Mayor Lyman Gifford told council Dr. C. C. Stewart, médi- cal officer of health, has agreed to move his health department to the board of education-owned, vacant, mental health unit build- ing at 179 Simcoe st. s. And, the mayor, after leaving the council meeting and talking to board trustees, came back with the news that the board would rent the building to the city for the nominal sum of $1 a year. After the meeting Mayor Gif- ford told The Times, the health department move would solve the space problem for the "'im- mediate future'. He also said The one-way street system is "working well', says Ald. John Brady, council's traf- fic committee chairman. "It's working much better than I' had hoped," he told The Times after last night's council meeting. Ald. Brady said he surveyed the system several times yesterday. "Oshawa is the Isst, major city in the province to insti- tute a one-way system," said the alderman. Robert Richardson, city traffic engineer, said he was "reasonably pleased' with the operation of the system.

Toronto Firm Wins Contract A $290,723 structural steel con- tract for the new $3,000,000- secondary school on Harmony rd, was awarded to Toronto Iron Works Ltd., last night by the Oshawa Board of Education. The lowest of four tenders, it was originally set at $284,723 but a Toronto Iron spokesman said a mistake was made which would cost the company $15,000. The firm agreed to abide by the first bid and move the com- pletion date ahead from Janu- uary to October if the board! would agree to pay an extra! $6000.

SQPOILER DOVE Thomas Raises Questions © Over Bolahood Appointmen 'ONE WAY 'WORKING WE Ald. Christine Thomas asked last night if city council has appointed a $40,000 a year man", She was referring to council's action on June 7 appointing Lloyd Bolahood, real estate agent and consultant, on a $200 monthly retainer and a fee basis of $125 per day, to conduct appraisals and negotiations for properties being expropriated by the city. At council last night Ald. Thomas fired four questions at Ald. Hayward Murdoch, parks, property and recreation com- mittee chairman, who recom- mended the appointment. She wanted to know: --Which committee budget Mr. Bolahood's fees will come from?; --How long is his appoint- for "getting men down into the middle of fires." He said that the machines cost at least $80,000 and are custom made. The boom and platform are carried on a 30 foot long fire truck, which also carries axes, ladders and other fire fighting equipment. Before the boom is raised the base is braced by four outrigger type hydraulic jacks. : The boom also carries a two- way communications system, air lines for oxygen re-fuelling and spot light cables. When the truck is*tied up with a water pumping system a top capacity of 1,000 gallons per minute, at 100 pounds pressure, can be directed from the tower.

"The board is most desirous! of obtaining school sites in the| area of the airport and respect-| fully requests that it be inform-| ed. by council of any action be- ing taken, or to be taken in future, to dispose of any of the airport property," wrote the board, The letter was referred to the parks: property and recreation committee, Two weeks*ago the separate school board asked council to relinquish its lease of 0 acres of airport property as the board wants. to purchase the land! from the federal government-as a site for an elementary school and administration office. testing" the Shift in, responsi- bility, was approved by council. | The OWRC "strongly urged" in its letter that control by municipal ordinance be imple- mented and where this has not| yet been done, it is recommend- ed that a suitable sewer-use by-| law be enacted and enforced.

Marzell Widmaier and Kurt Kister, both of Wesel, West Ger- many, spent two weeks in the city surveying business and housing development sites around town. They were guided by their brother-in-law, Eric Hansink, an Oshawa 'builder. Mr. Hansink, an Oshawa resi- dent for the past. nine years, said the two visitors "are inter- - ested in property development. They could: bring hundreds of thousands of 'dollars into the city.

Murdoch, said Mr. Bolahood felt it would take about two months to get the job done; that the $200 retainer fee prevented any possible conflict of interest (Mr. Bolahood could not accept any none-city private job offers to negotiate with the city em any property expropriation); and that Mr. Bolahood would report to Mr. Kennedy who would re- port to the parks property com- mittee. ne Fred Crome, city engineer, at the -June 7 meeting, said the cost of appraisals and negotia- tions is included in the cost of the road . widening projects, which are subsidized by the | was the same as Mr. Vickery's letter, which was referred to a committee.

He also asked who set the fee and said the $125 a day is 'quite a sufficient fee without a re- tainer"'. He also asked what de- termines a day's work. ae Stiti mame" INVESTMENT OF West German marks in Oshawa's booming economy is a possi- bility fgllowing a fact-finding missi@by two German busi- nessmen.
