FIFTH DAY The hearing enters its fifth day today to complete testi- mony. against an application to the OMB by the township seek- ing permission to amend the official plan which "would allow the council to rezone 700 acres of agricultural land for indus- trial use. The St. Mary's Cement Com- pany owns the 700 acres in the south-west corner of the town- ship, bounded by- Lake Ontario, the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway and the Bowmanville Town limits, Mrs. Lawrence Mason, wife of a Bowmanville lawyer, intro- duced the petition as evidence. She said that it had been cir- culated on behalf of the Better Devélopment Committee, a group of ratepayers interested in the area. IN FAVOR William Thiesburger, a town- ship resident, said that he was in favor of the plant because its taxes would help to reduce his taxes, He said that it would be the first major industry in the township in 21 years. Complaints about destruction of natural amenities by de- velopment of the plant and quarries were also heard from _ Next To GM: Taxpayer _ |George Riggers, who lives near the plant site. | He said that he moved into {Darlington Township from Osh- |quarry complex was received) awa "to get away from the city and let my children grow up breathing fresh air in better surroundings." "If the cement plant is allow- ed to come here there will be dust, noise, heavy traffie and we will be living beside a pit. We would have been better off living beside General Motors," he said. Mr. Riggers said his house and property, for which he paid /$14,000 a year ago, would de- jerease in value to about $3,000 lif the OMB grants the applica- | tion. |WOULDN'T HAVE MOVED He said he wouldn't have |moved if he had known about the St. Mary's plan. He testi- fied the previous owner sold him the house without telling him. Evidence at the hearing re- vealed the company and town- lship have been negotiating for more than two years. The hearing is before the board's vice-chairman. David Jamieson and W. T. Shrives, an OMB member. The hearing was told earlier that the company intends to construct an initial plant at a cost of $15,000,000 to produce 1,500,000 barrels of cement an- nually. Further plant expansion would hike production to 4,500,- 000 barrels a year, which would jincrease the company's: invest- | ment to $30,000,000. 4 A new wrinkle in the city's budget last year has become a permanent fixture. City council has decided to raise $376,000 in the 1966 tax levy and add it to the Civic Property Development Reserve Fund, HALF-MILL LEVY The fund was established last year to provide money for acquiring land and _ buildings and for constructing new build- ings for civic purposes. A one-half mill tax levy and the consolidation of separate reserve funds got the fund |started. Proceeds from the sale of civic properties were added during the year. The opening fund balance Tax Levy Wrinkle Takes Hold Here this year was $174,000 (revenue, | $316,000 less expenditures, $142,- 1/000). A $376,000 tax levy and estimated revenues including highway subsidies and pro- ceeds from 'the sale of city properties will boost the bal- jance to $696,000. SIX EXPENDITURES ' Six proposed expenditures to- talling $361,000 will leave the fund with a balance of $335,000, subject to other property trans- jactions during the year. the... proposed expenditures: are for: the Legion Hall and property; Queen st., property; an Olive ave., parking lot; a greenhouse; part of the cost of the new east end fire station; and street opening land pur- chases, lof council's traffic and public} UP 'N Fourteen - year - old Alex Rogatinsky is shown above as he turns the tables on Leo Haunsberger, his judo instructor, at the Maple Leaf Judo Club. Alex, a judo junior brown belt, has won the Southern Ontario Judo championship in the under-14 bracket. Third OVER place in the ten-year-old group was won by Eddie Varga of Oshawa, a mem- ber of the Maple Leaf jun- ior division. Mr. Hauns- berger, one of the founders of the local judo club, is a third degree black belt and a national director of judo in Canada.:; A steering committee which will seek support for .a credit conselling service in Oshapa has been formed by represen- tatives of social welfare agen- cies, city unions, religious groups and credit organizations. It came into being as the re- sult of a meeting at the Auto Workers Creit Union building to discuss the problems of those ee in financial difficul- es. FIRST CHAIRMAN Maurice Hatt, of the Oshawa Credit Bureau, was elected chairman of the community which will seek support and community endorsement of the project. The aims of the counselling service would be to: provide debt counselling, assistance in debt consolidation, and educa- tion in the uses and abuses of credit; Seek the co-operation of mer- chants, banks, lepfing institu- tions, public offclals, public and private agencies, organiza- tions and associations, to fur- ther the aims of the service; Credit Agency Body For City? Promote thrift, and the use of budgets for those in finan- cial difficulties, and give