THE OSHAWA 2 " . ese , Tuesday, November 12, 1565 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN URGE CAUTION ON ONE-WAY TRAFFIC PLAN . The Oshawa Businessmen's Association isn't too happy with City Council in its handling to date of the controversial one-way downtown traffic proposals, as outlined in the Damas- Smith Traffic Survey report. The OBA feels that Council is moving: too fast, on the proposals without knowing in which direction it is moving, without taking full cognizance of the economic effect of such a move on downtown stores. The OBA also feels, to put it bluntly, that Council is giving it the well-known run- around, being evasive when it should be frank, engaging in far too much double-talk instead of plain talk.

It was, clear from comments that the parliamentarians re- gard the trip as no junket. Har- old Winch, New Democratic representative for Vancouver, said with a smile: "Let the pub- lic know this is not a luxury voyage. This is steerage." Commons Group! LEAVES BROCKVILLE COURT BROCKVILLE, Ont. (CP) -- Murray Billings, Brockville car dealer, asked for and then turned down an opportunity to make a statement on the fifth day of his testimony in county court Monday. Mr. Billings was testifying at the trial of his former account- ant, 37-year-old Mrs. Dolores Clow, who is charged with the theft of $228,000 from his firm, Billings Motors Limited. He had asked permission from judge Wilfred Lane to make a statement at the conclusion of cnoss-examination by defence counsel Roydon Hughes of Ot- hesitation, Mr. Billings stepped down without saying a word.

The OBA wants to know why its delegation was re- ceived by Council last week if 'the one-way street plan has been accepted -- Mr. Brady says politely that this: was done "to give the downtown group a chance to change our The Yukon carried supplies for Canada's NATO force in Germany.

Dean Kelly of the OBA told the Committee last week that such implementation could easily lead to what he called "a depressed area,"' and later added: "All we get from City Council on this important matter | is alot of double-talk. Council seems to forget that the | downtown business area is the largest employer of persons in Oshawa, outside of General Motors.

He also claimed that a traffic consultant firm this year has recommended that St. Cathar- ines, Ont., revert its main street to two-way traffic as one- way traffic was not working out well.

Did Council in the whole feel that one-way downtown traffic had been accepted one year ago, as Mr. Brady says, and that such legisla- tion was already in the books? If it did, the following statement by Mayor Lyman Gifford (made in open Council last September and reprinted herein under the heading, "'Quote of The Week -- Municipal Division") is most perplexing: "I will bet my last dollar that there will be no one-way traffic on downtown King street until after the next municipal election. We need a lot more unanimity on Council before that can be considered. Eliminating King street meters would be a foothold to making King street one-way. € "Yet we promised a full study of the problems before any move was made. "Nobody on this Council would dare attempt to put one- way traffic through at this time -- they would be too scared,"' Does this mean that Council has reached unanimity on the question since Mr. Gifford's above speech and, if so, why? Was Br. Brady's committee keeping Mr. Gifford and other councillors fully informed on this matter? His Worship bluntly stated at that time that there was no unanimity on Council regarding the issue.
