Premier Robarts said if the province does question concerning integration The city should be fighting the Ontario. government to permit stacking of pension plans, Ald. Clifford Pilkey told members of council last night "Our employees should be given justice in regard to pen- sions," he said. "The Canada Pension will be of no benefit to them if it is integrated." USE PUBLIC MONEY "Should we be using the pub- lic's money to fight integration | in the courts?" asked Mayor Lyman Gifford. "Yes," replied Ald. Pilkey. Council confirmed a council- in-committee decision of last week to stack the CPP with the existing Standard Life Plan as of. Jan. 1. Stacking means that the 1.8 per cent CPP deduction will be made in addition to the 5 per cent Standard Life deduction. Ald.

Residents have, on several occasions, asked council to do something about the vibrations which they say are caused by presses at Houdaille Indus- tries. Earlier month Anthony Camilleri, 968 Ritson rd. s., ask- ed council to do something about the vibrations. At that time Ald. Norman Down suggested the complaint be referred to a com- mittee so members -could visit the area to hear the vibrations for themselves The parks, property and rec- reation committee recommend- ed last night that Mr. Camillari be advised that the city has ne authority in the matter. The recommendation was approved without comment Similar recommendations by the parks, property and public works committees were ap proved earlier. this year Three Hurt In Two-Car Smash Three people were taken to Oshawa General Hospital yes- terday after collision this s two-car y Adelaide ave Ly} 3 \ r driven by Royal.

Rising Housing Costs Brief Sparks Meeting Pre-servicing Costs 'Alarm' Developers proved additional service pre payments in its subdivision agreement. At that time it was estimated that the additional pre-payments would amount to $750 on the average 50-foot fron- tage lot, "In the past, the pre-servicing charges have been presented by municipal spokesmen under the guise of saving the taxpay- ers money," said Mr. Goldman, ag written brief read to coun- cil. 'UNFAIR BURDENING' "The true effect has been an unfair burdening of some tax- payers with a much larger than their fair share of the cost+of municipal growth and redevel- opment. Because of the spirgl- ling costs, a large segment of our population are unable 4s afford the purchase of a new home," Mr. Goldman said if regula- tions and charges on apartment development are approved many citizens will be unable to afford adequate rental accom- modation. He said road maintenance, garbage collection, police and fire protection costs would "amount: to "thousands of dal- lars per year more" for the sit gle family community as " pared to the apartment compiéx with the same number of units.
