2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, bupiyens ttn Nevember 7, 1963 GOOD EVENING| By JACK GEARIN NOTES ON AUDITORIUM BYLAW NO, 4308 . What doés that far-fedching afid révélutionary piece of proposed legislation affecting thé OstidWa Civié Auditorium really mean, stripped of legalese jaragon and 'échnicalities? Simply this: City Council would commit approximatély 21,400 Oshawa taxpayers to possiblé finaii- cial involvement in the con- struction costs of the Audi- toridm, whether said tax- payéets like it or not. ' 'This Auditoriuffi, ofiginal- ly, Was to be presentéd to the City Without cost, pérliaps it still will be; but theré aré other major considération$, aside from the fact that the City has also agreed to an- fitally pick tip thé tab for any Operational deficits. 'Theté i¢ one stumbling block yet in the way of Passage of this legislation, Kifowfi Officially a¢ City By- law 4308 and given two read- ings by Council last Mon- day -- it needs the blessing of thé Ontario Municipal Board, MAYOR GIFFORD the Province's watch-dog on civic spending. Council ovérwhelmingly efidorséd his médsufe Mofiday 12-0, with Aldéffhan John Dyér fefrdining. Council thus took a major step forward along the path which could lead to qualification of the Auditoriym -- esti- matéd cost' of which is currently $1,300,000 -- asia municipal project: ALDERMAN JOHN DYER REFRAINED FROM VOTING Council could thus apply to thé Municipal Devélop- mént and Loan Fund for up to two-thirds of the total -- $866,000 -- if thé Ontatio Municipal Board givés the green light; stich a loaf would be at low _ intérést rates, approximately 514 per- P cent. Council could thus take advantage of a forgivenéss clausé which would allow a | tébate of 25 percent on two- thirds of the loan (about $208,000) if the projéct was completed by Match, 1966. The City would coristruct thé building and facilities at a cost of $1,300,000 -- the mayor and clerk would bé authorized to engage archi- tects and enter into con- tracts; subject to Council's approval. The City could bor- ,row from the bank $1,300,000 and could also borrow from any governmemt or government agency for temporary financing, provided the aggregate sum did not é@xceed $1,300,000. The wording of the bylaw states that the Oshawa Civic Auditorium corpofation raiséd $1,333,000 in cash and pledges and has agteéd to give this to the City -- total funds re- ééived and pledged to date actually total $1,150,000 (with the following breakdown; actual funds received--$197,000; expen- ditures--$16,500; cash available to start building~$190,500. MAYOR GIFFORD SPEAKS HIS MIND Council's décision, despite easy passage of the bylaw over two readings, Was anything but éasy t6 make. This was specially 86 in view of Mayor Lymati Gifford's blunt warning that final enactment could possibly take Council along @ hazardous financial road. It was not an easy decision for a Council already burden- ed with a debenture debt of $18,683,100, with a 1963 debenture interest rate Glofie Of $1,008,000, with a 1963 per capita debt of $287, a8 eémpated with $300 in 1962. Whether or hot Mr. Gifford was right or wrong in his endorsation of the bylaw Monday, he didf't sit giuéd to his seat in mute silence like 95 percent of his colleagues when this important legislation cropped up, Hé stood tp and at- tempted to give some enlightenmént in a tefisé atmosphere. "This is a decision Council must make, one way or an- other. Isn't this why we are in public life -- to make déci- sions?", he asked. "Let mé state one point émphatically -- no préssuré group has forced Council into this. To délay now could meéan a loss of ihe 25 percent forgiveriess on the Mutini- cipal Loan. It could also mean a delay in the start of con- struction for at least two years." He pointed out later in the week that General Motors had contributed, or was about to contribute, $250,000 in cash to thé Auditorium, also that Col. R. S. McLaughlin had con- tributed $25,000 in cash. ALDERMAN BRANCH | IN THE LAND OF SILENT MEN Finance Chairman Walter Branch lucidly explained thé content of the proposed bylaw, thé appealing factor of the 25 percent forgiveness clause -- he did nothing to éxpiain the seriousness of the stép which Council was about to take. Where were the other committee chairmen, Aldermen Walker, Bint and Brady? Where was Alderman Cliff Pilkey, the some- times fearless crusader for lost causes, who remained reli- giously silem; or Alderman Gordon Attersiey, who might pos- sibly create the impression that he is an Austerity man, or Alderman Finley Dafoe, about the most loquacious man on Council, or Alderman John Dyer, who is not exactly a fence- sitter? \ This was a tense, touchy issue that could boomerang against any who expressed an opinion publicly, co¢ld shorten a political career as well as lengthen it, with dramatic sud- dennéss. HINDSIGHT EASIER TO COME BY Some wag with uncommon good sense once remarked that hindsight was much easier to come by than foresight. This much acknowledged, Mayor Gifford's words Monday, however courageous, must have caused wonderment in some circlés, especially to those who recalled his official, unyielding stand when this same Auditorium was in the infancy stage of planning back in 1960. Whenever the subject of a proposed marriage between the City and the then-fledgling Civic Auditorium committee was proposed, Mr. Gifford did not hesitate to make certain things abundantly clear. In effect, he said with emphasis: The City should give every reasonable encouragement to the Auditorium committee to get its ambitious plans operative, with possibly two exceptions -- the City should not get in- volved with the proposed Auditoroum financially in any way because it jacked the money to do so. City aldermen, or civic employees, should not sit on the committee, or become directly involved in any official capac- ity with that group. Mr. Gifford personally admitted an "about-face"' policy on the Auditorium this week because of such things as the urgent need for an early start on building, and the "'splendid" ce sporise to pledges and donations, Including GM. Whether this disqualifies him from future membership in City Council's sparsely-populated Austerity Club, he has @poken out on a most important issue. ~ ee Mrs, Neo Dinh Nhu, fight, and her daughter, Le Thuy, are helped through a throng of mewsmen today as they leave their hotel on their way to a lavish villa in the exclu- sive Bel-Air section of Los Angeles, wheré théy'll make their home.

Nearing the close of Wednes- day's session--second day of the county court trial -- Defence Counsel Royden Hughes: of Ot- tawa suggested that Mr. Bil- lings concealed information vital to auditors. Mr. Billings flatly denied this. Then counsél asked: 'Did you tell Mrs. Clow to stay away from the auditors and not give them any assist- ance?" "'No,"' snapped Billings. "Did you tell Mrs. Clow she was riot to be available to the auditors any time in the years between 1957 and 1962?" "No," replied Mr. Billings. "I know that is not trué and Mrs. Clow knows that is not true." "It appears you're intimate in your knowledge of each other," Mr. Hughes said "Such an accusation is ut true," said the witness. 'I know it and shé knows it. She was) just an accountant."
