Bian" | City Council Votes To Keep Poll Tax The poll tax stays! | Only Mayor Christine Thomas Old. Gordon Attersley and Wal- ter Branch voted to abolish the poll tax in Oshawa last night as Finance Chairman Ald FE. F. Bastedo claimed the city would lose $13,000 "on the basis of last year's revenues' if the tax were dropped Mayor Thomas objected the figure of $13,000. She point- ed out that only $5,000 had been placed in this year's budget in anticipation of poll tax receipts OBJECTS TO METHODS Ald. Branch objected to "Gestapo-type methods of lection." He was referring "demand notices" which are sent to city businesses He claimed that industries had to "spy" on their employees Employers receiving these no- tices must deduct the tax from the wage of those employees who pay the tax under terms set up in the Statute Labor Act. Last year, tices were sent 1,700 persons the tax. This year, sald Ald. Bastedo, the demand notices would not be used COST WAS $13,000 On Jan. 2 of this year, City Tax Collector Clarence Cox asked council to abolish the tax. His argument: out of the $17,000 collected in 1961, he fig- ures it cost his department alone over $13,000 to collect it Mr. Cox appeared before the finance committee and council in committee to explain the dif ficulties of collection. He called the tax "inequit- able" because it is so difficult to collect that he figures he is getting only 75 per cent of those who should pay. to the col- to 898 demand no- out' and about altogether paid Oshawa Board of Education public school committees will request the Board of Police Commissioners to reconsider its decision to install electrical- ly operated cross walk controls at the intersection of Wilson road south and Bloor street The police commission in formed the board of its deci- sion to ask city council to in- stall electrically operated cross walk controls at the Wilson road - Bloor street intersection and the intersection of way avenue and road.

It is only a means to an end," declared Kenneth C. Bath, Oshawa indus- trial commissioner, in an ad- dress Monday to the members of the Rotary. Club of Oshawa. Mr. Bath, who spoke on the subject 'Industrial Develop- ment,"" was introduced by Ro- tarian Maurice Hart, a member of the Oshawa Industrial Com- mission. The thanks of the gath- ering was voiced by President Charles Lancaster. It was stressed that every citizen of the community has a stake in the work being done by the industrial commission as it initiates factors which can con- tribute to the growth and wel- fare of the community as a whole. Well balanced industrial development, he said, is essen- tial to provide the greatest bene- fit to the community through economic development.

And Harold Brownlee, chiropractor, will be able to keep his office in his home at 86 Park road south. REJECT RECOMMENDATION Minutes hefore, council had voted 7 to 6 to reject planning board's recommendation that the area be not rezoned. The recorded vote went like this: re- tain R3 zoning -- Ald. Down, | Dyer, Bint, Bastedo, Dafoe and Mayor Christine Thomas For a zoning change -- Gay, Brady, Attersley, Mur- doch, Branch, Reardon and Walker. These seven carried the spotty Ald 4 final vote. 2 ASKED REZONING Mr. Brownlee first went to the planning board early in 1961, asking for an amendment to zoning bylaw to allow him to practise at his house. The R3 Consultant Watches Council D. B. Watson of Woods, Gor- don and Company, Toronto man- agement consultants, watched council wade through bylaws, committee reports and 32 agen- da items Monday night, includ- ing rezoning, margarine, the board of education's budget and the poll tax Mr. Watson also stayed for a council in committee meeting, held right after council. Ad- journment came shortly before 11.30 p.m Woods, Gordon is conducting the $10,700 civic administration study okayed by council two weeks ago. The survey is ex pected to take from five eight weeks. to}. . zoning would not allow this but R4 zoning would When council upheld the plan- ning board's refusal, Mr Brownlee asked that his prop- erty be rezoned; again council sided with and refused The third time, Mr. Brownlee came to planning board armed with two petitions: one assured that neighboring residents had no objection to Mr. Brownlee practising in his home; the sec- ond asked for rezoning on Park road's west side from Pine to Elmgrove. REQUEST SENT BACK When planning board again recommended refusal, council sent the request back to the board, suggesting that Park road be studied in the light of a city-wide study of frontage de- velopment on arterial streets. This was done. A block by block study of Park road (both sides) was done, from King right down to Highway 401. In the west side Pine - Elmgrove block, retention of zoning was recommended In fact, said the planners, on the basis of the results of the study, this block could be up- graded, to an R2 category. NO ALTERNATIVE "T can't see how anyone can suggest there's anything wrong with the planning after this sci- entific study,'"' said Ald. Dyer. "The board had no alternative the board, therefore it was con-|Milroy, the chairman, made a out on but ta recommend no change." Ald. Albert Walker thought the petitions should be a "strong factor', Ald. John Brady agreed: "It seems the people in the area are willing to have Mr. Brownlee there."' Retorted Ald. Dyer: "People will sign petitions both for and against the same thing. What a flimsy basis for a planning board to recommend change. "If you had seen the work they went through on this study There is no use having a planning board if council doesn't Special Service Held At St. Paul's A special Family Service was conducted Sunday evening, March 18, in St. Paul's Presby- terian Church. The members of the St. Paul's Building and Fi nance Committees were respon- sible for the service. One very pleasing aspect was the interest shown by the congregation in the work of these committees which was evidenced by the large attendance Those taking part were Ross Drew and Kenneth Rose, who read the Scripture lessons; John Nicholls who said the prayers, Ernest Whiting who addressed the children and Mervin Cairns who preached the sermon Mr. Cairns took as his theme the meaning the church as the body of believers and the responsibility that all the mem- bers had towards the Church of God, emphasizing that the ex- ternal form and organization of the church, while important and necessary, should nevertheless not be allowed to obscure the essentials of personal faith. The regular .church choir and organist had the evening off and other members of the above committees and their wives made up the choir and sang the anthem 'In the Garden" Bev. Smith of the finance jcommittee resided at the of organ and Mrs. Bey. Smith sang a special solo "An Evening Prayer' and acted as choir di- rector Present in the choir were Mr and Mrs. R. Andrews, Mr. and Mrs. F. Malloy, Mr, and Mrs R. Cornish, Mr. and Mrs. J MacLean, Mr. and Mrs. D. Turner, Mrs. M. Cairns, Mrs H. Walton, Mr. D. Stainton and Rev. D. Allen For the second part of the service the children retired to the lower hall of the. church where Harold Walton provided an interesting program of films assisted by Miss Bonnie Jarvis Before leaving for home each child received an Easter egg from Mr. Walton Members of the Young Peo ple's Bible Class, Gary Bradley, Wayne Bradley, Bob Calford, Jack Gillespie, Brian Copi- thorne, Eric Legge, Terry Bell,| and Rusty Goheen acted as ushers during the service One result of the service has been, to focus the attention of the congregation upon the faith- ful working of the building and finance committees and to dem- onstrate that their work is not merely financial but to continu- ally interest the people of the community in extending the in- fluence of the church and Gos- pel of Christ. the planning board ~ | tee. stand behind the recommenda-| Claimed the committee in its tion after this very scientific request for endorsation: "the study." present system limits our choice Then council voted 7 to & to\as consumers" and '"'discrimin- reject the board's 'No change"\ates against those in low in- recommendation. come brackets" 4 Ald.
