Donald Tolmie, Liberal MP for Welland, has placed a order paper asking if such leg- Oil Dumping Law Noted By City Harbor Manager Oshawa harbor is _ not equipped to. receive garbage and human waste from ocean- going vessels, manager Wilfred Gillberry said today. He was commenting on at- tempts by Donald Tomlie, Lib-) eral MP for Welland, to enact) legislation governing disposal of such waste in the Great Lakes. There are regulations curbing ter in the water, but none con- cerning human and other waste. | Mr, Gillberry said that be- cause there was no such legis- lation, the harbor was not equipped to handle such waste. Normally, he said, vessels contain waste in huge tanks and discharge it far out to sea. He said should siteh regula- tions come into effect it would, nevertheless, be unlikely the harbor would set up costly dis- posal receiving and treatment facilities, unless corresponding legislation required harbor com- missions to establish them. He suggested that rather than | require harbors to comply with such legislation, it would be more likely that craft would have their own treatment plants on board. At any rate, he said, the problemi does not exist so much on lake vessels which have islation is being considered. He plans to press the issue with the Department of Transport in an effort to make it an offence for any vessel on the Great Lakes to discharge garbage and sewage into the water. Regulations already exist concerning the dumping of oil and similar wastes into the On larger, passenger, ships, accumulation of waste would be more of a problem and harbors would likely have to confront it by setting up reception facili- ties, but freighters generally manage until far out to sea. If a situation arose where the harbor would have to provide facilities for treatment, the Pub- lic Utilities Commission should |be prepared to provide chemi- leals to treat sewage directly, he | |said. Such a case could arise when, for instance, a sdestroyer came into the harbor. But such would be a rare case. PLEASURE CRAFT Norman Courtney, operator of the Oshawa Yachthaveny said disposal equipment but noted that pleasure craft do not have to install toilet facilities until June, 1968. The regulation by the Ontario Water Resources Commission comes into effect on that date. He said he would provide treatment stations for his clients after regulations are en- forced. Mr. Courtney said regu- lations do not require him to set up such units, but he would do it as a service and would charge for it. At present, pleasure craft that he has no dockside garbage! lakes but until recently there has been little thought given to other potential pollution from ships. "Granted, the bulk of the pol- lution entering the lakes and the St. Lawrence comes from the land through industrial wastes and untreated commu- nity sewage," Mr. Tolmie ad- mits. "But I feel we should not ignore other sources of pollu- tion, even if they are not as serious." The Welland MP -points out that with the steady increase in the number of pleasure craft and the rise in the number of come steadily worse. The Ontario Water Resources Commission is the body pre- sponsible for formulating regu- lations --_ governing pleasure craft. It has been formulating |regulations and dockside dis- charge of sewage is felt to be the answer. But the big job is to sell the idea of control of discharge from Great Lakes' ships. Fed- eral officials are apparently thinking in terms of treated sewage and making the regula- tions applicable only to new vessels or those which go through a major refit. Mr. Tolmie says this is not good enough and that all ves-! sels using the lakes should be reed to utilize dockside dis- charge facilities and improve incinerators which efficiently consume garbage. Greatly im- proved units for both functions have been designed and tested and are now available in Can- ada. CEMETARIES A suggestion by Reeve C. W.

William Taylor, business agent for the loval, said from Toronto the union is awaiting the decision of the labor rela- tions board and action will be taken based upon that decision. He said a meeting is sched- uled Monday morning for the iron workers to discuss the re- sults of the hearing and a course of action will be planned whether or not the decision favors the union. The men walked off their jobs in the middle of December pro- testing safety at the site and Ontario Hydro shortly asked the strike be declared: illegal. The hearing was adjourned Dec. 28 after three days and re- sumed yesterday. LAID OFF Meanwhile, about 200 boiler makers, carpenters @nd labor- rs, were laid off as a result of the strike. A company spokesman said the laid-off workers were the most closely affected by the strike and there was not enough work for them.

The most dangerous location of all --topping the list with 73 {accidents --is Oshawa Shop- jping Center. Inspector Smyth thinks this is partly because it is private property and police have no direct control. "People don't worry about |their driving, just their shop- lping.

Inspector Smyth blames motorists who don't ad- who follow too closely on the tail of other vehicles. He adds: 'It seems people must cheat the speed limits at least a little. If it's 30 mph, they go at 33 --they know they won't be charged for going a couple of miles over the limit." Second highest accident loca- tion in the city was Park Road South from Bloor Street to Wentworth, roughly a half-mile stretch of straight road with four lanes. The culprits -- there were people in a hurry during rush - hours, says Inspector Smyth. 20 ACCIDENTS Similarly, the people deter- mined to get out first caused most of the 20 accidents at dan- ger spot number three, the Gen- eral Motors South Plant Park- ing Lot, he says. 'They want to get home, and they jump in their cars and drive off without taking any safety precautions. Their attitude is "to heck with the other guy," declares the in- spector. The number of charges laid for drunk or impaired driving was 156 last year, almost double the 1965 figure. This is partly because police are tightening up, partly because of the rise in population, and -partly because people are spending more on social activities ifvolving alco- just their speed in accordance with road conditions, and those hol, he thinks, The biggest single offence in 1966 was speeding, with no fewer than 7,095 people sum- monsed, a jump of about 2,000 on the previous year.
