- ming. "It can promote section- alism, and the elected repre- local councils have the option of reducing the number to two by passing a bylaw to that effect. It was the encumbrances of a-lange council that led to the discontinuance of the Wards System here in a plebiscite held in 1932. At that time, deep in: the Depression years, aldermen and ratepayers alike sought Council reform. One of the re- forms sought was the reduc- tion in number of aldermen, There were 15 aldermen at that time, serving five wards and a population of 23,002. At present there are 12 aldermen serving six wards and 70,038 people, Alderman P. A. Macdonald, who became Mayor in the same election, suggested in July of 1931, that each ward have one alderman, and that the whole city elect a board of control. COUNCIL OF 7 Alderman George Morris immediately suggested: "a council of seven or so men, elected by the city at large". Three weeks later, Alder- man Morris strengthened his position by showing an. un- equal distribution of popula- tion in the wards, Wards Two and Four were five times the population of Ward Five. (According to latest figure on population in Oshawa, Ward Four, with 19,734 peo- ple, is more than twice the size of Ward Two (9737), Ward Five (8900) and Ward Six (7780). It has 8500 more people than Ward One, and 7000 more than Ward Three.) The ratepayers of Oshawa, 1931, took up the cause of Wards System abolishment, and presented a 400-name pe- tition to Council on Sept. 24, asking that the question be put on the ballot of the 1932 elections. ides Included in the wording of the petition was the following comment: "The Wards Sys- tem, is cumbersome, and not conducive. to the efficient management of the City's business."" In .a subsequent forum, S. G. Carnell, a rate- payer in the North West Ward (Ward One) said: "City Council has been knocked for years, and no one who did it had the right, as he only elected the alder- men from his own ward. With citywide voting, the ratepay- ers would have the right to criticise."' An attempt to bring wards system ba-k in 1937 met with failure. OSHAWA IS GROWING With reference to Mr. Cum- ming's comments on "rapidly- growing areas" it must be pointed out that the popula- tion growth in Oshawa has been phenomenal. BREAKDOWN GIVEN The City has jumped near- ly 50,000 people since the in- cidents of 1931, and more than 20,000 in the last seven years. A one-year increase from 1963 to 1964 was ever 4700. Taxable assessment for the 1964 year has reached over the quarter-of-a-billion dollar mark. As was previously stated, a gross imbalance exists among the wards on a popu- election | lation basis. This problem is | not peculiar to Oshawa. Mr. Cumming points to areas in Metro Toronto which have 10 times the population of oth- ers, but the same representa- tion. Following is a breakdown of Oshawa's six wards, which in- cludes geographical position, population, assessment, as- sessment. nature, and num- ber of. resident aldermen: OSHAWA 'BY WARDS: TOTAL POPULATION 70,038 TOTAL ASSESSMENT -- $280,448,480 TAXABLE ASSESSMENT -- $253,534,570 (Simcoe Street Splits Four Central Wards) WARD six" Pop: 7780 Assessment: Nature: Aldermen: -- Rossland WARD ONE Pop: 11,223 Assessment: $30,031,845 Nature: Residential Aldermen: Two $25,682,745 Residential None Road -- ' WARD THREE Pop: 12,664 Assessment: $49,914,200 Nature: Res. -- Commercial Aldermen: Seven | Lynda Grant, Chest Drive $155,618 Canvass GM $155,618, Dick Fairthome, chairman, announced Canvassing at General Motons will start this week while re- turns from other industrial groups in Oshawa are now be- 'ing received.

ASSESSMENT HITS $280, 448,480 MARK Oshawa's population struggled over the 70,000 mark this year and the assessment hit $280,448,480. Finance chairman Ald. Wal- ter Branch described the pop- ulation increase as "one of the largest in recent years'. He said he was very happy' with the assessment total. Taxable increase for this year stands at $8,852,650 as of Sept. 30, compared to a 95,00 000,000 total at the same time last year, said Ald. Branch. : He assured council both totals will go t_ before the end of this year, These figures were compiled by Assessment Commissioner Gerry Mere- dith at the close of the assess- ment roll this year. With the revised assessment in 1961, totals rose 135 per cent to $222,939,840. Increase for 1962 was 3.61 per cent ($230,982,770); 1963 5.93 per eent., ($244,681,920); 1964 3.62 per cent ($253,534,570). Exempt increase total is $26,913.910, which, added to ¢j 132,185. This the 1964 total, gives the $280,- 448,480 grand 'total. Here are population in- creases: 1962 - 63,243, up 2.76 per-cent; 1963 - 65, 677, up 3.85 per cent; 1964 - 70,038, up 6.64 per cent.

The auditorium was originally scheduled to open Sept. 1 but the best guess is now Dec. 1, according to Ald. Branch. Op- erating costs are estimated at $280 per day, based on a six day week, he said. He said the Oshawa Generals Hockey Club executive have been "wonderful to deal with". He said a lot of people think the auditorium was built to ac- commodate them. "But we have the best deal of any arena in Ontario," he told council last night. Details will not be released until the contract is signed NO DEAL MADE Friday night wrestling is not scheduled for the auditorium, contrary to advertising which has been released by a local promoter, said Ald. Branch. He said the executive commit- tee has not yet been approach- ed officially by the promoter. Ald. Branch listed _ ticket prices for Junior A Hockey games: 1123 seats at $2 each; 1916 seats at $1.50; ¥ seats at $1.25; 1000 standing room at $1.25. All children -- $1. There will be no season's tickets sold this year. Oshawa General will play home games Tuesday nights, with seven home games slated for Saturday nights, said Ald.

Consideration of the question of whether or not to hold a plebiscite in Oshawa -was taken out of Council's hands by the petition. They passed the resolution 19-1 on ct. 7, 1963. : Should the Wards System be returned to Oshawa, it would not take effect until Jan. 1, 1967, It could not be voted out until three civic elections later, according to the Muni- cipal Act.
