THE A 3-3474 "VOL. 85--NO. 102 Former City | Hall Site To Be Used Construction of a $2,000,000 busi- ness and apartment building at the corner of Richihnd street and Simcoe street north, former site of the old citv hall, was ap- proved last night by Oshawa City Council. Sale of the land for $55,000 fo Allwood Construction Co. Ltd., Toronto, was agreed upon by City Council, providing a building worth at least $2,000,000 is erected within five years. Work on the project must begin within three vears from the date sale is com- pleted. The proposal, dropped like bombshell by Alderman John W. Dyer at the close of a lengthy meeting, met with stiff opposition from Alderman Christine Thomas and Albert V. Walker, chairman | and vice-chairman respectively of the traffic committee. MAKE PROTEST They protested loss of valuable downtown parking space, which would complicate the already dif- ficult traffic problem here, and cost about $100,000 to relocate. Mr. Dyer, vice-chairman of the ciiy property committee, said tax- es om the proposed $2,000,000 building the present rate of 6l mills wi net Oshawa $45,000 yearly, Biisiness trxes would add to_ this total. Last year's revenue from the land now" used as a city parking lot, was $6,076. : : We haven't seen anything like this in Oshawa before," Mr. Dyer commented. : If the construction company fails to meet terms of its guar- antee, Mr. Dyer said, they will forfeit the $10,000 down payment for the property, and resell to the City at the $55,000 figure. The Cite will hold a take-back mort- gage of $45,000, at five per cent interest for five years NEW BUILDING After a debate lasting for 1% hours until 1 a.m., a recorded vote demanded by Mr. Dyer saw| Mrs. Thomas and Mr. Walker the! | only two dissenters among the full tarctic expedition miss Council present.

That land was never intended to be used as a parking lot. "The value of the property jar too great for the small amount of revenue we get from parking." With Alderman Walter Lane the chair, Mr. Dyer received sup- port from Mayor W. John Naylor, who said the lot was intended to be sold to help pay the cost of C building the present City Hall.
