2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, December 8, 1962 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN CITY SEEKS 3 NEW DEPARTMENTAL HEADS There are three openings at City Hall currently for de- partmental heads, exclusive of that for the position of Direc- tor of Operations (details of which should be ironed out soon). They are: The newly-created Commissioner of Parks post. The City Medical Officer of Health post, now held by. Dr. C. C, Stewart, former MOH, on a part-time basis until a re- placement is found. The City Treasurer's post, vacated since the recent death of Mr. Harold Tripp. Dan Fleming, City person- nel director, said today that 30 applications had been received for the Parks Com- missioner post up until Friday midnight, which was the deadline, He said: "This is a case of the job looking for the man rather than the man looking for the job, There are some prom- ising applications, but we can't make a decision until we meet them personally. We will do this without de- lay." He said it would be desirable to fill the post without delay. Under the old set-up, committees, commis- - sions and boards were ap- DAN FLEMING pointed on inauguaration day early in the new year. As several of these groupa will be dissolved, it will be necessary to have the Parks Commission- er operative beforehand, Interviews'have been held with MOH applicants and an appointment is expected soon, The City finance committee is studying the question of an appointment to the post of City Treasurer and will likely make a recommendation soon, CITY DEBT INTEREST RATE NEARS $1 MILLION Sopa tye eee ne gr roe | strong winds p | snarl traffic and clog roads of snow fell in the area and Erhard Probable Heir and in the.

This photograph was taken in OTTAWA (CP) -- They are} calling for Donald Gordon's ong in Parliament and burn- ing him in effigy on the streets of Gttawa; Montreal, Quebec and Sherbrooke, But controversy and attack are nothing new to the hurly six-foot-three president of the Canadian National Railways. The current dispute centres on charges he has been passing over French - speaking Cana- dians in making senior appoint- on in the publicly - owned Mr, Gordon's reply: He hasn't been discriminating against them, nor will he discriminate in their favor, Complaints about a dearth of French-speaking Canadians in the CNR's upper echelons welled up Nov. 20 in the Com- mons railway committee--scene of other verbal battles between Mr, Gordon and parliamentar- jans in past years, Mr. Gordon replied it was "a completely false impression" to suggest that French - speaking 4. Arnold Peters (NDP--Ti- miskaming) called him a "silly ass" during a Commons speech criticiizng a switch in a pas- senger train schedule and de- clared: '"'We should get rid of Gordon." Some other MPs agreed, 5. There was a bomb threat scare in the CNR's Queen Eliz- abeth Hotel in Montreal, OBJECT TO NAME 'The hotel was: the centre of controversy a few years ago, when numerous groups in Que- bec wanted the new building named Chateau Maisonneuve. They took out most of their ire on Mr, Gordon; The Scottish-born Mr. Gor. don, who will mark his 63rd birthday next Tuesday, has made no comment on the re- cent attacks, The ery of "Gordon must go" has been welling up periodic- ally ever since he became the CNR's president Jan, 1, 1950, Even then he had a reputation Canadians don't hold senior po- sitions.

Controversy, Attack Not New To CNR Head For nearly #2 months during 1960-61 it looked as though Gor- * don might be going. The gov- ernment didn't renew his ap-" pointment, leaving him on a day - to . day basis, Finally in® September, 1961, he was reap- |pointed for two years as chair-* : lrectors. The government finally ~~ swung behind him, it was re-> © ported, after top rail union' leaders expressed their gonfi-* dence in him. Through the years, many of the attacks on him have been generated by heavy CNR defi- cits--and some by economy moves he has taken to reduce': |the deficit. 4 |GORDON ATTACKS FISHER Mr. Gordon goes on the at- tack himself sometimes.

