Building TORONTO (Special) -- Pick- ering township has been given Municipal Board approval to spend $300,000 on a municipal building without a public vote. The township had applied to the OMB for an order: Approving the construction of @ municipal building at an esti- mated cost of $300,000; Approving the issue of deben- tures for $225,000 for construc- tion costs, repayable over a term of 20 years; Declaring that the assent of the township electors or those qualified to vote on money by- laws was not required for the passing of bylaws covering the construction and debenture is- gue. A public hearing was held by the OMB in Brougham on Nov. 20, At that time the board re- served its decision. Objections to the township ap- plication came from a former reeve, two members of the pres- ent population of the township is 24,000 "and it has been esti- mated that in 15 years it will have reached 80,000."

There are ly result in the loss of the major grant on the work and complete presentation of such a project to the electors would be very difficult," the Board stated. The township council. planned to undertake the project after securing approval under the Act, thereby getting the benefit of a forgiveness of $50,000 of the loan. Undertaken as a win- ter works project, a further grant of $25,000 would be forth- coming. The township has land near Highway 2 available for a site.

"The separation of various de- partments makes for less effi- cient administration, and this the population increases and the residents make more demands on their municipal officials," the Board said. It continued: "The problems mentioned by the objectors as reasons for their opposition are not unusual are not confined to this town- ship.'At any future date or per- iod there will be a list of works which are considered necessary and council will have to decide the order in which they will be undertaken. There will also be the question of organization and The present building was built "it provided y lines.

Basis of their objections was: The. application was prema- ture; there had been discussion of separation of the urban area from the remainder of the township and the future was uncertain; taxes were too high and this would be an umnece- sary expenditure; there were more pressing needs, such as sewers and schools. The objectors wanted the mat- ter submitted to a vote of the electors. In the Municipal Board's judg- ment, the present accommoda- _ tion is inadequate, the expen- diture proposed by the township council is reasonable, and the timing to take advantage of the available grants -- estimated at 25 per cent of the total cost -- is important.

A spokesman for Hayes Steel Ltd., of Merriton, near St. Cath- erines, said today that share- holders of the company were informed Friday that H. E. Kerr Industries Ltd., had been taken over by Hayes Steel. Company representa tives! were not available for com-| ment this morning. | Malcolm Smith, international | representative of .the United Auto Workers, said today that the 17 men were out on strike in an effort to win higher wage rates. "Compared with the rates paid by industry in this area," he said, "the wages paid at Kerr Industries are miserable." He said that laborers were paid $1.25 per hour and that pay cheques for some workers were less than $40 for a week's work. Mr. Smith stated that nego- tiations had followed the course outlined by the Ontario Labor Relations Act. "We went through conciliation procedures, and had the sanction of the in- ternational union before we call- ed the strike," Mr. Smith stated. "The company has agreed to seniority, grievance procedures and vacation clauses in the con- tract," Mr. Smith continued, Secretary-manager Reviews Year's Work Of The CofC "but we cannot get together on the wages issue." Mr. Mann said. "Some other courses offered by the Depart- ment include: marketing for service businesses and retail management. The secretary-treasurer said that the visitors and convention committee, chaired by Mrs. M. Martin, had co-operated with a number of organizations in arranging conventions in the city. "All this was part of the pro- gram to bring more visitors to Oshawa," Mr. (Mann said. "Con- vention delegates each got a convention kit on Oshawa and organized tours were arranged when requested." Mr. Mann explained that the chamber secretariat serves as an information centre for Osh- awa and distributed thousands of brochures 'during the year. The chamber staff also handles letters of enquiry regarding in- formation about the city. "The Canadian Automotive accounting|small businessman in operating)/Museum, a project of the Osh- of Commerce, has been responsible for attract- ing many visitors to the city;" Mr. Mann said. Mayor Gifford said Oshawa is in far better shape financially than one year ago. He said the city is. retiring $15,000 more in debentures each year than the total amount of debentures be- ing accumulated. CONSIDER REQUESTS He said he was going to con- sider 'pretty heavily' the re- quests of the Board of Educa- tion before turning them down. He said he was not an expert on education and would rely heavily on Board decisions, but would not necessarily agree with them. Each candidate, in alphabeti- cal order, was given four min- utes to speak. A question period followed the speeches. Excerpts from each speech and answers to questions follow: Ald. Gordon Attersley said he was not in favor of the ward system. He said the city should first progress to the board of control system. Ald, Attersley reviewed the work of council committees on which he was @ member. Ald, Cecil Bint said he had served for six years on the Board of Education and = "I don't think council should inter- fere with their work -- you the tee during the past two years. Ald. John Brady said the new type of city administration, recommended in the Woods- Gordon report, should be given time to mature so council can find out through trial and error if it is effective, He said money is being better spent now that the city has a purchasing agent and that the new position of parks, property and recreation director has streamlined city administration. Ald. Brady said he has been traffic and trans- portation committee chairman for four years and said traffic continues to be the number one problem in the city. John DeHart, said if elected he would advocate unison be- tween council and the Board of Education, "which is lacking now;" enlargement of the in- dustrial commission; and more co-operation between the engi- neer, the director of operations and council. Mr. DeHart. said he favored the ward system of voting. NEW APPROACH ' R. H. Donald said with the tremendous growth of the city it.is not an easy task to keep up with the problems and find sat- isfactory solutions. He said he was running for council because he felt he has the ability to deal with some of the problems, "I ne has the desire to serve Osh- awa. "I have ideas which I feel could be constructive," he said. SOLVE PROBLEM George Martin said developers told him Sunday that $30,000 to $50,000 homes and a large luxury apartment complex are planned for the Lake Vista area. He said he didn't know all the Lake Vista problems but would be willing to listen and help solve them. He said he was ve- hemently opposed to the one- way street system as proposed because it would hurt King street merchants. Ald. A. H. Murdoch said he felt council has tried to solve the problems of all the city in- cluding those presented by Lake Vista residents. He said there is no part of the city which could not be improved. He congratu- lated the Vista Association for its interest. Ald. Cliff Pilkey said he op- posed the ward system. He said the Oshawa and District Labor Council, of which he is president, made a thorough investigation of the pros and cons of the ward system bul found the defects badly outweighed the good points. He said the city will have to do something about low- coast housing as rents in the existing housing are too high. He said he strongly supported believe a new approach to new (problems is needed," he said. Ald. Norman D own said he has been a resident of Oshawa all his life and has watched the city grow and double in size. He said he is concerned with the tax rate and the city's debt but said many services have taxpayers elect them. He said|been provided and money has he was chairman of the works committee and reviewed the Two Council Meets Slated (Mayor Lyman Gifford sdid in an interview today two regular City Council meetings are plann- ed 'for next month as well as a council-in-committee meeting. The regular meetings are slated for Dec. 8 and 21. The committee meeting Dec. 9 has been called to discuss Oshawa centennial project, them ayor said. Mr. Gifford said aldermen, members of civic organizations): and department heads who went to Toronto to look at swimming pools will be asked to state their views at this committee meeting.

