Project properties, located Mayor Ernest Marks said this al a board: meeting yesterday, when two resolutions passed by city council on July 24 were dis- cussed. One was to acquire all the lands designated in the re- ports of Damas Smith Ltd., and Planners Associates Ltd.; the other was that the city acquire the entire Ralna south of EAN Beatrice Street and north of Switzer Drive, as indicated in the proposed plan: of sub-divi- sion. Board decided to table the motions until further informas tion had been received and Wil- liam McAdams, director of the Central Ontario Joint Planning Board, had submitted com- ments, Members are also to inspect the Ralna Sub-division on Thursday. Bert Wandless, city planning director, said this property had 9 or 10 acres of good building land. "There is the question of whether you would want to use it for parkland or the erection of semi-detached homes," he said. Con. Ralph Jones said it was good building land, worth about $7,000 or $8,000 an acre. 'There is a shortage of building prop- erty," he added, "and I don't think yeu have a hope in the world of acquiring it." . Mayor Marks said he was in- clined to agree the city did not require all the valley land for Park purposes, "The taxpayers would not ex- pect us to pick up every acre along the valley," he said. '"'We are talking about the use of land for generations to come, and it depends on how far we can go." Mr. Wandless said no build- ing permits had been issued along the area covered by the Damas Smith report since 1961, and it would seem the policy of council would be to determine whether any further permits would be issued as and when the land became available. There were large tracts where it appeared there was no urgency at the moment, as far as acquisition was ~concerned, from the Canadian National Railways south to Lakeview Park. Because of topography, there was little, if any, use to which it could be put as far as build- ing was concerned. RESTRICTED Other sections were restricted because of flooding, and a good part was zoned as valley land and no building permits could be issued. However, there were some vm at areas adjacent to the east and west sides of the valley where problems could arise if some- body acquired the land. North of Taunton Road, there was a considerable area en- visaged as conservation land, Mr. Wandless said, and he thought this would have to be very closely examined before final plans of such a project were completed. There was some substantial housing in this general area, as well as in the area which the board of control was al- ready acquiring. Some was in- tenet MAYOR SAYS MOMENTOUS DECISIONS BEFORE ACQUIRING Momentous decisions face the board of control before action is taken to acquire valley land, along the route of the abandon- ed centennial parkway, for use cluded in the project planners report and would have to be examined very closely. Some included good building land, which might be acquired, The city had done consider- able building both east and west of Ritson Road, and it could not be used for any other purpose for some years. KEEP SOME He said possibly some of the good land could be used for building semi-detached houses, and maybe some could be kept for valley land. Ab panne LAND Referring to the Ralna sub division, he said the cost might be fairly high and there was the question of whether the city would want to use it as parke land. Fred Crome, commissioner of works, said the use of some land, such as the golf course and airpoht property, was not likely to change, and in effect the use was frozen. Only about four parcels needed protecting by zoning for present use. The biggest problem, he said, bie acquiring land for parks Tan TTT PE vRNA gM LPS KARR SAE Soil Tests Start For Bus Terminal The Times TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1967 Preliminary Sketch Plans 'Ready Within Two Months Tenders on the project are expected to be called in March W i 'nt Tr jor April next year. oman e S|. project are available and Once preliminary sketched on drawings. approved, it would take about four months, Mr. Spiegelman said, to prepare engineering Guilty Plea Mary Viola Yeates, 38, of 322 He said she had no criminal money.

A:Sthe city continued to grow, Three provincial election riv- als in Oshawa riding faced each other for the first time at a can- didates' forum last night and outlined platforms aimed at seating one of them in the On- tario legislature. Albert Walker, Progressive Conservative, Clifford Pilkey, New Democratic Party, and James Potticary, Liberal, nail- ed down higher corporation taxes, edu- cational and housing program reforms and retention of an accomplished government dur- ing a private dinner and tor- um sponsored by the Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Genosha. While Mr. Walker, seeking re-election in Oshawa, said ia his address that the Conserva- tive government was one of ac- complishment -- Mr. Pilkey la- belled the government "an ag- ing entrenched Conservative machine... ."" Mr. Potticary aimed his critt- cisms of the Conservative gcv- ernment largely through an existing and unattended housing shortage in the province and in- adequate proposals under. the Smith taxation report, election planks of >. Mr. Walker, noting yesterday as his fourth anniversary since election in Oshawa riding, dis- cussed his government's ac- complishments since 1963 and said "our people are providing 50 per cent of the taxes collect- ed by the national treasury. Our mines, mills, factories, for- est and farms produce 42 per cent of the gross national pro- luction. "Our expenditures on educa- tion, health, social welfare, schools, hospitals, highways, aid to municipalities and other projects during the last 20 years far exceed those for the same purpose during all previ- ous years since Confederation." Mr. Walker said in the last four years 371,000 new jobs have