Lid Tene GamMawk, ONT - NEW CITY PROBLEM Fringe Development Studied By JIM REVITT At a recent meetng of planning board the problem of fringe de- velopment round the outskirts of Oshawa was discussed. With some degree of alarm, the board realiz- ed that the unhealthy fringe de- velopment which caused the 1953 annexation, is again occuring: The Public Utilities Commission has received requests from sur- rounding townships for the supply of water to residential areas de- veloping near the boundary. PUC has refused td supply the water, but that body together with the 1956 planning board now has to decide if this is the right policy. Ald. Lyman Gifford warns that the development of a metropoli- tan area for Oshawa seems inevit- able and that such a move would give the city more control over this building on the city boundary, away from the basic community services When the land use plan for the annexed. area was drawn up, it provided for a buffer strip of open land round the city, cushioning it from fringe development, Sewer, power, and water servcies would not be put through the buffer strip, it was decided The area of Oshawa enough to accommodate 90,000 people without infringing on the buifer sirin. The strip is a green belt and the city does not want uneconomic development there. Rather, it is planned that succes- sive-compact additions be made to already built up serviced areas. Through building permits and control of sub-division plans, the city is able to restrict development in the buffer strig, most of which is farm land. Examination of all sub-division plans is 2n important function of the planning board Planning board ensures that the services can be provided to the area, that pleasant neighborhoods are created, there is adequate re- creational space and that traffic streets fit into the master street plan . days Zoology Lik is large Under Mass Undigested Matter OTTAWA (CP) An Ontario rt told fellow scien- / that zoology is in danger of being smothered under a mass of undigested material and COMING EVENTS THURSDAY, George's Hall, Albert and ial games §7., 6-840 Ja MEMBERSHIP MEETING OF T H Oshawa Women's Progressive Con ative Association, Tuesday, January Adelaide House, 8 p.m. JANUARY 5,| y Point where a serious responsibility tional commissions, -l exists Jans, 9!

At Council Meetings Aldermen ' Cautioned On Rules Oshawa's new mayor and new chairman of the council's commit- tee of the Whole have taken steps to introduce greater decorum and reduce procedural difficulties at city council meetings. At Tuesday's meeting of council, Mayor W. John Naylor was quick to reprimand aldermen who did not Adhere to normal rules of proce- ure. Mayor, Naylor told all aldermen early in the meeting that they must rise to their feet to attract atten- tion of the chair, not raise their hands. He also said that all and discussion must be a through or to the chair. He said that the council's con- solidated by-laws would to guide dehates. THREE PROPOSALS Ald. Walter Lane, 1956 chairman of the Committee of the Whole, took the chair for the first time on Tuesday night and recommended three proposals for improving the conduct council meetings. He suggested that the recess ad- journment be limited to ten min- utes and that aldermen reassemble promptly when called to order by the chair. Mr. Lane said that during com- mittee discussion no derogatory re- ference should be made to past council acflon and decision. This had been done in the past, he said, but was contrary to rules of coun- cil procedure.
