THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturday,, April 90, 1966 ------) CITY CLERK AND STAFF AT WORK HISTORY IN LOOSE-LEAF BINDER 'Information Please' Files Compiled There's some digging --with- out shovels -- going on in the clerk's department at city hall, A wealth of significant, and sometimes: amusing, informa. Mon exou. Oninwa ia peng uncovered by city clerk Roy Barrand and his staff. Did you know, for example, that in 1930 ratepayers, by a vote of 2,064 to 804, rejected a proposal to pay aldermen $5 per meeting? (Aldermen now re ceive $1,500 per year.) Did you know that 31.44 per- cent of the eligible voters cast ballots in' the 1934 municipal election? (In the 1944 election, $4.38 percent of the eligible voters visited the polls.) As the more significant infor- mation is gathered, it is typed and added to a growing book file titled: 'Statistics -- Infor- mation -- History." nee a eee "Once the work of assem- bling the material is completed, it is completed for all time," says Mr. Barrand, 'We can add new information each year by usiInk @ 1008c"CaL DInGer Thing system." The project, being directed by Cecil Lundy, deputy city clerk, is not high on the department's priority list as day-to-day busi- ness and problems. must come first, But, says Mr, Barrand, the work is 'crowded in" when- ever possible, DEMAND FOR IT Why is the effort being made to compile the Information? Because it has never been done before, because there is a demand for it, and because it can be used by council, civie officials and various local or- ganizations, answers Mr. Bar- rand, "We receive a great many calls from school children who want to know about the city, its history and growth," says Mr, Barrand, giving one example of tne cemana, In 1956 and 1957 Mr, Barrand compiled municipal manuals containing historical and up-to- date information about Oshawa, The clerk says 1,500 of the 1957 manuals were printed and "gold very quickly" for $1 each, "We astill-receive requests for that ninevear-old manual," he added, City councils since 1957 have not authorized the printing of a new manual. However, much of the information now being gathered could be utilized if a third edition was authorized, Mr. Barrand said he would like to see a pocket-size statisti- cal manual plblished each year and a more comprehensive manual published at least every five years, "TI think this is public rela- tions," said Mr, Barrand, 'The city should make people aware of Osnawa's history and pro- gress." CENTENNIAL EDITION? He said it might take an- other 18 months before all relevant information is gather- ed in the statistics, information and history book but with mate- rial on hand a city pamphlet could be prepared, if council so wished, for Centennial year. 'As we go on I'm sure we will uncover many more inter- esting aspects of the city's his- tory," said Mr. Barrand. "I'd like to share this infor- mation with others (by publish- ing it) and not just keep it inside city hall," .|ity on the beach, Road Appeal Dismissed a 1965 decision by the Thorah township committee of ment, The appeal was heard in the the township, and facing partly on LAke Simcoe.
