| En an initia Intermart Makeup Is Cited By President A substantial part of Dr. Allan Wilson's address to the Oshawa and District Real Estate Board Wednesday night was spent in explaining Intermart's makeup, background, theories of origin, how the need for such a com- plex was measured and why Oshawa was chosen as a suit- able location. Following are extracts from the speech of the president of the National Proprietary Cor- poration Limited: "What is the idea behind Intermart and how does it fit into the picture of a fully de- veloped Oshawa Harbor area? " 'Intermart' is the name we have given to the complex of warehousing, assembly, process- ing and display areas planned to eventually cover 150 acres east of Farewell avenue to Harmony Marsh and south of the city, sanitary facilities and parks building. PACKAGE FREIGHT "Intermart will deal only with what is referred to as 'package freight' -- it is not concerned with the import or export of such bulk items as coal, stone or oil. However, it will include both foreign and domestic goods and could cater to both Seaway and Great Lakes shipping. "Structurally Intermart con- sists of three types of buildings, which will be developed as re- quired: "First and next to the dock and taking in the southerly part of the property will be a transit shed, customs and brokerage of- fices, a customs inspection area, bonded and unbonded warehous- ing and open storage. One large building. could probably handle these various services the first vear. This part of the project is essentially the key to the proper and full use of the harbor. It should be under the manage- ment of a terminal operator, who would also normally con- tract with the shippers to sup- ply handling equipment and labor. "Statistics indicate that stor- age and handling facilities of the type proposed can only be ex- pected to show a net return on investment of about 8 per cent This is not a very atractive profit and it is obvious that the terminal operator cannot afford to make any mistakes or to pay any unnecessary charges. WAREHOUSE AREA "Second -- immediately north of the warehousing and storage Mya i is Plated to erect build- lor the purpose of prepar- ing goods for BA drawings and an estimate of costs and our lease rates will be based on these. The plans are such that the buildings can be expanded from Farewell ave- nue east. : "It is possible to develop this phase of the Intermart project separately from the warehous- ing, but to do so would, to a certain extent, be putting the cart before the horse. Many of the goods displayed will be im- ports and the facilities for im- porting should logically be avail- able and operating first. "We anticipate also that the merchandise mart will attract import and export business, which would not otherwise come to Oshawa Harbor. Thus the two places will complement each other. This is one type of en- ticement for business that no other harbor in Ontario can offer. "Our plans are based on cer- tain premises or presumptions {of fact. |INATURAL RESOURCE "It must be presumed for ex- ample that Oshawa needs a har- bor. Since the present harbor is a natural resource, it is logical 10 develop the harbor in the nor- mal course of developing the natural resources of the nation. To this extent the harbor de- velopment will take place as needed, "If it can be shown that its development would improve the economy of the Oshawa district the need for immediate develop- ment would be beyond doubt. "We presume, also, that there is a need for the services which Intermart proposes to offer. If this is not true our whole project is premature. Professor Mec- Dougall of Queen's University did some statistical research for us in this connection. Although the records he examined pre- date the St. Lawrence Seaway they indicate a steady growth in both the demand for and the provision of warehousing. "The construction of a mer- chandise mart and the locating of harbor-using industries in the Oshawa district would auto- matically increase the need for both bonded and unbonded ware- housing. We presume in this con- nection also, that there is need for a merchandise mart. "Whether this need is real or theoretical remains to be seen but early responses to our ad- vertising would indicate that the idea is popular and the cost is not prohibitive. It should be a |} t of our devel Pp sembling, packaging and serv- icing imported parts or goods. "The third group of buildings would comprise a merchandise display mart -- really a shop- ping plaza for wholesalers and importers as well as domestic manufacturers. To it would come the buyers and merchants who, under one roof, could do comparative shopping and either place their orders or take de- liveries themselves from the goods kept available in the stor- age area. The type of develop- ment contemplated here is sim- ilar to the Chicago Merchandise Mart. There is also another mart in Dallas, Texas, develop- ed along the same lines. "In order to assure an orderly development and a reasonable return on investment, it is the intention of Intermart to con- struct the units of the merchan- dise mart only as they are pre- leased.

ACTIVE SUPPORT "Other presumptions of fact on which we must operate are to the effect that we will receive not only co-operation but active support from federal, provincial and municipal authorities and municipal authorities and from both local citizens and local in- dustry. "One of the biggest problems in a project which involves all the different levels of govern- ment, as well as private indus- try, trade and commerce is to find a course of action which is satisfactory to everyone and then to co-ordinate the efforts of all parties in achieving the goal set. "A second presumption is that the services can be provided at a cost which makes them com- petitive with existing facilities. If we cannot offer to forward- ing agents, operators and ship- ping lines, a lower total cost than either Toronto or Hamilton harbor, the Oshawa harbor will never develop. "There are many factors which make up the total cost picture. COST PICTURE "Our cost is influenced by lo- cation. In this connection Osh- awa has an ideal location. Tt is the eastern anchor of that in- dustrial and commercial belt ex- tending around Lake Ontario to the Niagara river and common- ly known as "The Golden Horse- shoe", It is also on the main line of both railways and on Highway 401. Seventy-eight per cent of the population of On- tario and Quebec live within a radius of 300 miles. Sixty-two per cent of the manufacturing industries in Canada are located within 100 miles of Oshawa. "It must be admitted that some aspects of the location are not an advantage. For example it will cost more to deliver a {shipment from Oshawa to Mim- |ico than from Toronto to Mim- |ico. But this is not true of ship- ments to Scarboro, Galt or Kit- chener. Any additional trucking costs must be more than off-set by savings in handling and stor-| age, otherwise our total cost will be out of line. "The total cost is also affect- ed by the original cost of the land plus the cost of developing it In Oshawa we have a con- siderable advantage in this re- spect as our original land cost Construction work on the $450,000 extension to the Bow- manville Sewage Treatment plant is progressing so well that it is hoped it will be in EXTENSION bis operation just after the new | year.

Constable 0'Grady intends to join forces is moderate. Nor is there any| roblem concerning costs of con-| struction of buildings, for such costs are no higher here than elsewhere DEPARTMENT | OPERATES HARBOR | "Our costs may be affected| substantially by other factors over which we have no control. In the general scheme of harbor development the department of works designs and constructs the ship's berth and pays for it out of its departmental appropria- tions. The department of trans- port maintains and operates the harbor -- the operation being through the local Harbor Com- missioners. Costs of operation and maintenance and a portion of capital cost are partly re- covered by levying various charges on ships using the har- bor and by leasing lands owned rbor Commission. Our operation would be economical- ly unsound and few if any ships would use the harbor if these charges were as high as in To- ronto or Hamilton. They must be lower to entice shipping to Oshawa. This is a very impor- tant point and the future of the harbor development hinges to a considerable extent on it being a useable ocean harbor at mini- mum cost. '"'Another cost item, of course, is the cost of roads, water, sewers and municipal services in general, spread over several years. At the monient this gives us no concern. With the con- tinued co-operation of the City and the Harbor Commission it should be possible to keep basic costs at a competitive level."
