He said by giving the indus- trial commissioner power to purchase entire properties, land could be bought and then resold in smaller parcels to interested industries.

Rudolf Frastacky bought the land in 1956 under a five-year agreement with the city to de- velop 20 per cent of the land. Mr. Frastacky developed only 5.5 acres, almost two acres short of the requirement. He was granted a further ex- tension to 1965, but again failed to meet the requirements and the city threatened to terminate the agreement. Mr. Frastacky came before board of control two weeks ago Infection Dying Out The infection that has kept some 850 Pickering and Bay Ridges children away from their schools during the last three weeks appears to be dying out, Dr. C.

On Amal A consultant wil be hired by the public works committee to study the effect amalgamation between Whitby and Whitby Township will have on Oshawa, jcity council decided last night. Con. Frank McCallum told council that such a study was something that didn't crop up in day to day operation of the city and specialized consultants should be hired if the city want- ed information on the amalga- mation. And Fred Crome, city works commissioner, said that an amalgamation study would be of a composite nature and would involve economics, engi- neering and planning. He said a consultant would probably head the study and farm out work to other con- sultants in major fields. A con- sultant. experienced in amal- gamation and annexation hear- ings would aid the city in lay- ing out its report at an Ontario Municipal hearing, he added. Teen Council Wins Support The city will have two munic- ipal councils this year -- the second time in Oshawa history. There will be the senior coun- cil (for most of the year) and the teenage council (just for Easter). Last night at a city council (senior) meeting permission was given to the Keystone Club to elect its own city council City Backs Study gamation Ald. was in favor of a regional gov- ernment study which would be paid initially by the provincial government and stop the start of any amalgamation proceed- ings. He said the study would include the municipalities in question. However, Con. McCallum pointed out that such a study would require the co-operation of the participating municipali- ties and Whitby Mayor Des- mond Newman has told Oshawa "to keep its hands off." Con.
