According to your Inference, the citizens have mot "the right spirit within them," That may or may not be so. Personally I agree with one very well known public spirit ed man, not far south of King, on Simcoe--that the people have the spirit, individually, but that what 1s needed is something or someone to amalgamate or co- operate that spirit. In your Saturday's issue, "you give the names of a number of public spirited men, attending the Chamber of Commerce meeting. I suggest Mr, - Editor, you in- augurate a movement to get a list of nominations for municipal hon- ors from that lot, You will find they represent the type required for the various governing bodies for 1928, As to the heading of my letter, I believe our problems of today are almost similar to those ¥ have written to you upon for the last five or six years--many still un- solved--barely commenced. When I first came to this (then) town of Oshawa some eight or nine years. ago, under my own steanr on the ground floor, (Please note I was not 'blown in" and landed half way up .the ladder-- to fall off as some do.) I started pretty soon to "Beat the Bounds," that means to walk around the limits; to size up the place, for myself and the future, according to By-law of my old home town, For néxt year, think of the needs of Education, Health and general Civie constructions. : Additional schools or school ae- 'commodation, The condemned sewerage plant has to be replaced; large trunk rs will be demanded; pave. ments and sidewalks; one million, or teredbauts If not quite, fit can be filled up with positively needed items, such as public con- veniences; city planning systemr; fire and police accomodation, ete., and not touch the "Official Hous- ing Scheme," or "City Buildings. If that is a fair estimate of pos- sible capital expenditure, where is the revenue coming from to meet it? It mst be found, and will be found. Our taxable resources are limit. ed within the city limits and within the law. We live in an Industrial City. We must, today, more than ever watch as I have, in all my ad- vocacles, that our Industry is not unduly burddened with any heces- sary increased taxation, Oshawa's Industry must be pro- [tected and encouraged; in {ts three main branches: (a)----Our Industrial plants or factories; (b) ~The Industrious worker or work ing man; (¢)--The dustry, By the latter is meant that the real, active, business man who stocks up and supplies the food, clothing, and general necessities of the people, I do not include in this category the "Roll Top Desk Man," or "Carpet Bagger'-----who form» a class that may be termed "Industrial Parasites"--who pick up and get as they choose, when the sap ceases to run, or the honey gets low in the hive, I can see three main sources from which additional revenue may be obtained, One source is a real one, Here let me say with all due respect to His Worship, Mayor R, D. Preston, that during his two years in the chair, he has missed a real chance, He sadly business In- worker,~or 10 per cent of its value, based on its wholesale priec- ed value--~the extensive vacant lands. 1 submit there is ample room to provide from the above "'Hev- enue Source," sufficient funds by way of Taxes or Increased Assess- ment to take care of the Annual Sinking Fund Payments of a One Million Dollar Capital Expenditure. Industrial Planning five or six years ago, and various times since, (asin 1a your and 'before one bag cement was them mixed at the Harbor, 1 have written, "Keep your oe om on the Harbor." From this point, I have writ. ten on a Planning System: for with a real Harbor, the mind for a Planning System must radiate; transportation by water--from the Harbor---also transportation by land from the Harbor, Witn a completed Harbor, and a complet- ed Park Development at Lakeview Park, there must be planning for a new land transportation route to relieve Simcoe, These things are coming. I would plan that route to keep all increment values with. in our City, and follow the course to King street Bridge--Take the "Harbor Vale" Route, Plan ahead for future industries, from tue Harbor and in the South East.
