Pollutio Report Sought By Aldermen % -- = A report on air pollution, particularly the discharge of all chimneys of large buildings, has been requested by city council. An Oshawa and District Labor Council letter urging council to have the city's air pollution inspector check chimneys was referred to the public works committee, with a copy sent to Dr. J.E. Watt, supervisor or environmental sanitation and air pollution officer for a re- rt. Pexeith Ross, secretary-treas- urer, on behalf of the labor council, asked that if the chim- ney pollution is found to be detrimental to materials and health that the necessary steps stalled to stop the pollution. Another labor council letter, asking council to support a la- bor council letter to the Mini- ster of Transport recommending that flasher signals be install- ed at intersections to eliminate train whistles, was received and filed. Ald. Hayward Murdoch, chair- man of council's parks, prop- erty and recreation committee, said every effort has been made on previous occasions to elimin- ate train whistle problems, Mayor Lyman Gifford said the labor council'sletter should have been sent to the Board of Transprot Commis- nals at train crossings, rather than the Minister of Transport. be taken to have equipment in- Tax Collection Fine: Collector | CLARENCE COX Tax Collector 99.73 percent of the 1965 Tax -Levy has been collected from the Current levy and Arrears of Realty and Business taxes collectible. : Over 11 and one-half million dollars ($11,585,000) in realty |arrears) have been collected out /of $11,868,649 collectible (after |the court of revision allowances |and other reductions totalling $47,417 were deducted.)

After the 1966 tax rate is set by council -- probably late in March -- tax payments will be adjusted on the final two installments to reflect a change, if any, in the mill rate and will include any extra charges such as local improvements. The penalty for late pay- ment of taxes on the first two instalments is one-half of one percent each month. On the after-interim bills, the last two instalments, the penalty is one percent each month. A bylaw providing for an interim tax levy of 50 percent of the taxes, based on the 1965 tax rate, was passed. The first installment of 1966 taxes for taxpayers in wards four, five and six is due Feb. 11 and in wards one, two and three, Feb. 18. The second installment for wards four, five and six is due April 8, and for wards one, two and three, April 15.

This could be a matter of life or death for somebody with O Negative blood who might be rushed to the hospi- tal in an emergency. "It might be too late to rush the blood from Toronto.

In other words, if Oshawa gets a community college, there will be no direct cost to the city munity college for that municl- pality, Mr. Roberts said. With Trent University in | Peterborough, Oshawa could be in trouble if the regents accept the idea of a 50-mile radius of influence . (drawing area for students) for each of the cole leges. STRONG POINT Mr. Roberts thinks the fact that Oshawa (Ontario's eighth largest city) has no education- al facilities above the second- ary school level is the city's strongest argument. taxpayer. Reason for the local activity is that 11 of 14 regents from across the province were named last week by Education Minister Wil- liam Davis. These men will decide what municipalities will get the 15 to 25 community colleges' expected City Industrial Commissioner James P. Williams, who will attend the meeting today, says the city's growth is resulting in an increasing inflow of people who come here for business, shopping and recreation facill- ties.

Although curriculum arrange- ments are not rigid, it has been reported that the colleges will accept Grade 12 and Grade 13 graduates as well as non-gradu- ates over 19 who can meet cer tain, set requirements. Mr. Roberts has said that Osh- awa has the highest concentra- tion of population in Ontario with no post-high school services available. None of the regents named is from the Oshawa area. One, a power in its own right and the need for such a college is evident. Mr. Williams points out that Oshawa is showing one of the fastest growth-rates in Canada today. With the great demand for technically - skilled persons on the labor market today, the need for educational facilities te satisfy that demand becomes imperative.

Same Tenders Sparks Donald Blacklist Idea Ald. Richard Donald says he will introduce a motion at the next city council meeting to in- form three companies which submitted identical bids on a pipe contract that their tenders will not be accepted, until fur- ther notice. "Some steps should be taken to obtain competitive bids which would result in savings to the city," Ald. Donald told The Times today. Three companies submitted identical $14,517.70 tenders on a concrete pipe contract at Mon- day's council meeting. Ald. Donald said he contacted city purchasing agent William Crompton today and learned that Mr. Crompton is preparing a report, which in part will deal with ways to overcome identical tenders. But Ald. Donald said since the report is not completed he will introduce his motion at the next council meeting, Jan. 17. He said a precedent for his motion is the provincial govern- } } ing' several companies for fixed bidding on a road con- tract. Ald.
