2 - THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, June.11, 1964 ' Price Formula | GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- Change Irks | Milk Producers "COLONEL BOB" SMITH TO RESIGN POST ' What memories of Oshawa's bygone eras, military and otherwise, Lt.-Col. R. B, "Bob" Smith must have! He's retired from Army life, but he's the dean, in point of service, in the Ontario Regiment. He was twice officer commanding of that unit. *~ He's been clerk of the Eighth Division Court, 286 King street west for 35 years -- he opened the office in 1929 (in the old City Hall on Simcoe north opposite the Armories.) He received his commis- sion in the Ontarios -- then 'known as the 34th. Regi- ment -- in 1904 when he was 18, when his late father (the Smith, named as a Privy Councillor by Arthur Meigh- en) was paymaster. Many senior citizens still recall the day he first march- ed off to the wars. It was August 20, 1914. 'Colonel Bob', then a captain, led the first local and district detachment (124 men) down 4 Simcoe 'street south to the TORONTO.

The war in Laos has reached !a new turn which may indicate the path the United States may finally follow in its whole ap- proach to the crumbling situa- ition in Southeast Asia.

Railway 'Troop. He served with them as a transport officer in France before the armistice. All of this preamble is by way of announcing that "Col- énel Bob", (as he's affectionately known to hundreds through- out Ontario County)-has submitted his resignation as clerk of the Eighth sion Court, where he has served so 'ung. It will become effective next June 30. He was president of the Maple Leaf Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company for 23 years -- this record was only surpassed by his father who held the post 36 years. CITY'S DEBT UP $3,401,000 OVER '63 HEADLINES -- YESTERDAY AND TODAY: "Mayor Gifford Asks Cut In Expenditures" -- January 7, 1963 "Mayor Urges Council To Hold Mill Rate" -- January 6, 1964 "Oshawa Debt Increased $3,401,100 Over 1963" -- May 26, 1964 It is one of the hazards of politics that those elected to public office must live with their public pronouncements of bygone days. Perhaps it is not cricket to sift through the musty files this way to remind elected representatives that they some- times veer from course in a glaring manner; what chance has a sincere advocate of austerity in a municipal world composed of so many free-spenders of the public funds? Is he not hamstrung from the start, doomed to failure by Coun- dil, Board of Education and PUC colleagues who regard Aus- terity as 'almost a funny word? This much admitted, the debenture indebtedness of the City of Oshawa has reached staggering proportions for a municipality of 67,000; and let us not be soothed by the plaintive chants of "'prosperity was never better, tax revenue and assessment is increasing". Such slogans are misleading when attempting to justify more spending, when attempting to harpoon Mayor Gifford's stated policy of last January 6: "Progress with Caution" es.

Bilsky, D.C. } according to a financial analysis released May. 26 by Mr. I, Frank Markson, the City Treasurer (upon whose good judgment. City Council appears to lean so heavily these days in matters of high spending.) This $24,256,000 total represents a 163 percent increase over the 1963 figures (Sudbury with 80,523 population had $17,739,096 debenture debt in 1962 with a per capita debt of $100.30 while Kitchener with 77,190 population had a §$15,- 850,510 debenture debt with a per capita debt of $122.05 -- Oshawa's per capita debt that year was $139.61, third high- est in 30 Ontario cities. It was $285.40 last year. (Hamilton with a population of 266,891, had a 1962 per capita debt of $140.63 and Niagara Falls $142.91.) It is nice to be assured by Mr. Markson that our muni- cipal debenture indebtedness is not alarming -- it is not easy to ignore such things as the 1962 Annual Report of Municipal Statistics as prepared by the Department of Municipal Af- fairs (the watchdog of municipal spending in this province.) Mr. Markson says the estimated $24,256,000 bill for funded and unfunded debt by the end of the year is not "alarming" because it includes sizeable debentured items "fully recoverable," such as the debenture debt of Public Utilities Commission and the Oshawa Civic Audi- torium. Let us hope Mr. Markson's estimate is 100 percent ac- curate that the PUB debt (approval has already been granted for $1,398,000 in additional debentures the ext five years) and also that of the Civic Auditorium ($626,000 was issued this year) is fully recovered -- this does not alter the fact that until these bills are paid, the debts are officially those of the City and will be shown thus in the 1963 edi- tion of the Annual Report of Municipal Statistics. Speak- ing of the PUC, the water and electricity debenture loans will be fully repaid, but what about the soaring bus operation debentures. Have we even a faint hope that they will be repaid? City Hall has long been sensitive about this municipality's per capita debt, and little wonder. 'There is an example in the recent Buffer Study prepared by the Oshawa Planning Board (on page 7.) It says, in part: " Deducting the PUC the Provincial. government paymen' of $1,900,000 towerd school debentures. the per capita debt is $211."