(MUNICIPAL _ DIVI- SION): The City of Oshawa's total debenture debt as of next De- cember 31 will be $18,994,536.40 (of which $3,156,100 is for the PUC). Oshawa's 21,000-odd taxpayers this year will pay $959,- 359.25 in interest alone on this amount -- get that, $959,359.25; when this is paid they will be asked to pay $1,335,465.90, which amount will be retired from the principal unmatured out- standing. This means that Oshawa's taxpayers will be asked to pay $959,359.25 -- abut $45.68 yearly each, if the split was evenly divided -- before the principal is approached. At the point of being repetitious, the taxpayers of Osh- awa last year retired $1,140,568,83 from their debenture debt principal -- they also paid out $821,401 in interest. This means that the taxpayers have paid out a total of $1,780,770 in interest alone in the past two years. Debenture debts, of course, are an essential part of the municipal framework (like home mortgages, we can't live without them) but no small City the size of Oshawa should allow itself to get into such a financial muddle. Is it fair to the next generation to burden them: with such danheavy debts ?

These are points to remember -- Ontario cities of larger pepulation than Oshawa (Windsor excepted) have smaller de- benture debts, Seme councillors think that undue emphasis on the City's annual debenture debt interest rate is unfair. They point out, _ and rightfully, that the 1957 City Council drew up a five-year "ebenture Debt program in which the anticipated Debenture Debt total by the end of 1962 would be $23,635,000, ("During the past five years the debt has not advanced as quickly as anticipated,"" said a Council spokesman), The above debt forecast was known as the Capital Debt Five-Year-Plan -- the Debt at the time of its inauguration was $12,919,000. The City already has promised a 20 pereent cutback on its ttew debenture debts issues for 1963, Mayor-elect Lyman Gif- 'ord says that he will add an additional 20 percent cutback » the original 20 percent, but some observers wonder whe- ther or not this will be possible, It is some consolation to know that the City's debenture debt is $18,994,596.40, instead of the anticipated $23,635,000. It is still too high and it represents a dangerous municl- pal spending trend, WORKS YARD CREWS IRK MANY Some Board of Works Yard crews, but not all, appear to be oblivious to two facts: The Woods, Gordon Report is not the name of a 50-cent hardback novel on the best-seller list -- it's the report of a municipal survey on Oshawa, parts of which were most critical of the general operation of the Board of Works Yard. Despite this, some well-paid Works Yard crews -still squander time shamelessly, defiantly almost, in full view of the public who pay their salaries And why shouldn't they, if City Hall does not provide adequate supervision ? The number of weekly complaints from taxpayers who deeply resent such indolence would be humorous, if such laxity was not so costly. ('What do these men do on a rainy day,"' asked one irate housewife recently, 'just sit in their trucks, gossip and drink coffeee? Do they have no supervi- sion at all? Conscientious Works Yard employees, and they are many in number, would like to see a stop to such public shenanigans, but they are helpless to act--the direction for a drastic changeover must come from above, MONDAY VOTE RESULT WAS NOT OFFICIAL A "mechanical failure' by a computation machine, not a "human error", was blamed today for Monday's election night mix-up whereby Alderman Finley Dafoe placed 7th.' in the aldermanic race instead of 3rd, which was his rightful place, City' Clerk Roy Barrand explained it this way: The error -- which left Mr, Dafoe short by 900 votes -- was detected Tuesday when cross-checks were made on vote totals and was traced.to a computation machine used Monday night, not in the official vote-totals received from the polling stations. This point should be remembered -- vote totals com- piled Monday night were not official, were released hurriedly to give the public a good indication of what the result would be. The official vote' result is tradidionally released the day following municipal election, together with a Clerk's Certifi- cate -- the official result is compiled from official signed statements of the DRO's, not from telephone results. There-are always some discrepancies between the official result and the election-night result, although 900 votes is quite a chunk (John Vivash, an unsuccessful Board of Educa- tion candidate, also got an additional 385 votes after the "mechanical error' was detected). gel arrests and the subsequent} The chancellor will probably cabinet crisis as a victory for/be forced to reform _the old WEATHER FORECAST Cloudy, Colder And Light Snow Forecasts issued by the Tor-)Sault Ste, Marie: Mainly cloudy onto weather office at 5 a.m.jand cold with a few snowflur- ries today and Sunday, North. that| west or northerly winds 10 to 20. |EST: | Synopsis: The storm brought snow and rain to On-| Forecast temperatures tario the last two days is weak-| [Low tonight, High Sunday ening and moving away from Windsor ..., $2 ithe province.
