TWO STREETS City Council Approves Engineering Reports struction on King street, from McMillan drive to Mary street -- and Centre street from King to Athol; as well as some King street sewer work. Cost of the improvements was estimated at $340,630. This, covers paving and sidewalks. Included in improvements come are new gas mains, a PUC 12-inch main, underground wiring in the Centre - McMillan area and a 42-inch relief sewer in the west end of the improve- ment area. Final project approval will come with the passing of the by- law authorizing construction, assured Mayor Lyman Gifford. He pointed out that the cost estimates had to be prepared yesterday, or none of the work would be done this year in any event, he said. BRIDGES APPROVED Other 1963 projects approved last night: the Harmony road creek valley route. The city is asking the De- partment of Highways to desig- nate both Harmony road and John street "connecting links" in onder to get 75 per cent con. struction subsidies. The Harmony road bridge estimate is $209,000 with part of the cost being covered by monies from a grade separa- tion fund, the city's share will be $22,000 if the connecting link designation is given -- $59,000 without. On a total cost of $240,000, the street bridge is expected the city $53,000. Included balance is $75,000 from "I will support all these pro- jects now,"" emphasized Mayor "But I will oppose everything until we know where we are going on our five year capital expenditure program, es- pecially 1963." (This program, which must be updated each year, must be submitted to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board for its approval). Ald. Finley Dafoe voted south bridge over the CPR against all the above projects line and a John street bridge except the Harmony road bridge) over Oshawa Creek and the| proposed Not because he was against jthem, he informed council, but |because "not enough details" |were presented. In its fight to avoid naving King street made part of the proposed downtown one - way street system, the Oshawa Bu- sinessmen's Association wrote council claiming that the prob- lem is no longer one of traffic, but one of "economics." an Athol-Bond one - way system could canry traffic as well as the proposed King: --but only at a cost ($1,471,000) estimated at double the planned system). The OBA letter claimed that hich| "he city spent more mone y (about $1,000,000) on the Steven- son road south extension than would be called for on the Athol. Bond system. The association asked council to remember that the downtown area represents $17,000,000 in assessment and employs 6710 persons. The OBA's fear was that pas- sing the motion for the King improvements might mean auto- matic implementation of the one-way street system. ALD. DYER'S STAND Said Ald. John Dyer, the only alderman who opposed council's "approval in principle" given 'Cts CATCHES FINE LAKE TROUT Charles "White, 178 Park road north, displays the 15 pound lake trout he caught in Canoe Lake, north of King- ston, during the weekend.

To presuppose} anything else would be mis- leading. "The street is being made to 'accommodate the report." He promised to support the motion "because there is no- thing else we can do." Added Ald. John Brady: "We 'told the Businessmen we would consider their brief and we will. We 'are 'not throwing it in the wastebasket. We will be discus- sing their recommendations at a council-in-committee meeting next week, BRADY BACKS MOTION Ald. Brady also supponted the motion. "Do we have to go ahead with the work right away in order to get the grants, asked Ald. Tom Rundle? - "What we have to do," replied Mayor Gifford, 'is to. get these estimates to the Department of Highways or forget the whole thing until next year, "The time to hold this up, if you want to, is when the con- struction bylaw comes through," he said.

Contractors Would Dig Sewer Links Oshawa Builders Association members want a city regulation rescinded which prohibits home sewer connections being made by contractors on private prop- erty. Local contractors will install sewer connections for as little as $2 per lineal foot, versus $3.70 per lineal foot by the city (and as high as $6 per foot in water) claimed' the OBA's Lou Pantaleo before council Mon- day night. A statement in the association brief claimed a home owner loses $40 with the city doing the work. On the estimated 300 houses to be built im Oshawa this year, the loss to citizens would amount to nearly $12,000, read the brief, "We can't find any other municipality with similar re- strictions," said Mr.. Pantaleo, pointing out that the Oshawa Public Utilities Commission al- lows contractors to install water connections. Covncil sent the policy prob- lem to the public works com- mittee. It is expected the mat- ter will be dealt with at a spec- ial meeting of council next Saturday. Mr. Pantaleo told council local contractors could install sewer connections for $2 per foot and still make a profit. "We are entrusted to build homes but we are told we are not capable of installing sew- ers,"' he complained. How about individuals doing their own work, asked Ald. Albert Walker. It has to pass inspection, answered Mr. Pan- taleo. Ald. Gordon Attersley re- minded council the city has to maintain sewers.

Story Of UNICEF Told To Rotary The story of UNICEF was told Monday when the Rotary Club of Oshawa: held its annual Children's Day. A large number of the children of the members were guests of the club. A wel- come was extended by Presi- dent Fay Brooks; while Rotar- ian Don Stiles, chairman of the club's eyouth committee, con- ducted the meeting. A feature of the meeting was Grass Fire Threatens Cottagers Brown-yellow clouds were seen billowing up. over the west- ern Oshawa lakeshore area Monday when grass fires raced across dry fields between the CNR tracks and the lake, In the centre of the blaze was the Oshawa Wireless Station of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, No damage was re- ported. A pumper of the Oshawa Fire Department and a second one from Whitby were on hand to contain the fire and prevent property damage. The smoke cloud could be seen for miles as it fanned out over the lake, gripped by a brisk north wind. The fire de- partment was alerted at approx- imately 11.30 a.m. The fire had burned itself out by 1 p.m. Firefighters stood by for some time at Thickson Point to pro- tect cottages should the flames penetrate a belt of woods, but the fire died out a considerable distance away. The Oshawa Fire Department was called to a total of 23 grass fires on Monday alone, a record for this season.

She said the idea for the shell-out was introduced in Osh- awa in 1955 by Dr. C. Vipond some years ago. On that occa- sion the Vipond children and 24 other children took part, Last Hallowe'en more than 6,500 dis- trict children 'participated. The i phase of the Shell-out was stressed by the speaker who said it expands knowledge of other lands while providing much needed food and drugs through the money collected.