been created. "In 1963, 96 per cent of our workers were fully employed -- today almost 98 per cent receive steady pay cheques. "Your Ontario government has expanded out educational opportunities not only for our children, but for people of all ages. The budget," Mr. Waker went on, "for educational pur- poses during the current year approaches that of the entire budget of the Ontario govern- ment in 1963 -- some $1,000,000,- 000. "From 1949 through 1963 in our province, a new school or a substantial new addition was opened every day and every week of every year, Sundays and holidays included. In 1946, one out of every six perscens was a student in school .. . to- day the average is better than one in four." Mr. Walker said university enrolment has tripled over the last 10 years and by 1970 an estimated 100,000 students will be enrolled in Ontario universi- ties. VIGOROUS PARTY Mr. Pilkey said in his ad- dress the election is 'about parties and political distine- tions; an aging, entrenched Con- servative machine is battling to hang on against the thrust of a young and vigorous New Demo- cratic Party." Mr. Pilkey, a newcomer to provincial politics along with Mr. Potticary, said there are too many problems, too many ineyialities, too many injus- tices and too many faults witb Ontario's governmental system, He said he believed Ontariv citizens were entitled to "decent housing as a matter of right. We have the intelligence and the know-how to guarantee every resident in Ontario a de- cent dwelling. We should not be content with a crisis in this im- portant area when we can cre- ate the homes we need." Slamming Ontario's tax set- up, he said a fair-share tax system should. be established by "spreading the burden of costs "justly and at the same time providing the services needed in a community." Mr. Pilkey said labor should be given a "real voice" in de- ciding the effects of automa- tion on jobs and called for a program to get farmers a "'fair income." "If we so determine," he said, "we can eliminate poverty and privation. We can make sure everyone has an income com- patible with our wealth in this province which will guarantee every individual dignity as a human being." HIGH TAXES Mr. Potticary, charged that "PILKEY, POTTICA RY, WALKER even with the implementation of the basic shelter relief of about $60 a year to a home-owner (a proposal of the Smith Report) ... taxes will continue to climb. "Taxes are high now and they will go up again."' Mr, Potticary said a planned reassessment of houses in: On- tario under the Smith Report would make the $60 tax relief to property owners look minor. He advocated that the government provide mortgage loans at less than 5 per cent for 30 years to encourage rapid housing devel- opment and said the govern- ment should take over 80 per cent of the cost of education. Mr. Potticary said the gover- ment should plan to make use of schools 12 months a year, that student awards should be reformed and university fees abolished. Mr. Potticary also advocated: --establishment of an Ontario students' bureau to help stu- dents. get work; expansion of students' counselling services; a step-up in retraining proce- dures to make workers ready to "move in"; abolition of the ex parte injunctiow, bringing work- men's compensation cases in Candidates Meet For First Time At Jaycee Forum line with the cost of living; and entitling women equal pay for equal work. PROPOSALS Later in a question period by some 40 Jaycees at the meet- ing Mr. Pilkey outlined a rash of proposals: a capital gains tax (not recommended in tne Smith Report); a review board established to consider cuts in consumer costs where neces- sary; health reforms to include a more equal distribution of On- tario's wealth; higher corpora- tion taxation and greater reve- nue from_ the province's natural resources, RECORD "T say to you," Mr. Walker added, 'that quite frankly I am proud of the record of the government I represent.' He said other candidates 'would have us believe the Robarts' government is. old and tired and not up to date. I suggest to you that if Ontario today is the result of an old and tired gover- ment, then there are a number of provinces in Canada that could well use such a gqvern- ment, when she was struck down by a car late Monday afternoon. Darlene Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wilson of 636 Minto St., had been playing on Grierson Street when she was hit by a car driven by @ Grierson Street woman. She was taken to Oshawa General Hospital, and at 9.42 p.m. was transferred to Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto, where the operation took place. A spokesman for Sick Chil. dren's Hospital. said' he expect+ ed the child to'be transferred out of the recovery section later today. Control Board Undecided Board of control changed its mind yesterday about two low- mileage city cars put out for sale by tender . : Purchasing agent William Crompton was instructed to find out if they could still be used by city hall departments. The cars were both Chevy If sedans, one 1962 and one 1963. Highest prices in the tenders opened yesterday were $519 for the 1962 model and $735 for the 1963 model. Answering Con. Ralph Jones, Mr. Crompton said the older car had recorded 35,000 miles and the 1963 model, 17,000. He said the cars had been used by members of the social services department, and they had now switched to mileage, jusing their own vehicles. | "Why not switch to mileage when the cars are worn out?" asked Con. Jones. '17,000 is still a good car, irrespective of its age." : When Mr. Crompton said it was a question of depreciation, Con. Jones said he still did not agree. "I thik we outht to he hanging on to these two," he said. "We are buying new ones every year." Con. Robert Nicol said the fire department 'had just smash- ed up a car and it might be worth while investigating if they could use one of these.
