The city will shortly buy the land from the owner, paying $2933 per acre, for the 15-acre block. BUILD IN TWO YEARS According to the terms of io agreement, the company mus! paid, within two years, a mini- mum 50000 square foot plant. If Sklar does not build in this time, the land must be returned to the city at the purchase price. The company will have a three- year option on about three acres of land immediately south of the purchased land. Sklar has offer- ed per acre for this portion. The 15-acre block, which is be- ing sold to the city, has been ap- praised at $3000 per acre by George A. Lister, appraisal con- sultant to the City of Oshawa. However, in view. of four city requirements, Mr. Lister reduced the land value 55 per cent to be- tween $1350 - $1400 per acre. FOUR REQUIREMENTS The four requirements: a 35- foot sewer easement on the prop- erty's north side, a V-shaped sliver of land on the east side for the Wilson road underpass, a road allowance on the south side and sanitary fill on the west side. The V-shaped piece extends down the east side of the property for 504 feet, narrowing the com- pany's choice of entrance to the property. This was cited by Ald. E. F. Bastedo as the most serious bringing the price down more than anything else, : City services, including grad- ing, gravelling and a paved Wil- son road, will add $13,400 in costs. ; Ald. Bastedo argued that this cost should not be included in computations connected with this piece of land as "the improve- whole." Sarnia.

The current attraction is "A Touch of Larceny." Would R A coroner's jury, investigating the death of seven-year-old Timo- thy John Haines, of 982 Colborne street east, on May 27, recom- mended Monday night that the school safety instruction pro- gram, operated by the Oshawa Police Department, be reinstitut- ed in Oshawa Separate Schools. The boy died of injuries sus- tained when- he was struck by a car and tossed 54 feet. He died despite a unique attempt to re- vive him at the Oshawa General Hospital. The jury took only 12 minutes to decide that Timmy was re sponsible for his own death while playing on the Harmony Creek bridge, King street east, shortly after he had been released from Youths Admit Joy Riding Two youths, originally charged with car theft, pleaded guilty in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Monday to a lesser charge of "joy riding", or taking a car without the owner's permission. The youths told police they took the car to drive a girl friend home. Bryan Leroy Gilliland, 18, of 1377 Cedar street, the youngest of the pair: was placed on sus- pended sentence. William Harry Findlay, 18%, of 23 Sandra street, who is already, on sus- pended sentence for theft, was sentenced to two months in the county jail. The two admitted to detectives they took a car parked near the coal yards on Simcoe street south and went for a drive around the city. Findlay alleged the car be. longed to an acquaintance of his. PC Kenneth Ostler told the court that on June 5 he chased the car at high rates of speed for a considerable distance in the south end of Oshawa. He did not know at that time the car was taken without the owner's permis- sion. Gilliland, the driver, was told to produce his driver's licence to the desk sergeant at the police station within two hours or be charged, PC Ostler related, The constable said the accused also gave him a fictitious name as the car's owner. When police received a report of a stolen car, Gilliland was taken in for questioning. Findlay was picked up the next day. George Boychyn, representing Gilliland, told the court the ac- cused was just being chivalrous or in his code of ethics "'doing Findlay a favor". by giving his girl friend a drive home. { "Is that a favor", retorted | Crown Attorney Alex C. Hall. | Safety Program einstate classes at St. Gertrude's Separ- ate School. No blame was at. tached to the driver of the car, Charles Ulricn; 20, of 99 King street east, Bowmanville. Two witnesses said the boy dashed across the bridge in front of the Ulrich car. Peter Zeven- hoven, 8, a classmate at St. Ger- trude's, said Timmy was on the north side of the bridge. He shouted "Here I come' and then ran as hard as he could to. wards the south side and was struck. A 10-year-old playmate, David O'Reilly, said the group of boys, playing on the bridge, were toss- ing objects into the stream and Timmy ran across the road to see one of the objects float under the other side. PROGRAM WITHDRAWN Sgt. Norman Smyth, head of the Oshawa Police Traffic Divi- sion told the jury that seprate schools had withdrawn from the police department's safety pro- gram in September, However, he added, there is an adult crossing guard on duty in front of 'St. Gertrude's School. Sgt. Smyth said the crossing guard, who is also the janitor, had finished his duty and gone back into the school about a min- ute before the accident occurred. The child was struck about 300 feet away from the guarded crossing, To go to his home Timmy does -not have to cross King street, he said. Schools participating in the safe- ty program are visited once a week by the safety officer, Sgt. Smyth said. The program in- cludes safety lectures, student crossing guards, mock trials and ments will add to the area as a| be charged to local improve- ments, will be paid by the com- pany. TO USE PROMOTION FUND Ald. Bastedo said the money to buy the land and provide the services will come from the In- dustrial Promotion Fund. In this fund is money collected from the sale of industrial lands. "The entire project is ene of industrial promotion," he said. "No money is coming out ef the mill rate." Ald, Bastedo read a letter from Louis Sklar, in which Mr. Sklar said it was the company's inten- tion to construct a 77,000 square foot building. The company will probably re- quire the optioned three acres, said Ald. Bastedo, but the Sklar brothers want a year on. location to assess business needs, $26:000 IN TAXES Ald. Bastedo quoted a year-old estimate by Assessment Commis. sioner Eldon Kerr to the effect that property and business taxes on a 77,000 square foot factory, computed on the 1960 mill rate, would total $26,000 annually. "What better argument is there than that?" asked Ald. Bastedo. "This company will be paying the city $26,000 in taxes each year, They (Sklars) own land in a nearby town, and may move. "I know of no project, during my four years on the Industrial Commission, which has come to uition, that is as important as 18. "I urge very strongly that this offer be accepted by the city." OTHERS STAYED Sald Ald. Dafoe: "Ald. Bastedo has painted a very rosy picture, I recall other industries which have threatened to leave Oshawa, but have stayed at the show- down. "What they (Sklars) are offer- ing is $19,800 less than we are paying. I'd like to see Sklar pay $2000 per acre, the price the In- dustrial Commission recommend- ed as the 1960 industrial land price." Ald, A. V. Walker: "I have given this matter as much thought as any matter 1 have ever dealt with on council. "We may lose an industry sup- porting 200 employees. If we can't maintain the industry we have, then we ly can't sup- port an Industrial Commission.

