"2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, May 25, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN 'Farmer, Industry Parties Targets By THE CANADIAN 'PRESS {any vote for the Liberals was TAXES JUMP FROM $173 (IN °56) TO $472 TODAY A group of Annapolis avenue residents in Oshawa's northwest sector are up in arms. They claim their. taxes have been shooting upwards at an abnormal rate. 7 Eleven of their group tdrned up at City Council Monday night to ask for "some adjustment'" (along the lines grant- ed to Stevenson road north residents last year by the Ontario Municipal] Board). They were angry. Group Spokesman Robert W. Johnston of 473 Annapolis told a story of year-by-year tax increases that caused some Chamber spectators to ask if a grave injustice had not been done, if some assessment miscalculation had not fouled up the works, Said Johnston, a used-car salesman resident of Annapolis avenue for the past seven years: His taxes this year on his 1955 brick bungalow (with three bedrooms) were $472.38 as compared with $173 in 1956. Local improvements this year will cost him $139.13 (sidewalks -- $23.02; sewers -- $13.20; granular base -- $40.30; pavements -- $62.61). His monthly mortgage payments (he has 80-foot frontage by 112 feet deep) are approximately $53, His monthly tax payments are almost $40, Mr. Johnston told Council his bungalow was built for $10,500 -- he said that a new $21,000 home in the Glen Bray area was only taxed at $435. Lionel Vincent of 514 Annapolis said later that his 1962 taxes on a one-storey frame bungalow (without a basement or oil furnace) were $367.99 ($139.13 of which went for local improvements). This property is assessed at $6,270. Mr. Johnston said that the road had been paved for two years but he never knew what his share of the cost would be until he got this year's tax bill. City Clerk Roy Barrand said cost notices go out to each homeowner affected after the work is done, but Mr. Johnston cannot recall getting such a notice. The Annapolis avenue complaint deserves a thorough investigation to see if the tax rate increase in that area is as "'excessive" as some of the residents think. The Board of Works has the matter in hand. Hundreds of taxpayers will watch its investigation with interest. BANFIELD NAMED TO NHBA COUNCIL Allen Banfield, an Oshawa subdivider, has been elected to the Ontario Council of the National Home Builders Asso- ciation -- Lee Wismer, also of Oshawa, has been appointed to a committee that will study the effects of the Labor Rela- tions Act on the building industry. They are members of the Oshawa Builders Association. JAYCEES COP FIRST PLACE AT ST. KITTS Bouquets to the Oshdwa Jaycees. They did Oshawa proud at the recent 5th Annual All- Ontario Jaycees Convention in St. Catharines. They won second place award in the Leadership Training Program (Business Management, Public Speak- ing, etc.) in competition with other Jaycee units from cities of 50,000 and over. They also won a fourth place award for their Bro- therhood Week program. Fred Ball is president of the Oshawa club. Bill Ed- wards is Awards and Con- vention chairman. The pet projects of the 14- year-old Oshawa club are its Traffic Safety program and its Town Forum during the municipal election cam- paign when all candidates are given an opportunity to speak. BILL EDWARDS The Oshawa Jaycees are one of our most civic- minded groups; despite limited financial means (as com- pared with older service clubs), they do much to make Oshawa a better place in which to live. MUNICIPAL SURVEY NEARS FINALE STAGE Oshawa's municipal set-up survey started last February by Woods, Gordon and Co. is still in the 'fact-finding' stage, but should be completed by the end of June. D, B. Watson (of Woods, Gordon) made this statement today. He said the most difficult phase of the survey --.de- ciding what to do with the mass of facts compiled -- was ahead. This will involve several of the firm's consultants (such as an engineer, office system and organizations men). "We hope our major recommendations will be ready for preliminary discussions in a month," he said. Woods, Gordon has a staff of six working on the survey at present. NOTES FROM THE HUSTINGS OF ONTARIO RIDING: The Social Credit Party ofy Canada is putting out a spe- cial election campaign paper for the upcoming June 18 vote-- the front-page headlines read; "Social Credit Out to Win Plans Full Slate Coast to Coast." Arthur Heard, 82, of Uxbridge, says he is the oldest active Tory in his district. He turned up at a PC meeting the other night and told about a long-age meeting with Sir John A. Macdonald in 1891, Mr. Heard was 11. Sir John was Prime Minister. The place was the Port Perry Fair. The New Democratic Party opened its committee room in Whitby Wednesday -- the NDP's also have a committee room in Oshawa at Celina and Athol streets. NDP Candidate Eileen Hall was the guest of honor at a political rally in the UAW Hall last Saturday under the aus- pices of the Oshawa and District Labor Council. LIFE-CAN-BE-BEAUTIFUL DEPARTMENT "You will have your little problems from time to time, perhaps, with City Hall departments, especially the City En- gineering Departmyent -- this is sent to try you, to try your mettle. Must grin and bear it. It will soon pass." MAYOR CHRISTINE THOMAS, speaking at the Civic Night dinner of the Oshawa Builders' . Association. SEEK WHL FRANCHISE TORONTO (CP)--New York state police tuned in on a tele- phoned tipoff from Toronto on a synchronized descent on gam- bling places by officers in New York and Ontario in 1959, the Ontario royal commission on crime was told Thursday. The commission was told that New York state troopers used] a witetap--legal in that state-- to record the call from a Tor- onto gambling establishment to a suspected American premises. It apparently had resulted from a leak at Ontario Provincial Police headquarters. Commission evidence _ indi- cated that the Ontario end of the raids, in preparation for months, failed. There was no indication of how they fared south of the border. | Sgt. John Anderson of the OPP's anti-gambling squad had indicated previously he sus- pected a tipoff came from a squad member who slipped out of headquartesr right after of-) ficers were briefed, but Thurs-) day brought the first disclosure that N.Y. police tracked it back here.

Salan to life im- prisonment--rather than death, 'as had been expected--may be more hurtful to de Gaulle's poli- cies than previous setbacks. It was on June 1, 1958, that de Gaulle resumed the leader- ship of a country on the verge of civil war as a result of the Algerian fighting and a succes- sion of weak governments in Paris. "I am a man who belongs to nobody and who belongs to everybody,"' said the man who) rallied Frenchmen in the Sec- ond World War. ACTS ALONE De Gaulle's thoughts and stra- tegy, it soon became Clear, be- longed to de Gaulle alone and the process by which Algeria won peace terms on the basis of eventual independence be- came known only as it unfolded. "I believe it would be com- pletely useless to petrify in ad- vance in words something which our enterprise itself will out- line," said de Gaulle in October | 1958. On May 23, 1962, Salan's de- fence scored with the argument that the former commander-in- jchief of French forces in Al- |geria remained faithful to his oath to keep Algeria French and jit was government policy--not Salan--that changed. The defence read a letter) written by de Gaulle to Salan) jwhile the latter was still com- |mander in Algeria. In this, de Gaulle ressed the intention) that Algeria would remain' French.
