Prominent labor arbitrator, Charles L. Dubin, QC, of To- ronto, will be approached with a view to placing the board's ease before an arbitration board. Mr. Dubin will be asked to act either as arbitrator or counsel by the board which has 14 days to name its representa- tive. The board announced its de cision in the form of a motion to form a three-man committee under Chairman Robert Stroud to investigate the possibilities of retaining Mr. Dubin. The two| members of the committee will] be Trustees John M. Greer and Russell G. Murphy, both of whom are also lawyers. NO DATE SET Trustee Greer, who recom- mended Mr. Dubin to the board, said in the event 'the Toronto lawyer is not available for the hearings, he might still be in a position to recommend an al- ternative counsel. No date has been set for the hearing The dispute over the position arose when the board chose an employee in the low seniority bracket for the vacancy. The union objected to the board's choice and brought its case to several grievance committee meetings each of which ended in a stalemate Local 18 announced at meeting of Oshawa and District Labor Council Apri! 10 that the matter would be placed in the hands of an arbitration board In a letter to the board, dated April 7, the union said it could not accept the board's explana tion for the choice. BETTER QUALIFIED It was the feeling of the board that the man they chose for the vacancy, although having less seniority than several of the other eight applicants, was bet- ter qualified for the position Trustee George Drynan said he thought the union's interpre- tation of the clause regarding promotions in the agreement, was that if the man had the} seniority and was qualified that was the end of it. No matter how much better qualified any other applicant might be A certain amount of confusion arose over several other griev- ances mentioned in the April 7 letter from the local. Some members of the board were under the impression that these grievances had been with- drawn by the local. Trustee Dry- nan said he felt a paragraph in the letter could be interpreted as a denial of any withdrawal. | When Trustee Margaret Shaw} raised the question of these" grievances being included in ar-| bitration Trustee Drynan re-| plied that he was only sure that | they were going to arbitrate on the chief custodian grievance. SUGGEST NO CHANGE Embroiled in teacher salary negotiations with representa- tives of the city's public school teachers, Finance Committee Crairman Dr. A. E. O'Neill re- ported his committee were not prepared to recommend any changes in the board's salary rate offer at this time Also adopted was a recommen- dation by the finance commit- tee that members of the main- tenance staff with fourth class engineer's certificates be given! a lump sum payment of $50 in- stead of a wage adjustment. The $50 payment would be made immediately to cover out of pocket expenses incurred by employees taking the examina- tion for fourth class papers. The motion was amended to read, "a first and final payment' be- fore it was adopted Maintenance Superintendent 30 Resignations | Handed To Board At the meeting of committees, Teachers' College would be in- showing many exciting action of the Oshawa Board of Educa tion for both secondary and public school affairs terviewed in Oshawa Trustee A.

Where an employee was asked', to assume the extra responsibil- ity of heating plants he should be given an annual increase, he said Without the engineer's certifi- cation he could not be held re- sponsible for any accidents but under the new system he could, Mr. Lunney said. He went on to point out that some of the staff had gone out on their own and had qualified for their certificates and in some cases were not employed in positions where the certifi- cates were ncessary. He asked if the board was going to-pay these men the $50 payment. Trustee A. E. O'Neill said it had been his understanding that| they would all get it whether| they used the certificate or 'not | BTS Boys Are Guests | Of Jaycees More than 50 boys from Jury House at the Boys' Training School, Bowmanville, were en- tained by the Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce at Hotel} Genosha Monday night.

Rotarian Everson gave the 'Well, we're on the merry-go- s Driver Gets jround for another ~ ee One Month sie ePrice night as council turned down a) bid by the Board of Works to allow Knight's road residents to have septic tanks installed on their properties. Negotiations started in 1956, said Works Chairman Walter R.| Branch, but the people have) never been able to agree on what they want. More trouble stems from the fact that the road, which varies in width from 24 feet to 27 feet, 10 inches, isn't really a road. At least Mayor Christine Thomas says it isn't. William J. Lytle, 40, RR3, Port }Perry, was sentenced to one month in jail in Oshawa Magis- trate's Court Monday when he pleaded guilty a charge of be- ling drunk in charge of a motor ivehicle. The accused was found slum- ped over the wheel of his car in a ditch on Taunton road east, April 7, A part bottle of liquor was found in the glove compart- ment of the car at the time. Acting for Lytle, W. J. 'Mac- Donald said the accused had been driving for 25 years and had only had one previous charge. This was also for drunk 'driving. Mr. MacDonald said his client's actions were caused by| |his financial situation. He had a jsick mother to support in ad- \dition to his own family. | In addition to the jail sentence |Magistrate Frank Ebbs ordered) |the car owned by the accused impounded for three months and }suspended his licence for one year, A further charge of having liquor in a place other than his residence was withdrawn by the |crown. IN SERIOUS TROUBLE Her Worship asked City Solic- itor E. G .McNeely to find out if the'city could run a sewer line up the road and "charge them frontage basis'. "These people are really in serious trouble,' stressed Ald. Branch, who spoke of water- filled basements and outdoor toilets. Only Ald. Cephas Gay voted with the board of works to allow septic tanks. Ald. E. F. Bastedo wondered why the board was recommend- ing septic tanks when drainage _was so bad basements had water in them. MUST FACE CHARGES Dr. C. C. Stewart,' Oshawa DALLAS, Tex.

When the MOH, who has sole authority to issue septic tank permits, warns of serious health hazards, I cannot support the recommendation." Ald, Branch pointed out that with a sewer line ,the city would have to buy property ad- jacent to the creek, "at consid- erable expense"'. Commented Ald. Norman Down: 'No one can convince me that Septic tanks won't work on less than 7,500 square feet. This is the lesser of two evils.' Paved Roads Requested Cedar street from Wentworth to.Stone is a dried-up riverbed. The Jasper avenue-Cedar street area is completely, neglected by the city. These charges were contained in a letter to city c ouncil from Jack Phipps, a Jasper avenue homeowner, The writer says he has lived in the south Oshawa area for six years and the only im- provement has been a '"'few'* sidewalks. Mr. Phipps complained the street is graded several times a year and "then we are bother- ed by dust and we can't open the windows nor hang out the washing." He suggested paved roads and waste-containers for the area, as well as a few trees on the boulevards. Board of Works committee will examine the requests.