"The onus is on council. Are we making this deal in the bes interests of the people?" FIXED ASSESSMENT Ald. Hayward Murdoch: "Is if legal for the city to give a fixed assessment to an industry located in the city?" City solicitor McNeely: "Yes'. Ald. Murdoch: "Without a vote?" McNeely: "No." . Murdoch: "That means an ex- penditure of $7000." 5: Ald. Murdoch: "I discount the $13,000 for services. They would go in no matter what industry came in, Where the $20,000 is in volved, I got opinions from three private citizens, I think we should keep the industry in Osh- awa." ONLY ONE QUESTION Ald. Branch: "There is only one question. Do you want to which eep an industry here oys 200 people?" "I'm prepared to support this." given tonight, within 15 months, the city will have, back in its coffers, any money we have spent Ald. Down: "In my opinion, Sklars hasn't the slightest notion of leaving Oshawa. FET to keep this industry in Oshawa." CONTROL OF LOCATION Ald. Brady: "Has any thought been given to Sklar buying the land from the present 'owner, then dealing with the city as to easements, etc.?" Ald Bastedo: "If this happen- ed, there would be no way to stop them building anywhere on the land." Ald. Thomas: *"'A great deal of effort has been made to bend over backward to keep this in- dustry here. We have a $19.800 loss plus $13,410 for grading and gravelling." "It's going to cost the tax- payer $40,000 for the land be- cause he is the person who has put up the money in the reserve. "I don't want to see industry leave the city, but I don't think we should subsidize. "This is not legal, buying land for the Sklar people and selling it for less. "There is a principle at stake, the buying of land not for city purposes. "And how about the fill for the spur line? This has to be provided by the city. It is a ittment "This is private land. Let the owner worry about whether he sells it or not. "I think the tax veturn ($26,000) is wishful thinking. Seventy-seven thousand square feet? Write it down and sign it. We have made several thousand dollars just by ing. "They (Sklars) saw this wasn't going to go over. So they raised their offer. They're putting hands in our pockets. "They went over to Whitby and bought land. Now they are coming back here. I haven't the slightest notion that they leave. "Tonight's offer is more justi- fied than the other night only because they are scared." FIGURES QUESTIONED Ald. Dafoe: Is it fair to pre- sent us with those figures (the $26,000 in business and property, tax) when we will be losing taxes when they move (from their preset location)?"'. Ald. Hopkins: "The alderman doesn't give the Industrial Com- ission credit. We plan to rent that building as soon as it is and may be costly. "I can't support this; legal. There is nohting (Municipal) Act to allow it isn't empty. Besides the city will get property tax from the owners even if the building is empty." The vote was taken and the meeting adjourned. NOT ILLEGAL Mayor Lyman Gifford: opinion, this is not illegal. We are gcing by the appraiser's value, I will take my share of respon- sibility, in or out of court." City solicitor E. G. McNeely was called to give his opinion on the legality. He quoted from sec- tion 345 of the Act: * . .. in the exercise of its (city) acquiring or expropriating land, it appears to the council that it can acquire a larger quan- tity of land from a particular other safety instruction. TOOK TOO MUCH TIME chairman, said later the safety program was stopped mainly be- cause it took up too much of the student's time. A. C. Love, administrator for the separate school board, point- ed out this morning that only two of the six separate schools had ever participated in the pro- gram, St. Gertrude's was not one of these, he said. UNUSUAL PROCEDURE The coroner, Dr. R, S. Irwin, told the jury that Dr. J. Dillon, an anaesthetist at the Oshawa General Hospital, was one of the few persons in this area who could have attempted a unique type of ' resuscitation when the boy arrived at the hospital. Dr. Dillon, testified he used a special instrument to examine the boy's throat and air pas- sages. Finding them full of blood, he pumped them out and inserted a breathing pipe into the boy's windpipe. The lad died of s ere chest J. B.
