2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, January 17, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'Mutual Tariff Cuts Planned Ce ee CNR NEUTRAL ON KING ST. TRACKS, THANK YOU That's right! The CNR King street tracks are a municipal mon- strosity, a blight on a blighted area, a deterrent to true civic pride and progress, a political football for 30 years (and so on), " x _# So what is the official CNR attitude towards their removal? "Strictly neutral," says J. H, Spicer, Toronto area manager, whose jurisdict- ion includes Oshawa, who has visited here several times in the past three months to discuss the King street tracks with in- terested parties. The CNR finds itself plump-square in the mid- dle of this age-old, heated municipal controver- sy with "sympathetic un- derstanding for both the municipality and the three downtown firms involved, old customers of the CNR," he explains.

N.WT. Color Bar application from the City for their removal). Such decision would naturally revolve around a question of '"econom- ics," of how much the loss of the tracks (and subse- quently removal to another site) would cost the firms. There is no desire on the part of the CNR to cause any financial hard- ship on the three down- town Oshawa firms invol- ved -- at the same time the railway is deeply sympathetic with the stand taken by many city merchants wfho claim that the tracks are cum- bersome and help to cause hardship in the general area where they run. KING ST. TRACKS Mr. Spicer would not confirm a report that one of the three downtown firms using the tracks re-sold (several months ago) a north city site originally sold to them by the CNR for a small sum as a possible new site with railway service, but he did say this: These three downtown firms were offered alternate sites (on a rental basis) with tracks service by the,CNR on Russett avenue last year, but the offer was declined by all three, The City's application to the Transport Board for the track's removal was made January, 1961. The City later asked for a delay by the Board, presumably in the hope of settling the matter itself --- this request was re- scinded last December. Mr, Spicer said that the Board will contact all par- ties concerned (the City, the firms and the CNR) first of all in an attempt to settle the matter without a pub- lic hearirig. : If this fails, the Board could make one of three moves: Reject the City's application and allow the tracks to remain. : Order a public hearing, Order the tracks removed. Mr. Spicer said that it would cost the CNR approx- imately $50,000 to repair the King street tracks -- he also admitted that it would take "considerable time" for the railway to recover this amount from the dwindling traffic using them (747 cars in 1950 -- 319 in 1955 -- 94 last year.) "This is a many-sided and complex question," said Mr. Spicer and the Transport Board would have to decide if the tracks' removal would cause any unfair financial hardship on these firms, with whom we have had such a long business relationship. Also remember that the tracks still show a profit. That could be another important factor." The tracks admittedly represent an annual profit for the CNR, but how much of a profit, especially in view of the fact that Mr. Spicer admits that "consider- able" time would elapse before the company recovered a $50,000 repair bill from them? Another question to be asked is this -- is this so- called "profit" sufficient to justify the. extreme hard- ship which the tracks cause to the downtown area?; in other words, are too many people suffering for the in- convenience afforded three firms. Perhaps the Board of Transport Commissioners will come up with the right answer in the near future. We sincerely hpe so, The tracks' problem has been kicked around far too long for the good of Oshawa. LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Rudi Maeder of the Oshawa Toastmasters' Club was elected by acclamation to the East Whitby Township Council recently in his first bid for public office, . Thomas J. Plunkett of Montreal, guest speaker af tne annual Civic Day luncheon of the Oshawa Rotary Club last week, was one of a three-man team sent to Singa- pore in 1960 under the Colombo Plan for three months to advise the State of Singapore on proposed methods of integrating the City of Singapore into the state under one municipal government system. He was formerly a city manager at Beaconsfield Quebec; as a municipal consultant, he is currently helping to re-write the city charter for Dartmouth and Halifax in Nova Scotia. Leonard Hynes, who will be guest speaker at the annual dinner-meeting of the Oshawa C of C in February, is the first Canadian-born president of Canadian Industries Ltd.
