Why is he anxious to 'whitewash'? this sad chapter in municipal affairs? To get back to Mr. Ross' marathon letter. All questions will get a reply, but not in one column. NO. 1 -- WHY DO WE NEED A CITY MANAGER? IF YOUR ANSWER IS SIMPLY BECAUSE OTHER MUNICI- PALITIES HAVE ONE, I WOULD PREFER SOME CON- CRETE EXAMPLES OF THEIR USEFULNESS IN ALL PHASES OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT. Oshawa needs a CM Plan because it has too much muni- cipal waste, because its government machinery is outmoded. The CM Plan is a sensible, modern way to handle muni- cipal housekeeping. Simplicity is the keynote to its success The voters elect the councilmen. The council appoints and may remove the CM (a trained administrator of proven record, without local affiliations.) The CM has full authority over the de- partmental heads. He does not set policy. He carries it out. He relieves the Council of heavy detail work, so that it can give more time and thought to policy-making. The CM Plan has become the most popular type of gov- ernment for all U.S. cities of over 10,000 population in half a century. It is used by about one-third of the communities of between 5,000 and 10,000. Since the Second World War, about one-third of the communities of between 5,000 and 10,000 have adopted it. Could a factory with a $10,000,000-a-year business (Osh- awa's total) operate efficiently without a highly competent manager? Would the directors get all tangled up in petty details, confer with the department heads, or would they entrust this to a manager? This is what our Council does: For concrete examples of a CM's usefulness: When Sarnia's new CM discovered in the early 1950's that the Crown-owned Polymer Corp. (synthetic rubber) was paying $35,000 annually in City taxes, he thought this was far too small -- through "'peaceful negotiations' he had, this amount raised to $100,000 and then to $230,000 annually (after a re-assessment survey), which new-found revenue would pay his salary many times over for many years. (His salary? -- $12,000.) Windsor's new CM more than paid his salary in the first year by one move -- changing the system of purchasing gasoline for municipal departments. In 1958 gas purchased for Windsor cost 34.8 cents a gallon. In 1961 it cost 27.43 cents a gallon. On the basis of Windsor's 1961 purchase of approximately 324,000 gallons, this represented a saving of $23,878.80. Catch water basis were reduced from $40 in 1958 to $35 in 1961. The CM Plan has been in operation in Windsor (Ontario) since January 1, 1959. Here's what Mayor. Michael Patrick, of Windsor said, of it recently: "Prior to the adoption of this system, we had a board of control and now that we have had more than two years operation under the new system, I am more convinced than ever that my action was correct in leading the Council to recommend its adoption. "The benefits of such a system contain many intangi- bles difficult to list in an orderly manner; however, I would say that from the point of view of the Council, the great advantage is that it is relived immediately of the mass of petty detail which consumes the time of elected representatives who have their own personal business to conduct. "The principal advantage here is, of course, that the Council does have time to consider matters of policy and has one central figure under its direction who has authority over the departments and who is responsible for seeing that the Council's instructions are carried out. "For example, in 1961 nearly $900,000 was trimmed from the estimates before they were considered by the Council. COUNCIL AGENDAS TOO LONG "The Council retains control of its policy-making func- tions and the CM carries out his duties within the framework of the. politices established by the Council. The labor-man- agement relations under this system have been excellent. The system has been accepted and commended by both management and labor. "I think the best illustration of the value of this plan to our municipality is the fact that since January 1959 the City of Windsor credit position has steadily improved. "The immediate effect of the CM's appointment here was the negotiation by him with the banks for a reduction in the City's interest rate and a tightening of the City's pur- chasing procedures. "In the first year the saving in the interest charges alone more than paid for the complete operation of the CM's of- fice. It might be argued that this could have geen achieved under any other system; however, the simple fact is that nobody attempted it "One of the problems was that of the citizen who on telephoning to a city department for action on a matter of poor garbage collection, broken sidewalk, etc., is often pas- sed from one department to another. We have a centralized complaint system in the CM's office through which all com- plaints and specific requests for investigation by the mem- bers of Council are passed. We do not attempt all the im- provements we would like to do, but we do find there is public appreciation of the fact that there is a channel for these requests'. Could any adult citizen attend open Council for more than two meetings and not realize how flabby, outdated Oshawa's municipal set-up is? The agendas are too long. Trivial items get more atten- tion than major issues. The Marks committee -- it studied our municipal set-up for several months in 1960 -- emphasized this point. It was named to study the question of improvements in our civic administration. It emphasized the lack of "co-ordination or follow up" on Council. It was careful to avoid any suggestions as a body, that it favored the CM Plan (this is a nasty word at City Hall,) but some of its members could not hide this true feelings in- cluding ex-Alderman Sydney Hopkins who said: "Council should look for a City Manager or co-ordinator, as too much time is being spent on detail by Council and not nearly enough on policy-making .Council is not free to do what it was elected to do -- set policy".

