But, the hedge, a Chinese Elm, was found to be on city property and has been there for about 20 to 25 years. Mr. Hoar bought his Whiting avenue home about 10 to 15 years ago. "We would be establish- ing a precedent if the city moved or replaced the hedge,"" commented Mayor Lyman Gifford, as council voted against paying Mr. Hoard compensation. Instead of the hedge, Mr. Hoar will have an under- ground sewer near his prop- erty. Council Boycott?: Question At City council hasn't Pho fl on the hedge question.

Members of the Oshawa local of the International Typographi- ical Union have been on strike at General Printers for 10 months.

The motion, suggested as a measure of relief to par- ents of young people who are continuing their education', was offered as sypport for a plan which will be debated in the legislature within a few weeks. Now students have to re- vert to a pay direct plan after their 19th birthday, a system which Mr. Werry called, "contradictory"'. "We are spending more and more on education and campaigning to keep chil- dren in school and persuad- ing them to continue on to higher education -- and yet we add the burden of these payments onto them," he said. Mr. Werry said there were 91,000 students in Ontario's universities and institutions of higher learning, and that such a plan would cost an estimated $3,500,000 if it were initiated. the Ontario Municipal Board.

He said nabbing all the dogs "takes time . . . we'll do our best."' Only three men, he said, work at the dog pound. Ald.