guid- ance with an emphasis on the use of consumer credit; Conduct educational projects to acquaint the public with the proper uses of credit and pro- pose corrective and remedial measures, where necessary, in- cluding governmental action; And to act as an intermediary between debtors and directors in arranging the orderly pay- ment of debts and, where nec- essary, to act as trustee for the distribution of payment to creditors. : Those attending the meeting were: Mr. Hatt; Barnard Lewis, Children's Aid Society; Harold McNeill, Simcoe Hall Settlement House; Herbert Chesebrough, City Welfare Director; Clifford Pilkey, Oshawa and District Labor Council; Major Holmes, Salvation Army; Jack Mann, Chamber of Commerce; Mrs, Kathleen Guselle, Oshawa So- cial Planning Council; William Howie, Auto Workers Credit Union. Ambulance service in Osha- wa will cost taxpayers almost $80,000 this year. Although the city ambulance department budget, approved by council, shows an estimated net operating deficit of $5,200, it is not a true picture of the cost. Ald. John Brady, chariman safety committee, says salaries paid to eight firemen who work full-time for the ambulance de- partment and eight firemen who work about half-time for the am- bulance department, are char- ged to the fire department bud- get. , Ald. Brady said salaries char- ged to the ire department to- tal about $73,000. Salaries of firemen, $12,000, which are' in- cluded in the ambulance depar- Ambulance Tab $80,000 But Examine That Total tment budget, involve only the time they actually spend on calls. Estimated fee revenue in 1966 is $18,000 for the three-ambu- lance department. A new sched- ule of fees approved early this year is expected to boost re- venue from the $15,500 collicted last year. Schools Get Hike Provincial Grants" BURFORD; Ont. (CP)--Pro- | vincial grants to school boards will increase'by more than $50,- 000,000 in the21966-67 fiscal year to a total of $283,400,000, On- tario Treasurer James Allen said Thursday night. hospital is looking forward to the building of its new 200-bed extension Work on this multi-million dollar project is due to start in the summer of 1967 with a massive fund raising drive open- ing early in the year In 1965, states the hospital an- nual report, patients spent-a total of 156,126 in the hospital, a sharp drop of 6,263 of the year before SUBSTANTIAL LIST Despite this drop in the num- ber of patients days, however, the hospital was not able to make any deep inroads into its substantial waiting list. In fact, the number of pat- lents admitted last year was way down on the figure for 1964 The comparative figures were 16,893 for 1965 against 17,419 for the year before In Shears with les days spent in the hospital, the muaber of patients admitted patients CLOSE WARDS "During the summ er months', explained assistant administrator [an Mitchell, "'we have to close down some wards because we haven't got the nurses to staff them_. Last summer the problem was a little worse than usual. Our staff of nurses want to take their vacations in the summer and we haven't got the staff to replace them on the wards" Another contributory factor was the continuing drop in the number of maternity cases Last year 2,516 babies were born at the hospital. This was a drop of 231 on the year be- fore. It was also lower than the figure for 1963. "This drop in the number of babies", said Mr. Mitchell," is something that hospitals all over Canada and the United are feeling "It is generally codmsidered to be due to the apie use nn ee States moving in all the time". The demand for beds at the hospital continues unabated. At mid February this year the Re- servations Department reported 159 adult urgent cases and 951 adult elective cases awaiting beds. Urgent cases can expect a wait of anywhere between two to three weeks before a bed becomes free, Emergency cases are admit- ted without any delay at all, the report says On the non urgent cases the wait can drag on for months, 'For example,' said Mr. Mit- chell," a child coming in for a tonsilectomy can expact a wait of four months or more". Allocation of beds is done by an admitting and discharge co- mmittee, made up of members of the medical staff X% bed for each of the waiting patients is applied for in writ- ing by the attending physician and the committee processes to further speed the waiting list the committee oversees the length of time spent in hospital after treatment is under way. Where complete care is not compromised, the earliest pos- sible departure. from hospital is encouraged The cost of patient care went up again last year too $29.56 DAILY In 1963 the average net cost per average patient day was $26.67. In 1964 that figure rose to $26.51. Last.year the figure leaped again to $29.56 3roken down further, the per hour cost of keeping a patient at the hospital works out to $1.23. During the year more than so. $135,000 was spent by the hospi- © tal on new equipment to keep pace with the changes in medi cal treatment The hospital's total expendi- ture in 1965. reached an all-time high of $5,176,000.
