Ill Pile Garbage Sky-High; Vows City Stor A Simcoe st. s., store owner has threatened to let garbage "reach as high as the sky" be- hind his store, in a letter re- ceived by city council this week. And council has informed M. D. Rutherford, 156 Simcoe st. s., that the city will pick up garbage twice each week providing it is placed on the boulevard in the manner re- quired by the city's garbage dis- posal bylaw. RUNNING FIGHT "For at least five years now, we have waged a running argu- ment with the city yard to have our garbage picked up from behind our store," said Mr. Rutherford in his letter. He said store officials have been told that garbage has been improperly baled, or that trucks couldn't get room to pick it up "and numberless other ex- cuses"'. "Apparently the payment of business and property taxes, do not entifle us to any of the usual city services," wrote Mr. Rutherford. He added that from now on the garbage will be left e Owner and that collectors have to go over or through a hole in a fence to get at the garbage. Asked by Ald. Hayward Mur- doch if the decision in the Ruth- erford case applies to all store owners, Ald. Bint said not ne- cessarily, that the city is fall- ing back on the bylaw because no other satisfactory arrange- ments could be made. Poor Response To Youth Body Briefs and suggestions from by the Select Committee on Youth of the Ontario Legisla- ture which meets Nov. 15 in Oshawa. Bernard Muzeen, a member of the Oshawa Citizens' Committee on Youth, said today that the dateline for the acceptance of briefs has been extended from Nov. 3 to Nov. 8 "This has been done because of the poor response there has been," he at its usual place behind the store, Ald.

Municipally- Trash Dump The possibility of constructing an incinerator for garbage dis- posal with costs to be shared by abutting municipalities will be investigated by Oshawa's public works committee. Ald. Clifford Pilkey suggeste the investigation although he said it may not prove possible} or feasible because of the high costs involved. However, he poted that large subsidies are gpparently available. Ald, Cecil Bint, works com- mittee chairman, said engin- tering department officials have been looking into the incinerator sibility and that his commit- d | | lee would be glad to prepare a t full report, SERVE FOR FIVE YEARS Ald. Pilkey's suggested fol- Shared For Area? timated that the land would serve as a dump site for four to five years. The Conlins were offered a total of $51,150 for their land. |The offer was based on an ap- praisal. East Whitby Township passed a consent bylaw this week pav- ing the way for the city to-ac- quire a 4.47 acre parcel of the Conlin property located in the township. WHAT'S THE SOURCE? Money for the Conlin land was not included in the 1965 current budget and Ald. Margaret Shaw asked where it was coming rom. Ald. Gordon Attersley, finance committee chairman, said the cost would be paid out of the lowed council's move to expro- priate about 29 acres of land owned by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Civic Property Development Re- serve Fund. Ald. Shaw said the money Conlin between Simcoe and Rit-jshould have been in the 1965 son at the north city limits as.a budget and that it wuld be in- sanitary landfill site.

No pary can say with author- ity whether campaign posters do any good. But all object when they go missing. A Conservative Party spokes- man said today poster "sabo- tage" in the Ajax area has taken a new twist. There, it is reported, persons posing as Conservative party workeys are asking property owners with Conservative signs Tomorrow night Mr. Hodges will be in Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. He will be on the platform with the NDP's na- tional leader, T. C. Douglas. Buses will leave the Oshawa committee rooms at 5.45 p.m. and will pick up persons at Whitby, Ajax, Pickering Vil- lage, Bay Ridges and Port Union.

The Smith company was as- sessed by the city at a 50 per cent rate -- for stores deal- ing in five or more branches of retail sales. This assessment was ap- pealed and reduced by the court of revision to 25 per cent, the normal rate for stores dealing in less than five branches of retail sales, The court of revision decision was appealed to the county judge and upheld. The city then ap- pealed the decision to the mu- nicipal board. H. E. Roberts, vice-chair- man and board member V. S. Milburn, in dismissing the ap- peal, said the city failed to produce sufficient evidence that Canadian Tire was oper- ating five different branches of retail trade. Plant Filter Oshawa's gross debenture debt will increase $434,579 to $19,- 101,579 this year. The 1965 debenture issue of $2,100,000 will be awarded by city council Nov. 15. Frank Markson, city treas- urer, said today debentures to- talling $1,675,421 will be retired! this year leaving a $434,579 in-| crease in the funded (unmatured| | | debt. DEBT INCREASES Last year the gross deben- ture debt decreased $16,218 to! $18,666,882. Tenders will be called on the 1965 debenture issue Nov. 9 and will be opened and awarded Nov. 15, date of council's next regular meeting. The debenture issue will be the only one sold) on the public money market this year. Oshawa's unfunded debt (capi-| tal expenditures approved by the Ontario Municipal Board but not yet debentured or paid from| current tax levy) was estimated earlier this year at $28,000,000. Modification Tab $93,000 Construction of a high-rate trickling filter at the sewage treatment plant at an estimated $93,000 cost was approved Mon- day by city council. The filter is required to pro- vide additional capacity at the treatment plant to handle the increased sewage flow resulting from the city's expansion, said Fred Crome, works commission- er, in a report to council. He said the filter is a concrete tank, 125 feet in diameter and lfive feet in depth, filled with crushed rock. Council agreed to apply to undertake the work under the winter works incentive program which would result in an esti- mated subsidy of $12,000. Coun- cil also agreed to apply to Cen- tral Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration for an estimated $54,- 000 loan of, which $13,500 would be forgiven.
