Canada, exper- neering wledge stimate in their for ad- cations ROAD a3 COMMITTEES SPLIT BEFORE THEY Two committees of council had their first taste of dis- sent last night and before any business was started they separated, perhaps forever. Parks, property and recrea- tion committee members pack- ed up their pencils and pads and moved upstairs while the social services and general Ppurposess comittee stayed put. The dissension arose out of a tradition that two committees meet together rather than separately in order to ex- change ideas and in the belief the business is handled more efficiently and quickly. PU Con. Frank McCallum, mem- ber of the parks committee disagreed and led the commit- tee from the third floor board room at city hall to the fifth floor lounge. It all started when the social services committee arrived at the board room earlier and settled at the west end of the long, polished conference table. The parks committee followed and, in some disorder, seated itself at the other end. UNHAPPY It was evident from the be- ginning that 'parks' didn't like the arrangement. NA "Why are both committees meeting at once?" Con. Mec- Callum wanted to know. 'Why doesn't each committee deal separated: it was policy decid- ed in caucus," she insisted. At any rate, she continued with both committees sitting in on all with its own items i having to go through the whole agenda?" Ald. Gordon Attersley, chair- man of the social services-com- mittee replied that that's the way things have always been done. '"'Anyway it was decided in caucus as policy when the committees were set up," he said. Con, Margaret Shaw (social services agreed with Ald Atters- ly.

Tree Planting Ceremony Popular As '67 Project There seems little doubt that the city's tree population is go- ing to benefit during Centen- nial year. Most of the city's 26 public echools are planning some kind of tree planting ceremony as their Centennial project. At last night's board of edu- cation meeting a complete list of the public schools' projects was put before the trustees. Twelve of the 26 schools will be planting trees or shrubs.

The city's board of educa- tion has again started discus- sions on a rigid policy for the jrecommended last night jeousetl's public works commit- tee. The city now disposes of its garbage by the sanitary land- fill method in a _ worked-out gravel pit area to the west of Ritson Road North. However, the life expectancy of this site is limited to a few years and it is doubtful if there are many other areas in Osh- awa suitable for this method of garbage disposal, a report from the. public works department indicates. CRITICAL The report points out that gar- bage disposal in the city will be a critical problem in a_ sport time and that a solution must be found. Besides sites for disposal of City Participation Urged In Waste Disposal Study Oshawa's participation in anjlack of disposal areas for solid jarea waste disposal study was/| wastes from industry, the report by| shows. Private disposal areas in the city are not available and the surrounding municipalities are reluctant to permit private op- erations due to the problem of control, it adds. Solution to the problem will entail either the purchase of additional sites (possibly out- side city boundaries) or the con- struction of an incinerator. Proposed by the Central On- tario Joint Planning Board, the study is expected to be under- taken as a joint venture of the six area municipalities: Bowe manville, Whitby, Oshawa, Township of Whitby, Township of East Whitby and Darlington Township.

SPEAKS TO ROTARY CLUB MEMBERS City Must Provide Leadership In Region The need for the simplifica- tion of government from the municipal level upwards was advocated by William Mc- Adams, director of the Ontario County Joint Planning Board, in an address at the Rotary Club meeting Monday. "We must rethink local gov- ernment in the light of 20th century needs," he said. 'The objective should be to return municipal problems, to those who are elected." > Mr. McAdams said residents of the area must realize that population will double in the area in the next 20 years. "If Oshawa is to continue as a regional city, Oshawa has to show leadership and _ initiative in all fields, Local government must be revised to that' of a regional basis. We have been left behind by Halton and Peel Counties. Costs are a serious issue but. we must be prepared to study such problems as fi- nance, transportation, water, sewers and housing. The plan- ning agency must he a compre- hensive body of local govern- ment," Mr. McAdams. said. The 'speaker said the Plan- ning Act which came into force in 1946 is substantially the same today. The act covers six main issues. He said there is a need for some major changes. A mu- nicipality such as Oshawa has an official plan and a compe- tent planning board yet sub- division approvals must come from the provincial govern- ment. This, he said, is wrong. He also said that in his opinion the province should have a plan Mr. McAdams said the im- plementing of the Cummings Report in 1953 resulted in the creation of the Toronto Metro- politan area composed of 13 municipalities. The provincial government at that time gave Toronto planning authority over a number of neighboring mu- nicipalities, including the Town- ship of Pickering, Village of Pickering and the Town of Ajax. "TI feel this was an abrogation of local autonomy," he said. Since it moved its new quar- ters in February of last year, the regional planning board has Started work on a regional plan. The preparation of the plan, Mr. McAdams said, is a relatively simple task but pro- cessing information takes time. He said the staff is now en- gaged in survey work. Later it will determine the meaning of its findings, define goals and objectives, prepare a plan and work toward its implementa- tion. "It must always be remem- bered that planning is permis- sive rather than mandatory," said the planning director. "'The initiative must come from local government No _ provincial monetary assistance is given to planning which is financed on a per.capita basis by local gov- ernment. The provincial govern- ment gives no guide lines re- garding official plans and what is to be included."

"It's not even worthy of a motion. It could have been dealt with through the arena."' Ald. Gordon Attersley, chair- man of the committee, agreed - but noted that because it went through city council, the com- mittee. had to deal with it. Stan Edwards, publicity agent for the Follies had come before council last week sug- gesting Oshawa hold a parade for Mr. Jackson and in turn be treated to a performance by the skater. However, last night Mr. Edwards said the idea of a pa- rade is not suitable for this time of year. MISGIVINGS A delegation from the Osh- awa' Skating Club, headed by Victor Kitchen, president, ex- pressed some misgivings about Mr. Jackson's performance. Mr. Kitchen told the _com- mittee that his club was 'up in arms" because members felt the Jan. 30 show would cut down attendance at an April 8 carnival planned by the local club. However, the representative advertising the Follies in To- ronto would be printed for dis- play in Oshawa mentioning the local club. 5 Mr. Kitchen 'emphasized that the club did not want fo make an issue of it but wanted assurance the local clu» would not be harmed, Mr. Edwards offered assur- ance the Follies would try to assist the local show. 'In fact, now that you niention it, I'm going to come out myself and see it," he said,