Jan Drygala sald the line should be held on city taxes although he said he was not say- ing taxes could be reduced. He said when people beautify their homes, taxes go up and said this is wrong. Ald. John Dyer said the city's tax rate is not high enough to keep pace with the city's pro- gress.. "Members of council lack the intestinal fortutude to set a tax rate that willl do the job," he said. As an example, he predicted big traffic jams at the new Civic Centre because Gibb street was not extended three quarters of a mile to Thornton road. He called rumors that the new type of city administration has not had a chance to prove itself "malicious nonsense." He said he strongly opposed the ward system and said in his opinion, the worst thing a council aspir- ant could do is attempt to give a platform. Ald. Cephas Gay said he would offer no promises to vot- ers but said he would work conscientiously and faithfully in the city's interests. Douglas Gower said he would make any promises. but low-cost housing with low rents. Ald, Alice Reardon said she spent a busy and interesting year on council, She said she re- ceived quite a few complaint calls which she investigated and then reported to the proper city departments. Mrs. Margaret Shaw said she hoped taxpayers weuld remem- ber the "sound economical but progressive measures on educa- tion," she advocated while a Board of Education truatee. She said she was running for coun- cil because she felt she could serve the city more effectively on council. Mrs. Shaw said the debenture debt is "alarming" and it was the first problem that must be solved. Her solu- tion to the debt she said was "greater economy." GREATEST AMOUNTS Alex Shestowsky said educa- tion costs are the greatest amount in the city's budget and that an immediate request should be made to the provin- cial government to assume more responsibility for the costs. He said he was in favor of the ward system. Rene Thiebaud said he has heard a lot of complaints about city administration, especially the works department. He said council needs some younger members. Mrs. Christine Thomas said she was not blaming the present council for the capital debt but said the new council must take "'a long, long look at future ex- their must be close co-operation between council and the Board of Education. Mrs. Thomas said taxpayers should not. pay any attention to promises, as Mayor Gifford two years. ago promised MAYOR GIFFORD that the mill rate would 'be stabilized. and the . capital. debt reduced. She said the promise was' made by a-"'polititian, not an administrator." ' Mrs. Thomas. refereed to the Christine Crescent low - rental housing project which she said she channeled through council despite opposition: She . said rents afe too:high but that this was the fault .of the province which set rents, not. the city. Mrs, Thomas, asked. what the city pays in: insurance. premi- ums, said she did not know the exact figures but suggested Ald. Murdoch could answer the ques- tion because 'he is one of the underwriters." RAPS COUNCIL Ernest Whiting said only Ald. Dyer has criticized the present council and that the other alder- men seemed to be standing pat on their records with no new ideas or suggestions for solving the city's. problems. He said he favored the ward system. Douglas Wilson said if council had all the taxes in the world they would want just a little more taxes. He said property taxes. should not be spent on education and said the province and big business, which bene- fits from education should pay the education costs. Edward Zalewski said if elec- ted he would strive to work for all the people. He said hard work can solve city problems, attract new industry and help Oshawa.progress. Finley Dafoe said it was a matter of regret that he was not a candidate but he said younger people, who are going penditures."' Past councils, she said, neglected to do work that to have to pay the ever increas- ing debt, should be given a chance on council. ® Gary Shortt, 10, of 1136 Rit- son road south, has won 14 merit badges in his two years { with the 26th Oshawa Cub Pack, The son of Mr. and Albert J.
