2 Pal ALAM Aaa 4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Mey 8, 1962 HEAR EVIDENCE IN SECRET Bowmanville Starts Probe Into Industrial BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- A probe into the town's indus- trial affairs is now being car- ried out by the industrial com- mittee, council learned last night. Evidence will be held in secret, Councillor Kenneth Hooper stated. Results of the investigation will be announced. (The motion setting up the robe was moved by Councillor Sooper and seconded by Coun- cillor G. Hughes, chairman of the industrial committee.) The announcement came on the heels of what one councillor termed "recent controversy in the press". The probe halted passage of a bylaw calling for the servicing of industrial land. Councillor Jack Brough, who did not attend Wednesday night's industrial commit- tee meeting, thought the bylaw should have been put to a vote last night. "T feel that tonight we're at a very important cross-road," he raid. "The newspapers have made quite a controversy about this and I think it's unfortunate that when this whole question came up a public meeting was iia not called to discuss the indus- © trial development program for ; . the town." For the benefit of the taxpay- | ers who nearly filled the council © chambers, Mr. Brough said he didn't think the people were ie educated to all the facts. ; "The total cost to service this | industrial land was to be $134,- 000 which was to include a $74,- 000 bridge over Soper Creek," he said, "and the provincial | government would pay 80 per ~ cent of the cost of the bridge."' | Mr. Brough was perturbed over the fact that "the town doesn't own a stick of land. We're always giving it away and when we try to get it back we have to pay through the nose. Here is our chance to get some choice land, or better still, industry, and we're passing it vote of the people, but nothing ever came of it. Council heard conflicting views in letters from the Cham- ber of Commerce and the Brookdale Kingsway Nurseries Ltd. The C of C letter was in the form of a resolution volun- teering its strong support to town council and the Industrial Committee in any efforts that may be made to strengthen the town's program of attracting in- dustry. But' the next item on_ the agenda was the Brookdale- Kingsway letter stating that the directors of Bowbrook Invest- ments Ltd. were advising coun- cil that the agreement between this company and the town re- lating to an option to purchase industrial land was void as a result of recent decisions by town council, The reason given for this de- icision was the unnecessary econ- jomic hardship it would. cause ithe Brookdale-Kingsway Nur- series by witholding the land from production to permit the immediate location of industrial KENNETH HOOPER buildings, when it could be used és *) for $5000 and intended to build!yp in three years at $1000 an| 4a new Pepsi Cola plant costing | | 4 $100,000. | 4 than a firm committment," said 4 one."

"Tt is regrettable that this decision should come at such short notice," said Councillor Wesley Fice, "especially at a time when we don't know yet just what might happen." Council decided to receive and file both pieces of corre- spondence. The industrial servicing by- law was deferred by council until the industrial committee investigation is completed. DENIES RUMORS Councillor Wesley Fice denied rumors that he is prejudiced in this matter because the ser- vices would be going east from Liberty street on the Base Line Lita and not west to where his prop- erty is.

It came to council in the Board of Works committee re- port which was submitted for approval, giving Recreation Di- rector Dougias Riggs $5400 for this year. 5 y' Councillor Wesley Fice said that it was decided by a one- i|vote majortiy at the Board of /|Works committee (4 - 3) that Mr. Riggs salary be the same as it was last year. "We were led to believe that we have no jurisdiction over his salary," said Mr. Fice, "and that it had to be increas- ed by $300 every year. But I think we do have jurisdiction. ) |He's a town employee." A motion to delete the section regarding the director's salary from the Board of Works re- port was lost in a tie vote (4-4) with Mayor Ivan Hobbs refus- ing to break the deadlock.
