Gifford of Oshawa were in de- precating mood at an association dinner at the Sandalwood Res- taurant Tuesday night. Mr. Kas- singer referred to the builders as the "bad boys" of the city hall group. The mayor referred to himself as "the bad boy of city council" as far as the builders were con- cerned. "And I'm he added. The mayor and City Engineer Fred Crome were main targets of a group of panelists set up by the association in an effort to iron out problems encountered v the builders in their efforts to do a better job for the potential nomeowner. WIDE QUESTION RANGE The questions ranged from the need for a city manager to the money spent on industrial devel- opmeit of the city, the condition of city streets and roads to the @ need for less legal red tape and 4 lower legal costs for the buyer. unrepentant", Mr. Kassinger, on behalf of the|efficient, the board keeps him.

I can't give out any details on this at present, but I think it proves that we need to spend money to attract industry," he concluded. One builder from the floor said that he disagreed. "This policy is just hindering homebuilding. It's forcing up the price of the land. Three years ago we could buy lots for $750. Now we can't get a lot under $3000. That means the price of homes are up consider- ably," he declared. LEGAL COSTS HIGH D. Cameron said that legal costs were high because it was usually necessary to engage three lawyers for each home buying transaction. A lawyer looked after the interests of the builder, another represented the mort. gagee and the other representd the buyer, He said that it was necessary the buyer have legal representa- |tion. Bankruptcies in the area re- cently had affected the interests of two homeowners at least, and they would have to pay a con- siderable amount of money out of study this whole question of the administration, and we are hop- ing that when it brings in its report we can take some action to improve things for the public," he said. W. McFeeters said he was of the opinion that the city should go out and hire the best business- man obtainable to run the city administration 'no matter what it costs. It will save us money in the end". D. Cameron said it would be logical to hire a city manager. "The city is like any other big business. The council is analog- ous to the board of directors, which is represented by the gen- eral manager who interprets the board's decisions to action by the personnel through the heads of the various departments.

"Democracy, unfortunately doesn't operate this way. As long as the will of the majority rules, then there's not much hope for the type of government suggest- ed." The mayor was also asked if he thought sufficient money was being spent to further the indus- trial expansion of the city. INDUSTRIAL SLIDING OFF anics liens, He said that the law yer representing the buyer should make sure that at least 20 per cent of the total amount is held back to insure the homeowner against claims of this kind. "No. I don't. Unless we do something very fast, we are going to be in trouble," said the mayor. Our industrial assessment is slid- ing off very fast, and perhaps we need a curb on homebuilding. Otherwise we have got to get more industries in here." He paid tribute to the efforts of W. McLaughlin, the Industrial Commissioner, who he said was doing a remarkable job, and to the Homebuilders Association which had set up a special or- ganization to build industrial plants for sale and lease.
