While the board will be a new venture in civic government here 'sev- eral Ontario cities have had similar systems for a num- ber of years, For a special pre - election series, The Times has arranged to have articles written by reporters on municipal beats in these cities dealing with the work of the boards. Today's ar- ticle has been provided by a Hamilton Spectator staffer. By HUGH WHITTINGTON Special To The Oshawa Times HAMILTON--At first glance, board of contro] is Big Brother with its watchful eye ever - present on the city's business. It sits in an aerie of wide authority and hands down its word to. city council and the of the corporation with its fist tightly clenched on the strings to the civic purse. Every ex- penditure over $500 requires its approval, and once that appro- val to spend has been given, a two - thirds majority vote vf council is required to upset On matters not involving money, however, a simple ma- jority vote is all that is ne- cessary. Hamilton has had a board of control since 1911, and it has worked reasonably well. CO-ORDINATOR TALKED But as Mayor Victor K, Copps points out, "we find difficulty in implementing policies in the administration because of the lack of a co - ordinator or city manager." who serve on it, and this city has a cross - section of exper- ience in both political and pri- vate life on its board Mayor Copps is a former ra- dio time salesman and sports- caster, Con, James Campbell, an industrialist, is co - owner of a cement company. Con. Archie MeCoy, another indus- trialist, owns. a machine shop and foundry. Legal experience is brought to the board by Con. Brian Morison, a corporation lawyer, and political experience is car- ried by Con. Leslie Parker, who first took a seat on city coun- cil 25 years ago, As the city's full-time mayor, Copps is paid $15,000 a year, part - time controllers and aldermen get $6,000 and $3, 500 respectively. member of a standing commit- tie of city council. He voices the board's opinions and acts as a general liaison man. Conversely, any alderman is free to attend board of con- trol meetings, held each Mon- day and Wednesday at 9.30 a.m. Council itself meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. In order to visualize now a proposal might wind its way from submission to final ap- proval, consider that a_ rate- payer group has written to the mayor asking for curb, gutter and pavement recontrruction of an old street. KEEPER OF PURSE The mayor would refer the request to the appropriate com- mitiee, in this case the com- study from civic department heads, the committee would en- dorse the reconstruction, and recommend to board of con- trol that the work be done. Here the responsibilities of the board as keeper of the money take over. Before approving the expenditure, the board must relate the proposed work to the overall budget for such work, figure its cost into that of other projects on the drawing boards, and decide on the pro- posal's merits compared with the merit of other works. Now the board has decided that the job is worthy of the expenditure and recommends it to city council. After a full- scale debate, city council does not come up with the necessary receives final approval. In a second case, consider that a traffic consultant has pte at the city's request a report recommending a $20, 000,000 expressway. This report would go to board of control, whic would again judge it on its merits related to the overall budget, and make a recommen- dation to council. Or a third hypothetical case, Board of control has recommen: ded to city council that the $20,000,000 expressway be built, Before council has dealt with the proposal, 10,000 taxpayers have signed a petition opposing the project, and presented tt to council.
