COUNCIL TAKES NO ACTI Nelson Starr: "seems the height of extravagance.... Emergency Numbers Hospital 723-2211 Fire 725-6574 Police 725-1183 a Hae Be we cong be eat A Toronto lawyer told city council last night that to start building an expressway now in the Oshawa Creek Valley " , , , seems the eight ef foolhardy extra- vagance,"' Nelson §. Starr. represent- ing the Citizen's Committee for Creek Valley Conserva- tion, said if the Damas. and Smith Ltd, vehicle forecast to 1981 is accurate, the need for a valley roadway cannot arise until 1974, A standing room only crowd of about 70 persons, packed in the fifth floor city hall council chamber, heard Mr, Starr tell council it should implement the other 11 rec- ommendations in the Damas and Smith traffic planning report, He said these recommenda- tions, several involving street widenings, would handle pro- jected traffic vehicle in- creases in a north-south direc- tion until 1974, During the next nine years, he said, the city could determine if the projections were accurate, 'EXTRAVAGANCE' "Tt may well be that the city will grow in such a way that the expressway is an outmoded extravagance," said Mr. Starr, 'If the figures are correct, there will be nine years to determine if the pro jections are accurate before yh ts ae ony n pla Biny he the city indulges in an expen- diture it can ill afford at this time," Mr, Starr also said the Damas and Smith report erred in predicting a greater population increase in the northeast than to the north. wesi, He said planning board information shows the great- er increase will be to the northwest, Following Mr. Starr's 30- minute presentation and a question and answer period, council on Mayor Lyman Gifford's recommendation, de- cided to take no action until the Toronto lawyer submits a written brief based on his presentation, Mr. Starr said he could submit the brief in two weeks. "Ald, Clifford Pilkey said he would like to see N, E Damas, project director for the 1961 traffic study and Mr. Starr, discuss the report and Mr, Starr's statements at a future council meeting. NO ARGUMENT Ald, Pilkey said as a lay- man he could not refute Mr. Starr's statements and that his questions rightly belong to the author of the report. He also said that from lis- tening to Mr, Damas, it was his impression that the valley route from Wentworth st., to the central business district was a necessity in the next five years and that the north portion would not be under construction until the early. 1970's, Mr, Starr said he would attend the meeting proposed by Ald. Pilkey but no action was taken by council, pend- ing the receipt of Mr. written brief, The Toronto lawyer said $000 persons from all areas of the city have signed @ petition opposing the express- way in the valley. "By the time the battle is really pitched we expect 6000 to 10,000 will have signed the petition," said Mr, Starr, Mayor Gifford said he "re- sented" Mr. Starr's statement that the city could "ill afford" to build the valley route, He asked Mr, Starr if he was an economist, The lawyer replied that he was not, The mayor said he would not take Mr, Starr's judgment on whether the city could or could not afford to build the roadway, "T assumed you wouldn't take my judgment on any- thing," retorted Mr, Starr, drawing applause from the spectators. The mayor warn- ed spectators about the ap- plause demonstration and said he would clear the chamber if it happened again. Later in the meeting Ald Richard Donald asked Mr, a. ae " Dhe Oshorwa.

The Toronto lawyer asked council if it had sought the opinions of the Conservation Authority, the Water Re- sources Commission, the re- gional planning board, and the community planning ciation on the expressway, The mayor's answer to each was "no," The mayor's answer was also 'no' to Mr, Starr's question if council had con- sidered any other method of municipal transportation, Mr, Starr asked if any land would be rezoned for the expressway. Mayor Gif. ford said final reports on the route's location have not been received by council but that there might be the "odd re- zoning."

R, J, Heard, 41 Sandra st. w., told council the vibrations are created by Houdaille Industries Ltd, presses, and cause doors and windows in homes to shake, He also said the nerves of area residents are "on edge" and that it is practically impossible to get "one night of good sleep"'. Council referred the matter to the public works committee for investigation, EARLIER COMPLAINT Earlier this year a similar complaint was received by coun- cil. In August, the parks, prop- erty and recreation committee reported that Houdaille Indus- tries had been contacted by a member of council and "the company has assured us that they are making every effort to correct any problem they may e use of this money to pur- chase goods from any company that is involved in a labor dis- in the past has been concluded ino policy established, therefore, we would urge that a policy be Get Expert For Probe, Suggests City Official Mr. Heard said last night there has been no improvement in the vibration situation, espe- cially now that the ground is getting harder with colder weather, NO BYLAW He asked if the city had a bylaw to regulate the type of machinery installed by a come pany. Ald. Hayward Murdoch, chairman of the parks, property committee, said this matter had been checked and there is no bylaw. Ald. Thomas asked if the city had a machine which could dig down in the ground to deter- mine what was carrying the vibrations. Fred Crome, city works com- missioner, said the transmission of vibrations is an exact science and that he was not qualified to investigate, He suggested if council wanted an investigation it should consider hiring an ex- established as quickly as pos- pert.

The ODLC urged that "'neces- isary action" be taken as quickly as possible to establish low ren- tal housing. Ald, Reardon said she has been in continuous contact with the housing corporation and the lreason for the delay in getting started is that "suitable land at a reasonable price is most difficult to find" She said the council commit- Primary School Teache 'To Take Winter Lectures A series of six lectures will be given here during the winter in an introductory "school sup- ervision and administration" course for elementary school The computer revolution goes| marching on, One of its latest and most interesting applica- tions is to be found right here in the city, Ontario Data Processing, Sim- coe st. s., is the first privately- owned company in Canada to offer a 'computerized' ac- counting service. Under the leadership of Rob- ert Clancy, whose accounting business has been established in the city for some years, the new firm goes into operation next month with $300,000 worth of computer equipment, The equipment is rented from the manufacturer. Into it the firm .will be hoping to put the accounts of hundreds of Ontario businesses. "It will handle anything from the accounts of a small corner store to the accounts of the big- gest of industries," explained Mr, Clancy, STREAMLINE Basically the machinery will streamline accounting proce- dures, Chief salesman, and a partner in the firm, William Rees ex- plained it this way: "Right now an accountant may take five days to process a client's ac count, We can process the same tee has been told a great deal of red tape has now been cut out of negotiations between the city, the housing corporation and Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation and that once land has been made available there should be considerably less delay on the part of the senior governments in getting started on construction, At present 18 family units are under construction on Lomond st, There are 42 units on Chris- jtine cres, Council in April asked the) housing corporation to provide) 35 family and 30 senior citizen housing units, The request fol- lowed a housing corporation sur- lvey of the need for additional \housing units in the city, jday, Noy, 16, starting at 7.20 p.m, The speaker will be W.
