To investigate these de- mands, certain to result in in- creased estimated costs to the city, a four man committee was struck last night by Mayor Christine Thomas, on a motion by Property Committee chair- man Albert Walker. The four: Mayor Thomas;/ Ald. E, F. Bastedo, finance chairman; Ald. Walter Branch, Board of Works chairman; and Ald. Finley Dafoe. The committee is expected to swing into action today and see if the details can be worked out before next Monday. There is a possibility of a 5 p.m. council meeting next week. $10,000 COMPENSATION Last Thursday, according to Mayor Christine Thomas, coun- cil agreed, at a special meet- ing at which all three firms were represented, that $10,000 in compensation would be paid to each of the firms. Council was unanimous in this, said the mayor and the only proviso mentioned by the company spokesmen was as- surance that an unloading site) be made available by the CNR) at Mary and Athol streets. | LETTERS READ Last night, however, letters (dated Friday, July 6) from all three companies were read with these additional and similar de-| mands: tracks removal, includ- ing the spurs on the private property of the companies, be removed at no cost to the com- panies. That the track roadbeds on the private property be re- stored. All three letters stressed that accommodation at the Athol- Mary site have all the neces- sary facilities. "We were nearer. settlement last Thursday than we are to- night," said Ald. Walter after hearing the letters. read. ESTIMATE SUBMITTED The CNR sent a letter to} City Solicitor E. G. McNeely, (also dated July 6) giving their estimates of tracks removal and offering the city $15,000 if the city would carry out the ac- tual removal work. CNR estimates: Between Mary and MeMillan drive -- $4,000. This was based on an estimated $2000 scrap value for Two Convicted For Breakin To Hold Party 7 <x: COBOURG -- Two young men and their girl friends ripp- ed a piece from the door of a house in Bewdley to gain entry, held a party inside, then sold} the owner's record player for] 15 This story was revealed in| magistrate's court here Friday. John A. White, 22, and Donald A. Davis, both of Oshawa, were] jn convicted of breaking and en try and theft of a record play- er and an automatic toaster from the home of Peter Yeo, Bewdley. Davis was remanded out of custody and White in custody to July 20 for pre-sentence re- rts. Neighbors told Const. Claude Courville that two youths and two girls had their car towed out from the Yeo residence that Friday night, June 29, and that Johnny White was one of them. The youths were located in Osh-/ awa. White told the officer that Davis sold the record player to the tracks themselves, which was subtracted from a $6000 total cost. | This figure, said the letter, includes the cost of removing the overhead wires, the poles and the spurlines from the three industries involved. Further estimates by the CNR: $11,000 for excavating "worn out material below the rails,"' refilling with crushed affected. --$7,500 for providing the un- loading location, 'equipped with fences, unloading pits, high voltage wires." SEE $3,800 LOSS --The railway claimed it is making a "substantial conces- sion" on the rental for the prop- erty over a five-year period. They estimated the -loss at $3800. The CNR then offered the city $15,000 if the city would do the actual removal work. The railway argued that it would be contributing "about 50 per cent" of the cost with its $15,000 to the city, $7,500 to be spent on the unloading site and its $3,800 loss. They were comparing these costs with the $30,000 in com- pensation to be paid by the city. But Mayor Thomas smiled and shook her head, "No." "All these letters indicate it is going to cost us a lot more than $30,000," she said. "'We will have to study these letters more closely. "That $15,000 is only their estimate of lifting the tracks and replacing the roadbed." DAFOE URGES ACTION Ald. Dafoe wanted to get started "right away." He said: "Let's make up our minds to do this job right away." Mayor Thomas reminded him that the Ontario Municipal Act does not allow a munici- pality to pay compensation to private firms. She said a spe- cial bill would have to be pass- ed by the Ontario Legislature, which, she said, does not meet until November. "Besides," added her Wor- ship, "it would be foolish to patch up the' street and then have to do it all again next year." The mayor was alluding to the fact that the city wants to repave the entire street, not just the middle portion cover- ed by the tracks, and also put in new sidewalks on both sides of King street. REPAVING COSTS Ald. Branch gave these fig- ures: repaving from Mary to MeMillan -- $157,000; the city's share would be $115,000 and local improvement charges the rest. 'We would hope for a 50 per cent {subsidy from the Department of Highways," said Ald Branch. --Sidewalk, $52,000, with the city's share at $23,500. Esti- mated total cost to the city, $81,000. "This figure does not include the replacing of any under- ground services," stressed Ald. Branch, "We don't know what condition the sewer lines are "T think the CNR estimate to rebuild the track bed and re- move the tracks is low." agreed Ald. Branch, in reply to a ques- tion from Ald. Walker. City Engineer Fred Crone will be back from holidays Monday and until then, suggested Mayor Thomas, city estimates on the work would not be available. "I wonder how they estimated the cost?" asked the mayor. "They are only obligated to fix up the tracks area,"' remind- ed Ald. Dafoe. Ald, Walker: "I didn't think from discussions the other night that we would have to remove tracks from their (the three an unknown person on Queen street, Toronto, for $15.

