Board of control will pre- sent budget estimates to coun- cil which call for a 4.85 mill residential mill rate increase -- or a $38.80 increase for the average taxpayer with $8,000 assessment. A lenthy meeting was indi- cated today in a Times' sur- vey of eight of the 12 avail- able city aldermen. No aldermen came out defi- nitely for or against the budget mill rate increase, but at least three suggested board of. con- others indicated some costs will have to be slashed. The biggest thorn noted was the high salaries paid civic em- ployees. The budget estimates showed salaries took more than one-half of the increase. Following are some of the comments: Ald. Bruce Mackey hinted he will raise the question of wheth- er the city hall complex costs should be included in th? year's budget. He noted the high salaries and the large board of education budget. Ald. Alice Reardon said an- other look will have to be taken at the budget. "It seems Oshawa) being what they are,' she said. Ald. Russell McNeil said he does not like such a high in- crease but would not be pinned down on how he will vote to- night. "I cannot take any posi- tion until council meets and I hear it all,' he said. Ald. Charles Mcllveen. said he could not see how they could cut the budget any fur- ther. Board of control consid- ered every item closely, he said, and the items remaining appear to be absolutely neces- sary. He also noted high civic Salaries. Ald. John DeHart took strong blaming them on the increase. "They are the highest paid civic force in Canada and you can quote me on that," he said, He said council had little choice but to approve the increase. Ald. William Paynter said he could not see how the budget, as it stands could be changed with the high civic salaries which, he said, were inherited from the former council. Ald. Gordon Attersley said he was disappointed in the ap- proach used this year, and said he did not have time to thor- oughly review the budget be- fore it came to council. Ald.

Burke Marshall, chairman. of President Johnson's 'raft re- form group, said anyone can beat the draft. He was testifying before a Senate labor subcommittee hearing on an expected exten- sion of the military draft. Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy, chairman of the subcommittee, asked abgut young men escaping the draft by moving to Canada, Marshall said any youth with the "will, the means and the in- telligence can beat the draft." LAUGHTER, THEN ANXIETY PERIL TO OTHER VESSELS Mood Of Seafarers Turns To Anger LOCKEPORT,. N.S. (CP)-- First there was laughter. Then there was anxiety. Finally there was anger. The mood of the seafaring people in this fishing commu- nity on the Nova Scotia south coast changed quickly after word spread that the aging trawler Cape Spry had been stolen by a lone man as the town slept early last Friday. "You could almost feel the sentiment change," said Robert Cove, manager of the fishing company that owns the 20-year- old wooden trawler. "At first it seemed amusing. Here was a man--new to these parts--and he took a big vessel right from under everyone's nose. People here were laugh- ing about it all at breakfast time." This was the opening chapter in the saga of the lone mariner, a handsome, ruggedly-built 23- year-old marine mechanic from Prince Rupert, B.C. The final chapter will unfold next Wed- nesday when Bruce Moore, six- foot-two, 220 - deckhand aboard the Cape Spry, is sentenced for theft. MOOD CHANGES By noon last Friday, the mood in this snug little port had' be- gun to change. "There he was--out thete all alone, tired and not too familiar with the waters in these parts," said the skipper of a Lockeport vessel, 'Everyone got to think- pound former . ing--maybe he'll run into one of the vessels." There were about 40 other trawlers working on the banks ~LaHave, Browns and Georges --south of here. Giving them a low average crew of 10 men, this meant 400 fishermen were in potential danger, said an RCMP officer. "What if he falls asleep?" was the question on the lips of many Lockeport women. For nearly three days people here lived in fear. CAPTURE BRINGS RELIEF There' was relief when the word came that the Cape Spry had been located and was head- ing for shore, manned by a crew of six Canadian . coast guardsmen. the Then came anger. A fish company official said: "You can't blame the people." "The Cape Spry has already lost several days' work and that means loss of wages for the crew. They'll miss her catch at the fish plant, too." The plant employs every time the Cape turns from the banks vides 2% days' work. Hardest hit by the incident will be the nine crew members of the Cape Spry. While the ves- sel suffered no exterior damage when she was slipped -- with just four inches of clearance be- tween two other vessels--from her berth to the open sea, she Was apparently run at high speeds for extended periods. 150 and Spry re- she pro- | | ada, Sweden and Russia in that "All indications to date are|$800,100,000, says the report, order.
