To the pupils, parents and many of the iewer residents of the city it is of in- terest to look back on Miss Hislop's place in the commun- ity. Miss Fannie Hislop was ap- pointed to the Albert Street School in September, 1877 short- ly after the school was built. She gave unstintingly of her services to education for more than 45 years as_ principal of Albert Street School. She re- six months period in 1880 when she taught in the town of Lis- towel her entire service was in Oshawa. She was one of the best and an enviable record for punctual- ity and in all these years she |was never known to have been late.

No decision has as yet been handed down by the Board of Transport Commissioners. The two man board held two days of hearings in Oshawa in early April. With no decision forthcoming from the board, said Ald. Fin- ley Dafoe last night, forming a committee to hear the asked-for negotiations would be a '"'good step". He later withdrew his motion when it was suggested that pos- sibly two additional would be whole council firms. Ald..

The councillors who didn't jump the hurdle were: Ald. E. F. Bastedo, Cecil Bint,Norman Down and John Dyer, OBJECTIONS VOICED Ald. Bastedo's objections in- cluded plaza entrances and exits (inadequate, a traffic men- ace") work priorities and esthe- tics ( we are parting with |parkland"), Ald, Down: "We have no right to gamble with the pub- lic's money." Ald. "Citizens will ed: "I was under the impres- sion it was council's decision to wait for the board's decision; and if their ruling was not fa- vorable to the city, to negotiate then." Replied Ald, E. F. Bastedo: "Negotiations are most fruitful when the solution is. uncertain, not after the decision is known. If we don't meet now, we won't be able to do anything until Dyer: private shoulder a debenture debt to accommodate prise."' Ald. Bint didn't reveal his reasons for opposing the rezon- ing.

Toronto Speeder Find $15, Costs BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- A Toronto man was fined $15 and costs or five days in absentia here Tuesday after police said he was driving a car bumper to bumper with another car at 70 miles an hour in'a 60 mph zone.

TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY Last night's vote had to carry by a two-thirds majority be- cause planning board members chose to support the city parks plan which calls for this north- south valley land to be left in its natural. state. Dominion Stores Limited plans call for the straightening of Oshawa Creek, a four lane John street (with a new bridge) from Centre street to Nassau street and a north entrance to the plaza from King street in the form of a crescent. (Athol crescent). The two south entrances will be from John street. The north entrance will bend easterly, with the new brewers' retail in the crook of the "arm" and the crescent will end in a circle, avoiding crossing the creek to hook up with the present Athol street west. This extension was formerly included in DSL plans. Will Punish Pool Vandals Property Committee Chair- man Ald, Albert Walker issued a stern warning to would-be vandals Tuesday night: Wilful destruction of pool property (the city now has two in operation) will be met with the full severity of the law. Said Ald. Walker: "We will not stand for wilful destruction of pool property. Our swim- ming facilities are too few. We have encountered considerable destruction at Somerset Pool. Every spring it is the same thing -- reports of vandalism in our parks. : Ald. Walker reminded par- ents that swim lessons for the youngsters start today, He said that more than 800 children Have been enrolled to date. These plans will necessitate a $127,500 debenture issue on the city's part, according to Ald. Walter Branch. Dominion will give the city $75,000 toward John street im- provements. This sum is exclu- sive of an estimated $23,300 in local improvement charges on this street which Dominion will also have to pay. In addition, the company will deed the road allowance for John street to the city (they own the land on both sides of the road). The company will also pay the entire costs of straightening the creek and the pavement and service costs on Athol cres- cent, AGREEMENT BASIS Here is a suggested "'basis of agreement" read to council by Ald, Branch: 1) Formal agreement to be signed on conditions prior to final rezoning. 2) Seventy-five thousand do!- lars cash prior to the com- mencement of construction on John street to be paid by DSL; exclusive of. local improvement charges ($23,300), 3) DSL to pay to the city the total cost of pavement and services on the north-south leg of Athol Crescent, including the cost of channelization and wi- dening on King street; and the north-south leg of Athol Cres- cent be made a_ public high- way. The estimated cost of the work is to be paid prior to the construction on Athol Crescent and an adjustment made when the final costs are known. 4) All entrances to the proj- ect are to be constructed in ac- cordance with the requirements of the city. 5) The Creek diversion is to be constructed in the manner and location required by the city, in order to facilitate the future construction of the Creek Valley roadway. 6) DSL to deed to the city the land to the west bank of the creek as diverted. 7) DSL to convey to the city the part of their land required for John street, free of charge. 8) The city is to construct the pavement and services on Athol Crescent and the underground services, the bridge and the granular base on John street from Centre street to Nassau Street, in 1963, 0) The city is to construct the pavement on John street from ri a to Nassau street, in START IN FALL Ald. Branch called this a "considerably better agreement than before". He told council the company wants to start on creek diversion in the fall ("it is the best time to do this work") and hopes for occu- pancy of its store by late 1963. Mayor Thomas answered cri- tics of the proposed plaza's that, "all three (city; Damas and Smith, traffic consultants; Dominion's. own) engineers said there would be no traffic-tieups with the planned entrances." Carrying the John street plan further, Her Worship said John might .go through Park road next year (the traffic report called for this in 1969) "perhaps benefiting those who are ob- jecting." This was a reference to com- plaints from Oshawa Shopping Centre landlord, United Princi- pal Investments Limited. BARRISTER SPEAKS Russell Murphy, a city law- yer, spoke briefly to council on behalf of UPIL to register their objections to development of the plaza. Mr, Murphy t¢jd The Times later that he was retained late yesterday to speak for UPIL; he said the complaint was, "there isn't enough busi- ness to go around" and this development) would "spread the business even thinner". Ald. Bastedo had what he called "technical objections" as well as three separate rea- sons for opposing which he listed later, He wanted to know what as- surance the city would have that DSL would not sell the land to someone else after re- zoning was a fact. He pointed out that all the restrictions and agreements in the plaus would be removed from a sub- sequent owner, City Solicitor E. G. McNeely said prohibitive clauses could be written in to any agreement: such as one calling for the re- version of the zoning category to valley in the event the com- pany didn't carry out its pro- posed plans for the plaza. AGAINST CONDITIONS Ald. Bastedo also objected to imposing conditions after ap- proval from the Ontario Muni- cipal Board as suggested by Ald. Branch. "What is the good of impos- ing restrictions after OMB ap- proval of the project?" he asked. His three separate reasons were as follows: 1) proposed entrances and exits -- "I'm no traffic expert but I think these are inade- quate and a traffic menace." 2) economic -- "The John street extension is slated for 1969 in the traffic report; you want it in 1963, What has prior- ity? What are you going to drop from capital works? Where is the money coming from?"' 3) pure zoning -- "Meetings have been mainly concerned with mechanics. Some munici- palities are spending vast sums for parkland; here we are parting with it .Whether this is progress is questionable. "If Dominion Stores wants to locate in Oshawa, we will get the assessment wherever they go." Said Ald. Dyer, anothe sai jector: "I'm opposed on econ- omics." (He supported rezoning in Planning Board). "I don't think citizens should be called upon to carry this de- benture debt to accommodate a private enterprise." WILL PROVIDE WORK Mayor Thomas reiterated her arguments about the project making work, not only during its construction, but also the employees needed to staff the stores. And, of course, the busi- ness and property assessment. Added Ald. Finley Dafoe: "Looking at our debenture debt, I don't think much (parkland development) work will be done down there." "We will have additional re- venue coming in from a site which would otherwise be a lia- bility. Another shopping centre won't hurt; it will bring in oth- ers to shop". Ald. John Brady agreed: "It will be a great benefit. I'm not afraid of a $125,000 debenture. No particular shopping centre should haye a monopoly." "I can't agree that we need another shopping centre," ar- gued Ald. Down. "We have no right to take the public's money to gamble."