He took the licence number of} the youth's car, however. | The toaster was found in the White home. Davis had a re-! cord. Constable Courville. said) he felt Davis was the ring- Ih firms) land." Ald. Norman Down: 'Can we go on private property?" Ald. Gordon Attersley: "We don't have any cost estimates from the city. We can't proceed on this," MEMBERS LEAVING Another difficulty -- Both Mayor Thomas and Ald. Walker are flying to England next Mon- day. In addition, at least four other council members are ex- pected to be away for parts of rock and repaving the are al quorum together would be slight. 'Why the emphasis on 100 per cent council attendance?" asked Ald. Bastedo, who agreed with setting up the committee. '"'Let's put a real drive on now." "Why the emphasis on speed?" asked Mayor Thomas in return. "We can't do anything with the street until spring. We are not going to dig up the street twice." There is a question, added the mayor, of whether the city can get the private Bill before the legislature in time for the fall session. She promised to find out the latest possible date for the Bill's submission. ROTARY HONORS AREA GOVERNOR Edward G. Storie, who was recently honored by his appointment as governor of District 707, Rotary Interna- tional, was honored Monday by members of the Rotary club of Oshawa. On behalf of the club, Presi- dent Fay Brooks presented Rotarian Storie with a brief case as a mark of the esteem in which he is held by the members. Governor Storie will com- mence his official visits to the more than 45 clubs in his dis- trict when he pays a visit to the Colborne Club.

Man Fined For Bad Language William George Bolan, 22, 5 Albany street, was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 or 10 days in the county jail in Oshawa Mag- istrate's Court Monday, on a charge of using insulting and obscene language. Bolan was arrested July 7 by Constables C. W. Gallogley and L. S. Young. Constable Gallog- ley told the court that on that date he and Constable Young were investigating an accident on Simcoe street south when they heard Bolan using obscene language. The officer said that when he was questinoning the man in- volved in the accident, Bolan came over to the police cruiser and blew 'smoke in his face. He said Bolan used more abusive language. "I told him to cut it out and go home," said the Constable. "He had been drinking and con- tinued to curse and swear." Drunk Driver - Given Month Henry H. Connor, 744 Simcoe street south, was sentenced in Oshawa Magistrate's Court Monday to one month in the county jail on a charge of driv- ing while intoxicated. A charge of driving without an operator's licence was withdrawn. ConStabie J. W. Powell toid the court that on the evening of May 11 the accused was seen proceeding south on Albert street in the northbound lane. The Connor vehicle was pulled over to the side on Jackson street, said the ofiicer. "The driver got out of the car and staggered. He smelled of alcshol. In my opinion he was intoxicated," said Consta- ble Powell. Magistrate F. S. Ebbs told the court that this was Connor's second offence. He said Connor was jailed for one week in Jan- uary on a charge of being in- toxicated. FIND BOGUS COINS MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Three young boys are being held in juvyenile court for investiga- tion of charges they manufac- tured bogus coins by melting down toy lead soldiers.

Milne By KEN SMITH MONTREAL (CP)--Canada's railways Monday presented a picture of themselves riding two. horses going in opposite direc tions at the same time. The situation had better be brought under control in a hurry, or they will take a fall they may never recover from, the carriers told a federal con- ciliation board studying new contract demands served on the railways by their 100,000 non- operating employees. One of the '"'horses" was spi- ralling labor costs since the end of the Second World War that have made higher freight rates necessary. The other "horse" was the need to reduce the freight rates to attract more business and make _railways competitive with other methods of transportation. R. A. Emerson, president, told the board in a summary of the view of a seven railways involved in the dispute that the new non-ops de- mands would place the entire industry in serious jeopardy if agreed to. % his own firm, he said, bank- ruptcy would be avoided only if the taxpayer picked up the tab. SEES NEW ERA Looking at the recommenda- tions of the first two volumes 0! Remand Youth Without Plea On 3 Charges BOWMANVILLE (Staff) -- A 19-year-old Oshawa youth was remanded in custody for one week today, when he appeared before Magistrate R. B. Baxter, here, facing three charges, fol- lowing the hit-and-run death of an Oshawa General Motors worker, early Saturday morn- ing. Gene Peters, Montrave ave- nue, was remanded without plea on charges of criminal negli- gence causing death, failing to remain at the scene of an acci- dent and driving without a li- cence. ae Craid Howe, 31, 420 Stevenson road north, Oshawa, was killed after he was struck by a car on the Oshawa - Darlington town CPR vice-|® Railway Dilemma Perils Explained the report by the MacPherson royaal commission on trans- portation, Mr. Emerson said that by next year railways will be in a new era of competition with trucks, planes and pipe- lines in which railways "will be left to sink or swim as far as the government is concerned." The non-ops' demands include a 22-cent-an-hour wage increase plus a job security program that amounts to a virtual job freeze. Describing these demands as intolerable, Mr. Emerson said the wage increase would make many railway operations un- economical, but the job freeze would prevent the railways elim- inating them. Any wage increase at the present time would "seriously diminish the chances of survival: gd railways," Mr. Emerson aid. Another railway witness. be- fore the board, Keith Campbell, assistant manager of CPR labor relations, challenged the unions' estimates of the annual cost of the wage increase and the job freeze. ESTIMATES COST He said the wage demand would cost $55,482,000 a year, al- most $10,000,000 more than the union estimate. The railway fig- ure included extending the raise to non-ops workers not covered by the unions engaged in the present dispute. He also said the cost of the job freeze is incalculable. The unions said earlier in the hear- ing it would start at almost nothing, rising gradually to an annual maximum of $14,000,000 by 1973. Mr. Campbell disagreed with the union contention that pre- vious conciliation boards had supported the durable goods standard as a basis for com- paring non-ops wages. The standard, an average of wages paid in several basic Canadian industries, now is about 12 cents an hour higher than the non-ops average wage of $1.91 an hour. Although the boards admitted the standard as providing some basis for comparison, all pointed to "'many differences" between non-ops and durables that had to be taken into con- sideration. When this was done, the non- op employee actually was better off on the average than the durable goods worker. line north. Bail was not fixed today.
