This is the cost of one day's sitting of county council. Mem- bers are paid mileage to meet- ings and a small fee for their attendance. The remainder came from Reeve Francis Hockley of Scott Township who pleaded for coun- ty council to reopen discussion on the matter to try and settle the issue. During the long discussion council made four attempts to pass an equalized schedule. On each occasion the attempt was defeated on recorded votes. Opposition to the schedule throughout the discussion was led by Reeve John Dryden of Whitby Township, He complain- ed frequently at what he called the 'tremendous fluctuation"' in the total assessment of his town-| ship. He was joined by several other municipalities, mainly those whose assessment would be go- ing up under the new equaliza- tion assessment bylaw. The municipalities have the right to appeal their assessment figures as prepared by county assessor G. D. Hepditch. Under the bylaw passed yes-) terday- any appeal would be heard by a county judge.

TODAY'S TOPIC One Way System The new one-way system on King and Bond streets was endorsel unanimously yesterday by six area residents polled by The Times. Question: What do you think of the one-way system on King and Bond streets which began Monday? Michael Benyt John Tanchak Tom Palmer Michael Benyt of Ajax: I think it's a good idea. It cuts out a lot of traffic in the downtown area during rush-hours. The extra lane is especially useful for one-way traffic when General Motors employees go home, John Tanchak of 640 Tennyson st.: It's a very good idea to have the one-way streets with parking on one side, The parking during rush hours siould be restricted and open the rest of the time. The one-way streets will handle rush-hour traffic.more effectively, Tom Palmer of 317 Guelph st.: It's a good idea. You can get to where you want to go much faster because you don't have opposing traffic to contend with. If angle parking was adopted it would be easier to park more cars on these streets. Sally Hiley of 67 Greta st.: It's a good idea because the traffic moves quicker with more lanes in the same direction. I don't anticipate. any problems and_ there shouldn't be any parking on the main streets anyhow. allow you te get places much faster because of the extra lane, I don't think we need any more of them, though -- we have enough one-way streets now. Don Stobin of 23 Willow Park dr.: They're a good idea if you're going right through the city and you're in a hurry; especially if you're going to Whitby. With the traffic all going the same way you don't have people crossing in front of you slowing you down.

"The y| object to working without a| contract, and also to the delay in conducting negotiations." Company and union have been bargaining since Apr. 1 for renewal of a two-year con- tract which expired May 31. Main stumbling block is the union's demand for adoption of the Co-operative Wage Study (CWS) program now in-use in some United States plants. The CWS program involves the evaluation and classification of plant jobs, with a wage- related pay scale. Another big demand fs in the fringe benefit area. The union wants the company to pay the entire cost of the medical and welfare program. One-Way Turns Worry Police City police are concerned with |'MORE HASTE THAN USUAL' hospital grants to no more than $9,000 a bed. This' in effect, will cut the best part of $250,000 from any grant that council may give to the hospital. After the decision, Mr. Rich- ards called the decision "'appall- ing". He told The Times after the meeting: "This is a_ pretty crumby thing to do. I am just appalled that the county -council should play politics with such an important subject. "We were expecting the larg- est part of our funds from the County Council." The hospital board is hoping that as their request for money was entered with council before the new bylaw was passed it will be reviewed under the old ruling. During discussion at the coun- ty council meeting Deputy Reeve George Brooks of Whitby called the decision a "kick in the pants for Whitby'. He told councillors: "We are by is the county seat. We must have a hospital. "Before today," he said, 'we had to collect some $500,000 by public subscription. Now we get the rug pulled out from under us and find we have to collect $750,000,"" Now in a letter to council the Hospital Board has said: 'The first reaction of the hospital board (to the decision) was one of great concern. "More detailed consideration indicates that there are areas that should be explored more thoroughly by representatives of the county and the board. "It is possible," the letter add- ed, "that such examination will reveal that the new bylaw does not prejudice the Whitby Gen- eral Hospital program. "The board, therefore, re- quests that representatives of the board and members of the appropriate committee of coun- ty council meet to discuss the situation prior to any report of the county council. The board places itself at your convenience on the verge of a dream. Whit- in this matter." Action Against City Firms Dismissed In Supreme Court WHITBY (Staff) -- An action, in which Canadian Pittsburgh Industries Limited sought $6,488.44 damages from Don Welch Float Service and Osh- awa Crane Service Limited, of Oshawa, was dismissed without costs by Mr. Justice Schatz in Supreme Court here Tuesday. The action resulted from an incident on May 15, 1964, when a chain holding a load of glass broke while the defendant com- pany was making a_ delivery from the Oshawa Railway sid- ing to the CPI plant. It was claimed eight crates of glass were broken. Justice Schatz ruled that the defendants had satisfied the onus on them that there was no negligence on their part, He sug- gested that, since the accident occurred on a Friday prior to a long weekend, a little. more haste than usual had been used by the Pittsburgh employees He said that if the bracing 6f the load had been substantial the load would not have shifted as much as it did and the chain would not have broken. Evidence was adduced that the Oshawa Crane Service Lim- ited had contracted to load the glass from a railway car on to a float owned by Don Welch, Four Pittsburgh employees as- sisted in the loading and were responsible for the braces hold. ing the glass upright. : Two chains were used to hold the load. One belonged to CPI and the other to Don Welch. When the truck was backed up an incline to the Pittsburgh plant the load shifted and the chain broke and the bracing ° crumbled. the way motorists are turning lon and off the one-way street system. | Inspector Norman Smyth, head of the Oshawa police traf- \fic squad, said today the proper § procedure in making a left-hand turn off a one-way street is to | -- turn from the left curb lane land a right-lane turn from the Inght curb lane. : | In the case of turning into an- |must turn as closely as possible ito left curb lane if making a ' \left-hand turn into the street or © Faye Smith of 42 Buckingham av.: One-way streets (to the right curb lane if making mj: la right-hand turn into the one- way street.