First convention-floor discus- sion of resolutions was sched- uled today, after a report by Canadian President Ken Smith. The five - day convention has drawn 200 representatives of the union's strength, set at 100,000 in the metal-mining industries of the continent Mr. Clark--in an opening ad- (dress and in the officers' report lhe read later -- catigated the 'arch-rival United Steelworkers lof America which leads jurisdic- itional raids on Mine-Mill in -both | countries. | He said he Is confident the American section will win the fifth in a series of attempts to find former or present union leaders guilty of Communist in- fluence. This latest test arises from a report of the U.S. sub- versive activities control board last December. LABELLED COMMUNIST The report recommended that Mine-Mill be labelled Commu- nist-infiltrated and a hearing is pending. Mine - Mill would be barred from bargaining for its members if such an allegation is substantiated. Mine-Mill is barred from af- filiation with central labor groups -- the Canadian Labor |Congress or the American AFL- }ClO--and is vulnerable to raids from affiliated unions Survey In Toronto On Hospital Needs TORONTO (CP)--A survey to determine hospital needs in Metropolitan Toronto was an- nounced Monday by the Ontario Hospital Services Commission and the Ontario Hospital Asso- ciation Officials of the organizations said the objective of the study is to establish a plan of require- ments for beds, teaching and re- search facilities, diagnostic and outpatient departments. Ex- pected to take two years to complete, the study will start almost immediately. The Metro area has been es- timated to need 8,000 beds or lfive beds for 1,000 persons. An- jother 200 beds a year are jneeded to maintain the ratio. MILD ~ released take-over bid.

McGill To Use West Indies | To Fire Rocket MONTREAL (CP) -- McGill University will use a West In- dies base for the firing of high- altitude projectiles from a spe- cial "rocket-cannon." The launching site, a high- altitude station at McGill's Brace Research Institute in Barbados, was officially opened Monday by Sir John Stow, gov- ernor of the West Indies islands. The scheme, developed by McGill scientists under Dr. Ger- ald V. Bull and expected to be operative within a matter of weeks, involves the firing of small missile - shaped vehicles into the earth's atmosphere. Instead of ammunition, the vehicles will carry chemicals and measuring equipment. Once in the upper atmos- phere: they will record reactions and transmit them back to the ground by radio. In this way, McGill scientists hope to learn more about the physical and chemical proper- ties of the atmosphere. Eventually, a 16-inch gun will fire rockets ignited on the threshold of space by earth- bound scientists. McGill believes these rockets will attain orbital speeds and may even succeed in breaking away from the earth to soar into Ouler space. ACCEPT HANDICAPPED VANCOUVER (CP) -- Handi- capped and chronically sick children should be accepted as part of society and not segre- gated into "disease clubs,"' Dr. Bruce Graham, head of pedi- atrics at University of British Columbia, said in an address here.

But France is also faced with the complex of attempting to restore a semblance of confi- dence among the European set- tlers who live in dread of a Moslem takeover of government power. FEAR EXPLOITED Khrushchev's recognition of the provisional Moslem govern- ment can only accentuate set- tlers' fears with Algeria. Their fear of. a Moslem as- sumption of power has been ex- ploited ruthlessly by the lead- ers of the illegal Secret Army Organization now locked in a deadly battle with the French Army. De Gaulle's move came only after he had seen the Soviet ambassador twice to try to get an explanation of the Russian step. The atmosphere was described as glacial. The president an- grily complained of a Soviet propaganda campaign in which the French were described as "brutal colonialists armed to the teeth." Since no explanation came from either the ambassador or his mentors in Moscow the the French government said it was forced to conclude that 'maintenance of Franco-Soviet relations at the ambassadoral level and become impossible." Fulton Urges Fight Against Delinquency OTTAWA (CP)--Justice Min- ister Fulton said Monday a concentrated and co-ordinated effort must be made at all to come to grips with Canada's juvenile delinquency problem. He told the Commons it is es- sential to find those youngsters prone to crime before they go too far down the wrong path. If this could be achieved, "we will have gone a fair way to prevent incipient delinquents from becoming hardened crim- inals."' Mr. Fulton reported on prog- ress of a current departmental review of the Juvenile Delin- quents Act during discussion of a private member's motion deal- ing with this subject. The motion, introduced by Gordon Aiken (PC -- Parry Sound - Muskoka), requested a government review of the. act. In view of announcement in January of the justice depart- ment study, the motion was talked out without a vote.
