2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, August 27, 1963 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN LIQUOR PLEBISCITE BIG ISSUE Battle lines are being formed on City Council for what promises to be a spectacular, free-swinging affair -- the up- coming liquor plebiscite vote which should be placed before the electorate about two months after the September 25 Pro- vincial election, if present plans materialize. The City has been given the green light by Queen's Park to go ahead and use Provincial voters' lists for the purpose of said plebiscite, This ruling will automati- cally mean a saving of more than $5,000 to the taxpayers who will still spend -- be- tween $9,000 and $10,000 to decide if there should be ad- ditional liquor and beer out- lets, also how many and in which form, The lights were burning , late in the third floor Board Room at City Hall Monday night for the same reason-- Council was meeting in com- mittee to discuss this touchy question which is due to come out into the limelight soon. Council must prepare a bylaw without delay, if,.it to take advantage of the Queen's Park ruling on the Provincial voters' lists. A minority group of Coun- cil "drys" may try to stop the plebiscite move, but any such abortive acts are likely to be quickly squelched by the majority, all of whom fully realize that the electorate is entitled to a vote, regardless of what the results may be. The big questions at the moment, to divide Council, are these How many questions should be included on the plebis- cite? Should it be restricted to two to decide whether or not there should be cocktail bars, or should it go as high as eight to decide various other issues involved such as whether or there should be more beer outlets, retail stores, wine MAYOR GIFFORD and ones that are likely not stores The 'cocktail lounge interest the electorate will become con tions and that the cocktail loun feated -- they would restrict it to two questions There are some on Council who feel that all eight nine questions should be included so that it would be unnec- essary to hold any additional plebiscites at a later date, which would be costly. In effect, they say this: "Let's ans- wer all the questions at once, regardless where the chips may fall. After all, we're not here to represent any one group. We're here to represent all leg a! interest, whatever they may be." The current liquor plebiscite question was raised last spring when. William Allen, 10 Colborne street east (and other citizens) requested Council to place the following ques- tions before the voters Are you in favor of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge licence for consumption with meals on licensed prem- ises? Are you in favor of the sale of liquor under a lounge licence for consumption on licensed premises? Those who favor the eight or nine question plebiscite state that the liquor interests could still put their message across if they would campaign on their own behalf and not toss the whole issue on to the laps of Council in the hope that only two questions would be asked The cost of the 1954 plebiscite in Ward six was approxi- mately $6,215. The $9,000 estimated cost this year for the city is based on 125 polling places being required. Additional polls would cost $65 each. that ques- de- s have a deep fear fused by too many ge proposals will be or LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Terence V.

Task Faced Right To Vote |LaMarsh Backs Pension Proposal should follow the modern Eur- opean trend to contributory pen- sions related to earnings, rather than flat-rate pensions, because of this country's varying stand- ards of living. Under the present federal gov- ernment's old age security scheme, a couple drawing the pension -- $65 a month -- often have a larger income than that once provided by the family breadwinner, especially in rural areas, But she said a couple re- tired and living in the city can hardly live on this amount.

She said the present "muddle and confusion" between the pro- vincial and federal governments must be Settled quickly so that people in business, labor, the municipalities and the provinces will know how to proceed. "It is not a matter of partisan jpolitics, but something neces. sary to provide security for our retired citizens."

Mr, Gordon was vacationing in the Mnskoka district. His ofs fice commented: "Either the op- position leader now is reduced to confronting his own political gossip.or he is too much behind in the news."
