Tomorrow the views of aldermanic candidates con- cerning changes in civic ad- ministration will be pub- lished Following in alphabetical order are the replies to the question regarding the City Manager question: Ald. Gordon B. Attersley: "I do not favor any extension of the Director of Operations' re- sponsibility at the present time. We have not had an opportu- nity to assess the results of this operation. The Director of Oper- ations is responsible for oper- ating departments only and additional responsibility would involve administration -- these are two different fields of en- deavor. In western Canada they have a system that I would like to see studied -- that is the Commissioner Syhtem. They have a Commissioner of Finance and a Commissioner of Works; each an expert in his own field. There would be great difficulty in securing a person expert in both fields." Ald. Cecil Bint: "No."" Ald. John Brady: "No, I do not! The Wood-Gordon Report did not recommend such & course of action. In those few cities in Ontario which have City Managers, there does not seem to be as good a relation- ship between the elected people and the City Manager's power group of bureaucrats as there is in those communities which do not have a City Manager. The one - hundred - word limitation placed on answers prevents a suitable answer to this 'ques- tion." John DeHart: "With the pop- ulation of Oshawa expected to surpass the 100,000 mark with- in 10 years, and with complex problems such as regional plan- ning, it is my firm belief that either a full time City Manager or a Board of Control will be a necessity in order to have a well-organized city. In the near future, more 'day' meetings will be required in order to bandle the influx of city busi- ness. Oshawa is no longer & amall town but a vastly grow- ing city, and we must attack this problem in a business-like manner, so that we may get the maximum mileage with our) assessment dollar." | Richard H. Donald; ~ 'The Director of Operations in Osh- awa is a fairly new position and I understand from some of the members of the present council Ald. A. Hayward Murdoch: "At the present time I do not favor any expansion of the Di- rector of Operations' position to that of a City Manager form of government, It may be that the day will come when my think- ing must be revised in this matter, but my experience is that fhe citizens on the street still rely on the elected repre- sentatives in many respects. to in your question encompass different spheres of operation.' Ald, Clifford G. Pilkey: "I am not in favor of any expansion of responsibilities towards a City Manager form of government. What we should be considering in our rapidly-expanding city is a fulltime mayor. His job would be to co-ordinate all de- partments in the city as well as look after our day to day prob- lems. We should also in the very near future explore the feasibility of a Board of Con- trol type of government for Oshawa." Ald.

When we find that the Director of Operations has improved the efficiency of the departments he now es, then I feel the responsibilities of this man ean be and that the eity will benefit as @ result, Ald. Normaii Down: "In some eases a City Manager form of ernment may be desirable, ever this would depend largely on the individual cir- cumstances of a municipality and the individual selected for the position. Much considera- tion in Oshawa's case would have to be given to this form of local government and the du- ties and responsibilities of an administrative manager would have to be thoroughly thrashed out before conclusions could be reached. Also the experience of other municipalities with this system should be investigated. Jan Drygala: 'I feel that I would need a wider study of =~ question before comment- ng." Ald. John Dyer: "I believe that the Director of Operations at the present time has been given a full and free hand by ony council to carry out his full responsibilities in the task we hired him to perform and I do not betieve that an expan- sion of his 'responsibilities to- ward a City Manager form of government for Oshawa is de- sirable, or, for that matter, re- motely necessary."

I believe that is what our Direc- tor of Operations has been hired for, so that he should be given more expansion and look after all parts of the city businesses where they conflict with other department heads. I feel there should be Jess chiefs and more Indians," George C. Martin: 'Yes, I do favor expansion of the Director of Operations' responsibilities toward a City Manager form of government.
