"Never in my 12 years in Ottawa have I seen anything like the last session of Par- liament,"" Mr. Starr told the Times today. The session, which lasted a record 10 months, has been described by some newsmen as "the year of the flag' and a session that reached "new heights of emotionalism, sensational- ism, frustration and some- times utter boredom". Mr. Starr said the Oppo- sition, right from the first budget, was handed ammu- nition on a platter.

Raises are effec- tive November 1 this year. Annual increments and overtime have not been in- cluded in considerations leading to these increases. Mayor Lyman Gifford promised a "'full review" early next year on salary scales. Historic Home Given Reprieve That old Robinson house at the foot of Simcoe street south got a second reprieve from city council Monday night. Said to have been a' sailor's tavern, the house was bought by the city with the idea of wreck- ing it "to clean up the area" near the lakefront. Demolition was _ delayed earlier this year when there was some chance restoration might be part of the city's centennial project The move was made to bring into force wage dif- ferentials between salaried personnel and union em- ployees, In last Thursday's com- . mittee meeting, Personnel Officer Daniel Fleming told council some maximums on the wage scale for union employees are higher than those of salaried employ- ees, He said some union mem- bers are making more than supervisory personnel. In council two weeks ago, council voted to go ahead and tear it down, Last night council applied the brakes and recommended to the 1965 council a two-month defer- ment on any action. Mayor Lyman Gifford inferred the delay was to give the Osh- awa and District Historical So- ciety time to raise money to buy it from the city Regiment.

Cliff Pilkey emphasized a uniform way to check the accuracy of the submitted mile- age figures should be determined, Re-Zoning Approved City' Council Mongay night backed a planning board recommendation to re-zone un- registered land owned by de- velopers Jackson and Hazlett in the Surrey Drive area. The developers have informed council they will fight the re- zoning, probably before an one Municipal Board hear- ng. The unregistered land lies east of lots facing on Surrey Drive in the city's north-east sectid) and adjacent to a Sur- rey Drive-Dover street-Digby avenue subdivision which, the city says, "has been predomin- ately developed with single family housing." Both the land under develop- ment and the unregistered land are zoned R2B which allows multiple dwelling (up to 5- plexes) buildings. The city's proposal is to re- zone the unregistered land R1B, restricting development to single family dwellings. Area residents in _ single family homes came to council twice to protest the erection of . ' |triplexes. These residents told council they were told by real estate men that only single : |family homes would be built in |r. have written council the area. Lawyers Sam Jackson the for - {|property was bought "for the W. C, Paynter, second in com- mand; Major L. P. Tiggebers; express purpose of erecting multiple family dwellings." The letter says buyers of single family homes in the area must have been aware of the zoning, and that multiple fam- ily dwellings could be erected in the area "because there were already a great number of them there."
